Work. Exhausting. *dies ( Read more... )

 Yesterday was my first day working at Primark. I worked 'recovery'...basically picking up and rearranging the stuff people chuck on the floor or put back in the wrong place. It was quite exhausting really, considering the kind of customer influx Primark has...but I did get to overhear some interestingly hilarious flashes of conversation. The most ( Read more... )

 So, as promised, here I am to write all about my London trip.

The first day pretty much adhered to Murphy's law.

As I may or may not have stated here before, I am pretty broke at the moment, and have a huge electricity bill to pay next week. I know, I know, it is suicide for broke people to visit London, but I had plenty to occupy me that did not ( Read more... )

Much fun was had with snow angels, sledding, falling through snow into hidden streams et al, but I never actually saw it fall out of the sky, which is what I ( Read more... )

Yes, so in my last post, I showed much enthusiasm about making updates, being more regular on LJ, recording trips, yada yada yada. And why, you might well ask, have I not done so? Quite simply because, I do not yet have a laptop in my possession. Correct. I have been in the UK for over a month and have been unable to do as simple a thing as get my ( Read more... )

Where have I BEEN?!

But, wtf, last night my journal was nice and clean, this morning...there are ADS on the right side?! Nooo! Make them go away! I had better hurry up and renew the paidness of my account. Shit!
