Hats off

So in a brief break from all the work I have to do I popped into town with Richard. We wandered around and had a very nice coffee, I can heartily recommend Costa’s Maple Syrup Latte, and then called in at Sainsbury’s so I could get a sandwich for my packed lunch tomorrow (I’m going to Knowsely Safari Park*). And on our hunt for the prepacked sandwiches I found these:

They came with little woolly hats on! I cannot tell you how excited this made me, but I’m sure you can guess. I spent ages trying to decide which hats to get. No idea what to do with them once I’ve drank the drink but they are still so very cute. Innocent smoothies are amazing.

*yes it does count as educational. We’re looking at ungulates as part of my Evolution and Behaviour module. I hope there are cute fluffy things……

Yes I know, long time no blogg but with all fairness I haven’t had any internet access since I moved a month agao. When I have been online it’s to print out journels and such likes for uni, because I am a good girl 🙂
I am very well and happy, thanks for asking. I hope everyone else is good too. Hopefully now I will be blogging more regularly but don’t hold out any hopes just yet 🙂
Newyays I haven’t done an awful lot today so I’d best go be productive.
you know you love me xoxo

I only smile in private

Ok so yet again I haven’t blogged in aaaaages. *looks embarrassed. With all fairness I have been very very busy flitting from home to Richards to work and back again.

This last week before I go back to university is hectic. Richards spent most of the week packing and is currently repainting his bedroom to hide the fact he’s had a million pictures on his wall. The biggest bug bare would be getting rid of his furniture.The second hand shop who originally told us they’d collect it have basically decided they can’t be arsed with it. Annoyingly this means he’s had to give most of it to the girlfriend of his current housemate. The annoying thing is she hasn’t even offered him a penny. Which seems a little bit cheeky of her but there’s not much we can do when we need it gone fast.

I can’t remember what else has happened to me recently. I managed to pass my theory test which means I will be carrying on driving lessons in Lancaster, regardless of how futile it sometimes seems.
I’m still working at ASDA and waiting to find out if they can transfer me to the store at uni but I think I’ll be looking for a job in town as well. It’s closer than ASDA which means I could pick up the odd weekday shift. We shall see.

I can’t think of anything else I’m supposed to say, but look I blogged 🙂
Now does someone want to help me pack?

Packing it all in

I am finding this whole packing lark very difficult. I don’t like picking out my clothes for a whole week ahead of schedule, but it’s done. Shoes are another tricky thing, but kinda done. I’m very much a silk scarf girl, so I’ve packed a couple, and my pearls and Tiffany heart.

But then it gets harder, what books to take??? Given I’ve owned most of the Gossip Girl series for about 3 years now but have yet to read any some of those, the first three in particular, are coming. But I need something more highbrow. Bill Bryon’s “A Walk In The Woods” is coming, and so is Mr Dawkins and his Selfish Genes.

You know what, I shall just leave it for the moment. Unprepared never killed anyone. Right?

Apparently I’m 6977 days old. About the same as stilton then.

And Richard is 12642 days old. He really is ancient!

Every moment that I love you is a moment, a moment of truth to hold on to

Eeeeek I haven’t blogged in ages. It doesn’t help I’m rather busy most of the time. Usually making pizzas or with Richard but mostly busy.

And you’ve missed alot, I’ve booked my theory test, made about fifty million pizzas, have rediscovered my geeky/nerd side, seen Mr Blitz even if ever so briefly…..and I’m sure there’s lots more stuff.

OO I saw Wall-e……it’s brilliant, go see! First time I’ve used Orange Wednesdays and I can’t believe how simple it is.

Richard and I have hit and passed our first year anniversary together last Friday. We went to a local It alien restaurant on Monday to celebrate, which was lovely even if they did have baby chicken and RABBIT on the menu. We don’t often get the time to go on dates, aside from many lunches and brews at Tesco whilst we were in that brief period between friends and lovers we haven’t been on more than about 6 dates. When you spend most of the time just seeing them once a week it’s time together that’s important not how you spend it.

More good news is that he rang ASDA Lancaster back and was told there is most likely a position there for him now. They’ve had a week so the plan is to ring again and confirm some kind of hours. It’s such a relief 🙂 Now just the other million things to sort out.

I go away with the family for a week on Saturday. I’d say yay but I’m not looking forward to not seeing Richard for a whole week. Mobile phone signal is so bad we’ll have very little contact and that is Not Good when we tell each other everything. Even “just running a bath”!! I could do with a week away from rushing around at work so at least it should be restful.

See you soon folks, hope you’re all well.
xoxo

And I said what about breakfast at Tiffany’s?

Alot has happened since my last blogg, I have turned 20, visited the zoo and seen many VERY cute animals, continued to work and make pizzas for a living and plod along with my driving lessons. I’ve seen the ending of the first series of Gossip Girl, so now I’m seeking something to fill the gap of Queen B-have you seen what she’s wearing-craziness that it was. It was nice to see Michelle Trachenburg in something less sweet and innocent too 🙂

Richard and I have hit a snag with our move to Lancaster. Apparently the ASDA in Lancaster hasn’t got any vacancies. Which means he currently has no job there. Rather worrying. We’ve got our fingers crossed that something turns up at ASDA. In the mean time we’re working on a shiny CV to send people in Lancaster before we move. Not something we needed really.

Hopefully the lovely people in Merkinland hit by the earthquake are OK too. Jane that means you so poke me to show you’re OK!!!

I was going to leave you with some zoo pictures but after poking around my laptop I found I haven’t yet put them on here. Ooops, maybe next time 🙂

you know you love me xoxo

I can’t decide if you should live or you should die

Another break in the blogging but I’m sure you will forgive me. I’ve been plodding my way through a 35 hour week, and all but 5 hours of that is done 🙂 It hasn’t been too bad, but I’m very very glad next week I’ve just got my contracted hours and that’s it. I need the sleep, the bags under my eyes are huge! Being up at half six when your body isn’t used to it isn’t fun.

Other than work I’ve continued the grand sort out of my bedroom and list a fair bit on ebay. So far I’ve raised nearly £45, which should go someway towards a Channel silk scarf or some other treat (and if it’s the Channel it’s a Treat with a capital T). The only thing I’ve used my hard earned pennies for is an academic diary because try as I may I can’t find ANY in the shops below £3. And yes, I am a cheap skate. I’m a poor student.

Last night was a staff pub quiz held at Madison’s Wine Bar, (local readers will know where that is). I’ve not been in Madison’s since it’s revamp, and might not have been in prior, but it was never painted in a shiny lovely light really. I must say it is lovely inside, and rather than a loud raucous pub, it seems to be a lovely place to go for a quiet drink.
As for the quiz my team consisted of myself, Richard, Richards work friend Colin, and my work friends Katie and Jane. Unfortunately for Katie and myself the questions were very much aimed at the 35+ audience, so we knew very little, but Colin and Richard seemed to have it all pretty much covered. Overall we came third, beaten by the managers team, (who I don’t doubt knew at least some questions prior) and the home shopping team, which had 2 geniuses on it. So not bad, and it was brilliant to see Katie again, I haven’t seen her since Easter properly.

Now before I go I want you all to close your eyes and wish for nice weather this weekend. Preferably Saturday. It’s my birthday you see and I want to go to the zoo. I can’t go any other weekend because Richard won’t be able to get another weekend off for about six months. (One weekend off in four my arse)
Thanks for the weather help in advance 🙂

And the results are in….

Well folks, I got my results and you can all rest easy now.

I PASSED!!!

With a 2.1 🙂

Don’t I just kick ass sometimes?

He smiles it’s like the radio

Well tomorrow I get my results. I’m not thinking about it too much really. It’s after 🙂 Hopefully it won’t take too long to get them online. It better not.

Not alot is new with me. Been to see Hancock, Will Smith is gorgeous as ever and I rather didn’t expect the plot. Nice to see him doing something more grown up, I still recall the Fresh Prince days. Went with Chrish, Jess, Liz and her friend Dan. Then to Frankie and Bennys, which is the first time I’ve eaten a full meal there. Nice, can’t fault the service but I rather feel the prices are a bit much. It was a good night though, much fun was ahd by all AND I didn’t walk into the wrong toilet this time…..

I’m pretty much all unpacked from uni, aside from a bag of shoes which I really don’t have anywhere to put. I’m slowly sorting everything out, ebaying as much of it as possible, but plenty is still heading to the charity shops.

And as for my favourite topic, Richard, well things are wonderful as always. We marked 11 months yesterday 🙂 Possibly the best 11 months of my life. Certainly don’t know what I’d do without him.

I should head to bed now, I don’t know whether I’ll be crawling out of bed very early to watch for results. I can see much pressing of the F5 key
