I think so yeah she was in a c wey (NAME) reckons she was in a coma

(laughter) how can any (unclear) called (NAME) reckon

but it would have cost loads to go to hospital and everything pay the hospital fees (interruption) and come over on a different plane

eeh I know

that's what that's what me and (NAME) were saying you know about (NAME) how she's not eating I'm saying 'God (interruption) she might start collapsing and stuff like that'

uh-huh I was telling (NAME) (interruption) and he was just going 'oh she'll be all right man really'

and and then (NAME) was going 'well what happens if she's got to go to hospital or something' (laughter) she says 'and then we'll have to pay all hospital (interruption) fees' because she couldn't get back come back until after

it's because she could get sun stroke

I know she's got to eat she's stupid (interruption) (unclear) I told her

I know (laughter) I want to go to pizza restaurants all the time and then get

I know

I hope they've got (pause) ehm chocolate cake

and I want to go in that big swimming pool place with all the slides

I (interruption) don't like the slides

did you see the (unclear) the (pause) Butlins place on the holiday programme

yeah (unclear)

I thought it was where we were (interruption) because the slides were identical

I know (unclear) I know uh-huh I thought eeh that looks dead like ours but they kept calling it Aqua Splash

I know they were the wrong way round as well (pause) (unclear) the slides in the wrong place and stuff

and you went down on mats

yeah (interruption) ah but that little kid who kept screaming

I know but they went down head first we weren't allowed to go down head first

must have been (unclear) (unclear)

and there was this little girl it was dead loud (unclear)

my dad was going 'oh God oh God' all the time

(laughter) I know

oh she was the one who screamed

I know oh right

(laughter)

but she wasn't allowed on the rapids because she's too small

that stupid man I would say none of the life guards were that old oh actually one of them was wasn't he

that was the one who told you you couldn't (laughter) (unclear) (laughter) oh that was horrible that dead evil (laughter)

when does next season start (pause) football

football I think it's the twentieth (pause) for the Premier (pause) League and thirteenth for the (pause) (interruption) First Division

oh I wanted it to start when they were still away because we'll be able to go

I know but

oh we were going to have their season tickets weren't we

oh yeah (NAME) hasn't even got one (unclear)

well he could have had (NAME)'s

oh yeah yeah

they're going with (NAME)'s dad you know

I know

(laughter) and then if (NAME)'s dad doesn't want to go (NAME)'s going to go instead

yeah (pause) the first one's an away match anyway

it's Leicester isn't it

yeah (pause) and then there's one Wednesday and then the first home one's next Saturday (pause) because they've got to finish building the stand

yeah but have you seen they've still got standing bits

did they get it because (unclear) get beaten

they're the only ones they're the only Premier (pause) club without them

because they they weren't going to be and they (pause) asked and then they are now

yeah I think so he said 'I bet I'm in the standing bit'

(laughter) but they had (interruption) seats last time didn't they

and I goes 'well why' I don't know

they'll probably get the same I'm sure they had seats they'll probably get the same ones

I says 'well why'

unless (interruption) they go in the new stand

I says (unclear) I thought you usually stood anyway because when you get excited you stand up (laughter)

(laughter)

he goes 'yeah but if you go in the standing bits (pause) if you don't get in early you don't get a good place and sometimes you don't get in at all' I goes 'well (interruption) that's not very fair'

eh you'd have to get in if you paid

I think he's lying really

(laughter) and apparently they'll be doing (pause) corner bits but not till next bit (pause) next season

God

it's (interruption) really stupid

I wish they'd hurry up it's took them ages

I know

mm

it looks dead huge like (pause) compared to the buildings around it it's dead tall

but I got really mad at him when he started going on about the gym I was telling (NAME) because I spoke to her last night (interruption) (unclear)

(NAME) was saying I should go because it's got loads of machines and it's dead good and they got told how to do everything (unclear)

oh yeah he ran a mile in seven minutes or something last time

oh yeah

wow great but ehm

(laughter)

I was telling (unclear) she goes 'oh it's probably just another little phase (pause) that they go through' because like I was saying 'what about your weights' he goes 'oh they're they're stupid man they're hopeless'

(laughter)

when you go 'they weren't hopeless when you shelled out all that money for them weren't they not'

I know I know I bought (NAME) his

but I mean how much is do you know how much it costs to go

it's apparently they paid three fifty because they had a man telling them how all the machines worked (laughter)

(laughter)

if you buy two pound fifty cards you can get in for one seventy five (pause) each time after that

God

(NAME)'s (interruption) going

so he's going to go three times a week and pay one seventy five every time he goes plus the two pound when he goes to football on Wednesday night

yeah

he's 'I'll probably not go every Thursday I can't afford it'

I'd ra I'd (pause) go during the day because it'll be dead empty

he reckons it doesn't open till seven o'clock or something

I think he's lying actually so you can see he can't go straight from work

I know that's what I was going he was going 'I think it opens at half six' I was like 'eh' I don't think he knows

(NAME) says it's open all day there was a woman's class the man's class and then apart from that it's open all the time for anyone

mm

unless he's got it wrong I (interruption) don't know

I don't know who's lying

(laughter)

no but I was saying to her 'I'll meet you afterwards' I says 'I'll come down and meet you' I says 'if you go at seven right go for about an hour and a half I'll come down and meet you at half eight' he says 'no that's the point just go to my house'

mm

(unclear) (unclear)

there's no football on (unclear) telly the night (pause) only highlights

is there not

no

is there any on Sky

I don't know because I haven't got Sky I don't look

he's probably lying again

well at least I when I looked in the paper before there wasn't any (pause) football (pause) on like matches

when's the highlights on later

I think ten past eleven or something on (pause) ITV

going to have to phone (NAME) when I get home and say I don't know if I can meet her or not (laughter) I'll meet her the morrow instead (pause) but I won't know (pause) until I speak to him when he gets in

yeah

then I'll have to phone her back (pause) about half six and then (unclear) arrange what's happening

(NAME)'s got an interview this afternoon at two and then

what for

eh (pause) a quantity surveyor (pause) thing you've got to get two A levels and then you (pause) do a degree (pause) he gets a BSc but I don't know for laing or someone you know big building people

oh yeah what was his interview like yesterday

(laughter) okay he said ehm (pause) (laughter) it was for a chef I can't believe he's going to do that there was three other people or something I don't know and ehm (pause) he just got showed round by (unclear) the second chef who was only nineteen

(unclear)

and the man who owns it was twenty two or something and he's got three other places and apparently this second one's only been working there a few weeks and he was on a hundred pounds and then he got up to two hundred and fifty or something

God

a week (pause) but you know the Castle Farm tennis it's in there you see and they're going to have the Northern Electric ehm tournament thing

oh uh-huh

so it's going to get dead busy that's why they're wanting more people or something but I don't know

mm

he'd be a bit hopeless since he can't even cook (laughter)

there's millions of chefs at my work there's loads of them there's loads of like big ones and then littler ones and lower ones

mm

ones who have to do all the stupid little bits

w when I was looking in the (pause) paper before about for the jobs and things

mm-hm

there's always someone wanting chefs and things

yeah I know I'd hate to be a chef

the thing is though they're dead unsociable hours

(unclear) I hate them some of them at my work they get really really annoyed because (pause) they always arrange everything dead perfectly when you have to put things on the plates like the salads and stuff so you're only allowed to put the four plates on your tray otherwise you squash them and they start screaming at you and stuff

(laughter)

it's like 'you touch it' and it really bugs us

(laughter) (unclear)

you know we've got to go up you've got we've got to have like (pause) twelve (pause) people so you need like twelve plates so you've got to go up and down three flights (interruption) of stairs

three times

three times (pause) to get them and they don't seem to understand that you can put another one on it and then carry another two in your hand but they won't let you (pause) they used to let you but now they've (pause) started being stupid (laughter) (unclear)

