Hi, Tiffany - I used to live in a house like that - it's horrible feeling weird when you're on your own ... never mind, I might tell you a joke ...
Hi, kd - sounds like a complete balls-up! (Pun intended!) I know nothing about football but my commiserations ... I guess group dynamics operate everywhere ... drat them!!
Hey, Rachie, I was flitting about the forums, or rather this laptop, which seems to respond to body heat and sign language, put me on to health forum, and you said in a thread you'd been working in a vet's for the summer - that sounds amazing - what I wanted to train for but parents didn't approve ... |

Yeeah, it was voluntary work , unfortunately they could only fit me in for a week :\ I did have a fabulous time, I'm thinking of doing vet nursing you see , hence the reason im doing another 2 years at college for animal management. BUT I think the B@1T$@$D Tories have taken away the oppurtunity to do vet nursing without going to uni ¬_¬ If that's the case, I won't be doing vet nursing. Hopefully I'll get an animal technician job in a zoo ^.^!! |

Hey Tiffany, great about house!
Hey, Rachie - that's awful! Censored tories! Hope you do manage to get on a course. When I was 18 I had to ask my parents for finance ... no go - it wasn't 'posh' enough grrr. However I got my own back by marrying young, having my own house and menagerie and being my own veterinary nurse ... Looking back on it I could have cut out the marrying bit, but he's a nice guy and though separated we're still mates. He's got a new partner (she's nice) and they live in a house full of white sofas and no pets ... wonder why??  |

If I'm honest I'd rather work in a zoo you get a better veriety of animals and stuff. I could go to uni but I just dont want to, I applied last year and got into 3 uni's for teaching (I would be moving there right now actually) but I decided it wasn't my passion or my dream - it was my moms.
Oh I wish a man would marry me and buy me some goats or something.
White sofas?...NO PETS...?! D: Sounds like my step dad.

Hey, you got it - it was your mum's dream. My mother's too - classic syndrome eh? Uh... of my experience of men marrying, they won't buy you goats, they will expect you to get a typing job, cook, clean, mother, drink halves quietly with the wives while they are drinking pints with the lads, and STILL be lively at the end of the evening after serving tea and sandwiches and waiting up for spouse to decide to retire ...
Grr grr, don't get me started ... well, he is a sweet guy. Just a man ... |

Aww bless ... just buy 2 halves then!
Hey, if you ever have to do what I did when breeding cats, like assisting a difficult breech birth in a hurry, it would be an advantage to have small hands! Can't believe I did it now, but there was no time to go to the (fairly distant)vet. Sounds like you're in the right profession. |

I would LOVE to work in a zoo. Yet you still need some sort of qualification to do so, and I don't have a decent enough job to be able to afford to go to College, and really am not keen on the idea of being in debt before I can get a job financially stable enough by going to uni. UGH! lol.
Vicious circles are the worst. |

Working in a zoo is such an amazing job (I imagine) yet so disappointing, besides needing qualification it doesnt pay particularly well, less than both of my parents earn and my mum is a department manager for asda and my dad is a telecommunications engineer for BT. Its a real shame cause it would be so exciting and so extremely rewarding. Ahh well. Tiffany-x |

I once met a woman who'd worked in a zoo. She was in charge of the leopards. Or, more specifically, mucking out the leopards. I kid you not.
What must that have been like? Massive cat litter tray???
(Don't tell me, you'd have done it too just for the chance to work in a zoo. Me too, me too ...)
Scarlett, how's Tinks getting on? |

Wow I can't imagine working with leopards! That would be amazing, I think i'd still find the joy of working with them even after scooping up their poop! I don't think I'd be suitable to working with big cats though, I'd love to work with sea lions, but im terrified of water so thats a no go ... Maybe I'll settle for a kennel and cattery haha!
