Just a quick post today, I'll hopefully do another before the weekend, no pinky promises on that though! Still not feeling too hot, but I'm excited for either chicken chow mein or something yummy with hash browns for my tea, hopefully followed by some pancakes ala Mother Hignett :)
Spent yesterday feeling so crap, did a little bit of work, and had to go the Post Office today and send off some Amazon sales and pick up something to eat.


Popped the shop on my way home to give myself a pick-me-up, grabbed Glamour mag with the mild liquid facial soap, sounds ideal for my temperamental skin so I'll let you know how it works out.
Also some food, I am a fatty so this will be demolished in about an hour, I often ignore the "Made to share" on food (the duck wrap was gone as soon as I got home)


my ELF package was here when I got back, perked me right up! I got a blush in Blushing Rose, Lip Primer & Plumper, matt top coat varnish and a lip stain in Heartbreaker. Again I'll try all of them out and possibly do a quick post sometime soon.


This is my baby, my new phone. It's taken some getting used to, being an actual square and all, but I love it. The charge isn't perfect, but it's an EcoMoto so I think I need to adjust the settings or something?
Downloaded loads of funny games and got all my shortcuts, etc set out, it's pretty snazzy once I got used to not hanging up on people using my face :')


Top - Ressurrection; Skirt - H&M; Cardigan - Matalan; Necklace - gift.

Outfit for running my errands today - didn't like my face though, but I might start putting my hair up like this so I don't have to straighten it as much.

I've not been feeling inspired over the last couple of weeks, I know a lot of people have said been feeling the same, at least I know I'm not alone. I don't feel I'm getting anywhere, I get up not wanting to do anything productive or anything that can help me in the long term for whatever reason, and I know it's not just my natural laziness rearing its ugly head, it's that I haven't really thought of any obvious goals I want to achieve.

This week has been my reading week off uni, but it's gone so fast I don't feel I've done anything worthwhile, mainly because I still haven't found a part-time job to tide me over until I graduate, which is frustrating as it's not like I haven't been trying. Places seem more interested in hiring people fresh out of high school with no idea of how to treat customers, how to deal with difficult situations and working in retail in general. No disrespect if you have a part-time job straight from high school, you're lucky to have it, it's just irritating when you have over three years experience working under a busy, harsh Customer Services environment. Just sucks that my hard work isn't wanted anywhere, and I mean
anywhere.

But onto happier things, I'm going to post my Friday Favourites each week in order to keep my blog rolling. Probably not the best time to start it as I begin my work placement next Friday for ten weeks, but I'll be doing my best to keep up! It'll include photos, quotes, things I've seen and done over the past week that have made me smile.
Nothing negative, just positive things!

I have a couple for this week but I'll keep it short an sweet for you!



Jack's just had some of the best news in the world, I'm not sure if I can talk about it yet, but when I do I'll be rambling on for a good while! I'm so proud of him, he's been working really hard towards his goals and future, and knows exactly what he wants to achieve in life. He's a really strong person and although he doesn't always know it, he motivates me to better myself and work towards my own goals, no matter how small they are.
All his hard work is going to pay off this year, I'm so proud and happy for him as it's what he deserves ^__^


Since I got my new phone I've hardly put it down. It's weird to get used to as it's a square, but I love it. I've been playing with the camera which as above it's pretty good, I need to fiddle with the settings though. I'll post a photo of it later in the week.



This Summer is going to be so good, I can't wait!
Booking my place on the girls holiday in Turkey for June later this week, so excited!
I've got quite a lot lined up - finish uni in May, Cornwall with Jack in early June, Turkey with the girls late June, France & Barcelona with the family.
Hopefully fit my work placement in there somewhere, along with bbq's, beach days, picnics and staying out late :)


Congrats if you got this far, I didn't realise how much I rambled and ranted on at the start, I'll be posting more positive things once I get back into the swing of it all :)

Sorry I've been absent the last week or so, quite abit has happened, I'm gonna post a short rundown and then some photos from my last few nights out :)
Basically, I went out on Saturday for my best friend Danni's 21st, and somehow lost my phone. I don't know how or when, but I got really pissed off at myself cos I never ever lose anything like that, not even my keys! I didn't go home cos we were having loads of fun, but I got it blocked the next morning, and they agreed to put me on a contract and send me a new phone.

We went to The Flute to meet her uni friends, then onto Cafe Tabac which is small but does a mean rum cocktail - it's deadly! Then onto the Krazyhouse where we met up with her twin brother and our other friends, had an awesome time :)

My new phone came pretty quickly - It was sitting on the hall table when I got home from uni yesterday, which really cheered me up! It's the compact version of the Motorola Flipback, which is a tiny touch screen square, with a flipout qwerty keyboard. I'll post a photo soon, it's really cute :)

The following photos are from Danni's 21st :)







I'm currently sat on my bed, doing uni work and shorthand with SATC in the background, trying really hard not to get distracted and just play with my phone :')
I'm hoping to have sorted a load of clothes to put up on my blog sale by Friday, so keep an eye out for that :)
