Weeeeekeeeeeend

Got to Jenn's earlyish on Saturday morning. Well...not really. I was about 2 hours late, but it didnt matter, cause Jenn and Kelly were still asleeeeep. Amala was as well xD.
Eventually, Laura picked up her phone and let me in, then me, Laura, Dani and Charlotte went to get some stuff in Uxbridge.
When we got back Kelly and Jenn came down and we went fabric shopping for Laura. Me and Kelly then spent the rest of the day making Laura's dress for her xD Then we went to Nandos ^_^
Spent a lot of time on Saturday in-character as our forum RPCs. Was a lot of fun.
Fell asleep at some point while Jenn was playing Star Ocean, only to wake up incredibly confused at her and Kelly's disappearance xD Then went to sleep again on the floor with Dani and Laura. I think they got a bit annoyed with me for cover-hogging xP SORRY GUYS!!! <3
Also! There was some really scary drunk guy outside at like 4am on the phone to his girlfriend yelling at her for cheating on him. I was like '>.< meep >.<' He went away pretty quickly though.
On Sunday, we were all up at about 6:30 INCLUDING JENN which I thought was pretty amazing. We were all ready on time as well, which just seemed a bit weird. xD
Conor turned up at some point, then we all crammed into the cars and headed off to THORPE PARK!!! Yaaaay!
Toooo much happened at Thorpe to fit into one journal, but it was all just fantastic. I think there were...15 of us? *tealpirate, *KellyJane, ~One-Sky-One-Destiny, ~sora1992, *Tomoyo-hime, *stripeydani, *Mesodyx, ~VanchaAyris, ~Cameraxel, *the-xiii-hour, ~x-Hidanko-x, ~FrostPup, Phil and Jo (cant remember DAs sorry!) and me! And it was brilliant. We went on every ride at least once, and we went on Saw twice! And I FINALLY got to go on Stealth! Yay! Also made Conor the Scaredy Cat go on every ride as well. He made out he was scared shitless, but he totally loved it!
Had Pizza Hut for lunch which was YUM. Jenn got us a discount cause shes magical ^_^
By about 5ish, we'd kinda done everything so decided to head back to Jenns. As most people departed, me, Dan, Amala and Dani hung around in Uxbridge until about 8ish when my daddy came to pick me up. Thankyou for staying with me guys! *huggles*
Jenn my dear, it was such an AMAZING day, and I dont think Ive ever had such a fantastic day out at a theme park. Thankyou so so so so soooo much for the tickets and driving me and letting me stay over. Love you so much ^_^ Much love to Kelly as well for her godlike ways, organizing and doing Laura's costume with me. <3

Work Experience

I meant to start a work experience diary like last week, but I didnt. Oh well. Im just gonna write down what I can remember of last week and this week and add to it.

Week 1: Turvin's Dairy Farm
Monday: Learned a lot about the dairy and cows. Helped with the milking (twice a day); cleaning and tipping. Fed the heffers. Went with William to mow the field for cow feed. Fed the cows. Got a new tyre for the mower. Cleaned out the pigs. Played with kittens. Nice easy day
Tuesday: Had a much more active role with the milking, putting on the machiney things as well as cleaning and tipping. Cleaned out pigs. Fed heffers. Mowed grass. Fed cows. Had my first experience herding cows (didnt go very well xD)
Wednesday: Milked cows. Was basically running the parlor by this point. Cleaned out pigs. Today was a very busy day as we needed to move all the heffers into different fields. Spent nearly all day herding cows into the right fields. Was actually really fun until my hayfever started playing up. Then the cows needed to be sorted and stuff which was...interesting. xD
Thursday: Milked cows. Cleaned out pigs. Fed heffers. Treated about 20 cows for mastitis. The treatment basically involved thoroughly cleaning the udders, then injecting medicine and a stopper fluid into each teat to clear up the infection, then disinfecting again. Then put headcollars on each cow. After the afternoon milking, me and Phil had an hour or so to kill, so he taught me how to drive a JCB so I could feed the cows myself. Was scary to drive, but a hell of a lot of fun!

Week 2: Medivet Oxted
Monday: Kicked off the day with having to put down two cats with liver failure. Was sad, but more due to the shape the cats were in when theyd been brought in. I always see euthanasia as a kind option and its something I am quite in favor of. Observed a few consults, a bitch spay and a cat castrate. Also had a 44.5kg lab in that was breathing weirdly. After 2 hours, we finally managed to remove a chunk of bark caught in its nasal passages.
Tuesday: More consults. Had a cat spay, bitch spay and dog castrate. Got a pretty bad scratch from a 3 month old kitten getting microchipped. Scanned a cat with a tumor on its intestines, but it was too far progressed to be removed so had to be put down. Also had a dog put down for biting the postman, which was quite distressing as I had to deal with the distraught owner.
Wednesday: Bitch spay, two rabbit castrates, dog with an injured foot. More consults. Had to put down yet another cat with skin cancer. She was 16 years old, which is incredibly old for a cat and such a soppy thing, but she was at the point where keeping her alive any longer would just have been cruel. Learned how to do a blood test.
Thursday: Kinda empty. Had a dog castrate, a bunny needing its teeth filed, a cat that had to be sedated so we could groom it and a cat in recovery. Had a couple of consults, but by 1 o'clock we'd finished with that lot and nothing else was happening til 5pm, so I went home xD Learned how to do a urinalysis.
Friday: Quite busy today. Consults were good, nothing had to be put down! Ops were a bitch spay, rabbit castrate, dog castrate and cat dental stuff. The bitch (Meg) was actually the most adorable dog ever; a hyperactive golden lab puppy. Literally fell in love with her xD I got to sedate her, which was quite cool. Had a call from someone who's dog had collapsed, so two of the girls went out to help, but it was dead by the time they got there I then had to check dead dog later on for rigomortis, which was a bit...odd. Left at lunchtime so I could be home in time for my Co-op shift.

See ya!
