My week in pictures!

I love some Seasonal M&Ms

I thought I'd be nice and buy my other half a nice wee treat as he collects Victorinox Knives.

My good friend Louise has her first sweetie jar in her first we home.

Picking Tartan with my Dad and soon to be Step-mum for his kilt for his wedding. We settled on Robertson, it's good to keep it in the family!

Buying this little lady from a graphic artisit.

I've wanted these Raybans for so long and my other half surprised me with them. I do have the best boyfriend.

Delicious and healthy dinners.

My sister becoming a qualified Air Traffic Controller with the RAF.

Organising my life and dusting off the ol' Ipod

Preparing myself for job interviews!

Fix The Web!

Well, it appears I'm STILL struggling to get into the habit of blogging. I have the mentality of "If i'm bored of my life, others will be too" so I'm not bothered as of late!

This week I've been applying for jobs like there's no tomorrow, having and getting knocked back from interviews and having a few days where I just want to up and leave.

3 months today I have officially unemployed and it is terrible. I don't know how people live their entire lives without having jobs, I'm starting to go mental!

On a positive note, I've started volunteering for Fix The Web (http://www.fixtheweb.net). It's pretty up my street and I'm excited to get stuck in. You don't have to have great in-depth knowledge of computers or websites but some basic knowledge helps! Head on over and check them out and volunteer! You can help out from the comfort of the couch at home!

In other news, my Dad is coming over on Friday to buy his Kilt for his wedding. I have a feeling I'm going to be very emotional seeing him try them on. I'm your typical "Daddys Girl".

I need  your help fellow bloggers,  my music collection as of late is getting dusty and I'm looking for inspiration to listen to new bands! I'll listen to anything once but my favourite types of music are puck rock, pop rock, hardcore, screamo etc. Pretty much anything you would see on the Scuzz music channel!

Help a sister out!

On the edge of night.....

Well hello bloggers, it's been a while eh? I've still not managed to get into a routine of blogging and I'm feeling that because I don't have a job right now I don't have very much to report.

Over the last 2 weeks I've spent more money than I should have.

The Valentines gift I got for my other half FINALLY came, 2 weeks after I had ordered it. I chose all the pictures and spent a couple of minutes putting all the pictures in and when I have it to my boyfriend he was elated! Said it was awesome (He's easily pleased).

There was 4 other pictures obviously and I was super annoyed when I got the picture of us over looking Central Park in New York because my face had been cut off! Must have been the size of photo I had picked. (Those two cuties on the left are my Nieces, best little girls around).

My sister came home last week for a couple of days and it was so good to spend some time with her. We went to dinner and a movie and we saw Morning Glory. I have never laughed so hard a film in such a long time. It was amazing! I have a but of a soft spot for Harrison Ford anyway!


I had an  Ebay clear out not too long ago and made a whopping £65 quid! So I felt the need to buy myself some goodies!

Topshop

H&M

I decided to be brave when shopping and getting out of my usual colour palette. My usual colours are black, white, grey, purple and pink. So I reckon I did well and I feel very comfortable and better about myself in my new clothes! I also bought some more Barry M in Mushroom. I really like this colour as again, it's different to my usual palette. Boy, I'm growing up!


Tuesday I had a day out with my other half which was nice, we went shopping and he got lots of nice things from TK MAXX. A Polo Ralph Lauren poloshirt and hoodie and a pair of Osiris shoes all for £100. TK Maxx is pretty awesome sometimes. He was feeling generous and decided to buy me a little something I'd bee after for a while

I'm in love with Vans. They are my "go to" brand for shoes. I love these ones on, very much my style. He also bought me some Fenchurch socks. I do enjoy a little Fenchurch because their packaging of things is always awesome. They were also only £3 so it was a bargain and a bit! I then treated him to some lunch in Tinderbox

It was a lovely afternoon and we went to the movies which was also good.


Yesterday was road trip time. I went with my friend Ayden to view some flats in the area she may be moving to. The flats were very nice and were snapped up pretty quick but it gave me an insight of what I would be after when it comes my turn to be out in the big bag world! The trip there was questionable with a TomTom and roadworks but we made it there and home safe!


This morning I had a job interview for an Admin support position with a company in Greenock. I'm hoping I get it, not just because its a job and I need one because it's local and seems like an interesting job that I could do! We shall see though, keep your fingers and toes crossed for me eh?

