Ho-hum in OD

Laptop is fixed. Still not in my grubby little mitts, though, as I don’t have the money to pay for the repair. I’m hoping my mum will help me out with that, cos the guy needs the money by the end of the week. Hate to think what’ll happen otherwise. Thankfully, it’s only costing £60 and not the £90 – 115 others were quoting.

What else? Supposed to be going to see The Muppets next week with a friend, but won’t be able to 🙁 Triage are sending me on this two week training thingy which is supposed to end with a guaranteed job interview for Poundland. Sadly, there’s an awareness session next week which, if I don’t attend, I’ll lose my benifits.

Anyone who’s been keeping up with the Workfare debacle will know how much I trust the promise of a guaranteed job interview.

We can’t go and see the film in the evening, cos we’re going to the footie. In fact, I’m going to two games in the next week. On Saturday, Teesside Hospice is having a bucket collection outside the ground. I helped out with the last one and will be doing so again. In exchange, I get a free ticket.

Then next week, I’m going to the Riverside with some of the other borotweetup lot for the England Under 21’s game. One of the tweetup organisers works for the council and was able to get tickets for £5. Plus, she’s paying for mine.

It’ll be the first time I’ve ever been to a match and supported precisely neither team. Should be fun.

Think that’s abput it. Original plan for this entry was to do a survey, but there’s not actually any good ones about.

So a couple of pics:
