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.

Heeeeeeeeey :)
I got my eyebrows threaded for the first time today. I usually get them waxed but I've wanted to try threading for a while. A colleague recommended that I just have a look in the windows of the little Indian fabric shops at the top of Leith Walk, and that they would probably have signs in the window advertising threading. I was a bit scared at the thought because I'm always a bit hesitant when trying new eyebrow places. I've had an eyebrow disaster once and it's sooooo bad coz it's right on your face and you can hardly do anything about it! Anyway, I was brave and decided to go for it. I'm a bit more handy with an eyebrow pencil these days and thought if it was messed up at least I could save it a bit.
So the first fabric shop on Leith Walk had a little sign outside advertising beauty treatments, including eyebrow threading so I hopped in. The woman behind the counter said it cost a fiver and said to go through the back and I'd probably have to wait 10 mins. I went through and there was a small room, with 2 big chairs in front of mirrors, a treatments bed and a few chairs for people to sit and wait on. There was 2 women working, and the waiting chairs were full so one of them told me to sit on the bed, so I did. I'd been sitting there a good few minutes when I realised there was a tiny baby just lying on the end of the bed! Bit surprising but hey ho. The baby started to cry and another lady came and took it away.
Eventually........... it was my turn! I'd heard that sometimes you have to hold your eyebrow up for them, so I said to the woman that it was my first time so she knew to tell me to do stuff. I didn't have to hold my eyebrow up but I did have to hold it down at one point. I must say, it was sore!!! But in a few minutes it was over and I handed over my fiver. After that I was straight on the bus to Asda which took ages, and so it was a while before I actually got a chance to look at my eyebrows properly and see if I liked them. I did look in the mirror in the shop but my brows were all red so I couldn't really tell. When I got there they had calmed down and I was really happy with them :) they are a nice shape and look more even than they usually do. Plus, it was only £5! I usually pay between £10-£15 for waxing. I'll definitely be back there, and hopefully it won't be as sore next time!
In other news, I had a busy weekend last week. On the Friday night I went to my friend Steven's flatwarming/birthday party. It was good and a met a few nice new people. On the Saturday, me & bf went to Glasgow. When we got there, he met his sister for lunch and I met my friend. We had lunch then took a walk along to Sloane's market - http://www.sloansglasgow.com/market which sells some lovely little things, and I bought 2 rings and a necklace. Then my other friend came along and we went to the pub, and bf met us there later. Me & bf had to leave eventually as we were going to my uncle's 50th. All of my family went for dinner. We had a private room in a local pub and it was lovely. After the meal, most people went home but me, bf, my aunt & uncle stayed til closing time and had a great time! There was a singer, and usually I hate live music, but I really enjoyed her singing. She was a great singer, sang great songs and also had a laugh with the crowd. She did little dances, and was even up dancing on a chair at one point. Also there was people up dancing the whole night, and dancing on tables! Great fun :)
On to this weekend :) last night we went to see Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows :-D I looooooooooved it :) I want to see it again. Today I got my eyebrows threaded, as I mentioned above, also got a little bit of shopping in ;) tonight me & bf are having a "bed night" which is when we got to bed really early and just watch tv, eat sweets & cuddle etc :) might sound silly but we love it ha ha :) xx
Urrrgh had a rubbish day at work today after my lovely long weekend. Hopefully tomorrow will be better, once I have settled in again. It was a pretty hectic day.
Had an amazing day yesterday. This might sound boring to some people but me & bf stayed in all day and ate and watched films. Well we almost stayed in all day. Bf had to make an emergency run to the shop in the morning for toilet roll! Ha ha! But while he was out he got us McDonald's breakfasts :) we watched about 6 films and had a great time, and he made a lovely dinner :) awwwwww he's so sweet! :-D
This is my last week on the pill! I'm a bit nervous coz my bf isn't great with condoms but we'll have to live with it until my body decides to sort itself out. I've got the hospital on Friday as well about my heart. I must say I'm kind of excited to go to the hospital and see what they've got to say about my heart. I'm 99.9% sure that it's not serious so I'm just interested to see what it is that's wrong. It says I'm going to see the medicine department this time so they must be wanting me to take something. I'm just finding it really interesting. I think if it was serious then they would of had me back sooner.
We had to go a wee walk to the supermarket and we passed lots of Christmas decorations so we decided to go and buy some at the weekend :) it's our first Christmas in our flat together and I'm so excited :) we won't be spending Christmas Day here together but I can't wait to get our decorations and make it look all Christmassy together :) xx
Hi! This isn't my first blog but I'm hoping it'll be the last one. I always love them at the start then get bored but I aim to keep this one up. I won't be writing about anything in particular, just whatever I feel like at the time.
I love reading other people's blogs and I hope mine is interesting to a few as well.
As you can see from my profile I'm 26 (eeek!) and I live in Edinburgh. I'm not from here but me & my boyfriend both moved from work. I live with him in our rented flat along with our 5 fish; Leon, Sacha, Malcolm Tucker, Snape & Sirius. I'd love a kitten but we're not allowed them in the flat. Plus I think it would be a little bit cruel coz we work long hours and it would be on it's own a lot and it wouldn't be easy to let it out so that's kinda a no.
I'm originally from Glasgow and I miss it and my friends and my social life... but not really missing my family! Enjoying the peace from them. I also miss my cat!
Today I'm going shopping (soon) and then I'm getting ready to go to Glasgow to meet my friends for dinner & cocktails! ;) not decided if I will stay over with someone or make the trek back to Edinburgh, we will see! xx
