New.....

Hi guys!!!

This is a scheduled post. As this goes up I will be.....starting my new job!!!!

I've not wanted to say anything until everything was sorted....but as I type this there's less than 2 working days until I start so I'll assume everything is sorted.

As per usual I can't say where I'll be working or what I'll be doing, but I will be based near Westminster and I am really really looking forward to starting.

My last day at my 'old' job was 14/02/14 and I'm currently on annual leave sorting out bits and bobs. I cried a lot saying goodbye to my friends and am really sad to be leaving. But this is a new chapter and I hope I make new friends and enjoy my job as much as I did my last one.

And....my little secret was the reason for all the recent shopping that has been happening! I haven't won the lottery or anything but a new job does mean new shoes, bags, coat, hair and make up is needed lol

Starting a new job means putting your best foot forward, and that can't be done in scruffy shoes can it?!

New year, new shoes! Asos shoe haul

Hi Guys!

I made an asos order and it's arrived. There was a note in my post box saying my parcel had been left under the doormat. Is this guy making fun out of me!?!?! LOL

I ordered two pairs of shoes, and a pair of boots. I ended up selling on the boots to SF, returning the gold tip shoes, and keeping the tassel loafers. No I was not drunk when making my decision!!!

So the tan cutout boots are actually from Newlook but purchased off of the ASOS website (on a side note, I love that Asos Curve sell Newlook's Inspire range) - I love them but I really didn't need them. I was ready to send them back when SF also fell in love with them. £14.50 in the sale. I wish I had kept them, but since they aren't really suitable for work and I don't leave the house on the weekend I had to make the mature choice and say goodbye!!!

Next pair of shoes were ASOS brand and they were the gold tipped loafer. My friends think I am going mad, but I know what I was thinking. They were in the sale for £25 and I would have totally kept them but they were so narrow I nearly lost consciousness when trying them on!!! Goodbye funky shoes!

Finally! I found my 'solemate' lol

Black slighty shiny (not patent, but that proper fake leather, you know what I'm saying?) loafers with a fun tassel. Asos brand and £22 in the sale. They are really comfortable. And again my friends laugh at me but I really wanted a flat shoe that wasn't a pump.

Apologies for the terrible quality picture but here's me dancing around on my furry carpet. These shoes aren't pretty but they make me happy :)

Christmas lunch 17th Dec

Had a work christmas lunch on the snowy friday 17th. Was a lovely christmas lunch.

Dear....Mary Kate and Ashley

Hi guys,

Just thought I'd quickly throw down some random words before dinner time as I miss rambling.

I've had a busy week, work wise and socially. I've been sleeping really late every night and jesus I feel it in my old bones!

I plan to get my hair cut (trimmed) in about 2 weeks but not sure if I can handle the emotional turmoil I go through every time a pair of scissors comes near my hair so we will see. Plus I think I should wait for my next credit card bill before I start planning to spend even 50p!!

On Monday AK came round and we ate kebab and had a good old girly gossip. She took her epilator back (bye bye!) and penny palace felt empty without it.

On Tuesday I went round to SF's again for food and girlie gossip and that turned into a much longer night than planned but I had the best time. Also managed to pick up another epilator from her (which I've used and love, but will review after about a month) so I haven't turned into a gorilla as I feared lol

Wednesday....I was home alone and I had spaghetti bolognaise and cheesy garlic bread (that I put together myself) for dinner. This will also be my dinner for today (and was actually dinner on Tuesday at SF's too!). Luckily I love spag bol lol

AK is at a wedding close by to me so she said she might pop round later but generally speaking my plans for this evening is to just relax, eat and then pick up all the crap laying around as it has got to a point where I can't take two steps without tripping up.

I made an order for some fancy (full) slips the other day and picked them up at the post office yesterday. I was so excited to get home and try them on....they don't quite fit. I'm so pissed off with myself for being so optimstic when ordering them, I knew I should have gone for a bigger size but the site had the crappest return policy so I am stuck with them. And they were expensive (well, they were a bargain but I could hav egot plain polyester for £5 at matalan kmt) so I will make them work.

