Friends

Just reading my mates blogs this morning, and I didnt realise how unhappy one of them was. I feel really bad... I should of been a better friend. And all iv been doing is moaning about how crap one of my friends is, and I myself could be a better friend. As from today im not going to moan about my old friend anymore.. and im going to be a better friend to all my others!! I have some pretty good mates and I consider myself to be pretty lucky in that respect.

So im sorry if iv been crap, im going to make more effort from now on.

Todays not going to be a good day

First things first, I thought I was okay this morning, I didn’t feel too hungover…. But I made myself a tea instead of a coffee and I always have coffee in the morning. Something’s not right there is it????

Anyway last night - got picked up by the friend I was telling you about, who is also having problems with the “friend” (we’ll call her Lucy – cause that’s not her name!) . Turning up together would annoy HER, but fortunately nothing was said – There were 5 of us in total - let the drinking commence!!

I noticed immediately that she was wearing the jewellery I got her for her birthday, and I asked her what else she got. She said her mum brought her some PJ’s as well as me… and she couldn’t wait to say “my mum’s were from primark too” 1-0 to her. I turned round to “Lucy” and said “yeah these PJ’s had a picture of a cow on them” Subtle 1-1 ha ha I will win!!!

Pretty much all night she didn’t talk to me, and actually didn’t dance with me, you know how you do? She was all over Lucy though! Keeping talking to her about friends from work, and her fella. The most conversation I got was her showing me a picture on her phone. Totally snubbed me basically. Im not one to sulk (much) so I carried on drinking and generally taking in the atmosphere.

We moved round some pubs saw a few people I know which is always good. Pretty early on one of the girls left as she was at work the next day. Things were going pretty steady. Went to the club (not my choice, but im not complaining, it was after all her night). Got some drinks… and Lucy decided to treat us all to come champagne which was a lovely thought. I declined though as im not supposed to drink anything strong, and also the last time I had champagne was my birthday and I was sick, so she got 3 little bottles and a bottle of magners for me (I think I must of drank my body weight in magners - LUSH)!!!



So we stood on the dance floor having a bop and they were drinking this champagne…
When they’d finished I offered to get HER a birthday drink and the reply I got was “no no you save your money for the house” 2-1 so instead of taking offence I thought “yeah iv saved myself a few quid there – who’s the real loser” 2-2

I was dancing with one of Lucy’s friends and I moved away from the group slightly, funny as I was having a better time elsewhere! Just as luck would have it as the music got good we went home. Okay so it was about 1.30 so not exactly early. I said bye to my mates and we toddled off out. I wanted chips and so did Lucy so the others went to get pizza. Lucy tried to be silly and pay for her own chips, but she’d brought me a fair few drinks, and so I insisted on paying (im only mentioning this to highlight the fact that I like to pay my way - im sure I mentioned in a previous blog that this friend made me feel quite poor - not that im unhappy about my financial situation as money’s money, you either have it or not, your no better than someone if you have it than someone who doesn’t)

ANYWAY!!! So after we got the chips we went to meet the others in the pizza shop. We sat munching for a while and then went to get a taxi. I was instructed to get in the front as I was the first drop off. Well got outside my house and the taxi was £4.90. Lucy immediately said not to pay it all (like I wouldn’t) and sort of half heartily the other 2 said “oh yeah, don’t pay it all” they couldn’t of said it less enthusiastically. One of them actually said “I wish it was only £4.90 to my house” lol I was like “yeah? I think it’s expensive to say im in walking distance of town” anyway, I paid the £4.90 and said bye slamming the door behind me.

Got in the house and got a text from Lucy saying that when the taxi driver dropped them off our “friend” only paid £3. lol so much for being loaded hey?

Im sure there is stuff im forgetting to put
1 – PJ’s comment - check
2 – Drink comment - check
3 – Taxi comment - check

Nope I think that’s all. Well if I remember anything I’ll let you know.

I really doubt now that I will hear anything from my friend again, only probably when she moved into her house in “berry hill” which is in fact Mansfield…. Lol hilarious..

Anyway.. Ciao for now, im going to get some hangover food!!! Yummy!!

Oh and first thing this morning I opened my post and had a letter from the doctors saying I was due for a smear! I don’t think its going to be a good day!!

