More like Less Money More Problems! I'm going to be hit with lots of bank charges next month, going to cost me about £100 :( I've also got other things to pay for like rent, bills, haircut, eyebrow threading, friend's birthday present & party, sofa/chair covers, removal people & van....... ouch. I think I'm going to put off the glasses until my next pay. The haircut.... well I can't claim it's essential but I do need it.... ha ha. And for the rest of the month I'm going to have to be really careful. *sigh* well that's the plan.
I've got other plans.....
♥ look better
I think I'm an average looking girl. I'm not that good looking, I'm not that bad looking (most of the time), I'm just somewhere in the middle. But, I believe I could look better. I wear make up but I think I could wear it better. I've never really worn foundation. For the last 2 years I've worn a Benefit face powder but it's now running out, and also, I think I need more coverage now that I am 27 *sob sob* and so, I have been looking in to foundations and have decided that tomorrow, when I get paid, I will be taking advantage of the 3 for 2 offer on Max Factor in Boots, and buying their Experience liquid foundation, and also their minerals foundation. I'll throw in their False Lash Effect mascara to complete the trio. I currently use & love that. I've no idea what shade to go for, I'm hoping it's easy to choose when I'm in the shop. I need contact lenses & glasses. I MUCH prefer contacts. In fact I hate wearing glasses because I feel like they make me look bad. I feel like however good I think I look, when I put glasses on they bring the whole look down a touch. The thing is, I need to wear glasses to work because long days + sitting in front of a computer all day + contact lenses = headache. I had an eye test last week and I could do with new glasses but as I said I will get them in my next pay. I will need to choose nicer looking ones. The ones I have just now are not bad but I think I could do better. I'm paying much more attention to my wardrobe and keeping it up to date & also only buying clothes that will suit my shape. Then there's my hair. My hair can be good but I need to spend more time on it in the mornings. This will lead on to my next plan.
Wow, that probably sounds really vain but it's true...
♥ get up earlier and have some routine in the mornings
I'm so bad in the mornings it's unbelievable. It doesn't matter what time I set my alarm, I get out of bed at the latest time possible. Either that or I get up at a reasonable time but then I mess about watching tv or on my phone, and then I'm rushing about to get out the door. This is ridiculous, because I only live 10 mins walk from work. This is all going to change in a week because I am moving. I'll only be a 15/20 min walk from where I am now, but it'll still be a longer walk. I cannot be late for my work, it's just not an option so I have to make sure I'm on time. I don't want to be rolling out of bed like I have been doing because I won't have the cushion of the tiny walk to work. SO my plan is to get up earlier, give myself time to wake up, have a cup of tea, quick shower and time to make myself presentable and then being able to walk leisurely to work without being late!
Gotta be done! xx
Hey :)
I'm a little bit worried about the new flat! I'm nervous that we won't get our deposit back on our current flat. I can't think of a proper reason for us not to, I'm just worried about it. I'm also worried about actually getting the new flat. The agency are doing their "checks" and I'm worried about them too! I'm just being paranoid I know (I hope), but I can't help it. Also, neither of us can drive so it is difficult for us to move all our stuff. My friend said her bf would hire a van from his work and move it for us, but now they have had a falling out and I'm not sure how things are with them and so I'm not sure what will happen with us moving :-/ I have furniture at my old room at my mum & dad's and my mum phoned today to say she would like to get all new furniture in the room so offered me some of the old stuff. The flat we're going to is furnished but it would hurt to have this extra stuff. I asked her how we would get it through and she suggested hiring a van, so we will see what happens.
Yesterday some friends came through and we had a belated birthday lunch for me. Spent the whole day in Walkabout drinking cocktail pitchers, nice :) xx
Hi :)
My birthday yesterday was lovely. Bf really wasn't feeling well but he still insisted on getting up in the morning and going out to bring me a McDonald's breakfast so I could have it in bed :) we then had a lazy morning in bed, and eventually got up to view a flat.
I reeeeeeeeeeally liked the flat :)
After that we went to the Hard Rock Cafe, which is where I wanted to go for my birthday lunch. I'd never been to one before though, and when we went in I wasn't impressed with the menu at all, so we moved on, and ended up in Zizzi's! Yum! After that we went to TGI Friday's where I had a champagne birthday cocktail, Bellini, mmm!
