So, when the going gets tough, the tough go shopping.

As anyone who's lived with me can verify, I have an incredibly bad habit of having a major shopping spree whenever things are going particularly badly. For some reason, I always feel that things won't be quite so scary if I have exactly the right outfit ( Read more... )

I just started to update with my usual blather, then realised that I honestly have nothing amazingly earth-shatteringly exciting to say... except that I am so, so, so very tired.

Just one more shift at work until I'm a free woman. I can honestly say, hand-on-bible-over-heart, I have no regrets about handing my notice in when I did. I hate my job, I don't want to be there, and the sooner I'm out of the entire situation the better, basically! I do like the people and will miss them, but not enough to stay! And all the ( Read more... )

Never thought I'd say this, but... I actually have a new-found respect for Paris Hilton (just in case there's anyone who hasn't seen the potential President Hilton's response! to the John McCain ad!):



This week's been good so far; Mum and I saw Gone With The Wind at a one-off showing in the cinema on Monday, and oh my GOD it was incredible. ( Read more... )

I've just applied to Worcester; I'm roughly a week ahead of my estimate...

Please please please please please please PLEASE let this work out!

*prays*

Applying to Leeds now... but come on Worcester!