(laughter) (unclear) Masterchef if he had to cook anything like that he'd be hopeless

(laughter)

it's all dead fancy and

he'd be like (NAME)

I know I says (unclear) sort of recipes as (NAME) (laughter)

and (NAME) is dead easy all he has to do is like cut vegetables and all they do is heat up food they buy in the food they don't make it

oh (NAME) is dead lucky Tenerife

(unclear)

I wonder if he survived the plane

(laughter)

the flight

probably

he's stupid can't believe he was dead scared

I know and apparently (laughter) (NAME) said his mam was going mental because ehm he'd they'd had to go on like a (pause) car to on the car on the ferry to France and things like that

mm

if they'd ever wanted to go abroad on buses and things because he wouldn't fly and then as soon as he gets a chance not to go with them he's on the plane

(laughter)

it's like (NAME) last year apparently he was like holding two Mars bars he was that like tense when they were flying and things and he

mm-hm

he squashed them they all squirted out of the packets because (interruption) he was like

oh

dead tense I don't I don't know why people are scared of flying

no (NAME) says (NAME)'s scared as well because he's never flown before (pause) (NAME)'s scared because he had to think about him (interruption) dying

I think it's dead exciting I was I was saying to (NAME) the only time I when I was going to Majorca with my grandma and granddad I was frightened to fly because I thought the planes went upside down

(laughter)

(laughter) and I was only little so I didn't understand but I otherwise I think it's dead good

I was never scared when I went to Greece my ears didn't pop or anything I remember (NAME)'s ears (interruption) all popped

mine did a little bit eeh when we went to Spain

and she started f like sc screaming her head off

(unclear)

and crying and stuff

it was (NAME) (NAME) or someone like that was there someone called that in the l year below us

yeah uh-huh

in middle school and he was crying his head off with the pain

(laughter)

I c I thought eeh and I was the only one who had sucky sweets and so I had my Polos got handed round the aeroplane

God no (interruption) my ears never popped

I got dead upset when they ran out of those pens you know the pens you always buy Parker pens with the

(laughter)

aeroplane on I was going to buy everyone one and everyone ehm on the plane on the way back they'd sold out and I was dead upset

(laughter)

I couldn't (pause) get anymore presents

mm there was an advert in the paper for ehm it was Thompson's holidays or something and going to the Costa Brava it's three hundred and odd pound to go on the plane now (interruption) couldn't believe it

on the just the holidays for Majorca they had on the (pause) programme yesterday they were dead expensive

uh-huh Magaluf was r

self catering four hundred pounds

Magaluf was really expensive

(unclear)

it's because it's the most popular place this year

yeah it's dead weird how it changes

it doesn't look that good though I don't think it does

no

it's just because it's got a nigh good night life

nearly everyone we know who's going's not going I mean (pause) (NAME) was going to go wasn't she (unclear)

aye

why wasn't she

I don't know I just heard her say that she wasn't going on holiday anymore but all the lads from (pause) the Wirral (pause) they'll they'll be there now (pause) I don't think that (pause) (NAME)'s going with them he's going with other ones but he's going somewhere else (pause) in Majorca with a funny name but he'd I can't remember the name of the place where he's going

mm

so I was like 'oh right'

(laughter)

(unclear) and them from (unclear) are going to Magaluf

(NAME) and all them's supposed to be

oh my e e eye I've got something in my eye

(NAME) oh I told you (NAME)'s going for a job at Wilders or somewhere

mm-hm were you by yourself when you seen her

no (NAME) was on the bus I was on the other side and they were just (pause) chattering away I seen her (NAME) yesterday when I went to get the bus home she looked dead smart she had a ehm

yeah she did

black skirt on and a dead (pause) and a green thing a camisole top thing

yeah (pause) I seen her ehm you know where you get like the four hundred and that

yeah

down there

oh I was dead annoyed when I came

(unclear)

out of work last night I went to the shops because I was really thirsty to buy a bottle of Coke (pause) and I missed the four hundred and if I ha because there was a queue in the shop and if I hadn't (pause) bought anything I wouldn't have had to wait

