I spent the night in Aberdeen last night.  I went to work as usual in the morning, then I caught the 3pm train from Edinburgh to Aberdeen.  It was a long journey but it wasn't too bad...  luckily nobody sat next to me for the whole journey :)


Once I got to Aberdeen it was dark and freezing.  It was about half 5 in the evening.  I got off the train and got in the queue for a taxi.  £11.50 it cost me from the station to the hotel!  Thankfully I can claim it back.  I stayed at the Hilton Treetops.  It looked impressive from the outside, and the reception area was lovely, but the rooms were nothing special at all.  I'd go as far as to say that the rooms at the Premier Inn are faaaaaaaaaaaar nicer and better.  And bigger.  Plus I didn't even get a double bed, it was 2 single beds that I couldn't push together.  Not too bad for me.... I'm quite a small person, but I was in my boss's room briefly and his room was the same.  Thought they might of been able to sort him out at least.  Anyway, he (my boss) wasn't arriving til about half 8 so I had a few hours to myself.  I went down at got dinner.  It was weird sitting in the hotel restaurant eating on my own.  Food was quite nice.  After my boss got there and we sorted everything out, it was about 9pm.  I ran myself a gorgeous bath and sat in the lovely bubbles reading Glamour while listening to my iTunes.  After that I had a shower n all that, got ready n went to bed.  


This morning was a bit crazy, trying to get my manager to fax something through to the hotel to us from Edinburgh.  After that headed off to the event (which is why we were in Aberdeen in the first place).  My boss did his thing while I sat at the back whispering and emailing.  Then we were off!  On the road back to Edinburgh in the car.  We got back about 13:30 and it was straight back to work.  After the catch up chats and lunch.  Didn't get finished til about 7pm though, so I'm shattered tonight.


I'm currently watching When Harry Met Sally and I'm hoping it finishes soon coz t's a bit boring to be honest. Do you like it? xx

Versatile Blogger award

I was given this award by the lovely Lorna (thanks!) and I am now finally getting around to do it! :)

The Rules:

1. Thank and link back to the blogger who gave you the award.

2. Share 7 things about yourself.

3. Pass it along to 7 blogs you've recently discovered and enjoy.

4. Leave your recipients a note, telling them about the award.

Not too sound like a rebel, but I won't be playing by the rules!  Well, not all of them anyway.  I have already taken care of number 1, I am about to do number 2, but I won't be doing 3 or 4.  Instead I invite anyone who is reading this and fancies doing it, to do it! :)

So, 7 things about me...

1.  I am a weird mix of very girly + tomboy.  I grew up as a tom boy, going to the football all       the time, wearing football tops, hanging around with the boys, playing shooting zombie computer games.  Then when I was around 18, I changed and went in the opposite direction.  Everything had to be pink or fluffy, or I just wasn't interested.  Now, at the grand old age of 27, I am somewhere in between.  I'm probably still more of a girl's girl and if you meet me I think I come across as sweet & girly, which I am, and I love all things pink & glittery, but I also still love a good game of Resident Evil on the Playstation, have 4 tattoos and I can still get down with the boys!

2.  I've had 2 significant relationships with boys.  The 1st one started when I was 18, and finished when I was 24.  In that time, we got engaged and bought a flat together.  The break up was tough with a capital T.  The next one started when I was 24 and is still going strong now.  I met him on a football bus and we were friends for a long time before we admitted we liked each other and our first kiss.  I was still recovering from my breakup when we got together which didn't make things easy but things smoothed out and we have now ended up in a rented flat together living & working in Edinburgh of all places! ♥

3.  I kinda wish I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.  My current plans are to keep on working away in a job that I don't hate, hopefully make decent money and move back to Glasgow.  I'd like to stay with bf (and maybe even get married!).  I'd love to live in London or Manchester too but if that doesn't happen I won't be devastated and I'll be happy with little holidays there.  My job is ok but it's not my ideal job.  If I knew what my ideal job was I would go out and get it!  I would study again and get the qualifications I need.  But I've no idea what that is so I can't.

4.  I have one younger brother.  He is 2 & a half years younger than me so not too much of a difference, but we are just not close at all.  We don't fight or anything, but we are quite distant.  I don't really know why, and it's a shame, but it's hard to do anything about it.  Really my whole immediate family is a mess!  And I'm usually glad to be out of the way in Edinburgh and away from the chaos.

