st john ambulance!

i'm off to my st john ambulance meeting later which i always look forward to every week. the only problem is all the forms that i'm constantly waiting to come through! i handed in my joining pack early november and i'm still waiting for my crb check to go through and my references to go through! i know that a crb check is always necessary but i'm only 16! and i can't go and help the public until everything's come through... i'm also a cadet which means that i intend to spend this evening covered in plasticine, makeup and fake blood while undertaking a casualty simulation! fun. ;)