Snobby kids

Taken from a discussion on Maxxd forums the more I think about spoilt little kids at this time of year it irritates me.

I believe that all the real Christmas spirit has been ruined by mardy spoilt little kids. When I was younger I was lucky if I got a bike OR games console (back in the days of Master System & Mega Drives) not both! And certainly not PC’s, Laptops, endless games and consoles year in year out (xbox one year DS the next). I think kids these days are spoilt too much, and it’s the parents fault. Allowing their kids to act like little brats is quite frankly appalling!

I can understand that parents want the best for their kids and buying them nice presents will make them happy. But there is a limit between nice and over the top. I think kids should be grateful for what they are given, not annoyed at what they aren’t given. I would have never had the nerve to EXPECT loads of presents, and was always genuinely surprised when my parents brought me something fabulous, but to expect this year in year out is wrong. To allow your children to act like this is shocking, and it’s the parent’s responsibility to bring their kids up proper with manners and RESPCT.

What kind of adults are all these kids going to turn into? Nasty snidey snobby teenagers with attitude problems if they don’t get the right designer clothes (I see kids in town dressed in more expensive clothes than me), dripping in the latest technology. They don’t know the value of money which I think is terrible.

Mobile phones are another topic of annoyance for me… why the hell do parents buy their kids mobile phones at young ages, and insist on keeping them in credit??? I don’t want to hear no bull about it’s so the parents know where their kids are cause its bollocks. My mum and dad let me out without a mobile phone, the streets were just as dangerous when I was young as what they are now – it’s just that paedophiles are more publicised now. God forbid should a teenage run out of credit on said mobile phone… what the hell are they spending their pocket money on?! And surely the child is more at danger as they are more attractive to a mugger with an ipod and latest mobile phone hanging round their ungrateful little necks.

Having one big present a year never did me any harm, and quite frankly I enjoy working hard for my nice things, and I will appreciate things more because of the hard work that’s gone into achieving them.

These are of course all my own opinions, I know everyone won’t agree with me, although they will be the people that are getting their kids a laptop and an Xbox this year (and an Ipod off their gran)

Busy day

What a busy day I’ve had today! We’ve finally got our budget review work sorted and my supervisor went off to the meeting with Finance earlier (that’s a load off my mind… perhaps things at work will calm down now).

My Supervisors has been really pleased with my work of late, and I think I may of said before I’m showing 2 members of staff what to do at the mo, well anyway she said today she’s really pleased with me, and all the hard work I do (couldn’t cope without me blah blah) and even though iv agreed with my team of 4 that I’m not getting xmas presents this year so don’t want any back, she’s going to get me a little something which is just to say thanks. How cool is that?!! She’s picked me out some underware so just wanted to know my size, its gorge too! I’m exited! Really nice cause its personal too, and were are close.

I was supposed to be meeting my Friend Kate for a drink tonight, but she’s been unwell so we’ve rescheduled for tomorrow, so im seeing Carl. I’m getting my hair dyed tomorrow! Might post a pic if it looks any good, should be loads darker.

Came home from work today and my mammar's brought me a brolly, and my granddad has asked my mum if im well (as i seemed thin) i havent seen my grandparents for a while, but its nice to know they think about me. Pretty normal you migt assume, but my other gran is pretty selfish, so im a happy bunny!

Clothes make me happy

I love getting new clothes!

Ages ago a lady came to work in the most stunning dress, I asked her where she got it from and she said "New Look in Newark, it was on sale £5 - shall I get you one next time I go?" of course I said yes (well id be stupid not to) and today she brought it in for me (I totally forgot about it until this morning) Excellent! love it, its proper lush!! look!!! (the pic is crap but iv been pissing about with my webcam this evening)













I



also brought some new shoes to go with it, yes, yes im skint but im unhappy so i needed cheering up! ha ha and they were only £11 from additions online







I had to stop myself buying these though - how funky!





I think i have a problem dont you??

No good mates

Well what a fucking fiasco! I really dont know why I bother trying to be nice to some people!!!! My so called mate that I have been having problems with recently has completely fucked me off big time.... and if I hadnt of got a new outfit to go out in, I wouldnt be bothering going out for her birthday.

