( Family stuff )

So as I said before, I've been promoted and with that comes a new uniform. I now have to wear a black blouse instead of the disgusting blue sack. Yeah, trying to find a Plain black blouse in a size 8 that isn't linen in Aberdeen is actually impossible. I ended up with a size 10, but it's better than nothing. Especially since Leanne was wearing a blouse her very next shift. And I got new work shoes too. My big and baby toes were starting to stick out of my last pair.

Speak of shoes I wore these so much I made penny sized hole in the sole. (oh my beloved teaparties) I finally took them to the cobbeller today. To get them re-heeled is £8.95 and to re-sole them is £14.95. That's almost the cost of a new pair. But they're doing a special, get them re-soled and they get re-heeled for free. Yay!

I got my invoice from Qcute for my shoes (paid!), all my Loli purchases are in the Celga warehouse and I got the invoice for my item in the Anna House GO (paying Tues). So thank goodness I'll have some more storage space.

Wow! Five days already huh?
My week in a rundown:
Mon: worked in golf.
Tues: Supposed to be my day off, but due to lack of staff, I had to come in and cook for a party. I was exhausted by the time I got to class and then discovered I didn't have half my materials with me (including paper). I was so tired I decided to get the bus to Tilly instead of walking. (And heck, you'll never guess!) Max from class, the guy I've been accidentally stalking, appeared at the bus stop. Turns out he lives in the nicer part of Tillydrone (yes, there is a nicer part).
wed: work again. OMG! people and lost property. Sorry, But you're the Jackass that didn't look after your shit, don't start ranting at me cos it hasn't been handed in.
Thurs: This was interesting. Tillydrone has like a mini town centre. All it's missing is clothes shops. There's a farmfoods, iceland, chalmer's baker, TSB, Clydesdale, Bank of Scotland, Loyds pharmacy, Pound stretcher and an Au Naturale. Pound stretcher btw now stocks all the unsold stock from Woolworths. I got a Woolies iron. How grown up of me to buy an iron and get excited about it lol.

And then today: Meh same old.

In my last entry I mention my new addiction to Xsparkage's blog. It's opened me up to a whole new world of make-up for me, and I already have an epic wants list. One of the company's I've been hearing a lot about is Coastal scents. So I went to coastalscents.com to have a peek. By Gosh I'm in love:
( coastal scents )
I found out how much is on my credit card, Current credit available is £321. Enough to pay my shoe order but not celga. So next pay I'll be getting the custom cardigans up and going, I really need quick cash. Here's hoping people want cute cardis then.

Today's run down:
I woke up at 8.30am. I text Anna to see if she wanted to meet up. We arranged for 1pm outside the Vue cos she had to go see her Gran. Come 11.30am she text me to ask if I wanted to go eat some place first, that was fine. But I was behind time looking for tights in my parents house (nightmare), so I called her to ask if I could meet her outside her Gran's cos I was late. She hadn't even had her shower yet, so we agreed to meet outside the library at 1pm. SO I'm there, she's not, then she calls me. She's still at home, so I go up to her house to get her.
And you can just tell what happens next.
We get into town rather late and by the time we finish lunch and get to the Vue we've missed the start of all the films and the next showings aren't for another 2-3hrs.
Fuck that Dear!
We go home and we're at mine for like 10min when she gets a call that she has to go visit her Gran. I'm exausted and I get really freaked out by her Gran. So I ain't going.
That took up most of my day.

The last few hours I've been listening to PJ Harvey and knitting. I can't believe it took me so long to finally listen to some PJ Harvey. She's like a mix between Tori Amos, Regina Spektor and Rasputina and I'm loving it. I'm really into the 'Rid of me' album.

I've also been on youtube a lot the last few days watch Xsparkage's channel. Her website (www.xsparkage.com) is addictive too! I've thrown a lot of my make-up out cos, I'd had it for over 4yrs. And for things like lipgloss, eye linner, mascara and foundation, that's pretty gross. And after watching Leesha's channel and reading the blog, I've just been so inspired. I actually wore some make-up today that wasn't just foundation and eye liner. It's introducing me to a whole new world of self expression.

Also before I go Random Thought:
I've been wanting pastel coloured cardigans for ages but I can't find anywhere that makes them in a colour other than Pink. So I've began knitting my own. I was wondering if anyone would be interested in comissioning cardigans.
It would be a flat fee of £30. Available in white, baby: pink, blue, lilac, yellow and mint. You could also choose between 4ply, Double knit and mother pearl double knit (which has a strand of silvery ply running through)
Estimated prodution time is between 24-36hrs of work.
If you might be interested let me know, and I'll make an official sales post on the sales comm.