We then headed home for a while, then out to see another flat. After that, bf made me my birthday tea! Which was actually square sausage & potato scones! Ha ha! He said he knew I loved them (which I do) and what was wrong with eating that for dinner and not breakfast? :) Then a lovely chocolate cake :)
Today it was back to work :( but not until after we had seen another flat! It was nice but not really for us, and we decided to go for the first flat we seen yesterday! Due to move in on 4th February :) I am soooooooooo excited! I need to look in to foam mattress toppers and couch covers now :) wooooooooo Ikea here we come! :) xx
Hi :)
My birthday tea with my family yesterday was lovely. My bf's family also came. Both families get on really well which is really nice. My ex's family were kinda weirdos. I got some lovely presents and also some money. Even though it wasn't my actual birthday, I couldn't help but open my presents! I will still have some to open on my actual birthday tomorrow though :) bf has kept his back, and I got one from my friend Steven tonight. I will get presents from my friends late, as they are coming through to Edinburgh on the 15th for a late birthday lunch! :)
Bf stayed over with me at my parent's last night. After the birthday tea we went for a walk together in the dark pouring rain (!) and then decided we would go for a sit-down Indian meal, yum yum. At the end of the meal we were given a shot each. I had Apple Sourz, bf had Cherry Sourz. Weird to be given them randomly after an Indian meal but nice.
Today I gathered all my stuff together and my Nana & her husband gave me & bf a lift back to Edinburgh. I needed a lift from Edinburgh with all the presents I had for other people before Christmas, and then it was the same on the way back with all the presents I had received!! Bf hasn't been feeling too well so he just chilled out when we got back but I started to try and put away some of my presents and and stuff I bought myself in the sales.
Tonight me & my friend Steve went to the cinema to see The King's Speech starring Colin Firth! I wasn't that interested in the film but Steven asked me last week to go. He is really in to the royal family and so was really excited. I don't really like them but do find them & their history kinda interesting. Anyway the film was great! Colin Firth is amazing in it, and so is the guy that plays his speech therapist, not sure of his name. Steven picked me up and dropped me off home after it, and gave me my present! Will be opening that tomorrow.
Well it looks like I will be having a nice birthday tomorrow :) bf has told me that he will be getting up to go and get us McDonald's breakfasts in the morning so I can eat it lying in bed, then we will be going to view a flat, then we will be going for a birthday lunch which I think I have decided will be at the Hard Rock Cafe, then we will be viewing another flat later, and then after that he will give me his own wee birthday tea :) can't wait! :) <3 xx
Hope you all had a good one :) I did, and I had a good new year's day although today I have been in a bit of a mood!
During the day on Friday I met my friends and then that night I spent Hogmanay (as it's called in Scotland) at bf's parent's house with them & him. It was a nice little quiet one and I toasted the bells with raspberry vodka & lemonade, and kisses & hugs. We had planned on new year's day to go to my aunt's as we usually do for a nice big dinner, but unfortunately she is ill with the flu! So instead we went to my other aunt's, which was just as good. Although there was less drinking involved than there usually is at my other aunt's! Bf stayed at my mum & dad's house with me last night, which was great until we had a little "hiccup" which has left me in a mood today. Everything is fine I just find it hard to get out of my little moods. Something I should work on in 2011!
Anyway, he was at the football today and I had plans to hit the sales! Which I did :) I got in to Glasgow pretty early and it was quiet (for a change) so I had the luxury of being able to look round Primark and being able to actually move without having to barge past loads of people! I bought a few things in there, then headed to H&M, and Boots. I went to a lot of shops in between but those 3 are the only ones I bought from. Oh and I finally managed to get myself a bottle green coat that I liked :) this winter I have been living in my green Parka which is great, but I also wanted something a little smarter.
I will be in my parent's house on my own tonight as they are away and my brother has been kicked out, eeeeek. I think I will spend tonight painting my nails. I was going to have a bath but not sure if I can be bothered :-/
Tomorrow is my family birthday tea. My birthday is actually on Wednesday but I will be back in Edinburgh by then so we're doing it tomorrow :) then on Tuesday me & bf will head back to Edinburgh, I am going to the cinema with a friend that night and then it's my birthday! :) and back to work on Thursday.