I text her first thing yesterday morning to try to arrange going up to give her ber birthday present in time for today. Well she seemed to think that visiting her fellas parents was more important than coming to see her so called friend, so at 11.30 she turns up at my house.

The first thing i say is "oh.. on your own?" expecting her to be with her fella. "no" she says "he's out in the car", puzzled I look at her and say "arent you stopping"? "yes she replies He's going to read his paper in the car". Now I dont think its just me but this seems rather odd dont you think? So I tell her to get him to come in and i'll make him a drink "no he's okay honest he's reading his paper" I think this is realy ignorant of him but balls to him I lead her into the living room.

Sure enough after about 5 or 6 mins she says "i'd better get off". "Yes" I reply "oh and by the way and im not getting you anything for Christmas im too skint" is all i can say to stop myself bitch slapping her there and then!

I cant beleive that after all the though and effort I put into getting her a nice present, she a) blatently came round to collect it from me (minimal chit chat involved) and b) her fella was that ignorant to sit in the car! And you know what!?? ON my birthday this year her and her fella came round to mine as sat with me for hours while I made them endless cups of tea when all i wanted to do was sleep cause i was hanging!!! how fucking rude!

Im not being taken for a C*nt no more I tell you.... Iv been talking to a friend of hers who is also having some problems and she had a nightmare with her at the weekend too! I realy really hate the fact tha she's not interested in being our friends anymore after all these years, the only explanation being that she now has a fella. Im not a nasty person, but iv got to the point now where i cant wait for the day it all come crashing down cause she'll realise then that she cant act like she has been doing. Everyone knows not to ditch your mates for a fella surely???

Roll on Friday is all I can say, lets hope I get pissed enough to tell her exactly how I feel

Apology letter

Went out for a nice meal last night with the girls from college to thw Widecome. My mate who I havent heard from is part of that group but couldnt make it. Usually I would of attempted to re-arrange when everyone could make it, but thought better of that this time! Anyway, i did something which i never do when i eat out - have 3 courses!!!! I just kept thinking of all the calories!!!! lol was rather full but battled on! (are you proud?)

Got home about 11.30 ish and made myself a cuppa and played on the net for a bit. I was peturbed to find that no one was online (how shit is everyone) so i ended up going to sleep (boring).

Woke up late this morning and had a md dash to get to the post office to post a parcel before they shut. I was pleased to discover a letter from the Holiday Inn, apologising for the crapness that we experienced! Shame i didnt get any money back but a letter of aplogy is still cool (not £170 odd cool, but cool all the same).

Im off shopping with Jay this afternoon, want to pick up a black top for Friday night. Im out with my so called "mate" for her birthday, and if im doing to have a crap time im going to do it looking fabulous I tell you!!!!

I also want to jazz up my blog later, i chose a new lay-out last night, but i want the same sort of thing and Fiona and Wiggy where at the top they have tabs to different pages... so guys if you can tell me how you did that id be well chuffed, as i want to include an online food-diray and maybe some pictures??

PS im also struggling with titles for my blogs...

Bulk-Up

Not a lot has happened since Wednesday any my most imaginative titled blog. I went to the docs Wednesday night for my “weigh in” - I haven’t lost any more weight which is good, but I actually haven’t put any on either which is a pain in the ass. He said he’s not too concerned as I haven’t lost more but I need to put about 12lb on to be an ideal healthy weight as at the mo I’m at the lower end of “normal” whatever normal is (to me its about 7 ½ stone) SO! The plan is to keep my diet as it is, as it’s rather healthy and I’m eating a fair bit (including snacking constantly between meals). He says I need 3 main meals a day with 2 additional massive calorie intakes. Which, as he advised I should perhaps think about getting some high-fat, high-calorie luxury yoghurts, were talking like 300/400 calories a time. I also think im going to get some build-up complan to help increase my calorie intake, then the idea is when I increase in weight and get to how I want, I take out the bog doses of calories and I’m back to eating my normal healthy meals.