Anyways It's Joanna's second last day tomorrow Yay!

So I'm feeling a lot better than I did in my last post.
I went out with Anna yesterday and that really cheered me up. We went to Jimmy Chungs's for Breakfast/lunch and and I almost ate a really sharp bone lol. I swear it almost cut my cheek.
Then we walked down Union street and watched hundreds of bikers go by. Anna wanted to go shopping and she ended up spending almost £100. She literally walked in to Miss selfidge picked the first pair of skinny looking jeans in a size 10, checked the length and bought them without trying them on. These jeans are £25.
She always says she really want skinny jeans but she never actually buys them. She picks up slim fit jeans and squees OMG SKINNIES, but when she picks up proper drainpipes she thinks they're disgusting. That's Anna all over though, she'll say she desperately wants something and when she has it she'll get bored really quick. Like she keeps eyeing up a jacket in H&M which is like £40, she used to own a jacket the same style but gave it away to another friend of her's cos she claimed it looked chavvy. The only difference is this new one is black. So I talked her out opf buying it cos her mum would kill her.

I met Anna's boyfriend too. he's called Lee, I dunno how old he is, but he looks like 18. He works at the Tesco in Westhill and lives in a forest beside Peterculter. That's right he's a little rich boy. He has an HD tv and a Bluray player. He's nice though, kinda quiet. But that could be cos he'd just met me. Anna already wants to change him. She wants him to grow his hair out cos he looked better with it longer. So I don't think they'll last.

Anyhoos time to get ready for work.

Yuh Huh!
I was at Anna's house last night and her folks had invited over thier friends. They took the 7yr old gand-daughter, Jordan, with them. We had Jordan up in Anna's room so she could play the rabbit and we put on the High school Musical soundtrack for her. Being seven, she adores HSM. So to be nice we asked her stuff about it. I asked her who her favourite character was, suprise suprise it was Troy. Then I ask why no one ever chooses Chad.
Jordan says: Because he's got fuzzy hair and dark skin.
Out of the mouths of babes
I was so suprised that I laughed, then Anna and I gave her the whole racial equality talk. I think it just went over her head.
But I don't think her parents would really care anyway, this is a kid that has a Bebo six years before she legally should and her parent allow it. In fact her Gradma pretty much bragged about it cos lil'Jordan plays chess on her Bebo.

Anyway, I met up with Anna again today and we went into town. She had to get her tongue bar changed so we went to Retros. OMG the corsets they have in there, I'm in love.
Actually I'm gonna go see if I can find them cheaper on-line.

I'll report my findings later,

So here's my week in a nutshell:
*Monday*
Off Work, so I spent the day knitting and watching the Gilmore Girls (I bought it on dvd). Then I went out to meet Anna, her sister Ashley and Claire(Ashley's friend). We went for a meal at the Triple Kirks, they wouldn't serve us cos we didn't have ID and we only wanted food. We ended up in the Old School House and I had Mac and Cheese which was yummy.
Then we went to see Marley and Me. It was better than I expected and it made me cry at the end. Which wasn't good as my contacts nearly fell out.

*Tuesday*
Off work again. Met up with Richard and went to get some art supplies. Then he took me round to Lauren's flat which was total LULZ. Went to class, drew like a 3 year old and got praised for it.

*Wednesday*
Cleaned the Congo and scrubbed the floor in Rambos with Joanna and Meggan(the new girl). We were there from 10am til 9pm. And Meggan is pissing me off so bad. She won't stop asking stupid questions and it took her 5hrs to clean 3 metres of plants (which is pitiful as the rest of us covered half the course)

*Thursday*
Work. There aren't a lot of parties this weekend so there's not muck work to do during the week. It something like 27 ballons a day, the last few weeks it's been almost 100 balloons a day. And Gillian is being a total ass lately, Joanna says it's because of her position in the company. Gilian is a duty manager so she's not allowed to be friendly with the staff, but she doesn't have to be a bitch.

*Friday*
Off Work Again! so here I am. I'm gonna have a bath soon. Go into town and buy more wool. I want to make some cardigans to sell, cos I really want somethin from the strawberry Jam series and I want some AP socks.

