Last day of freedom!

March 7th, 2008

its my last weekday before i go back and start my full time job! how unfair… i’m going to go to oxford street soon after i get out of bed and help my BF pick out stuff for his new improved bathroom. I cant believe i start work on Monday, im really excited but also quite scared and a little bit nervous.

Lazy Sundays!

March 2nd, 2008

im feeling lazy today. My new job doesn’t start until the 10th March. i have a nice long week off before I start. so, I am staying in Brighton tonight and heading back up to London tomorrow. There is never much to do on a Sunday. I might go browse around the shops later on today. What does everyone else do on a Sunday? they are pretty boring somtimes! At least T4 is on channel 4 until a bit later this afternoon, so there is some good tele to watch - hollyoaks repeat, vanity lair, the hills! YAY

girl in Brighton

March 1st, 2008

i’m back in my hometown of Brighton for the weekend. It’s mothers day so I have come to visit my mum and dad. Its really sunny down here and warm and I was down on the beach earlier - not sunbathing! but I walked along with a couple of my friends and then went to a bar. i haven’t seen my friends down here for AGES and it was so nice to see them - they are the type of friends you have known for years and will always be in touch. I think i have known my friends for about 15 years! thats crazy!

Its really nice being back home, no doubt i will be bored by tonight! My mum cooked a massive meal last night. i haven’t had a home cooked meal for ages. it’s really cosy and comfy here! But i know what i am like and by tomorrow i’ll be ready to go back to my house in London!

HOORAY

February 29th, 2008

Guess what? i have finally managed to get a job! Yup, its a bit weird because its where I used to work as an assistant merchandiser. But now, I am going to be a Buyers associate for their lighting department. Wooooo! I am so pleased and excited, I was starting to worry that I’d have to move back home for a while there. Congratulations to me!

Here comes the sun!

February 26th, 2008

YAY ITS THE SUN

Has anyone noticed that the last couple of days have been a lot milder, and the sun has started to shine?! I’m so pleased. This morning I woke up and I was feeling a bit grumpy. I pulled back the curtain expecting to see a grey sky, but to my delight I saw sunshine! As soon as I saw the bright sky it made me smile. I started to think that in a couple more weeks the nights will start to get brighter and longer and warmer. Its going to be sooooooo nice. I think that the bad weather depresses me!

What to do?

February 25th, 2008

i’m job searching today - I called in sick for my temp job cos i couldnt be bothered to go today. im so lazy, but Acton takes ages to get to and I couldnt be arsed with it all! hahah! Hooray, im so pleased. I am applying for jobs and then I am going to go back to my house (am at my boyfriends) and cook myself a chicken stir fry! mmmm, im so hungry!

I feel like its a new week and good things are going to happen this week as I have two job interviews so I should get one of them! well, at least I hope so!!! yay! and my boyfriend has done a big deal at his company too today so the good luck has already started!

M&S mix n match

February 25th, 2008

Has anyone seen the ads that are splurged all over girls magazines at the moment for M&S underwear? They have gone really cheap and sassy on their new range of mix and match knickers and bras. They are doing pretty girl colours (pink mainly) and leopard print. Ony £8 for a bra and £3 for the pants and they are really sexy too. Another bonus - they are 100% cotton!

 I tried to buy some yesterday but they were sold out of my size - must be due to their huge marketing campaign!

Lonely Day

February 23rd, 2008

i’m having such a crap day today. I came to my boyfriends last night. Didn’t manage to get out of bed till about 1 today, then i washed my hair and it takes ages to dry. It’s still wet now and its 330pm. My boyfriend has gone out with his friends and I’m lonely. Not just that but I’m feeling so crap that I still haven’t found a job, its so difficult to get interviews and it’s really depressing. What a waste of the weekend. Just want someone around to make me feel better but everyone is out enjoying themselves. :(

Job Interviews

February 20th, 2008

I have been searching for jobs again. Today I had an interview where I used to work. I want to go back, but within a different role. So we’ll see about that one. Also, I went to an agency and had an interview there. Its so depressing as there doesn’t seem to be any jobs in buying which is what I want to do. I get so disheartened because I feel like I am constantly searching for jobs and not getting any luck. I am still temping in Acton, but its so far out of zone 1. It takes me two hours of travel each day (there and back). Oh well :-( Hopefully I will find something great soon…

1 Girl, 1 Phone charger, 3 Homes

February 17th, 2008

It’s sooooo cold today! I cant believe it’s so cold and it’s the weekend. Its really unfortunate because it has been stopping me from going out. When i do go out, i get so chilly, that i have to go back home again. I have stayed at my boyfriends house this weekend. I live here half the week and at my house the other half of the week. And then sometimes I go and visit my parents in Brighton. It can get a bit annoying sometimes because I always forget my phone charger or forget to bring fresh clothes! Today I bought a new phone charger so that solves that problem for a while - until I get a new phone at least….

I went to the beauty that is Edgware Road today. Now, when I first moved to London, this road used to scare the crap out of me! It’s quite scary and you feel like you have to hold on to your belongings as there are loads of Gypsies trying to get cash out of you (including small children). I’m used to it now though, I don’t get scared anymore. I quite like it, there are loads of amazing restaurants and you can always smell shisha and tasty chicken kebabs. And there’s this one guy who sells “Magic Corn”, I’m not sure why its magic, but its all good! Anyway, so the point was, I went to Edgware Road and bought myself a new phone charger at the knockdown price of a tenner! Yay! They are selling the same chargers for £30 in the carphone warehouse. Mine is probably nicked or something, but at least it works and I saved myself £20!

So now I have two phone chargers. One here and one at my house…Lucky for me that I have two pairs of GHD hair straighteners too. Honestly, I cant go out if I haven’t straightened my hair, it looks soooooo horrible!