I cant physically eat any more food than I am, as I’m always eating while I’m at work… and I’m just not hungry anymore (yet I still eat) the awkward thing is that because I have IBS I cant just sit and binge on say chocolate as it will make me poorly. We’ll see how the yoghurts go! I’m to weigh myself every week, and I’m going to keep it logged in a diary. I’m also going to keep a food diary, perhaps online if I can work out how to do it, as it’s the easiest way to update it then, as I’m online at work every day.

Im having a pizza Saturday night, I'll make sure I order garlic bread too!!!

Wednesday

Well yesterday was a lot better day than I usually have on a Tuesday, the main reason for this is because my supervisor has decided that she is going to change her day off so I’m not in on my own. That’s made it I little easier for me now as I have previously been managing 4 phones and a door on my own as well as doing my work and other stuff that came in “urgent” for the other 3 members of the team in their absence. So its all gravy now after a few weeks of hell.

Went to the Talbot for a short while last night, mainly to see Jay as I aint seen him for ages. Fiona invited me to ED and I was going to go, but I really wanted to catch up with Jay, left there about 9.30 and went back to mine with Carl. Watched “Monster” which I thought was really good. I think the acting was superb. I cried too!!

Mum’s brought me some vests!! Ha ha how funny! She’s told me I’v got to wear them all the time as I’m always complaining that I’m cold. I don’t see why she just can’t turn the heat up at home but she says her and my dad are just right with the heating. I think I’m feeling the cold more cause iv lost so much weight, and I haven’t got as much flesh to keep me warm anymore! So vests it is!! Hilarious! What’s even more funny is she got me age 12-13 and they fit! (they aren’t like kiddy vests they are just like vest-tops for the record) although I did suggest perhaps a crop top! LOVE IT – I can just see Carl’s face now!!!

Tonight iv booked a docs appointment so he can check my weight after iv quit smoking (its been 5 weeks now) so I’ll see what he says. Me and Carl are then doing something for tea 9not sure what) and I imagine we’ll play at his house as I aint seen the dogs for a while.

Until next time….

one last thing....

Thanks to Fions for briefly talking it through with me, and her comment on my other post i hav cancelled Wednesdays interview, and feel a little less stressed about things now. Iv got a lot on at work this week, and I really need to book a doc's appointment.

Oh... 2 more things...

1 - I saw a shop today called "big baps" tee hee

2 - My mum's put her PJ top on inside out.. and the funny thing is it buttons up - so how the hell didnt she notice??? she said her coller felt funny.

Daft mare!

Waste of petrol

What a lovely company Burks Green was, and the interview went really well. BUT it’s not at all what I want. The job is a little basic for me, im looking for more management accounts rather than sales ledger, and there wasn’t any room for progression. I will be surprised if they don’t offer me the job, as I was sparkling in the interview even if I do say so myself, it’s just that I will be turning them down. I have realised one thing though… how much I miss driving… even though today its been Newark which is a little far, I really enjoyed the drive there and back, pretty stress free (if you discount a couple of tractors and a lorry) but it wasn’t stressy driving like Wednesdays interview at Nottingham will be. I still know I don’t want that job… fingers crossed them at Broxtowe council want me then hey? Its closes on Friday so I should head next week.

Anyway… tonight im going to chill out iv changed into my joggy bottoms already and am about to see what’s on the TV later (I think Vincent finished last week) but maybe Wiggy will be on the net as usual for my Monday night in (Carl’s at his guitar lesson).

Think im going to have crispy pancakes, super noodles and veg for my tea.

Interviews interviews

Im shattered today…. Might have something to do with the fact that I was at Chelle’s till about midnight last night, we were just chatting away! I didn’t think we’d be nattering till that late but we were, and I had a great time!

What a busy week iv got ahead of me. Tomorrow afternoon iv got an interview at Burks Green www.burksgreen.co.uk in Newark. The jobs for an Assistant Accounts manage. We went for a drive out there this afternoon to find the place so I know where im going tomorrow. It’s really easy to get to, it’s just BORING! Im not used to driving, and it took 40 mins zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz. The job advert said salary negotiable so iv worked out what I will need to make it worth while, bearing in mind that I don’t use any petrol going to work at the mo as I walk. I reckon im going to need about £100 a month for fuel, and a salary of £16000 to make it worth my time. I don mind driving to Newark, it’s a pretty nice drive – much better than Nottingham, so we’ll see what tomorrow brings. I don’t know much about the job or the company so I really need to do some research this afternoon. Im also getting exited because if I do get a new job I can justify getting a new car…. Im thinking a diesel, and I like clio’s or a civic, lush… ANYWAY

Tuesday not sure what im doing yet, Wednesday iv got another interview at Vision Express HQ in Notts. I think I mentioned it in an earlier blog, but I really don’t want to go for it. But I have to so as not to let the agency down, as they wont help me find another job!!! Eeek.. Unless I can fake illness and get out of it – any ideas are welcome please!

