I'm doing nothing... coz then at least I'm doing nothing wrong

Evening :)


Last night I ended up in work until half past 7pm, after starting at half 8am.  Shattered.  I was waiting on briefing coming in for the next day, today.


This morning I was at the hospital for my heart <3 all seems to be fine!  My heart scan was fine, heart is perfect.  I do have some irregular beats, which are called ectopic beats, but everyone can occasionally get them, it's just that I seem to be getting loads.  They don't do any harm.  I'm going back in February for a check up but I'm sure it'll be fine! :)


After the hospital I headed to Stirling for a conference.  I sat right up the back.  I didn't choose to go, I had to accompany the boss.  I was there for about 4 hours!  Boredom!!!  I played on my phone for a bit, but you can only do that for so long.  I tried to listen to the speeches, but they were too boring.  I nipped out a couple of times, pretending to go to the toilet, to go n read my magazine!  A guy in front of me's mobile rang, REALLY loud, TWICE!  It rang, so he ran out the room all embarrassed to take the call, came back in 2 mins later, and before he even sat down it rang again!!  You'd think after the first time he'd have learned his lesson and put it on silent!  I'm just glad it wasn't me.  Although mine did vibrate very loudly a few times before I realised it was mine!


After I got back to Edinburgh, I went in to the office for an hour, then headed home for a quiet night in with bf!


Tomorrow, me & my friend and going a drive to Ikea and some other shops, and for lunch. We also have to go on a mission to find Glamour magazines, as I hear they are giving away Nails Inc and so I will need to get every shade they're doing it in of course.  I kinda forgot about it, until bf mentioned it.  He said "I didn't know if you were in to that kinda stuff"  what, nail polish?  Our fridge is full of it.  It's going to be so difficult to get them all.  I take it he forgot when we were running round London this summer trying to get all the different free Benefit things with Glamour, or running round Manchester last year trying to get all the free Nails Inc stuff they did in November last year.  Oh well, fingers crossed we can find them all tomorrow.


Sunday, I am doing my first Spin class in years!  Then meeting another friend and going to see a couple of gyms, and for lunch.


Also buying Christmas decorations with bf somewhere in amongst all of the above :) xx

The evening after the night before...

Well last night was ok.  I spent ages getting ready and was really happy with how I looked.  I wore a little black skirt with small white hearts on it.  It is short and quite tight but has a little frilly bit just above the bum.  Maybe sounds weird but I promise it's nice!  I also wore a loose black top with black crystals stitched around the front tucked in to the skirt, with black tights and chunky boots with chunky heels, which were black with gold buckles & studs.  I was really happy with my make up.  I normally wear Benefit's Eye Bright on my water line which is a really light pink, almost white and really opens up my eyes.  Occasionally I will swap to Urban Decay's Electric 24/7 liner which is a turquoise colour, but that's generally as far as I go with eye liner.  But, the other day I bought a GOSH eye liner from Superdrug.  I think it's maybe called Dove Grey.  I still wore my Eye Bright on my water line but I went for the GOSH line on my top eye lid and I even attempted a sexy little flick!  Which I think was pretty successful.  On my hair I used a volumising mousse by Aussie, and blow dried it with a large round brush so it was nice and big.  Pinned my fringe to the sides and sprayed with Aussie hair spray.  It was the first time I used both those Aussie products and I must say I was impressed!


We went to Jamie's Italian, which is an Italian restaurant (duh?) on George Square in Glasgow.  Oh and it is owned by Jamie Oliver.  It was lovely but I don't think it was anything special and I wouldn't be back in a hurry.  After that we headed to The Corinthian which is a pub/club.  Looks lovely but was FULL of posers in suits.  Old sleazy guys and young sleazy guys that think they're something else.  Wasn't in there long.


Also yesterday, before I started to get ready I headed to Princes Street to see if I could find something new to wear.  I couldn't, but I popped in to Lush as I'd heard that none other than the best shower gel ever; Snow Fairy, was back out for Christmas, and the rumours were true :-D the Lush on Princes Street was actually having a Snow Fairy party, so all the staff were in pink and I was given a cup of pink Cherryade and a pink wafer!  I got a bit carried away and also picked up the Snow Fairy lip tint which is an amazing hot pink colour and of course has that beautiful Snow Fairy scent, which even my boyfriend loves!  I don't have to worry about him stealing my shower gel though.... due to the glitter! :)


Well, I'm away for now because I'm going to bed with a boyfriend and a tin of chocolates! ;) xx
