Here we go agian...

...Pixie Lott.
The kinda thing I really shouldn't like...but kinda do when I'm dancing about my room.

That is, the small floor space which I'm slowly managing to clear as I find homes in my room for all of my useless stuff. Just 'stuff'. So far I'm doing better than I thought so snaps for me.
Being fully moved back into my B'ham house I'm keeping busy getting all the little things ticked off my to do list.
We now have a home phone - tick
Virgin have taken back the free channels, no more the Hills - BOO.
CV's handed out, first interview tomorrow - double tick
Negotiated paying bills, no need to worry about debt collectors - tick
Tickets for tonights Hawaiian night purchased - tick, can't wait!
Fixed zips on latest steals purchases - tickk
Great buy for next spring, cream linen playsuit, miss selfridge (top half not a million miles from that Charlotte Ronson one piece in my last post) - ticck
New issue of Lula - tickkkk. (A sign to sway me in the direction of what I've been pondering in terms of a drastic change in appearance?)


I still seem to be putting off the task of sorting out my options for this term. Mainly due to the fact that I know what the result will be, I don't want to ruin my averagely good mood.

Good news is also that my Nana's old camera has still got it, despite the broken light meter.
Lulworth & Camp Bestival (which I still have not been paid for.)




Note. why oh why am I looking so awful and listening to such shit. NOT a good time for people to come a knocking.

Society

... Eddie Vedder
(Off of that marvelous soundtrack to a marvelous film, Into the Wild.)

I have come to the tragic realisation that I am in fact 4 years behind where I need to be and I'm far past the point of return.
And so I will carry on trudging along with what I've set myself up for and will carry on to dream while quietly searching for another way.

Aside from this I have yet again broken my own record for how much I spend on my big Asda shop, although hopefully my £70 worth of food will last me a good few weeks.

Last weekend I took a lovely (6 and a half hour) trip up to St Andrews in Scotland, where my 2 friends Hannah and Linzi are at uni. It's so unbelievably different to life in the city, whereas I walk up the road to find the 'shameless family' sat out on their plastic chairs, Hannah is a minute from the sea and quiet sandy beaches, which Kerry and I agreed is like walking in flour it's so soft.

See ^^ sea right there.
Here's a little bit of how we spent our time...


Savoring a few of the numerous cute cafes scattered around the town, Dutch Chocolate & Ferrero Roche for me yummm


Fancy cocktail bar, Cosmopolitan (left), all fruity looking, oh so misleading. Also went to a few other bars, surprisingly not so many drunken disorderlys I've become so used to living in B'ham and Blackpool. Also went to the student union which is apparently as close as they get to a nightclub, really a far cry from Gatecrasher nights out.

Playing in the flour sand and watching people playing various sports, wishing we were athletic and dreaming up our perfect boyfriends

And of course there was plenty of pretty pretty blossom making the town look ever more picturesque. I took plenty more photos, which I was intending to use in my editorial photography assignment for travel photography, however I fear I may have been swept up with all the other tourists snapping away at all the scenic areas, so there may not actually be much I can use... we shall seee.

In other news I did manage to spend the majority of my 5hour train journeys cropping and resizing images and building bits of my website, just have to figure out how to actually upload it to the web... so simple i'm sure.

The Coast is Always Changing.

...Maximo Park.


When home is good, it's great, when it's dull, it's awfull.

I wish everyday at home was like the past 2 days (minus boring today, which basically hasn't happened).

Women's Needs...

...The Cribs

...When in despair, SHOP SHOP SHOP. I just can't resist, my £7 beauty.

I'm not sure how I've manged to spend so much today. First off I had to pay £16.50 for my dentist to wave his little mirror around my mouth, real off letters and numbers to the dental nurse, and ask how uni is. Fair enough this is my fault for not filling in the form so that I don't have to pay, but it was sooo ridiculously long I'd rather just pay the money! Anyway, defs need to sort that out and get a refund.
Then had 2 hours to kill before my hair appointment, which lead me trailing round all the charity shops (there are at least 10 that I counted!!), looking for a new bag since my fav one broke. Anyway, not much look in finding a replacement but I did pick up another which was quite cute, all embroidered. Then forked out for a new foundation, since leaving all my make up back in Birmingham I've been using one of my mums which is just all wrong for my complexion so it had to be done.
The to the hair dressers, she hasn't done a great lot to it, just a trim of the split ends and fringe re-shape which I might have to mess with myself. I hadn't realized just how long it's gotten either! Right now it's very hair dresser straight, so might have to jump in the shower before getting ready.

Tonight off to Jenx for my birthday celebrations with a few friends (I don't have many). Last night had 'the team' over for new series of the Inbetweeners -was GREAT. I would insert Youtube clip, however they aren't available to my country....yeah that's right a UK programme is not available to UK viewers...wankers.
Also yesterday went for a trip to the seaside, with my good friends AJay and Linzi, we had an ice cream, a paddle in the sea, a walk along the pier and then for a smoothie. Pictures still to come :)