(laughter)

so I had to wait for the twelve (pause) I was dead sick

(laughter)

can't believe (NAME) didn't finish till nine

I know like she phoned us and I says 'are you still at town' she went 'yeah'

I never seen I just seen her (interruption) when she went in then she goes down this other place I thought everyone did when I when she used to talk about it I thought everyone went to this other place then they started in Carlile House they don't she just goes by herself (pause) and she'd like to think she was she's not that been working there that long (unclear)

(unclear)

I know well there's other cleaners there as well from Northern Electric but from o our lot there's only (unclear)

I wonder if we should tell you know when we go on Wednesday to the (pause) McDonald's thing I wonder if sh we should tell them that we're going on holiday or will they not bother because if we tell them he might just say

well I was thinking (interruption) it had on the back of that the what's it called

what application form

application form that it had (pause) stuff about the check list and I'm sure that someone (unclear) your holidays and then (unclear) to say you tick it

mm-hm

so whether they'll say something and if they say you can't go on holiday or something we'll have to say something

I know (interruption) because then I could just

then I'll have given up my cleaning job so I'll not be able to have (unclear)

I'll not have a job at all

I know I'll be back on the

because it'll be too late for us to get one for two weeks before we go away (interruption) I'll have no money

I'll be on the (pause) dole again

but ehm (pause) I don't know I was thinking we could just work and then (pause) we could like the week before we go say that we'd booked a last minute holiday ehm

they'll kill we

so what

we'll see what they say on the training day (unclear) wonder if they'll give we uniforms (laughter) because my dad reckons we could do that and then say that we were only able to go because (pause) we got a job (unclear) that's the only way (interruption) we could afford to go

yeah I know what you mean

I feel dead mean on the cleaners I don't know what to say

oh they'll find someone else man

I know I just I don't know whether to say I've got another job or that I'm going away (pause) and I can't do anything about it

mm-hm

oh God I still need a suitcase I forgot to tell mam and dad about the ones in (unclear)

oh yeah they (unclear) fall to bits

I know actually I was thinking more ehm Argos are having a sale so I'll have a look in there

yeah (pause) yeah my mam was saying they've got to get new my mam and dad have got to get new suitcases I think to go away

well my mam and dad got new ones last year but they're (pause) on holiday the same time as me so I can't have them

I don't think (NAME)'s got a suit case either because his mam and dad need them for because they're going just

mm-hm

before he comes back

because everyone's going on the same time there's not enough suitcases

so he's going to have to get a new one

need them for going away anyway put all your stuff in

eeh God I don't want to (unclear) I don't want to go

(laughter)

I'm staying at home

we'll not get in anywhere (pause) I keep getting wrong for saying that all the time my mam and dad are always saying 'when you go away when you go away' I says 'what if I don't get to go away'

I know it's like sometimes I think oh I'll be away then but then I think no I'll not be

I know well it's like I've got a teapot from (NAME) and I keep thinking eeh when I'm away I'll be able to use my teapot and everything

mm-hm

and have all my nice little things in my room and so then I'll be dead lonely

and (NAME)'s driving test's the (pause) October the eighteenth (pause) or something right (laughter)

crikey it's years away

it's ages away (pause) that means he's been (pause) paying for lessons (pause) since a year past February

how's how's he taken so long

that's nearly like nearly two years

is it because there's a long waiting list or because he was waiting

I don't know

eeh

I don't know

when's has his (NAME) had another one yet

I don't think so well I wouldn't know

how many's she had three

two

two

this will be her third one but ehm I was thinking eeh God I'll be away then we'll not be able to even wish her good luck

I know

I was saying to him 'are you going to write to us' he goes 'no I never write letters'

