Jess's Diary - Weighed in a day early..

aww hun, there are sooo many people like that in the world - reading your post was like dejavu for me.. some of my friends are exactly the same!

think of the extra money you can now spend on yourself instead of their bridesmaid dresses! :D x
 
Thanks everyone, me and Hen had a good ***** about them last night and we're going to write a joint facebook message to all of them explaining how we feel etc. As my FB buddies will know, I wrote "I need better friends" and I think Sarah knew that was about her and she started a facebook chat asking me if I got her text message "no, but Adam did, it's been his number for a year now". She asked when she could see me instead :rolleyes: We'll see. Then she said Eileen and friend Fodge were organising a night out in Swansea on November 29th and could I make it. NO! If you can all go out in Swansea, come and visit me and Hen you James Blunts! They are all dressing up as Where's Wally apparently, sounds very lame and they will probably go clubbing and all sorts of crap I don't like. When I finally have some spare cash (god, is it EVER gonna happen?? even if I get this law job there will be a gap in payments between m&s and first pay so that will suck again, then xmas.. arrrgh), I'm going to buy pretty clothes and go to some nice cocktail bars with Hen, then another time we're going to go to the alternative/metal pubs/clubs in Camden.

I'm just feeling pretty fed up really, I don't have any friends around here and I don't know how to make any that are my age-ish. I don't think I will be making friends through work any time soon. I'm sick of barely having enough money to get by on, I hate the stupid home counties and the expense. I'm so tired as my body just can't used to getting up before 6am. I'm working overtime today, on my day off 5-10pm, then have to be in work at 7am tomorrow, then going back in at 6pm-10pm again, then in for 7am the morning after that. This weekend I am going to eat pie, drink lots of alcohol and watch X-Factor. It's especially hard as I always thought "once I get a good job, get some money, settled down everything will be good" but it never seems to come, and there is no "once" anymore, this is actually my life now! If I don't get the law job (4 people, 2 places) I will cry!
 
Aw Jess...big, huge, mahoosive cuddly hugs xx I have a fair idea of how you're feeling, been having the same issues with some of my friends, feels like it's only ever me going all the way up north to see them, and hardly anyone comes down here.. Even my mum asked if I get married would we come up there and I said no cos our lives are down here..supposedly I was being unreasonable in expecting everyone up there to travel down?!?

Sorry - didnt mean to hijack ur diary!! Oops!

Hope u feel happier soon xx
 
Big huge hugs Jess, sorry I've not checked in earlier firstly. I know how you feel about friends who you make an effort for but is not reciprocated - over the summer I spent a lot of time with a couple of guys I knew from school but it was always on their terms and whenever I got in contact with them. In the end I just cut them loose and I've not heard from them since...!

Thinking positive vibes for you petal xxx
 
Its rubbish that its all getting on top of you Jess but hopefully things will start to fall into place soon, you've not been in your new home and job that long yet. I've got a good feeling about that law job too. I'm sure you'll get it.

Anyway, sod your friends and their selfish ways - just think....a few more weeks and you'll be drinking cocktails in Glasgow with the minimates :D
 
Hey jess sorry to hear things are a bit rubbish lately:(...people can be so unreliable its untrue.

As kals says think positive thoughts cos negative ones will only bring negative stuff back at you!

Awww Jess - MASSIVE SQUEEEEEEZE! Poor you chucky. I can very much empathise with you hun. It takes a long time to settle somewhere and it can be really hard to make new friends. Since I've moved I've found myself socialising with a lot of people who aren't my age, but actually, it doesn't matter in the slightest because we still have loads of fun.

I've found that friends do tend to come and go - I find this really hard but am starting to realise that people don't mean to be hurtful, they just get wrapped up in their own lives. When you're a considerate person like you are this can really upset you but to be fair you sound like you've sustained some really good friendships, especially with your friend Hen.

I'd like to say that the dosh situ will improve - of course once you bag this law job it will a bit, but in reality I think money is always vile! There's always something else to pay for but you just find yourself indulging in simple things - I have spent 2 saturday nights in, drinking wine and watching X Factor and they've been great and not cost me much at all.

You're sounding just a bit tired and fed up but that's totally natural given everything you've got going on. Like you say, it's easy to think 'once this happens everything will be ok' but it's never like that.

