    I'm not up to much to be honest, just watched 'Don't blame Facebook' which I thought was rather fascinating, and I'm just chatting to friends on Facebook now. How about you?

    I was watching Family Guy earlier, I found some of their episodes a bit off. However, it's entertaining. You should watch 'Don't blame Facebook' on 4OD, I think you would really like it, it' shows how media can effect someone so largely, from a simple tweet to two years in prison, or pictures form your Holiday going on to porn websites. Here's the first episode - http://www.channel4.com/programmes/dont-blame-facebook/4od#3478518 I thought TheSite.org had a thread of it, I can't seem to find it however.

    Best show ever :D

    Its just about 8pm here (round Chicago).

    Do you watch Venture Brothers? I think that is actually a tie for the best show, but there aren't nearly enough episodes. :(


    I bought a new pair of earrings and, while they are the same size, I can't get them in. Frustrating.

    I'm at work :(

    although one of the parents of the kids I look after just brought me some pakoras and samosas in, I got dead excited cos I'm so hungry. but I took one bite and they are sooo spicy! some of the pakoras have got full green chilli's sticking out of them, is that right?! haha.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Angel I'll check it out :)

    My name, I've never seen venture brothers! what's it about??

    And Firey, is there any yogurt you could dip them into cool them down? What's your job, out of interest? :)
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    no, no yoghurt. just water! I'm full of a cold too so they must be spicy! haha. luckily the samosas werent as spicy so iv wrapped the other stuff up to take home for my boyfriend in the morning, he loves spice!

    I work for the NHS I support children with severe disabilities at home or in schools. kind of like respite :) I don't always work night shifts, just a few a month. I love my job.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Oh wow that must be such a rewarding job! :) what are the nightshifts like, hard work or do the children generally sleep well?

    Where did you get them from? :P - My mum made Samosas and she makes Pakoras like all the time, you're meant to put the chilli up strangely enough haha, in to small slices. Before adding in to the rest of the mix. You sound like you have an amazing and very rewarding job, I wanted to either go in to mental health nursing or look after children with learning difficulties. I can imagine night shifts being tiring though! (Ribena can have a positive effect on the spices however, or a drink you add water to)

    (Edit: I never saw Broken Angels response, so I seem to have echo'ed her - Sorry)

    Haha. It can be rather boring! It surprises me how may people on Facebook are still online. However...I guess online gaming is the way to go!

    Iv had pakoras before from another family I work with (oh the benefits of my job sometimes :D) and they were gorgeous, more reddy in colour. these pakoras are gorgeous too I'm just too soft for how hot they are! the whole chilli sticking out did surprise me a little bit haha, just cos iv never seen it before! I'm full of veg samosas though hehe.

    my night shifts are usually quite quiet unless the child is poorly, I keep my eye on them all night and have certain tasks to do but other than that I entertain myself as obviously I work by myself and everyone else is asleep! usually it consists of made in chelsea on 4OD :D
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Ah there's hundreds of people online on mine. Says a lot about my friend base, all up late getting wasted!!

    Haha..I love how you respect your oldness. You don't sound that old. Would you say your job was difficult?

    Haha Broken Angel...It's the Summer, may as well get wasted. You have nothing of tomorrow so hang overs are the way to go.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru

    Might be worth getting some sleep in then? What are you up to tomorrow. I have a hospital appointment tomorrow. Such fun. It's at 9 which is a pathetic time to have any appointment.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I wont be able to sleep, not exactly sober!! I've got an appointment at 11, then going to the police station with my friend and then to the Wednesday market to get some cheaappp makeup.

    Haha..Fair enough. Best of luck with the appointment and with whatever reason you are going to.the police station. I never heard of the Wednesday market though...A specific market just for Wednesday...Why?
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    Ah the police station isn't anything to do with me, it's my friend who needs to go I'm just there as moral support! And yea, every Wednesday there's a market in my town :) It's only on Wednesday's.

    I'm glad your friend has a good friend like you. Hope things turn out the way she wants them to. We have a Sunday market..nite very exciting you can get second hand decent stuff on a great discount. My uncle goes their a lot. We've never bought or been to the Sunday market..it's on fairly early hours. It tends to be a drag getting the whole family out early hours.

    I love markets though, so cheap. Like my foundation is £8 in the shops, on the market for £5. Sorteeeddd!

    Ooh, what foundation do you use? I find it rather difficult to find a foundation that actually goes with my skin tone, however, I adore Max Factor. Maybe it's because it's the only one I've really stuck to. My skins been affected by the sun, so, it's more difficult to find a foundation that doesn't make me look to awkward.
  • Former MemberFormer Member Posts: 1,876,323 The Mix Honorary Guru
    I use Maybelline, they have a really good selection of shades and I've never found another brand that actually stays on my face all day! I tried Rimmel London foundation, but it just isn't as good!

    Did you ever get to sleep in the end?

    I've never tried Maybelline, and I have to agree Rimmel foundation is pretty shitty, my sister thought it once and it's just gone to waste. However, in general choose the correct make up is really hard DX Hence why I leave the make up shopping to my sister and my mum ;)
