    Ooh yay GC thread!!

    I’m alright, tired and maybe a little bit tipsy because I promised myself no wine till Friday and now guess who’s drank nearly a bottle of wine :lol: Feeling a bit lost tbh don’t really know what to do with myself!

    How’s everyone else

    Hahaha you made it until Friday like you said you would though Elle!! How was the last couple of days? You were feeling pretty yucky on Tuesday from your holibobs

    I'm not toooo bad, work was a bit busy but got to leave at 4 so couldve been worse :D

    Yeah idk why I felt so terrible, probably just too much alcohol and junk food but hey it was fun!!! Felt better the day after and have been sooooooooooooooooo busyyyyyyyyyy, we’re getting a new kitchen on monday so this weekend is gonna be spent sorting shit out just like this entire week has been since I got back! So I am stressed!

    @leyla26 getting to leave early is always a bonus!! I’ve had a spike text from my own work but I won’t be use to anyone tonight lol so I’m listening to happy music!

    @amy22 well it’s not started fitting yet, we still have the old one in just now but we went on a mad hunt for storage boxes this morning, once the cleaner has left tomorrow me and mum are going to lift all the stuff out and put it all in storage and set up a makeshift kitchen in the dining room, it’s stressful but all going to be worth it!!

    Hey @Jellyelephant how are you?

    @independent_ The problem is with holidays is that they don't actually refresh you half the time lol, you need another week to get over the holidays!! And you went straight into having to do stuff for your kitchen, which is rude of the world to be honest

    Oh absolutely ignore any and all texts to listen to music, much more important imo

    I occasionally work spikes on a Friday night but think tonight is just gonna be wine and music @leyla26, i mean there’s no more cold rosé so maybe no more wine

    @independent_ Wow it does sound like a lot to do. I can imagine how stressful it is having to move everything around. Well at least you'll be able to have a nice new kitchen soon :)

    @Jellyelephant Hiya Jelly :)

    @leyla26 I was so relived after Thursday tbh, I'm glad that I can do second year now so it's going to plan atm. I just now need to wait on my skills results next Thursday, low key dreading those results, I know I probably haven't done that great, as I didn't enjoy skills in college.

    Amy we're all proud of you for getting those results and also getting through the day!! Are the skills grades important? I don't think I've ever heard of them!

    I think that Amy meant Functional Skills which is a qualification. I think that it is basically equivalent to a grade 4 at GCSE.

    What are we going to do? This will be the end of us! You hear! The end of us! Sorry but I had to include one of my lines from the show I had today when responding to what @independent_ said.

    @leyla26 Aww thank you so much!. I'm relieved though tbh I was soo scared like :lol: (typical me). I had them online. I think my skills might be important, not sure though but my tutors mentioned about needing to pass it. I feel so unorganised and unprepared for going back though to college. I'm supposed to have an idea of what I'm doing when I come back.

    @Dancer Hi 😊

    We tested this out the other week, and I think mods are immune to the spam block (don't let that power go to your head).

    @Dancer yeah I think it's something like that, I did a digital literacy skills qualification in college. I had to make websites.