Good job you have:
a) Adam
b) Hen
c) Mumma K
d) minimates
e) A fab personality which will attract all sorts of new friends.

Hope you feel better soon chucky x x x
 
You will get the law job Jess
You will positive thoughs bring positive results

Thanks :) I do feel quite positive about it. I'm clever and I'm going to work my little bum off because I really want it, can't do more than that bar killing the competition. If I don't get it and I worked my hardest, I clearly wasn't really suited to it.

What about everyone from daaahn south travelling up? Plus planning a wedding from a distance would be tough. Families, eh! I am lucky that there isn't too much distance between here and there, but I'm just having it whereever the nicest venue is, be it here, Worcs, Scotland, Ireland (though perhaps they don't do civil ceromonies there?), Devon.. whereever! I have a big idea of what I want and I'll go whereever I can get it :)

Don't worry, I've been a sporadic with my posting recently :) It's hard, cos we used to be very close and I think because I have no one else it's hard to cut loose.

Squeazy hugs! I too get a bit pee'd off at "friends" - I have lived in London for 10 years and only one friend has come to visit me and the only other person in my ex and his wife. I always do the running up to the Midlands and then when I'm there I seem to have to go around theirs, stay all day, go to another, stay all night, go out for coffee, do lunch - They get pretty ar$ey if I tell them that I'm too tired; once I had "Why even bother coming up here if you are going to stay in?" - Well... Because I am also hear to see my family and I have a daughter who my Mom doesn't want to look after every night FFS! One friend!! So I know exactly how you feel!

As for the money situ, God, you have probably heard it so many times, but it will get better Jess, I pinky promise :)

Law job - My crystal ball is sending out good vibes ;) xxx

SQUUUEEZE :) Must be a damn lazy midlanders thing! Can you get your crystal ball to send out some money too? ;)

Its rubbish that its all getting on top of you Jess but hopefully things will start to fall into place soon, you've not been in your new home and job that long yet. I've got a good feeling about that law job too. I'm sure you'll get it.

Yes! So looking forward to Glasgow. I'm hoping that I get the job and start at the beginning of November then get paid at the end of the month so I can treat myself to a nice outfit and a few wee cocktails! Well, even if I don't, I'll just do lots of overtime!

Thanks Hannah :) I do have good stuff to focus on. I'm lucky I really enjoy Adam's company and that he's a bit poofy and girly. He was really into the *****ing and gossiping.

It's not so much age really, as similar personalities I'm looking for. I had a great friend in college who was late 40s, but then there is a friend of a friend who is just slightly older than me but has a one year old.. sooo dull. There are people like Nikki, who happen to be a mum and then there are people who are just mums! Every single facebook status - no lie - every single one is about her daughter. She was at a BBQ with the sprog and ohh my goood, so dull. When Nikki talks about Ee it's funny and interesting.. most mums wouldn't admit they, for one second, thought they loved a cat more :p They just go on and on about how amazing their child is. One status - "is wondering if child going to have a nap today?" Really? No one else is! Shut up! Adam's workmates and friends are about a decade older than me but I have more in common with them. But most people that age have kids and I find it really hard to meet people my age that are like me, as I'm a bit old souled for my age, without the responsibility and a bit geeky and girly at the same time.

Anyway, the facebook snipe seemed to have got to them! I got a FB msg and a text from Eileen and Fodge trying to arrange a weekend to come down. They were very adamant they will make sure they can come down the second weekend of December.

Got to watch Glee so I will come online when I get home from work tomorrow and have a read and a post sesh :)
 
Aw Jess hun big hugs from me, sorry I didn't post sooner, I did however see your FB post and thought "you know me too". Friends can suck, you've read about mine :mad:

I also know exactly how you feel about being in a new place and having no friends or money. It hit me when the folks left at the weekend that apart from D I have no one! Not even a cat :cry: but hun you'll get there are you have such a lovely personality that once you've been in your job a while you'll have made loads of friends.

Good luck with the law job too hun, I've got a goooooood feeling about it

I get really hacked off with so-called friends who can't be bothered to send a birthday or Christmas card because we're overseas. Oh sorry, did the Royal Mail stop sending international post while I've been away? I've always sent cards to friends when they're overseas but apparently I'm the only person who can handle buying an international stamp - must be a very special skill!

