Today has been an almost-perfect reminisce of summer. I had the day off work because I went in on Sunday, so Fiona and I got up early this morning to glorious sunshine, and headed into town. I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I spent £72 on clothes, and all I have to show for it is a skirt, two tops and a cardigan, but I needed them. I bought lunch ( Read more... )

Today's been a tiring day. Argued with Fiona for most of it. Though I know, logically, that it's because of my late nights and exhausting days, I still get that little voice in the back of my head telling me lethargy is a bad omen. Will that ever go away ( Read more... )

I've been waiting all day for the elusive iPhone & iPod Touch 2.0 Software Update. Apparently, Apple hadn't accounted for the fact that half the planet awoke early this morning especially to hit that check for updates button, so now their servers are dead due to a severe overload. You'd think the people who came up with multi-touch technology would ( Read more... )

We went shopping today in Leicester, primarily because most of the clothes I got for my birthday didn't fit and had to go back. Fiona and I went off together while our parents went to the boring places like Marks & Spencers, BHS and John Lewis. We went to Shake It Baby, which I dearly missed during my time at home, along with various clubs that we ( Read more... )

Ten Things I Wish I Could Say to Ten Different People Right Now:
1. Thank you.
2. I'm tired of being the only one making the effort. I give up.
3. They miss you every day. I hope you liked your bear. Your sister's getting big now.
4. I wish I knew why I still care about you. Don't push me, I'll trust you again when you give me reason to.
5. You always ( Read more... )

Just got rid of two binbags full of junk from my room. Still not done, but hope to be (mostly) by the end of the weekend.

I've had a 23.5" x 31.5" canvas hanging around since I was in like, Year 12, and I've finally found a way to put it to use. After finishing my room, somewhere between redoing my Myspace layout and starting my new art journal, I' ( Read more... )

Sunday was my great auntie Dolly's ninetieth birthday. Her granddaughter, Laura, organised a little party for her over at Stanion Village Hall. There was the most impressive variety of yummy looking gateauxs, an amazing buffet, and a brass band (auntie Dolly loves them) who played Happy Birthday to her and she said she felt like the Queen. The most ( Read more... )

Okay, so I seriously underestimated this job. Three weeks now seems a heck of a short amount of time for the amount we have to learn before we can go out and take calls. There's so much to remember and think about, and it takes your full concentration, all of the time. Apparently we'll be getting only one twenty minute break during the whole five ( Read more... )

I started my new job today. It's just temporary, until I go back to uni in September. I'm working at Avon, in their contact centre. Apparently a bunch of people are being made redundant because they're moving the contact centre to India, so they're hiring temporary call agents until the new place is up and running. We haven't done much yet; we have ( Read more... )