Today I made another trip to the post office (I've been at least 3 times in July and haven't burst into tears once, really proud of myself!) to return some asos stuff - the package was nearly 3kg!!! That will be some welcomed money back onto my credit card!!!

I'm really proud of myself because last night I was browsing through the ASOS site and it said that it was the last day of sale and I was so tempted to buy a few hundred things but I kept my 'no asos' pledge and just logged offline. [Edit - after a better look the sale stuff is still online but under 'sale' not 'clearance' - i am so clever (!)]

However, I am now on asos looking at the new stuff. I don't think I said how long I was boycotting them for; tomorrow is pay day........*haha* ......hhmmm I've had a look at the curve collection - dress wise I'm only medium-loving one but it's more for autumn so I won't rush to buy that. Had a look at the normal collection and there's 2 dresses I like but I think I'll try hold out for a reduction cos one of the dresses I already have in black (x2) and navy and the other one I wouldnt be able to wear to work so it's a bit pointless considering I work 6 days a week and day 7 is PJ day!! lol

Oooooh, 6:10pm it's officially dinner time!!

Thank you for reading,

Bye xoxo

Rant and Holidays part 2 + ramble

So today was a good day at work; I definitely don't want to fling myself off the top floor anymore!!
But for some reason I am so tired. Don't know if it's my sickness or just stress.

Last night I went to bed at 8pm as planned (well 8:15 to be exact) but I couldn't sleep. Was in the worst/weird random pain ever. My shoulders were so tensed, I ended up having to sleep on the floor without a pillow, it was the only way I could ease the pain (and even then it wasn't gone). Woke up feeling ok but not feeling like I had a long sleep.

Been tired all day, and it didn't help that all I had to eat by 4pm was a bowl of cocopops!!! We had 'an event' today and even though a long lunch was scheduled I ended up spending an hour printing out 330 pages and stapling it together. So i had 15mins for my cocopops and a wee (TMI?)

But yay I am home now and on the way I popped in the chicken shop and got myself chips and wings :)

The holiday part of this post is to basically say: no morocco. I went into work to check my work schedule (Cos I'd checked my diary and I didn't have any big events coming up) and the period I need off has been taken (its the first week of the summer holidays duh) and only 1 person off at a time, especially if its a whole week, which is fair considering my team consists of 3 people.

I am a bit sad. Because I was weighing up all the pro's and con's and the only real con was money and I was thinking of robbing a bank (or maybe just spending a bit less on my credit card) and I am a bit miffed that my decision has been made for me. In fact, because the decision not to go isn't mine it makes me really really really want to go now!!! *sighs*

Tomorrow (TGIF) I'm debating whether to pop down to oxford street after work, I need to buy my dad something for fathers day (i was thinking of a Gap giftcard) but if I'm feeling how I am now tomorrow then that's definitely a no. I could always pop to oxford street after work on Saturday but am worried I'm cutting it a bit fine.....and what if I'm feeling dodgy on saturday and need to go straight home for a lie down? Then I am screwed. I was actually planning to go today becasue an event usually = a relatively early finish, plus thursday is late night shopping but I was all wobbly from stress, fatigue, sickness and hunger so had to speed it home.

All my ramble type posts have been just moan moan moan recently and i do apologise. Hopefully next week will be a better week for me!

One last moan: i painted my toes with Barry M's lemon ice cream...horrible!! It looks like my toenails are rotten or something equally as bad :( In fact, it probably looked better on my finger nails which isn't saying much!

I think now would be a good time for me to do my 3 blessings before the wind changes and turns me into a miserable old hag forever!!!

1) Finally got to eat chicken wings, first time this week :)
2) No longer vomitting which is always a good thing (hope I haven't jinxed my chicken wings!!!)
3) Will get to see the family on sunday cos its fathers day :)

So you tell me, what's been p*ssing you off?!
