Havent had a chance to write it up yet so here goes

On the 1st of May my college had a summer ball suprizing at the same place as my year 11 Prom. So once again it was time to wear a dress and try and look pretty.

Myself, my wonderful boyfriend Matthew, Solly, Vicky and Rob decided to tag along and gamble, drink and be merry.

We had some very professional Pictures take of us all some with Vickys new friend “the stain!!” lol but other then that it was a very enjoyable night with dance on the glass coved floor. Poor Zoe!!!

My Fit

Posted in College at 13:01 by Joanne Crotty

So today (8th November) was my courses First aid course.

 Now I am extremely lucky that this happened when it did. I don’t know what triggered it. I wasn’t feeling queasy because no images had been shown to the class. And prior to the fit I was laughing at comments myself and Ella had been making.

At some time after 11 today, I  felt a stomach ache and then felt a major headache/dizziness, so I put my hands on my head and rested my elbows on my knees. This is where I blacked out. I remember hearing a lot of noise, like a train was going right passed my ears. I opened my eyes to be looking at the First aider in the room and a few class mates.

What I was told happened was:I learnt forward and said “I feel sick” I then moaned, and felt left onto Jess, the chair went from under me. I then hit my face, just under my left eye on the chair. When I was on the floor I started to shake, this is apparently known as fitting movements. So there u go my fit.

Now my parents couldn’t pick me up, and because strangely enough I had no headache, no stomach ache anymore, only my eye was throbbing a bit, I didn’t even want to go home. Or have an ambulance, So I asked to go back to class, after a lot of questioning.

My Acheivements/Injuries

Posted in College, Work at 13:01 by Joanne Crotty

As most of you have caught on I have a job. At the wonderful Debenham’s in Basildon…Sometimes I wish the place would just eat itself! I really cant hack the place sometimes but then others I think its a brilliant job, such as pay day (£381.18!).

Right so I work in Home soft, which is towels, bed sheets, covers and all the fluffy stuff that gets stuck to your jumpers, to which me and Bobbie use up the stores supply of sellotape, getting it off! So generally soft things….HOW THE HELL DID I MANAGE TO HURT MYSELF WITH TOWELS AND SHEETS! I don’t rightly know, well those of you who know me, know i am a cluts! (i said cluts not sluts guys)

So I managed too:

Cut my finger on my locker
Cut below my thumb on a duvet! well the box
Bruise my arm -moving bed sheets
All in one weekend……stupidity! I think not! lol I’m proud to think that on the one department its impossible to get hurt on i did!

Also college! EH! Well Thursday’s serves the 2 hours of Fitness! ouch is one word. Now the Thursday just gone I managed to:

Fall over in Badminton and crack my left wrist and am now wearing a pressure brace.
Get hit in the face, with a football
Get hit in the Shoulder, with a football
Get hit in the Stomach with a football
Get hit in the thigh with a football….

DANGEROUS!!!!! I bloody well think so!!!! :]

Then back to work…. Overtime on Tuesday. The day before Halloween! Me and Bobbie, Alan (our boss) and Ryan get in the 20 year old industrial lifts and head down to the stock room in the basement, 10 minutes before the end of work. What happens….Less then 5seconds after getting out of these big old sceary lifts we have a power cut. Ryan and me both reach for our phones and put the flash lights on. Alan tell me and Bobbie to move the cages to the end of the stock room while him and Ryan go out onto the shop floor. WHAT HAPPENDS!!!!….The doors to the stock room lock due to the power cut alarms after Alan and Ryan leave. Trapping me and Bobbie in the basement of Debenham’s….clearly not getting paid enough….
