I have had quite a boring week. I've been in work 10-4:30 everyday this week and it has been taking it's toll. It isn't quite working 9-5, but I am on my feet all day and it gets really monotonous. Coming home, having team going to bed, waking up and doing the same the next day. I've had one day off in 5 days, then I am back in again tomorrow. I am not used to this! I'm usually only in uni 6 hours a week. I miss dossing around in my pajamas and surfing the internet for useless things all day and looking at pretty photos. Of course, I don't get paid for that and payday will be veryvery nice!
Me and Scott bathed Pepe on Monday, he is so cute all wet and skinny!
Here he is just out of the bath, what a poser!
I have been baking, as always. I made red velvet cupcakes on Monday, which were nice but the icing was a bit sickly. Yesterday I made Scones aswell because I have never baked Scones for Scott and he loves them. Oh and here is the recipe for the apple and cinammon cupcakes
It's in cups, sorry!

Tonight I'm going to see Sex and The City! I'm going to wear my new shoes that I am still besotted with and hope that the rain doesn't ruin them. It is june now! My birthday next month! Before I know it I'll be back in uni. I went and bought 4 books for my contemporary literature module and am going to start reading them when I finish Midnight's Children (which I am so veryvery engrossed in!).
Hmm books. I want to buy so many books and have a huge library but there is just not the time to read them all in!