(laughter)

thanks

oh dear I know I keep (NAME) keeps putting a big guilt trip on us

(laughter)

for going away

I keep putting a (pause) big guilt trip on him for being horrible and going to the gym all the time

(laughter)

and playing football (unclear)

eeh I was going to do so much this holiday (pause) do loads of exercise and everything

oh swim when we're on holiday (unclear)

before the holidays though

I'm going to (pause) eeh I don't know if we (unclear) we're going to be running around all the time so we'll get exercise

yeah I suppose (pause) still I I want to go swimming

so do I I want to do everything (unclear)

I still haven't got my bike sorted out

I didn't think (NAME) was going to go to aerobics tonight then when I spoke to her yesterday she wanted to go and I'd already arranged to go out with (NAME) and I was like oh no but now I want to go and see (NAME) (laughter)

(laughter)

oh dear then I thought (unclear) I could tell (NAME) that (pause) I might have to go to aerobics and then phone her back after I'd spoke to (NAME)

(laughter) oh it's dead confusing

and then (pause) I might go to (pause) aerobics with (NAME) next Wednesday instead I won't be able to go next Wednesday instead

you should go to the gym the morrow with them then

I won't be able to go next Wednesday I won't be able to go to aerobics next Wednesday because we're going to that thing (pause) until six o'clock

oh yeah that's the thing (interruption) as well

oh great and I can't go on Monday because if I go on Monday that means I won't see him (unclear)

well I've got to tell them that I'm leaving work right

mm-hm

this Thursday otherwise I won't get paid but then I don't know whether I'll finish on the Thursday or the Friday I want to finish on the Friday so I get more money but I have to say about the Wednesday that I can't I'll not be there till half six so if I want to do two and a half hours I'll not finish till nine

mm

that'll have been a horrible day three till nine (pause) six hours

I wonder what we'll do he said we're going to be watching videos and stuff (pause) on that day and filling in forms and doing paperwork and stuff

that that means we're going to have to be (pause) upstairs because and they'll have to shut it upstairs

God I hope (NAME)'s not there I'm sure

he will be

(NAME) said (NAME) was going on a different day I'm sure she said the ehm the fourth or something like that

mm

I'm sure it was a different day because they might be on two separate days

I wonder how many there's going to be there

well

I'm sure they've took on more than sixty

I think they've got a more than sixty yeah

more like a hundred

unless they've turned a lot of people down earlier

I know

because we were last and I'd have thought he wouldn't have took we on unless he really wanted to

yeah

because there'll have been loads of other people but he did

but (NAME) was going on the Friday

eeh I wonder if he got a job oh no I can't stand working (interruption) with him

it'll be dead routine

we're never going to get away from him you know

I know

I was telling (NAME) he was going 'ah you're going to have to put up with (NAME) again' I says 'I'll just argue with him' (unclear)

throw hamburgers at him

(laughter) (pause) he's one person who I love arguing with (pause) because he really bugs us

I know

I find it so easy to argue with him (pause) (unclear) going to be working there too (unclear)

where'd she go on Friday

eeh I don't know (unclear)

I hope you've got the right date because I (pause) wasn't really listening

eeh I know

when he told us because I thought oh (NAME)'s got it written down what if he told me to go on a different day

he wouldn't have told you to go on a different day man (laughter)

(laughter)

we could ph I was thinking we could phone him

phone

McDonald's in Grainger Street

why

and check that that it is the right day

mm (laughter) I don't know or we just go and see

(laughter) yeah if we d if we'd (pause) go on the wrong day we'll

I know but they'll think we're dead thick if we haven't remembered

should phone (NAME) (NAME) (NAME) and ask her

yeah

not that I know her phone number I'd feel really stupid phoning her

mm that was it (NAME) on the bus she was going went past McDonald's and she goes 'oh that's going to be a new McDonald's' and then ages ago (pause) like after she was she was asking how long I'd been cleaning and then I was saying (pause) and some w for some reason I said something about oh working at McDonald's and she goes 'you working at McDonald's?' and I goes 'oh yeah the new thing' and she goes 'oh thanks for telling me about all these job opportunities' I'm thinking 'well (NAME) you've got a full time job what do you want doing working in McDonald's?' and then she and she