5.  I L♥VE TV & films.  My bf loves his TV too, we're such lovers of TV that our 2 bedroomed flat has 3 TV sets, 2 Virgin + boxes and one normal Virgin box!  So that's one with V+ in the living room, one with V+ in the spare room, and one with a normal Virgin box in the bedroom!  So we can watch whatever we like, whenever we like, and watch different stuff at the same time if we want!  I've got hundreds of DVD's, and always got loads of films taped on my V+.  We both also have Cineworld cares, you know the ones you pay monthly and then can go to the cinema as much as you like?  Yeah :)

6.  I can't drive but I would like to.  Every year I say I am going to learn, but still have not started!

7.  And finally, sometimes, when I'm on the move, listening to my iPod, I pretend that I'm in a film, and the music that I hear from my iPod, is that music in the film, the soundtrack as I am walking around, being in the film!  Daft, eh? :) xx

I'm sorry, I can't afford a Ferrari, but that don't mean I can't get you there

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

I wait underneath the covers all night beside you

I'm in a bit of a better mood than the last time I wrote!  I am still dreading the pictures of the Christmas party going on Facebook but oh well!


Me & bf have decided we are moving :) we're staying in Edinburgh but want to get away from the flat we're in just now, our neighbours are just a nightmare.  The latest escapade, was last night.  Our very annoying upstairs neighbour, started playing his music really loud at the back of 5pm, and it went on til about half 7 when I went up and chapped his door.  I chapped it 2 or 3 times and he didn't answer, but I know he was in.  Over the next hour maybe, I had chapped his door about 6 times and buzzed his buzzer.  The last time I chapped his door (really hard) he was still not answering, but he turned the music off and started to creep about, making his footsteps quieter than usual.  Weirdo.  Anyway, after that I decided I wanted to move and bf agreed.  We looked at lots of flats today and we've got a viewing on Thursday.  I love the flat and it's location, but our noisy annoying neighbours are stopping us from enjoying it.  Quite excited about moving :)


My mum has got me this watch for Christmas :)

I can't wait to get it!  It took me forever to choose between the gold or silver but I eventually plumped for silver.  On the gold one, the characters were gold, which was lovely and really classy looking, but as you can see on the silver, the characters are rainbow coloured, and in the end I thought that was more "me".


I think I know what bf has got me for Christmas.  I wish I didn't, I don't like the surprise to be ruined.  I have only myself to blame!  I keep asking and asking but I don't really mean it.  Well I do at the time but deep down I don't really want to know.  Anyway, all signs point towards a trip to London, which is brilliant :) I will have to practice my surprised face for Christmas day!


I have a day & a half left of work before I finish til Christmas :) and I can't wait!  My Nana is coming to pick us up and take us home with all the presents on Thursday :)

All I know is that you're the nicest thing I've ever seen

I had a great time on Saturday.  My friend Steve came and picked me up and we drove off.  I was a tiny bit worried because Steven is lovely but he can be very quiet at times and it feels a bit awkward, but I needn't have worried!  He was great company on Saturday and we talked and laughed all day.  We drove to The Fort which is a big kind of outdoor shopping centre/retail park in Edinburgh, and went to a couple of shops there.  I was on a mission to get all 4 different shades of Nails Inc polish free with Glamour magazine and I was successful!  I got 3 of them in Superdrug & the last one in Boots :) we then nipped to Ikea where we walked round for a while and spent ages smelling all the candles.  We both came out with a bag full of them!  After that we took a short drive to a lovely little pub called The Stables which was a proper old fashioned pub with a coal fire and we had lunch there.  We drove back in to town after that and went round Sainsbury's, before he dropped me off home :)


After I got home me & bf went out to get Christmas decorations! :) we got everything we wanted.  We came home to watch X Factor but didn't have a great night because the guy upstairs decided to have a party with a million people at it and blast his music :( hate hate hate hate.


On Sunday I got up early and went to a Spin class.  I used to do them all the time when I was younger but gave them up years ago.  It was tough but I really enjoyed myself and I'm looking forward to going to my next one.  After that I met my friend Sam and we went for lunch, then viewed a couple of gyms in Edinburgh.  I think will be joining Factory Gym, but we are trying to get a discount on the joining fee before we do it! xx