Thursday will be seeing Carl, and Friday im going out for tea to the Widecome with my college bud’s! It will be lovely to see them again!! Not sure about the weekend yes, something is ringing a bell but I don’t have my diary on me. Im hoping to get my hair dyed

Tonight should be pretty chilled; me and Carl are going to the Bold Forrester for some tea, and then watching MI III on DVD.

Wish me luck for the interview, it’s at 3.30 tomorrow!

Ciao!

Shitty cold Inn

Well! What was supposed to be a lovely weekend started out as an utter disaster! Got up early ish Friday (had the day off work) and packed for an overnight stay in Sheffield. Carl picked me up at about 1 and we set off to Medowhall. Wandered round there for a couple of hours, checking out the posh shops, Hugo, Lacoste, all the ones we cant afford!! Searched high and low for some work trousers, and ended up getting some from topshop (which I could of done in Mansfield) 28 bastard pound!!! I can’t believe it! I tried loads on though and no where did any that fit me.. Even the 6’s in Miss Selfridge were too big, but these from topshop are an 8 so I feel quite happy about that.

Left medowhall about 4.30 and drove to the holiday inn where we were spending the night, a nice romantic evening away, or so we thought! As soon as we got up to the room it was FREEZING! We put the radiator up high and sat shivering watching neighbours. Decided to order some tea from room service purely for the novelty factor than anything else, and about 6.15 our tea arrived. Consisting of a double beef-burger and chips (each) cheese & crackers for Carl and cheesecake for me. Well first bite into the burger and I noticed that it was in fact rather spicy!! (It failed to mention this on the menu) I don’t eat spicy food and neither does Carl so we ended up feasting on the burger cob and chips. Wank! The cheesecake was the smallest bit of trash imaginable and the cream crackers were a funny flavour (great). We settled down to watch a bit more TV and within minutes I started to feel unwell. Great, my tummy was bubbling and id got pains… and within an hour Carl wasn’t feeling so great either. I got worse and worse, the pains getting so bad I didn’t even want carls leg resting on mine (I don’t like to be touched when im ill). And that was it for the rest of the night!! The nice romantic evening we had planned was horrible.. And you know the best part??? We paid £124 for the room including breakfast which we didn’t even want in the morning (after still not feeling great).

What a waste.. I could cry! That would of brought me a DS or at least some nice shoes. Im gutted.. and neither of is are complainers so we never said anything to the staff.

Oh and im almost ashamed to say that the tea, including a pint of coke cost an amazing £36.50. ha ha laughable isn’t it? And the room was tiny!

The website in case you feel like getting arse raped is: http://www.ichotelsgroup.com/h/d/hi/925/en/hd/emauk

Been into town this afternoon with Carl and brought him his xmas present a coat from collections.. Supposed to be £100 but got it for £90 cause we know the bloke, so looks like im getting my DS after all! The coat looks lush on too! (yum)



Also brought some hair dye… dark brown instead of medium brown, god I live dangerously don’t I?

Skeletal

Shit… Well I dont feel any better, and not eaten my lunch (unless you can count the 2 bites of my sandwich and 3 crisps) but I’ve had to chuck my dinner away (even though I was nibbling on the bread) Why you might ask? Well I’ll tell you.. Cause I’m so frikkin thin!

People walking past my desk tutting cause I’m not eating, clearly thinking this is a regular occurrence hence the skeletal appereance! Am I not entitled to be ill just one f***ing day??? I cooked some ropey chicken last – I’m ill as a results GET OVER IT! Clearly some sympathy is too much to ask for… instead I get quizzical looks and frowns from my chums.

