Tuesday:
Went to Nottingham with Laura and Mother. It was fun. Thought I was going to be paid but I got a cheque that won't go through til I'm in Croatia. Pants.
Wednesday:
Becka and I had a coffee and a bitch in Barista's. The only place to go to do so. Lisa and I have been there before too, it was fun. I love Lisa.
Becka and I are going to Paris in October!! Beats Magaluf anyday. Cannot wait, red light district, near the Louvre museum and the national gallery. I'm such a dork!
Thursday:
Becka's party. I went round early and I was wearing my super sexy red dress. I got wolf-whistled 3 times on the way down (and only once on the way back but we shan't talk of that). Felt a.m.a.z.i.n.g. I'm sorry, but feminists ruin everything. "Don't open that door for me, don't wolf-whistle me, don't help me with my bags (this one is not recommended in the heart of Nottingham though)". Sometimes we want to be treated like the weaker sex. Even though we all know we'd kick men's asses.
Anyway, party. Was fab, Becka liked her presents, we got a bit tipsy, but NOT drunk because alcohol makes me queasy now. For shame.
Friday:
Had a games day at Lisa's. I got there by bus, the second I'd paid for my ticket, Jon offered me a lift. Sod's law eh?
We started with SingStar and after having a wet lettuce paddy Charlotte became a SingStar DIVA. Singstar 90's has come out. I'm so excited. There's a competition in GAME to win a copy if you get the highest score. I so wanted to do it, I'm not bad, but Laura wouldn't sing so I didn't want to do it on my own. I should be able to afford it, having just been paid and all that, BUT I owe people money. The sort of people who will take my kneecaps if I don't pay them back. The parents.
Saturday:
Work. Erm. I can't really remember. Oh yes, we had these ridiculous targets to meet. You can "claim a sale" if you persuade someone to buy someone, or aid someone in buying something. I had a target of £300. How many did I do? £47. And that was with my own made up rules. I went up to loads of people but we either didn't have the size or they were irritated by my asking and then clammed up and did everything themselves. Customers, honestly.
I re-read some MSN conversations with Dan and on realising how much I miss him, emailed him. :D
Sunday:
On Friday it was my grandparents' 50th anniversary. How cool? 50, incidentally, is also the percentage of marriages that end in divorce. How sad.
I went to work, almost fainted in the changing rooms because I was too hot. Ha, or maybe it was just being round pretty boys all day. :D
Laura and I just attempted to have a bonding session over a board game. We both started deciding which one to play, when we turned round and agreed we'd both rather go on the internet instead. Ha. We have the Croatian holiday to bond. That's a whole week.
I've learnt some Croatian phrases, and also how to say "I would like a coffee with milk" in Mandarin Chinese.
Wow, this is rather a long rant, but it's 6 days worth of crap.
I don't want Ash to leave work. I really don't. It's going to be crap. Seriously crap. He was so lovely today when I was dizzying everywhere. He also fixed the door I sort of broke, he's just a true gent. There are few around but he's definitely one of them.
Hmm. Sigh. Ponder.
