Dearest Aoife, It won't be long now until you 're home. I am really looking forward to seeing you. The Christmas lights were turned on, on Thursday night and it will be no time until Christmas. It is really annoying seeing the town so packed. I am glad to hear you are coping with all the partying so well. Life will seem so dull here by the time you come home.

It is Saturday morning and I am just waiting around until I go to collect Luke from music. So much of a lie in (NOT!). Anything is better than 7am I suppose. I am just entering into my fifth week. The first two weeks were very shaky but I have settled in well now. This week was so hectic and it will be until Christmas. I have an interview on Wednesday for a trainee manager in Tecno, it sells camera and audio equipment. They have shops all around the UK. I don't think I would be too fussed, but the interview will be good experience and I will see what the pay would be like. I really would like the trainee manager position with Next. The pay is really good, training at £ 14,000. That would pay for a good few summer holidays.
I would love to get away for a while at the moment. We were (the 5 girls that is) suppossed

to be going to Cushendall this weekend but Jane has to work tonight. We are definitely going next Saturday afternoon and coming home on Sunday evening. I am being a marshall next Saturday morning at a big fun run in town. One of the girls on the course is organising it as part of her placement and has recruited all of us to wear yellow bibs.
I went to the cinema last night with SJ and Jane after having a row with Leonard on the phone. We went out on Tuesday night and arranged to go out somewhere on Thursday. I phoned on Thursday night and was told by Brendan (the one in the house that Jane tackled) that he was away home to Armagh. I was raging, he didn't even have the courtesy to phone. This was after him sending me a mushy letter to work on Tuesday. He phoned last night at about 6.30 and was out with his friends. He had the cheek to say at the end of the phone call 'Are you in a bad mood'. He couldn't even see what he had done wrong - and I thought he might be different. He said he will phone me on Sunday. I hope he had a shitty night last night. Well enough of that, I will start getting angry again.

Oh by the way Morgan Matthews phoned me on Sunday, I 'm seeing him this Monday night at the class rep meeting - I 'll keep you posted about that one.

How is Victor, still as gorgeous as ever. You never know, perhaps you will get a snog before you come home for Christmas. I better go here and run my Mum into town - she's starting her Christmas shopping (MAD!!).

Miss you loads, lots of love Leah xoxo