(unclear) isn't it

and she was going (pause) well I still think it'd probably be better than working in McDonald's

yeah

because she's getting at least I don't know it's a different kind of experience what do you do

mm

after you know how to make chips

(laughter)

(laughter) I mean

(laughter)

but she was going to work in the this pub as well at night time so

oh on the quay or something that's what she was saying when we were out last week

so I don't know

oh she (interruption) going to come out on Saturday though I don't want her to c

and then and then she told us she knew she knew because ehm (NAME) goes 'well (NAME)'s working there' she goes 'oh yeah yeah I knew that I just forgot'

you could ask (NAME) what day (NAME)'s going just to make sure

but he doesn't go on a different day

I know well just in case (unclear)

and then you'll get confused but is (unclear) going to go out on Saturday

I don't know (pause) well (NAME) says she said she'd phone her but she didn't phone her (interruption) she was just going out

there'll just be a riots

it'll be really amazing if (unclear) go out

I know it would (pause) liven the night up (laughter)

but I don't want to go I can't afford to go my mam was going 'well just tell her (pause) you haven't got any money tell her (interruption) you can't go'

uh-huh but it's she's (unclear) I mean it was like the other week she goes 'are yous coming out for my birthday' and like she was saying it as if (pause) so we couldn't say 'no'

mm-hm

because I was I don't know I'd feel dead mean

well so would I but I still don't want to go (laughter)

I know

I'm not going all night

no no way

and I'm not I'll go (pause) home the on the quarter past eleven bus

(laughter)

it's like when I when I found out that I meant to have been seeing him tomorrow night I says 'oh right so I'll see you on Monday and the next time I see you's on Sunday then'

mm

he goes 'well I'll see you on Saturday' I says 'I can't'

no

'I've told you I'm going out' he makes this big deal of it 'well you're going out on Saturday' you know the one night out (unclear) if I arrange to do anything

and it's simply because we want to

I know

I forgot to tell her to ask (NAME) about The Cooperage

oh no they're not going anymore

are they not

(NAME) doesn't want to go (NAME) won't go

so they're not none of them are going because he won't?

well (NAME) wants to go and then but (NAME) doesn't want to go if only him him and (NAME) are going

so why won't the others go

well he just doesn't want to go

(unclear) (unclear) (laughter)

(laughter) (unclear) just doesn't want to go

I missed out myself

ehm (pause) (unclear) (interruption) because I'd said to (NAME) I'd said

because it'll be dead boring

'oh (NAME)'ll probably go if you go you know if yous go'

I hate him

and ehm

just seen him

and then last night he goes (pause) (unclear) he was going on about the gym and everything I was in a really bad mood he goes 'oh I've got another bit of bad news for you as well' I was like 'oh God what' he goes 'we're not going to The Cooperage' I went 'why' he goes 'because they don't want to go' I was saying 'well can you and (NAME) not go' no he doesn't want to go if there's just two of we' I says 'well why it's not as if I'm going to be with you all night' (unclear)

to go with but if he'll have to go by himself anyway

I know

he can't have someone holding his hand

it really bugs me I was like 'oh God' they talk about us not doing anything without each other (pause) you know if they got ju

yeah

not just two of them could go every every one of them has to go

I know I know

I mean what was there was (NAME) (pause) (NAME) (NAME) (NAME) (NAME)

yeah

all went I mean (laughter) it's like I was going 'are you coming into town tomorrow' 'oh we'll have to ask everyone' have a day out

I know

they can't do anything without all of them going it really bugs us

I know the only reason they have (pause) in the holidays is because of (unclear) work

