IM SO SORRY! I thought I replied to your visitor message but I obviously didn't. It kept looking at me it was so awkward I wanted to touch it because it was so cute but then again I was pretty scared of it. It was one of these petting zones so everyone could touch the animals at first I didn't know what it was so I asked someone and they told me it was a Lama there was about 4 of them just walking around and one of them came right up to us and just looked me right in the eye.
If you had your way you would probably have a pet Lama if that's even aloud can you get them as pets in Scotland??? I highly doubt it.

I imagine you have been driving your new car for a few weeks now if I'm correct it does seem a long while since you passed your driving test. I have never liked them they always give you the wrong directions from my experience. Im still learning it's taking me a while but i'll get there in time I hope!

Take care ~Justin~

Hey!

I'm awful at keeping in touch, I'm so sorry. The driving is fine, my sat-nav might as well just sit there and laugh at me for all the help it gives me but other than that it's great. How's yours going? Are you near to doing your test yet?
Llamas! I don't really know why I love them so much. I don't even remember starting to like them, it's just kind of always been there as far as I know. Just look at them though, how can you not love them?

Hey

It's been a couple of weeks how's you ? How's the driving going? I went to a farm for a birthday party and they had lamas and I Instantly thought of you. I have always wondered what made you love them so much?

Take care ~Justin~

Hey I'm really sorry I didn't answer your VM I have been really unwell then my mood started going down hill then I got sick again so its been an up and down few weeks. The car looks lovely have you picked it up yet? I want a car now haha.
Hows it going?

Take care ~Justin~

It probably will be. The blue Fiat 500 is gorgeous, I took it for a test drive tonight and while I do like the shape, size and colour, it's VERY basic. While I was out driving it, my dad was looking around the showroom and found THIS

It's gorgeous, it's sporty, and it has parking sensors, sat nav, bluetooth, USB connectivity, voice activation. It's basically got everything I had thought "Oh that would be nice but the Fiat doesn't have it"
So I'm going tomorrow night to sign the payment plan and will pick it up on Friday. Very exciting!

I actually will be able to drive the office "pool car" now if I want to. It was meant to be our HR Manager's company car but she wasn't really going to be using it so now anyone can drive it providing they ask me first because I have the key and logbook. I think you need to be manager status to get your own company car, unless you're a car salesmen because I think they get a company car to basically advertise the model, and also so they can sell it better because they have experience with it. It'd still be awesome to basically get a free car though!
It was my first time. It was amazing but busy. I really want to go back on my own sometime for a few days and just take my time. See what I want to see, wander around, get lost, have an adventure. It's definitely a plan, just probably not this year because I don't want to use all my work holidays.
I basically sat and read cracked.com articles on my phone the entire time. It's SUCH an addicting site and some of the articles are really funny.

I guess Scotland will be on full alert now your gonna be driving around. Im sure your gonna do great I saw the pictures of your car which you posted it's so nice! Is that the one which your gonna be buying or are you just looking at the moment? You're so lucky driving also opens up many job possibilities as well. Which is the main reason I want a drivers licence is so I can get jobs which will allow me to drive a company car that would be so cool!
Driving is very rewarding I'm glad you achieved it. You had sound a great time in London was it your first time in London or have you been before? The train back to Scotland must have sucked what did you do on the ride home to entertain yourself? I would of been so bored I probably would have fell asleep.

Take care ~Justin~

Thank you. Balloons are awesome, especially yellow ones. I've recently discovered I love the colour yellow.
The nearest dealer who sells the car I like has one in the right colour waiting in the forecourt right now. They said I can go in anytime to test drive it and that it's for sale if I want it. Guess where I'm going after work tomorrow??
Getting a job is really difficult just now, though. At least if you're learning something it's something else to put on your CV. Once you get something, even if it's a crappy 4 hours a week in a shop job, it really is easier to get something else because you'll have experience. Use TH on your CV and say that through your time helping teenagers with a variety of problems you have developed effective communication and diplomacy skills, as well as the ability to be patient and sympathetic. Just talk up everything you've ever done and make it sound impressive.
It was beyond busy, but the atmosphere was amazing. Everyone was pumped up and excited and seeing thousands of strangers cheering on, not just their family or friends, but EVERYONE who was running was brilliant. It was really good.
I came back on the train, it took about 4 hours or so, but it feels like a lifetime when all you want is to get home to your family and bed again! I did a little. I was there for a Sherlock convention so did that all day Saturday. On Friday I saw Leicester Square and went round M&M's World which was amazing. On Sunday before I came home I saw Trafalar Square, Buckingham Palace, Westminster, The National Gallery and The London Eye. It was a packed weekend!

I absolutely am! I did the computer (theory) test in December and did the actual driving test today. I passed like 3 hours ago and I've already arranged a test drive and possible purchase of the car I like, as well as a sat nav and insurance. Just a tiny bit excited.

Congratulations balloons we can't get enough of them right? Im so proud of you lovely. Yeah snow can be funny but as you get older it just becomes annoying I would like it to snow on Christmas days as it gives it a whole happy feel to the day then I would like it to go away. It's an apprenticeship in employability not that I want to do it I would rathe have a job which is what I'm currently trying to get but it's better then sitting at home doing nothing all day isn't it? London must of been so busy last Sunday I'm surprised you didn't get lost. I don't like being around loads of random people in the tube station STRANGER DANGER Im not a big fan of loads of people that I don't know I would of been panicking if I was you. How did you get back to Scotland? Did you do any exploring round London it has loads of interesting things to do.

Are you fully legal to drive a car now? Do you not have to do anymore exams? In England we have to do 2 I think one is a test on the computer and the other one is driving the car.

Take care ~Justin~

Well I passed it!
It was insane! The London Marathon was on Sunday so all the tube stations were PACKED. I have never seen so many people in such a small space before. I don't understand the weather. It was 20C last week. Yesterday it snowed and today it's been raining. Why can't the sun just come here and stay for the summer instead of the weather going back and forth so much?

Sure, we can watch paint dry or something! What's your apprenticeship for? I've never done one but learning in a practical environment sounds amazing. You get to SEE what you're learning instead of just reading about it.

Oh my god so scary I wish you all the best lovely you know you can do it I have faith in you. I love London but I also hate it so busy! It's snowing why do I live in boring England it either rains or it rains. Honestly the weather is getting better it's been sunny a lot recently. I like sun when it's not to hot.

No, I'm about as boring as you. Nothing! Wanna be boring together? I do finish my apprenticeship this week half of the students don't turn up anymore... You can tell they were enjoying it can't you.

Take care ~Justin~