On another note…. Im sick of people telling me I should go back to the docs cause I have one or two off days? I have IBS! I’m not gonna be grand all the time.. if it doesn’t bother me why should you take it upon yourself to interfere Dr Dickhead!?

I feel were not finished with the blogging today!

Ouch

Okay, so I think I may have poisoned myself last night…. I’m feeling like shit this morning. My tummy is sore… and I feel rather sick… I’m hungry but can’t be arsed to eat anything! You know what I want more than anything in the world right now (including a pink Nintendo DS) is to go home and lie in bed and cry! But I can’t! I’m in on my own at work as usual on Tuesday’s, and so there is no one else to cover.

To make matters worse, I highlighted this problem with my supervisor last week, and she said I would need to ring her if I couldn’t make it in on a Tuesday. So a) I’m worried they’ll think I’m faking after bringing up the “what if I was ill on a Tuesday one time” point last week, and b) my supervisor was off ill yesterday so couldn’t come in to cover yesterday. I can’t be bothered to work… quite frankly I think I deserve a medal for turning up after what I went through this morning.

I’ll see if I can eat some lunch in an hour – wish me luck

Grumble

1st things first.. That LUSH dress came and guess what? IT DOESN’T FIT!!!!! Of course it doesn’t, why the hell would I think it would?? Fucking bastard. Going to see if my mum can take it in.. It looks HOT too! Grrr If anyone thinks skinny is a good thing I tell you now you ILL… sick in the fucking head! Lumpy is best!

Oh and if that’s not enough to annoy me (as im struggling to find shops that sell clothes that fit me) I’m having a nightmare friend situation! I really try not to moan about my friends, but im seriously thinking of having it out with one of mine….

Iv not seen them properly since the middle of August, and iv really been trying to make an effort, texting every few days about a TV programme we jointly watch religiously, with no reply’s. So I text them (around 9pm) last night asking if they wanted a pizza Saturday night and a catch up. No text back yet! That’s just fucking rude is it not? I don’t know why I bother? This is a friend I’v had for many, many years, gone through a lot together (they were a total rock when I split with Carl) and now they can’t be arsed to text back – even to make up an excuse? Im sorry! But if I’ve needed a friend in the past year its been these past few months, when iv been getting more and more depressed about issues, most importantly my weight, and they seem to have sacked me off. Im actually rather angry about this.. Are we not adults? And if iv done something to said person should they not have the balls to tell me? Anyway…. To make matters worse iv my date’s let me down tonight… lol okay she genuinely had to work but one could so easily be paranoid?!

Anyway… tonight so far chatting to wiggy on msn after making a tea of crispy chicken, veg and savoury rice (yum) Im going to watch Vincent at 9.
Tomorrow is shitty Tuesday at work, and I think im going to ED to get some books from Fiona (so be nice to me guys – or do you play tricks on the newbie?)

A very grumpy Alison x

Scranny Ally

We Are Scientist were excellent last night (after finally getting there). Im so sorry Laura for being scranny… I hate driving when I don’t know where im going and I get really wound up by it (and then get short and scranny with my unsuspecting passenger). Just to clarify I can get to Notts ok, it’s just when im IN notts that’s the problem.
In the end we parked in Victoria which we though was the safest thing to do, and we started walking in what we thought was the general direction on Rock City. We asked a suited city guy where to go and he told us to go to the top of this road and we’d be able to see it... which we did, and we couldn’t see it. We got a little bit scared waling the streets of Nottingham without a clue where we were headed, so we asked this man who looked normal (turned out he was bonkers, with not a lot of teeth) and directed us to the club (after pointing out his friend being sick in the bushes).

Got in there fine, got a drink and went to the loo (which are LOADS nicer than Leadmill – no piss on the floor/seats anyway!); we decided to try and stand on the balcony to get a good view. Moved around a bit when the band started but eventually settled on a nice little spot to enjoy the gig. The band opened with “Against all odds” which I know Westlife covered – hilarious anyway! They attempted some banter with the crowd (I say attempted as I couldn’t understand what they were saying – they sounded like American cartoons). I did catch the debate about whose tash was better Chris the bassist or Borats..?