Best of luck with the job trial.

I'm reet p!ssed off! Sorry I haven't been around much btw, I'm reading but I don't get chance to post as Adam's always with me and it really bugs me when he stares at my screen while I'm typing. P!ss off and read your own! Need to rent. My friends SUCK. I've lived away from Worcs for 4 years and one has visited me twice, the others once. I go back constantly for birthday drinks, birthday meals, blah blah, as does my lovely, reliable friend Hen who lives in London. One friend, Sarah, always invites loads of randomly young farmer's people (who are kn0bs) and we always get stuck next to them! I didn't drive 3 hours to have a conversation which a bunch of loser strangers. I also visited three of them in Cardiff as that's where most went to uni twice in 1 year. One time I was throwing up all night and throwing up on the way there, could barely speak and I STILL went. Anyway, they said they would come to my halloween party (missed my 21st birthday, 22nd birthday, housewarming, etc etc) but nope. My friend Beth visited recently and she has just go to do a master is York so that's ok, she's visited and has a lot on. Other friend Eileen FBed me a while ago saying halloween weekend was too expensive but she could do blah weekend or blah weekend.. should have booked it a lot earlier! I couldn't do the other weekends, but at least she offered. Sarah text ADAM'S phone, which hasn't been my phone for one year and I've said numerous times as she keeps doing it, saying she couldn't go as she had to go to an engagement party!! Well, these people were supposed to be my bridesmaids but Sarah is definitely out and possibly Eileen as how the feck am I supposed to rely on them to go to dress fittings etc? Will save me a hell of a lot of money. I'm done with them, not going up visit them in Worcs anymore. At least I have Hen!

Men......Friends.......jobs......money.....

Whoever invented all of the above is a very nasty person!!!

No seriously Jess......I get the whole friends thing too and it does suck big time.....I only moved about 20 miles from home and really felt a big change at the time and felt like I was the one making all the commitments for meeting up with my friends (the whole 2 of them!!!! all the others are more like friends met thru work, who are wicked, but my 2 are my friends from school).....we did have a bit of an argument about it and things have never been better, we now see each other a lot more and all make the effort equally.

It will get better hunni..xxxxxx

If I don't get the law job (4 people, 2 places) I will cry!

It is really hard getting ur body into the work routine and early rises etc and still keep up with housework etc.

Don't know bout you but I just don't know how i'd cope with all this and a child.....think i'd go mad!!!xxx

Very wise words Miss Hannah..xxx

I have a big idea of what I want and I'll go whereever I can get it :)

You do what you want missy, I listened a lot to others and really wish I hadnt but still had a great day..xxx

Yes! So looking forward to Glasgow. I'm hoping that I get the job and start at the beginning of November then get paid at the end of the month so I can treat myself to a nice outfit and a few wee cocktails! Well, even if I don't, I'll just do lots of overtime!

Woop Woop!!!! Bring on the cocktails..xx

Hehe, love Nikki's comments too....much better than the usual sh!te mothers post on FB!!..xxx

Anyway, the facebook snipe seemed to have got to them! I got a FB msg and a text from Eileen and Fodge trying to arrange a weekend to come down. They were very adamant they will make sure they can come down the second weekend of December.

Hope they do start to make the effort chick.....they need to realise what they'll be missing...you're a star Miss Jess..xx

And I still have little moments when I think "For eff sake Eesha, eff off, I'm giving the cat a tickle" :D

Love it Nik!!! haha!!.xx

Hope you're feeling better Jess...whats ur plans for the weekend apart from x factor?.xx
 
Not much Linz! Today I am off to Nymans Gardens (National Trust) and hopefully will use the voucher they sent ages ago. 4 scones and a pot of tea, yum yum. If not it's a voucher for £9 worth of food. Yesterday only left the house to have a mooch around some charity shops for a punch bowl, found a big glass one my mum has for £4, perfect :)
 
Ooh are you going to make punch for your Halloween Party then Jess
sounds like lots of fun
Hope you have a lovely day at the NT
 
Hello my-identical-fabulous-name-twin :D

I hope you had a great weekend and having a great Monday :)

Love Jess xxx
