Well I have now had my initial induction to the wonderful world of River Island.  It seems like it's going to be ok :)  I'm pretty pleased that the uniform involves jeans - it should mean being a bit comfier than I was in Debenhams.  I will also not suffer the usual problem of needing belt loops and not having any.  The whole time I was at ( Read more... )

 Bye, February.  Feel free to not come back ( Read more... )

 "Rejection kills, disappointment only maims" - from The Truth About Cats and Dogs

I watched The Truth About Cats and Dogs again for the first time in years - it was my favourite rom-com when I was about, oh, twelve or so.  And it kind of stands the test of time, I still liked it even though it's a) very 90's and b) so cringey in parts.*  It's good ( Read more... )

 Phew, I am a tiredy lady.  Work is, well, hard work!  But good fun.  I spent quite a bit of time today trying to help a gaggle of girls find shoes for a wedding.  They wanted matching shoes and were all sized 7 or 8.  And, for some reason, most of the shoes in the stock room are size 4.  Unless you need a 4 in which case they're a 6.  Cue me ( Read more... )

 Happy Hallowe'en for tomorrow, everybody!  Hope there are pleasantly spooky times had by all.
I'm pretty gutted that Hallowe'en isn't really happening for me this year.  For the last four years I've managed to have incredibly fun, drunken, be-costumed plans that have pretty much fulfilled my many halloween dreams.  There have been ups and downs, ( Read more... )

 I got the job!  It's 16 hours + overtime and I have now officially signed off.  TTFN, Jobseekers!  I can't say how pleased I am ( Read more... )

 I am le tired.

Just finished a 2 week retail course last friday, which included an interview at Debenhams.  And I'm still not fully recovered.  Being that nervous really takes it out of you.  Fingers crossed I get the job!  Not only does it seem like a fairly decent place to work, friendly people and all that... I'm just fed up of dealing with the ( Read more... )

Still having a good time with my unemployment.  Sorry, I'm not unemployed, I'm a Lady who Lunches.  In her pyjamas.  While watching Jeremy Kyle.  I don't care what anybody says, it's a triumph of TV.  It's one of the few 'messy lives' type shows (think Jerry Springer if you're not familiar).  So rare because I'm 90% sure JK is way more messed up ( Read more... )

 Dear Law and Order: UK,

Thanks for giving viewers like myself the chance to ogle not only stubbly scruffy Rupert Graves but also groomed be-suited clean Rupert Graves.  Your offering is most excellent.  We are pleased.  Nom.

Hugs and kisses,

Maybe I should start a blog solely dedicated to all the cop/mystery shows I watch?  

 Spotify has started talking to me in Welsh.  Who told them I was planning to take lessons?  Ok, it makes sense what with my location being Wales, but lots of people in Wales don't speak Welsh.  That includes actual permanent residents, like myself, who've massively failed at the whole keeping the language alive as well as non-permanent types like ( Read more... )
