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 hey hey :) I'm so excited it's getting so close to Christmas :-D
Not last weekend but the weekend before, I went to Glasgow from Friday til Sunday. Friday was a quiet day at work, so I travelled in the morning from Edinburgh to our Glasgow office, and worked there for the day. I took a loooooooong lunch, during which I met my friend for a munch and then left her and went shopping! I have an obsession with nail polish, and as I had bare nails that day and didn't bring any through with me to Glasgow, felt that I Had to buy some. Have you seen the new Accessorize make up? Well I'm not sure about the rest of it but the nail polishes are lovely. I bought 4 of them, and also a Barry M - Dusky Mauve and bottom/top coat. I bought Accessorize Molten Copper-
Mermaid
Pink Spice
and.... Idol
I am absolutely loving them. I'm loving Barry M's Dusky Mauve too but I'm sure you've already seen that.
I was going out on Friday night but unfortunately I had to stay in the office til 5pm. The good thing about that though, was that mostly everyone left around 4pm, leaving me to sneakily paint my nails in the office while it was quiet! ;) I went out with my friends that night and had a great time.
On the Saturday, I started my Christmas shopping. I got my mum & dad's from Molton Brown, and got bf's from Hugo Boss. I then met my friends again for a couple of drinks but headed home after a couple with my heavy bags. That night I started to feel ill, and by the time Sunday came round I was dying with the worst cold ever! My Nana came to collect me and we went to my Aunt's birthday tea. I was due to go n see Frankie Boyle with my friend that night but I gave it a miss as I felt so ill. I got the train back to Edinburgh and my lovely friend Steven came and picked me up at the station and dropped me off at my flat :)
I was off work til Thursday and ended up going to the doctor where I was told the cold had brought my asthma back and so I now have an inhaler for the next wee while!
Me & bf took a half day on Friday there and went to Glasgow. The weather was bad but we got through fine. We had dinner at his parent's house and stayed over. On Saturday I got my hair done, then me & bf went to the cinema & for dinner. Stayed over at his parent's again on Saturday night then went home to Edinburgh on Sunday. Lucky we left early coz after that the weather went mental!
And so now I am in the middle of another boring week at work! It has been quiet due to the weather, which means I've had the chance to get right in to my Christmas shopping :) still got quite a bit to go though. Can't wait to get it finished :) xx
PS. I think I may have repeated myself in this post and the one before that, but hey! :) x
So happy it's Saturday :) I love the weekend, and as sad as it may sound, was really looking forward to this one as me & my bf both had no plans and it's good to just relax :)
I had to nip to the shops during my lunch hour yesterday. Well really I had to nip to the bank but the bank is near all the shops so it'd be rude not to pop in to H&M, Boots & the £ shop while I was in the area! I bought...
Barry M Spring Green (290) & Instant Nail Effects (311) from Boots. You may have heard of Nail Effects? It's gives an interesting effect to your nails! Not sure how to describe it but I'm just using it now so will post a pic later. Also if you Google I'm sure you'll find an example :)
Vanilla & Apple body lotion, big jewelled hairclips & eyelash curlers from H&M. I did need an new body lotion & the blue coloured packaging appealed to me. Not 100% sure I love the smell though. I did already buy eyelash curlers this week from Boots... but I didn't think they were that great so giving these a go! I have no excuse for buying the hairclips other than that I thought they were gorgeous and couldn't leave without them!! :)
Also had to buy these...
Gloves for fake tanning, painkillers, Milky Bar Raisin & Biscuit aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand........ Milka Bar with popping candy! I love popping candy. This went down well with bf too.
Had a bit of a lie in this morning then we took a walk and went out for breakfast, was nice! Wish we always had time to do lovely things like this.
In other news... I got a letter this morning to go back to the hospital about my heart. To cut a long story short I've been in hospital twice with my heart because it suddenly developed a weird heartbeat. Totally out of the blue. The first time I was in hospital I got 2 ECG's, chest x-ray, blood tests etc etc, then I had to go back and have a heart scan, then had to wear a heart monitor for 24 hours. Handed the heart monitor back in 2 weeks ago and now have to go back on 5th November. I'm actually quite keen to go and find out what it is. The nurses who fitted the monitor told me that if it wasn't serious then they wouldn't get in touch at all and I would need to go to my GP who would then have to chase the hospital for the results. I was going to do that for my own curiosity, but now I don't have to. That sounds a bit bad, because obviously it is sort of serious then, if they have got back to me themselves? Have to wait and see but it can't be that bad or I think they would of had me in sooner... ♥ xx
I finished work on Friday and headed home to wait for my boyfriend to finish so that we could head to Glasgow. We were staying with my mum & dad for 2 nights, then with his for one, and we'd taken Monday off. While I was waiting for him I packed my bag and managed to find the time to paint my nails.
Once we got to my mum & dad's we had a takeaway with my mum - Indian. My dad was out but my brother was in and he had some too. The next day we went for a Wimpey, yay!!!! Then off to visit my Nana before she went on her trip to Rome. After that I had my hair cut & coloured. It's much darker than before and is still quite long but now has MILLIONS of layers in it. I was fed up with it and said to my hairdresser to just go for it, and do whatever she liked. I like it but I'm still getting used to it. Wish my fringe was just a little bit longer! That night we went out for dinner with my mum, dad & brother. It wasn't great because to be honest I'm not too keen on spending time with those 3! I can't really explain it but I can't handle being with them for too long and I don't enjoy it and it makes me feel really bad :-/ anyway....... the next day I met 2 of my friends & one of their boyfriends for lunch. Was great to see them. Then I headed to bf's mum & dad's where he was waiting. Spent the night there and then we went to the cinema in Glasgow yesterday. Seen 2 films with a Pizza Hut in between :) we used to always go to this cinema in Glasgow and loved it. Obviously don't get to go to that one as much now we're in Edinburgh. We seen Wall Street and Mr Nice. Wall Street was one of the most boring films I've ever seen. As you may already know, the first Wall Street film was in the 80's. I've never seen it but my bf wanted to go n see the new one, so I managed to catch the first one on Sky Movies. Hated it! Thought the new one would be better though, but honestly I sat trying to see my watch in the dark for most of the time. Mr Nice was pretty good, but was far too long!
Back to work and back to reality today! Work was really quiet, which might sound good but it meant that the day dragged.
I'm catching up with The Only Way Is Essex. I know they're really tacky etc... but I love how they all go to all this effort to look "good" every day :) although I wouldn't like to look like them, I wish I could make the time every day to look my best! I do try but there's some days where I just can't be bothered or sleep in.
Bf is out tonight for a few drinks. He is the one out of us that cooks. I can't cook to save myself and so since he is out I've had a Pot Noodle for dinner! Chinese Chow Mein, wasn't too bad, first time I've tried it ha ha :) xx