Good Morning Dollies
I've learned something new this morning.
How to increase my max bid with Celga.
Simply place another bid request for the same item with your new max bid.
I thought it'd be treated as a whole new bid request and that I'd have to pay the whole deposit again. But it automatically went through as increasing max bid and I onlu had to pay half or what I'd increased my original bid by (if that makes sense, maybe it's to early for me to make sense lol)

Anyways I hope you're all doing something nice for Mothering Sunday. All I had gotten my mum was a card. She is THEEEEEEEEE most difficult person to get a gift for. I mean how can you get a gift for someone who doesn't like anything. So I bought dinner last night for us both. A large Domino's vegi supreme and a portion of cookies and syrup each. OMG those cookies om nom nom. Personally I think if they came with 6 cookies instead of 4, it would just make it perfect. Next time I might just make my own cookies and buy the syrup tubs.

I'm going home to Nick's tonight although, depending what time I start on monday, I might not get to see him as he finishes work a like midnight. I've got a load of new music added to my external hard dive. I checked it last night and there's almost 35,000 songs on there.My Lawd. I really should get that I-pod soon. I want a classic 160gb but I can't decided on white or black, I wish it came in pink. I'll find out the dimentions and see if I can get a cute cover for it.

I'm up way too early. I didn't mean to get up until 9am and woke up just before 8am(it's now only just half past) Meh.

It's weird, after using a laptop for like 2 weeks I'm finding the PC keyboard a bit stange. (Lol like that makes sense)
I've gotten a bit obssesed with Lady GaGa recently. I have:
*The Fame
*The Fame deluxe edition
*Disco Heaven (collection of earlier work)
I've had Starstruck playing in my head all day.

( wants and more )

Plan for this week
*Tuesday - Bank, shopping(need art supplies, home, Ebay listing.
*Place order for Swimmer goodies.
Hand in College application, before it gets too damn late.

I'm so excited to have the internet here, that this is a completely unneeded update lol.

So last night I went to my life-drawing class, Mike gave me a lift so I was really early. I was actually waiting for my lecturer for once. And I got to see our model fully clothed for a change. He's a lot better looking clothed than he is naked. This week we started working with colour, using warm and cold colours for shading. I used oil pastels for the first time in a few years (I'm very rusty with them)My task piece was crap and then we did a hour study. I liked my study until I put colour to it, now it kinda looks like a kids drawing. There's an older guy there called Max, he works as an illistrator. His work in class is amazing, and he likes my work. He says I have a lot of natural talent but I just lack experience with my work. It's been a while since I've had such a complement.

Ugh, this laptop is buggin. The battery doesn't even last 2hrs. I'll have to time it and see if it's gonna be worth taking out any where. Cos I'll always have to have the charger with me.

Meh. Time to get ready for work. Joanna fucked up on the rota and only gave herself one day off and gave me three, so I was asked to give up today. Which sucks cos I already had my week planned. I was gonna go home today after walking Nick to his community service. We slept in so he didn't go (even if you're only a minute late they'll turn you away) So yeah.

So I went back to PC World on Sunday with Nick. We picked a nice shiney black Dell laptop. It came with a T-mobile unlitied* contract and after 2years we get to keep the Laptop for free.
Then came the annoying part. The assistant was doing the credit check and I failed due to a multiple address match in their system.(this happens in blocks of flats that use the alphabet to name each flat) The assistant call up T-mobile and they were going to register me manually.
Then came the really annoying part. They couldn't verify my address, they couldn't verify my account and so couldn't verify who I was. They asked for a £350 deposit for security purposes, but the assistant got them down to a £100 deposit on the condition that I didn't make any intenational calls on the sim for the first 30 days. I promise I won't - I have no numbers to call abroad so it's not really an issue. I didn't have the money cos I didn't get paid until yesterday. So we went back today and paid it and took it home and I'm using it now.

It thought I'd like having mobile internet, but it need a good signal to work well. It's sometimes almost as slow as dial-up. And when it doesn't have a good enough signal it'll boot me off. Meh, maybe it'll just take some getting used to. On the plus side it has built in Wifi, so next time I go to Starbucks I can get internet access for the price o a few coffees.

At least now I don't have to walk 5miles to get the internet lol.

My new dreads from plastic coture hair.
They're being sent out tomorrow, so they'll get here by the end of the month hopefully. Just in time for the weather to get warmer.

Today is the day I swap rooms with Brian and Emma. The health visitor came round yesterday and woke us all up a 10am on a Sunday. I had only gotten home from work 11 hrs earlier so that was really early for me. The HV bitched that the flat was too small to raise a baby in, which is rediculous. My brother and I were born and raised in a smaller flat and we shared our bathroom with a beetle nest.
I'm looking at this as an oppertunity to down-size my massive collection of junk. I have a parcel full of unopened Lipsmackers, boxes of clothes that havent been worn in a year, over 3yrs worth of magazines and more notebooks than I'll ever need.