I don’t get why people come to gigs with digital cameras? It’s just not cool is it? I mean by all means take a snap with your moby but taking a digital cameras going a but far…. WELL we stood behind this guy who’d taken his photography to the extreme. Not only had he taken his digital camera with him (which he held like a sandwich according to Laura – I agree but I don’t want to take credit for that beauty!) but he had a little satchel to hold it in, which was slung over his shoulder. Dude I have 3 words for you – What A Twat. Pic of proof! (note I was taking pics of odd people NOT the band).

All in all an excellent night… that dude what hilarious and the band’s encore was “End of the Road” by Boys II Men!!! Excellent! We’d got our arms in the air swaying around! Ha!!

We had a slight bit of trouble getting back to the car, after trying to take a short cut through the actual Viccy centre – we ended up in this other car park which said “Victoria centre” so following Laura’s advice (totally blaming you for this!!) we crawled under the barrier and started walking through a deserted underground car park – I got a feeling that was where I was going to die, and it didn’t take us long to get spooked by a bang so we scuttled off back out and decided to get the car par the way we came out instead of trying to find a shortcut!

Thanks for an excellent night Laura, so glad you came (even if you weren’t familiar with the band) hope you enjoyed it, and sorry again for being so damn ratty!

Kasabian NEXT!

4 Weeks

Totally slipped my mind whilst blogging this morning.. BUT Iv been stopped smoking for 4 weeks today. Yay to me!

Haven't put any fucking weight on though! Been in Matalan today and nothing fits me! what the HELL am I going to do?

Fireworks

Not blogged for a couple days, but not much has happened...

Iv applied for a job at Broxtowe Council, and iv got an interview for Vision Express in notts! REALLY don’t fancy working for Vision as its way into notts on the Boulevard's and its going to take forever to get to work... BUT I can’t see any other option otherwise its put up and shut up where I am, and in the politest way, I think im ready to move on. Id really like this one for Broxtowe council, not only is it circa £20k pa but its in Beeston, which isn't too bad I don’t think for traveling? Anyway.. We’ll see. Interview for vision is on the 15th Nov, agency is calling me back Monday to confirm time (hopefully PM).

Me and Carl went to the annual fireworks display at Stags last night. It’s been our "thing" since we got together, and this is our 6th year of going together, and to be quite honest it’s SUCKED! The fireworks get worse and its costs £4 to get in, so I think we've decided that we'll go somewhere else next year to enjoy fireworks.

We once had a fantastic year where we blagged some VIP tickets and went into the players lounge thing, drinking free wine with all the council bods and top guys from posrtland college, after the main display outside we then went back inside and sat on the west stand drinking lager watching the fireworks go off all over mansfield, it was possibly the single most romantic thing thats ever happend to me!!

Anyway! I did however win a Patrick last night from one of the stalls! Well it was a losing prize but suits me fine... goes ace with my sponge bob in my car!



Iv started making my xmas cards... here's the first... (The quality of my digi cam at close range is shocking, and I can connect phone to laptop (only to the PC for some bizarre reason) so there you go.

Im off to see We Are Scientists tonight with Laura at Rock City! woop!! Not wearing jeans like last week tho... no siree!!! IM really looking forward to it :)

Catch ya later x

Money

Why the hell is it that I have no money???

I get paid a pretty piss poor wage... BUT i dont spend that much do I?? Im tempted to put up my accounts for the month... but im too ashamed! and also I dont want weirdo's reading it.

Yes Iv brought that dress off ebay (but i made £35 so im still in profit in my paypal account) and I have brought a couple of xmas presents but why is it I only have £66 to play with? Which lets face it, not much playing is gonna get done is it.

Im going to medowall and staying the night in Sheffield (booked a swanky hotel) next week, was gonna pay for half the hotel this month (its on the C.Card but I might not bother, I think I might switch the card over to another 0% cause it aint gonna be paid off by Jan). My gran gave me £100 the other week which fortunately Iv still got, so i could use £50 for shopping and then £50 for food and stuff at the hotel.

Anyway... this blogs more for my benefit, trying to work things out in my head gets confusing after playing with numbers all week.

If anyone wants my paypal address to donate money just let me know!

Catch ya later