I know otherwise they'd be attached to each other

(laughter)

as they are every Saturday and Sunday

oh dear and then I get wrong for not having any sporting activities (laughter) for not playing football (pause) not going out and doing things

oh (unclear) I was going to say we could have gone to aerobics on Sunday but you (pause) go out (pause) in the morning when aerobics is on

is it on in the morning

I think so I don't know

oh couldn't handle that if we were out on a sun Saturday night

oh I don't know actually I don't (unclear) it is but

is there any during the day or are they all at night

I don't know I think it's during the day sometime

I could go during the day

it's not at night because that's what I was thinking that'd be dead handy (pause) because I get dead bored on Sundays

is (unclear) during the day during the week

I've got a thing upstairs I'll have a look later

I don't know (pause) oh I can't be bothered to go to town again (pause) today I'm sick of the place

you might find your shoes

oh I forgot to tell you I went to Dolcis after I I left you right I went to State Of Independence to see if they had the shoes and they didn't have them (pause) but they only had the boots which really annoyed me

the cream ones

yeah so then I went to Dolcis and (pause) you know the the shoe versions of the boots that I got

yeah I think so

right I says 'can I try (interruption) a pair of them on in a size five' she goes 'oh I haven't got them in a size five' I says 'well have you got the other ones in a size five' they're just normal plain cream ones fifty pound though right and she goes 'oh yeah I'll just get them for you' so I tried them on and they were a bit too small for us I says 'can I try a size six on' 'oh we haven't got them in a size six'

(unclear)

I says 'well have you got the other ones in a size six' she goes 'yeah' so she brought us them they were too big for us

(laughter)

I thought oh crikey I'm never going to get them you know I'm not I don't think (unclear) get them

I was thinking that I might get blue blue ones because I've got loads of blue things now cream and blue

you see I think they're better

and they'll go better with my

black things

blue shorts and black (pause) ones (unclear)

see if if I can't get them today I think I might just give up and buy a pair of black ones (pause) and then get a pair of coloured ones for just during the day (unclear)

I think I like blue because green'll not go with anything I've got

mm well red doesn't go with anything I want but anything I've got but I still like those (unclear)

I know well that's I like the green ones but (pause) the blue ones'll go more with things

mm-hm I don't know my things (interruption) are all different colours you see

but I like red well I suppose mine are all different things but

like I've got a pale colour you see I want the cream ones (unclear)

if they're if they're a sort of like diff all different colours I'd wear black

mm-hm

but if I'm wearing lots of blue I don't want to wear black

but you know I want cream ones because

I'm going to get blue ones

because I've got the cream skirt and I can't wear red or black with my cream skirt well I could

mm

but I don't want to

I going to have to get the blue ones in Dolcis for fifteen pounds because (pause) in Schuh (pause) the ones I liked in there were thirty six and

oh

that's just ridiculous for a pair of sand shoes

I want the ones oh I'm just dead annoyed

because I don't know they didn't have any of the other ones I don't think in a nice blue

well they had the cream (pause) sole

mm-hm

but that'll get dirty (laughter) I don't know

oh I'm so annoyed I can't find what I want

I've I keep thinking I've got to make a list of everything I've got to (pause) (interruption) (unclear)

I've made lists I've lost them (laughter)

(laughter)

they're in a book and I've lost the book

I had made lists whe when I was doing the exams of what I was going to do and I've ticked some things off but I haven't done any of the (pause) like fitness things that I was going to do (interruption) at all

mm-hm

and I haven't (pause) done something else (unclear)

I was going to go jogging every day I've been and I wasn't really jogging (unclear) (laughter)

yeah (NAME) said (pause) she goes 'did you hear I went jogging' she goes 'yeah'

of course you'd have heard she's going to me 'will you speak to (NAME) today' I'm going 'well yeah' (pause) (unclear)

I hate the way she's got no accent

and ehm I says 'uh-huh' I says (unclear) going to the Metrocentre

I told her that (pause) as well so

I was like 'go away (NAME)'