____________________________________
I start my night class tomorrow night, I'm realy looking forward to it. I have no idea what I'm supposed to bring so I'm just taking my sketch pad and pencils. I get paid the day before my next class so if I need anything else I can buy it then.


I suppose I should go get dressed now and start throwing out the junk. There will be a sales post maybe tomorrow with a buch of stuff too good to throw.

So acording to the sign in it's been 2 weeks since my last post. And not much has changed.
Money wise; I am still broke, but I get paid on monday.
College wise; I'm enrolled in figure and life drawing. But Fabric and Textiles was cancelled as the lecturer is on maternity leave.
Home wise; Emma's baby is due very soon and I still have to switch rooms with them.
work wise; Things are getting better
Social life wise; Omg a pulse... a heart beat... it's alive!!!lol
Nick wise; amazing.

Only thing left to tackle is Candy Scars, which I haven't had the time or space to deal with.
All shall be done in the next few weeks as there is a bunch of stuff I want from Angelic Pretty, but I need the money first.

Speaking of AP; I was really pissed off last time I checked they're site to discover half of the items I have been lusting after and saving for had DISAPPEARED. Seriously WTF! I will not miss out this time regardless of exchange rate ( which should hopefully get better soon)

That's right a BABY! It's not mine. My brother's new girlfriend is like 7 months pregnant and she's due feb 14th 09.
I have to swap rooms with them so that there's room for a crib and things. Brian's room is a third of the size of mine, so I'm gonna have to get rid of a lot of junk before the switch otherwise I won't have room to breathe in there.
I probably won't be able to breathe in there until I vent it out, especially with the amout Brian smokes.

The most Annoying thing about having Brian and Emma staying is that the eat electricity. Before they came home we colud make £22 of electric last 3 weeks - even with me pulling a few all-nighters on the pc. But now with them play their xbox 360 24/7 we're using £13 of electric a week - as if money wasn't tight enough.

Blegh
meh

Christmas has totally creeped up on me this year, it only feels like it was bonfire night a few weeks ago :(
The only things I have to do is get Dad's present, pickup up Nick's present from the post office and then wrap every thing. I can't spend a lot on Christmas this cos I have college to save up for.
That's right- after backing out two college courses, I've decided to take two part-time courses to make up for lost time. I want to take fashion & textiles and Life drawing. Together both courses will cost me £315 (just over two weeks wages) but I'm also eligable for ILA so I could get money off.
I really can't wait to go back and start learning things again, I might be able to salvage some of my life back. Since I got a job 2 years ago my social life took the back seat, since I left college I'd be lucky to even talk to my friends once a month. Nick is the only person I every see, I feel a bit smothered sometimes. It's okay for him to go ages without 'going out' with friends, he LIVES with one of his friends (and he wonders why I get cranky).
Anyways
Candy Scars Update:
So far I have made 3 sets of nails, over 40 earrings and I'm half way through the first set of dread falls. They're kinda lolita themed with candy floss colours. I just need to make another 30 dreads give them a final seal and they'll be ready to go. Then I can get started on the black and red set, I'll use whatevber hair is left over to make smaller dread sets.

I'd better get ready for work. I don't think there's a lot of parties today, but then there's also Xmas Wonderland to deal with. And with it being the weekend before the big day...It's gonna be busy.
Wish me luck

Woot!
*I got my new Elle and Vogue today*
Won't be long til they get devoured.

I was going to post this ages ago, but never got round to it
I have a new Bebo!
http://www.bebo.com/lovely_bugs
Not exactly exciting stuff. I don't really have time for the internet...or life for that matter.
A new law has been passed in the UK that all persons under the age of 16 must have a work permit. Which means until the work permits have all been filled in and processed Ramboland only has 5 members of staff.
Such Fun! ¬_¬

Just now I'm trying to pass the time before I go pick Nick up from work. He finishes at 10pm. So I've got a while.
I know I said I wouldn't buy things from ebay, but I have a project in mind. I was looking at the Angelic Pretty website and fell in love with the earmuffs and it gave me an idea for purses. So I'm purchasing some fluffy fabric, hopefully it'll turn out well.

anyhoos i'm now wordless.

My body clock and memory have been really out wack lately, most not remembering what time my shifts start. Like today I'm pretty much ready to go, think I start at 9am...no I start at 9.45am, that's a whole 2hrs away. So yea... I has time to kill. I could have had a bath 30mins ago but nooo.. it'll haveto wait til tonight I don't have time now.
Meh I was gonna post this like tomorrow, but seeing as I'm here I may as well. I finally compiled my Lolita wish list
