Im happy coz my diet is going well... and ive just started Zumba classes (dancey exercise) which is great fun and makes me feel dead good.

Also happy as ive been job hunting, and I've found a fair few jobs in Manchester to apply for to get started with :P

Have you tried BodyJam? As the most uncoordinated person in the world I only stumbled upon it because one of my other classes was cancelled, but I absolutely LOVE it! It's dancey too and totally addictive.

Happy? I finally have a job I really enjoy and no longer have Sunday night dread, my personal life is pretty darn great, and I managed 4km yesterday in my first run since August :P

Haha - that's a bit scary :P I only did it for 8 months and found it quite frustrating quite quickly. There are similar jobs that are potentially more rewarding, like family support worker, although any working with kids and parents can be infuriating. You've done some before though haven't you? I've moved out of working with families to working behind the scenes, hence why I love it so much! :P

Ha, promise im not stalking you! It was the avatar i spotted first, then realised it was you!

Aaah i thot u still did that job! What r u doing now then?

I currently work as a transition worker for 16-25 year olds, but id prefer to be working with a younger age group. Ive just applied for a few jobs as development/outreach officer in sure start childrens centres in the manchester area. I initially planned to go into teaching, coz i wasnt really sure what else to do with my degree but been put off that idea now, the TES forums are a bit of a reality check when u begin to think of teaching as your ideal career!!

I work for Children's Services on the planning/strategy side. Sure Start centres do amazing work - I'd love to join one if I ever went back into working with families. TES really is a reality check, although people obviously don't moan when things are going well! What's your degree in?

I have a BA in Educational Studies. Started off as a BEd but due to personal circumstances, i didnt finish my final teaching placement. Thought about going back recently to do PGCE but i had second thoughts at last minute!

I dont really know that much about sure start centres tbh but ive been reading up on them over past couple of weeks to help me fill in my application forms and *fingers crossed* if i get an interview!

    • Rotten communication. Actually god awful. Posting sporadically on IG, closing Mordor only to reopen and cause some serious carnage. Left the festival as it got too much for my 16year old daughter. She was devastated about Alex G and Mac…but TV girl could have saved it. Took us until 1220 and already home to find out they might/are playing. Pish.    and on another note, this festival has lost its bastard soul. Gone are the wee tents with local sellers selling vinyl, t shirts etc, now you can buy a 50 f**king eur official T-shirt. The ar*e is truely out of this event now. I went to Porto for the first time last year and it was fab. I love Barcelona and the line up is always stacked, but this festival is a corporate loss take. Hopefully a better day tomorrow.
    • f**king horrendous and seems they couldn’t run an egg and spoon race.  zero info and the crush waiting to get in to see Massive Attack was potentially disasterous. Zero info, no stewards at all and was told that the whole evening was cancelled, when we got to the exit. Because it rained. First time attendee and i’ve got onsay, i’m far from impressed. Scalping bastard taxis asking €37 plus for an €11 fare too. Wonderdul.
    • Rumours are it's called The Lost Tour. In the US in September. Ireland in November (so UK+Europe a good bet around November/early December). 
    • Hey guys, is there a group going for any solo y not goers this year?? I couldn’t miss out once I saw the acts but it’s just me and would be great to meet some others:))
    • After deciding to abandon the festival, here's a few of my thoughts (mostly negative tbf).    On the positive side - was it just me or were there a few more urinals than last year? Seemed to help the queues at the loos a bit from what i saw. Plus they had at least had some foresight and had a few more covered areas in the VIP areas.    Now on the negatives.  The weather was admittedly pretty crap but it wasn't apocalyptic. How the actual f**k are bits of the main stage falling off in those conditions?  Then the communication was awful, there's a load of people who left the site because they were told by security guards/other personnel that there would be no more acts on the main stage this evening.  You have an app Primavera, use it! Yes, there's a shitload going on I'm sure but communication with the festivalgoers should be one of the top priorities. You failed.    And I'm not usually somebody who buys into the whole "oh this is hugely unsafe and it's lucky people weren't hurt" narrative, but all the above led to movements of people that were genuinely unsafe.  Evacuating Mordor entirely (again... Why???) and then having a horde of people trying to get in because they thought they were going to Massive Attack was insane.  And given a lot of people basically abandoned ship around 10.30pm the crush at both the exit to the festival and the entrance to the Metro was pretty dangerous.   Conditions happen, most people will get that....but the contingencies have to be better.
