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
I feeling a bit sorry for myself :( stupid I know but I can't help it.
Yesterday was my work Christmas night out. I had a great time during the day - me & my manager went out for our own wee Christmas lunch to Pizza Express (oh the glamour!) and had a few drinks and a great laugh. After that we went down to the bar at work to watch Come Dine With Me. Now, I know that might sound weird but CDWM was in Edinburgh this week, and one of the guys works in the building I work in, and a crowd went down to the bar to watch the final episode, which was also his night. It was good fun. Then we headed up the Royal Mile to a fancy little cocktail bar called Monteith's, which is really nice with lots of fairy lights. My friend met us there, then we went to a dodgy bar which I hated! We were only there for one though, and then headed to the hotel which our dinner was. I was a bit tipsy by then and having a good time.
Then it all started to go wrong.
Nothing really happened I just stopped having a good time and I wasn't having a laugh and kind of felt like I didn't fit in. I moved to Edinburgh properly about a year ago and I feel it's been difficult to make proper friends here. I have made a few I would say but not enough to make me happy :-/
I have my friend S who is a lovely guy but sometimes he's hard work. He can be veeeeeeeeeeery quiet and I feel like I have to make all the conversation, and then if I stop doing that, he won't start and will just stay quiet and I feel awkward :( I also have my friend (another S) who moved from Glasgow to live with her bf and is one of my proper friends from home, but now when I meet her in Edinburgh I feel bored because all she does is moan about bf and all their troubles. But, then I think "is the common denominator, me?" I have to have some part in it, right? So that makes me feel shit.
I miss my friends from home and how easy it is to be with them. I told my bf about this last night and his suggestion was to arrange to meet my friends tomorrow in Glasgow for lunch which I have arranged. I don't do this that much coz it costs to get here and back but I feel I need it.
The other thing is...... I seen pictures of me from last night and I look so fat in every picture :( shallow I know :(
I know this is (hopefully) just a phase I am going through like we all do from time to time xx