This is me about 20 minutes ago. It's the first time in a while where I've been comfortable with the way I look. I look like I've just shaved the side of my head when infact its just pinned behind my ear!

So this week began with Valentines Day. Much like other people, I'm not too fussed about Valentines but it is nice. Being unemployed I didn't have much money to get my beau anything so I spent £5 on this photo cube that rotates. I ordered it like a week ago and it is still to arrive, not happy! I also made him love heart shaped brownies which he proceeded to munch, I manged to get a photo of the last one before he demolished them: 

His Card.

I love getting flowers.

He got me flowers and a little teddy type thing. He also took me out for lunch. Nowhere fancy, Frankie and Bennys to make the most of their 3 course £8.99 deal. We sure know how to live large eh? It was super nice and the only downer was the weather! We had planned to go see a movie but the cinema was packed and almost every movie was sold out so we abandoned that idea and headed home. Had a nice wee chilled night watching TV. We are both addicted to the new Sky Atlantic tv channel. How sad, eh? There are some awesome new shows on and some old favourites like the XFiles. I was so happy to see they were starting it from the start and when I tuned in one day it happened to be the first episode I had eve seen when I was younger.

The rest of the week didn't consist of much. The other day I decided I would go for a walk and get some Snapple. (If you've never had/heard of Snapple - google it! Readily available in the States but not so much over here) The place that sells it is a wee cafe the next town over, which happens to be exactly 3 miles from my house. Google maps has it's uses. So off I toddled, it took me an hour to get there, I got stuck in a dead end where the ferry is and had to double back, it was raining but I finally got my Snapple. It was totally worth it. On the way back I tweaked my leg and was almost crawling back. That night and the next day I could barely move without it hurting. My mum said I might have pulled something, I put it down to be completely unfit to the point my "muscles" were punishing me for making them work. 

Yesterday I got to see my besto and go shopping to get her a dress for her dads wedding. Saturday + Glasgow + shopping = NIGHTMARE. So many rude people pushing past and too many bratty children for my liking. After a trip to Topshop, debenhams and then back to Topshop we had a winner. Picked by me because I'm just awesome, ha! I think when someone in stressing to get a dress they are too busy panicking to actually looking around, that's what buds are for :). Some new heels and accessories later we were off to MAC for me to spoil myself as I had a mysterious payment from my old job at Amazon of £150. It must have been overdue wages or something but I wasn't complaining. 

I got the following:

Everybody needs a pencil sharpner

Pinch O' Peach

Blacktrack

I yet to try my two products out mainly because my skin is playing havoc with me just now. I mentioned in a previous post about having Eczema. I don't have it very severe any more but it still shows its head regularly and when it does, it does it painfully! Over the years I have used 80% of all steroid creams (these actually damage your skin) and all the available moisturisers which have zero ingredients. I not the person you can go out and try a new nice smelling moisturisers nor can I use regular soap. I get both of those items prescribed which is a little annoying. I can only use one type of Shampoo and Conditioner - Herbal Essences. I can also only use one brand of make-up. MAC. 

You will more than likley only ever see me buy MAC products and that's because I've tried every other affordable brand out there and they just cause me pain! I'm starting to think the Sephora compact Ayden gave to me is the cause of my irritated eyes and skin. Hmmph.

This week I'm having a day to the movies with my beau tomorrow and applying for more jobs. Fun! I'm also hoping to catch my friend Rhyan before be moves down to Wales.

So this week has been a quiet week, as usual! I had an interview for Costa Coffee this week which I think went well. The only problem with this job is that it is only 16 hours per week and it's not really what I want to do. I did apply for an awesome job today "Graduate IT Helpdesk Analyst". That is basically what I want to do as my career, IT helpdesk, web helpdesk etc. Definitely trying to get my career started. 

When I was at my beaus house the other night (Monday) I left my purse and house keys. So this week I've pretty much been unable to go out as I can't lock the door and I have no money. Always good eh? 

I have a question for all you little 'uns out there. WHAT DO YOU WEAR TO A WEDDING?! Not just any wedding, your Dads wedding and not just anywhere but in Spain. I never know what sort of dressed to pick. The wedding itself isn't until May but I reckon I better start early or else I'll end up wearing a bin bag!
