What a well-earned break!

Had two weeks in a row ram-packed with overtime and now I'm finally back to normal hours!

YAAAAAY!


The weather is beautiful! I'm planning on lieing in the garden all day tomorrow, reading 'The End of Mr Y' and getting a sunburnt face.


:D


Also...


Check out the new Gok Wan's from work and red lippy. I don't know about the lippy all that much but I love the good ol' Gok's. He's getting one thing right at least.

Two days!

I'M FINALLY GETTING EXCITED ABOUT MY BIRTHDAY ON SATURDAY!

Went into Manc on Tuesday to have a nosey around for pretty stuff for the weekend. Spent £100...


:(


... of which, I don't have, £50 on a dress that didn't fit. I was determined to find a way of making it fit, but I just simply cannot wear a zip-up dress until I've lost a little bit of weight. There was no way that that zip was actually going to go all the way up my back.


But it wasn't a completely wasted trip. I picked up a new going-out bag, that I was in dire need of i.e. I was sick of wearing the Primark one that nearly every girl on the planet has. I got a pair of magic knickers and handed out my CV to Specsavers which I had the interview for today.


Today, I decided that I wasn't destined to wear a red dress for my 22nd after all and refused point blank to buy a black one. So I settled for this one, a damn sight cheaper than a lot of the others instore. It doesn't look much in the picture but on, it looks reeeeally nice.


:)


So, YES, I am starting to get ridiculously excited about Saturday night. Admittedly a lot of people have pulled out at the last minute, but that's life.


Whether I make it to the casino or not at the end of the night, I know that it's gonna be a corker.


Also, may end up going to see HARRY POTTER & THE DEATHLY HALLOWS on Sunday afternoon as well as the puuuuuuur-fect hangover cure... Let's just hope I don't fall asleep in it, I may cry with disappointment with myself.


EEEEEEEEEK!

Job Interview: Jane Norman MANCHESTER

O.K. So I have another job interview lined up! Got a phonecall from a lovely lady at Jane Norman in Manchester Arndale Centre last week for an interview tomorrow. Bit excited. Got the call the day after I gave them my CV. Fingers crossed, this is gonna be a good 'un.

And what I've enjoyed the most about researching the clothes line is that the lady asked me to produce a moodboard of all of the main fashion trends at the moment and how they relate to the clothes that are designed and sold in Jane Norman.


Took me down Memory Lane to all those days when I was sat like the nerd that I was in the middle of Miss Smith/Mrs Firth's Textiles classes doing elaborate moodboards that in NO WAY reflected the end shitty product.


:)


But it's been cool and relaxing times putting this moodboard together. I like to think that I am a little stylish... Even though all the times I buy ELLE magazine I'm either crying over the price of a particular item of clothing that I believe I cannot and should not have to live without OR weeping over the size of the mini models on the pages.


:/


My moodboard is O.K. Then again everything is when it comes to me - too much of a perfectionist, I can never let anything go and can always find something that I could do better... But I'm happy with it.


I'm going to knock their socks off regardless. I'm a wonderful employee to have in any store. The Disney Store proved that. I just couldn't afford to keep it on...


Let's hope that in a couple of days time, I will fiiiiiiiinally have that excuse to move to Manchester after all.


Wish me luck.