(NAME) said she was going to town with (NAME)

she's a little cling on

did (NAME) buy anything

a checkie shirt or something and those jeans

oh yeah I need some new jeans

I don't

I've got mine (pause) I need a new boyfriend I hate mine (laughter)

(laughter)

eeh and I don't know (unclear) (pause) he's mad and I want to go (unclear) football or something are you too embarrassed because all you friends are there or something he was going 'no' I know that's what it is I just told him 'I'm going to meet you from work' (unclear) and he goes 'no (NAME)'ll be with us he'll laugh at you he'll pick on you' I says '(NAME) would never dare laugh at' (unclear) (laughter)

(unclear) I know he's too quiet he'll probably just go red and (pause) not say anything (laughter)

I don't know

(NAME)'s just dead quiet though mm

(unclear) he wanted a sun bed

(laughter)

(laughter) that is really funny

he's getting a skinhead as well you know

oh dear (pause) eeh I'm dead hungry I knew I was going to rumble then (laughter)

I want a su I wouldn't mind a sun bed

I wouldn't mind a sun bed

(unclear)

I've caught the sun look look look look I'm a bit red

(laughter) wow

(laughter) and on my arms as well a little bit

(NAME) had been on it she totally burnt here it was really pink

on a sun bed

(laughter)

I'm dead sick I'll not be able to do anything I wanted to

I bet you I forget my references or something and they just say you can't work

yeah

because I I can not get in touch with my boss (pause) to get one I think I'll just get my auntie (NAME) to write one for us because she's like she's sort of like a (pause) a big

I don't know who to ask

head waitress kind of thing

mm-hm I don't know who to ask at work

because he didn't s he didn't specify though didn't he not

I know

two main references

he just said she's two main references I says 'well (pause) is one from school okay' and he goes (pause) 'mm-hm' because I says 'I'm not going back to Harry Ramsden's'

(unclear)

I think if we've written down where we worked they should like I know

phone

but I feel I feel dead cheeky though phoning (NAME) and going (pause) 'can I have a reference because I'm getting another job' because he might think (pause) I mean he knows it's only Saturdays so they know that you're not going to work there on a Saturday with mine it's all like like irregular you know what I mean they only just phone us up and ask us to work that (pause) he might think that I'm not going to go back and work there anymore and they (interruption) mightn't ask us to work anymore

mm (pause) yeah

because that's what (pause) they're like sometimes but then other t other times (pause) people have jobs

I mean if I ask (NAME) she'll get all flustered at work and she's got really bad arthritis and it'll take her ages to write

mm-hm

she couldn't but then I don't want to ask Mrs (NAME) because she'll she always goes 'ho ho ho'

(laughter)

and (pause) laughs all the time oh dear I don't know I might just (pause) say (NAME) (unclear) you do it

I just feel really really stupid phoning ehm work and asking for it though

mm

I think they might be a bit he might be a bit off if I do that so I think I'll just get my auntie (NAME) to write us one (pause) because she's sort of like a head waitress (pause) and she trained us (interruption) so she knows what I'm like

I wonder if they'll check up on them

I don't know li he I'll just say to him (pause) I couldn't get in contact with my boss but I'll give him the ehm (pause)

number

phone number and the address or something (pause) so he can get in contact with him if he wants to (interruption) she's never hardly ever there

(unclear) what can he write for them though I mean like (unclear)

I know

I thought it was all right but (pause) I don't know

that mean that means you could get your mam to write one and pretend she was someone else

I know

you know what I mean

it's daft (pause) and she'd been dead technical 'they're not references them they're testimonials'

oh she thinks she knows everything

(laughter)

she really bugs us (pause) I'm glad we got rid of (unclear)

oh and she was asking us what if I was going on holiday and I was saying 'oh yeah going with ' (NAME) (unclear) standing there and I felt dead bad

mm-hm
