so deev, how are you going?? not that great. I am realising how much of an angry person i am (thanks mum and dad, i'm sure you could have told me this already!!!) anyways, issues with the housemates which i get angry at, and then they get angry in response and due to what i put down to a lack of respect (but then you know, why should they actually care about anyone else) they stay out in the garden late... and now we have a note from our neighbours, a call from the agency (telling us of a complaint and reminding us of our tenancy agreement) and a note from the police (reminding us of how to be good neighbours in london). And so, i am getting frustrated and angry as i have tried to tell the housemates, but they don't listen and now it has got to this... 'they have every right to enjoy their garden'... fair call, but NOT AT 12:30AM and NOT WHEN WE KNOW WE HAVE A NEIGHBOUR WHO HAS ALREADY COMPLAINED!!! I mean, common sense??? and i think i have a right to live in my house without the fear of being evicted... so quite a fun week really. so trying to be loving in this (in God's strength, cos i can't do it in mine). and some of the housemates haven't spoken to me since monday... i mean, GROW UP... let's deal with this. i know i am not perfect, (again mum and dad will agree with this especially) but i deal with immature/disrespectful people all day long at work, i don't think i should have to deal with them at home too(and my kids have special needs and hormones they are trying to figure out that kind of excuses that behaviour...) especially when i am the youngest in the house
ok, so i think i am over my rant for the moment... not sure where to go from here... address the issue and see what to do later...
so... well what have i been up to??
umm, it was the may day long weekend last weekend... i stayed in london for once and decided to use what the city has and spend some time with schelle... soooooo.... we went rollerblading in hyde park on saturday. I LOVED IT!!! i want to buy some blades. and then on tuesday some girl zoomed past me on my way to work and i thought, i could get to work so much faster if i bladed. so might buy some when i get paid in june... my goodness spending heaps of money at the moment. just booked some flights to ireland (so excited rach) and then a spanish course in Granada in August (for 2 weeks) and (mum, you'll be proud) some home insurance, and who knows what else... lots of stuff i'm sure i need.
anyways, sorry, that was a sidetrack... and then saturday night went to AKA bar in Holborn for Geoff's 25th B'day drinks... a lovely night with a lovely bunch of people!!! hurrah!!! it was great to see you all. they all went back to geoff's to watch shark attack 3. apparently a great movie, but schelle and i went home...
sunday, lazy breakfast with schelle (pancakes) and we missed the movie we were going to see at the electric theatre, so we went to prince charles theatre instead and watched perfume:the story of a murderer... a FAB movie! whacked, but good. i would recommend it.
then church, another ripper sermon... i am loving the way God is speaking to me through the talks at church at the moment.
monday, schelle and i went for a run to battersea park to look at the morris dancing and maypole, but it was pouring with rain... and we couldn't see anything, so we went home (by bus, soaked) and then we watched oceans 12, (loving julia roberts... currently watching sleeoping with the enemy as i type) and had jaffles and hot chocolate.
then i went off to LOUDER LONDON, a christian concert at the royal albert hall. saw third day, african children's choir, toby mac, and others i had never heard of. it was a great night! awesome to be in such a big place, 3/4 full of mainly christians. WOW. and then off to street work. we did Covent Garden... met some AMAZING people. one guy was on tv and had been given a book (i think it was called wasted) about a guy who ended up on the streets as he was working at a place where they got paid board and then his job ended and he didn't have enough savings... BUT, he worked his way out of homelessness. and the guy we saw was really inspired. the author signed the book for this guy and it said 'if i can do it, so can you'... it was awesome.
then tuesday, all this crap with the housemates was in full flight (as when i got home on monday night they were in the garden with a fire at 12:30, when we had already had complaints from our neighbours) and so i was angry at them for not thinking of the other housemates and just being disrespectful to me, the other housemates and our neighbours... i struggled with this all day and that night at biblestudy, the preacher read this verse - '"In your anger do not sin":Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold.' Pretty crazy stuff... so i gave my anger to God, but it keeps coming back, so keep giving it to Him. But am loving the fact that every week at church (or all but) the sermon is so on with what i am going through in my life. God is just letting me know He is there and looking after me.
can't really remember what else i have done... i am sooooo tired... had a stressful week at home and at work. My boss actually commented on how i had sent more kids down to the office than usual and for reasons that are not like me. he was worried about how i was going... so that was nice... he actually values me (at least a little) and thinks i usually deal with my kids quite well... hopefully after a relaxing weekend, i'll be refreshed, the kids will be refreshed and we'll be ready to start again.
and this weekend, another one relaxing in london and catching up with a few people...
anyways, enough grumbling from me...
I am still healthy!!! and besides being angry and a bit down, i'm not going too badly!!! haha.
love to you all, enjoy my photos below!!!

me and my rollerblades... so buying a pair!!! (karen, chris wanna go blading?? it will be great fun!!!)and that's it for me... i really should go to bed jessica... i'm tired. although being john malkovic just came on and i've never seen it... no, bed is the wiser decision.
