I'm so skint right now that I actually can't afford the 79p it would cost to buy a song I want from iTunes. I know all this saving is so I can hopefully have a bit of spare cash to set up home with Anton next month, but it's so depressing to know no matter how careful I am, even if I spend no money between now and then, it STILL won't be nearly ( Read more... )

After several weeks of being unable to breath through my nose 90% of the time (for this I blame a variety of things: pollen, cat hair, dust etc. etc.) I have finally discovered a saviour: Airwaves! Oh minty gum, how I love thee. Even if you only clear my nose for a few minutes at a time it's a damn sight better than nothing. And it means I can stop ( Read more... )

OH GOD. I've spent like, four hours making pirate skull 'n' crossbones cupcakes for the new piratey cupcake cases I got. Only I decided it was a good idea to cut out 16 sets of bones using only a paring knife and a template. One more and I would have literally crossed the border into giggling lunacy.

Today has not been a good day in terms of paid work! I've recieved two seperate rejection emails, one from a school which had advertised for summer canteen staff and the other from... Mcdonalds.

•  Anton's birthday went really well, except that we lost Nottingham and gave up and went to Leicester instead XD But I got an engraver (which still hasn't been on a test run, boo) so it worked out well in the end. And now he is 21 which ( Read more... )

I always fail at regular updates when I'm home XD

So here in short is what's been going on:

• I am becoming a dog-walking afficionado. Never having owned a dog, I've never really taken one for a walk properly before. I've walked a rabbit, but that's a different story. It's nice to get out in the sunshine, even when she insists on sniffing everything ( Read more... )

I need to learn to chill out. I'm tirrrred of letting this one person get me so damn angry and it's wearing me out. I should just... let it go, and allow other people to fight their own battles. I'm pretty slow to anger most of the time; I have a fairly good control of my responses too in most situations. But have you ever met someone who seems to ( Read more... )
