Evening.

Glad to be home. I'm curled up on the sofa, reading "Gone Girl" and waiting for my pizza to arrive.

What are you all doing?

Well if I ever end up working in law reform, then I might be able to change that Perhaps I could write a research paper on the topic of employment contracts and the law. My favourite lecturer could help as she's an employment law expert (or labour law as my college calls it)
Thanks All it does is keep the rich rich and the poor poor.

I'll see what I can do If I had the time I'd write a paper about zero hour contracts and the law and how it affects companies and their employees. I'm sure my favourite lecturer could give me some advice

I think i need a break from this place
I am not being paranoid but my posts have been criticised or ignored a lot more than usual lately. I am sick of it.

The other week i made a remark about a dodgy accent and i got a telling off from MoreTears about different accents in different times. They decided to abuse me regarding my remark, yet turned a blind eye to the 5 posts before me who remarked the same.

It's the same pattern all the time but i shouldn't feel the need to want to temporarily leave this place.

Evening.

Catching up with tonight's Hollyoaks.

Anyone had any trick or treaters? I haven't. We haven't had them for years now.
As you were catching up with Hollyoaks just after 7pm, were you watching the 6.30 episode on C4? I usually watch the "First look" episode at 7pm on E4. That was why I considered Kirsty-Leigh Porter (Leela)'s anniversary to have been October 23rd!

I did not have any trick or treaters. I saw a few kids dressed up like some but none attempted to stop me. Maybe I know how to look menacing when appropriate?

I've been wanting to like the Foo Fighters music for years and I think that I'm getting there. They have so many good songs!

Best album to start with? I've listened to some of "The Colour and the Shape" and I quite like that one. At the moment I'm listening to the "Greatest Hits" album.

No I was watching the C4 episode. I had recorded it and caught up when everybody had gone out. I was quite surprised that they got rid of the parents to be honest. I quite liked that family set up. Although apparently the actors weren't happy about leaving. Seems as if they were axed instead of choosing to leave.

Morning! I'm at college now. I've started working on one of my essays. It's about legal capacity and people with disabilities and mental health issues.

Afternoon

I'm at home now after work. I've had a hot bath and now i'm in my pajamas. Horrible weather in the South East of England today, we've had torrential rain. I'm very glad to be indoors. I hate driving in that weather.

Evening Mimi! It's been sunny here today and I hope it stays like that for the rest of the week. I've started writing my first Masters essay and I'm off to my French class in a while.

It's sunny today annoying to drive in though. I'm so short that the sun is often in my eyes.

I'm sat drinking a smoothie before going to see "Gone Girl" at the cinema. I finished the book this morning and I'm excited to see how it turns out on film.

I dropped French lessons as soon as I could. I think that I was 15. I wasn't very good at it, to be honest. Do you enjoy it?

Try advocating free market principles like free movement of goods, services and labour on the Politics board. I am constantly shouted down by the Kippers. I might join you on a break from this place.

I studied French until A Level and boy that was a mistake. I was a solid B student in French up until that point. Then comes A Level and I drop to an E

Yeah I like it but I hate the grammar stuff and all the verbs. That can be so boring! I'm doing it as a side project. My Masters is my main focus I had my presentation today and that went well. I had a run in with my parents this morning. They're pushing me to do a PhD next year and I'm not sure if I want to do it or not. Anyway mum was prattling on about potential supervisors and she doesn't want me to ask L.A. as she thinks she's a stickler when it comes to work (or as Britney says, you'd better work bitch ). I was shocked as she was the one I was gonna ask 'cause she's my favourite lecturer. I started singing Britney songs and I think mum shut up then

I see the UKIP rhetoric on EU migration has taken a blow again today. Always good to see

Silly me! I wasn't thinking. I won't do it again. What did they say about EU migration? Do they want to put a stop to it? If I was voting in the next election I would vote for UKIP or the Monster Raving Loony Party.

Have you tried CompareTheMeerkat? You get a free meerkat if you take out insurance with them

They didn't say anything but we have had another report showing that EU migrants contribute more to the country than the take.

We did use Compare the Market but we went directly to the insurer's website rather than take out insurance through CTM because it's cheaper.

At the end of this month I'm going to have no money at all. I have my car insurance, MOT and tax to cover.

Maybe CTM charge more for the meerkats, I don't know. I got back from college not long ago.

They charge more because they have to take their cut. It probably doesn't have anything to do with the toys

That's the nature of middle men. They take a cut on top of what the insurer is charging.

It's why I always go directly to the insurers for quotes.
