Happy Sunday Thoughts

 Springs finally on it's way, blossom everywhere

Sunday Naps

Watching Broadwalk Empire religiously before bed

Pampering Sunday

Finally Payday in a few days!

 So as March is nearing the end, I thought i'd refer back to the task list I set myself for March. In order to keep myself from getting bored, frustrated, and concentrating on money problems there were plenty of things for me to do... not many got done. Maybe my April tasks will be easier accomplished. (let down)

1. Visit the Yohji Yamamoto at the V&A: LOVE!!  (12 March - 10 July 2011) Will be visiting this when i'm paid
2. Visit a castle, manor house or some sort of architectural building and take lots of photographs Well i didn't visit an architectural place, but my partner, his brother and I went to an unused airfield (partners work), so for the time being this counts enough
3. Take at least 2 Polaroid photos (which will in someway describe my month) Took one of a friend who was visiting from Ireland, this month hasn't really had anything particularly explanatory about it. Fail, took one first day of april?
4. Finally get round to photographing and selling things on eBay I may scream, i've needed to do this for 2 months!
5. Save up to purchase a new snap shot digital camera  (may continue into April) Saving up isn't a possibility at the moment, every penny is spent by the end of the month, no holiday, no digital camera, may rob a bank for birthday presents...
6. Research things to do for the partners birthday/presents (and save save save also april) Have been looking into it, few ideas, saving up isn't a possibility at the moment, every penny is spent by the end of the month, no holiday, no digital camera, may rob a bank for birthday presents...
7. Visit London  (financially same day as v&a would be ideal)!Sigh
8. Start a project (be it fashion, photography, housework) Fail
9. Update more on this blog (and change layout if i can work out html enough) More frequent updates, tick, a few changes, tick, no html changes, fail, more interesting things, fail.
10. Start and complete one book Done! It was a rubbish book, and I nearly threw it in the bin, but I had to finish it to see how they ended the ludicrous story, they didn't, it was bad, but tick!
11. Make one from scratch dinner from a recipe book I have until Thursday to complete this
12. Get my first haircut at a salon (seriously never have) & have a change with my hair as its in a massive rut OH MY GOSH YES! Now just to learn how to style it
13. Continue to swim each week I haven't swum for two weeks, bum
14. Start using Wii Fit  again, at least 3 times a week! Haha, I haven't even turned it on. Jeez.

 My plan for today goes like this:

Pull everything out of my wardrobe (not hard most is on the floor)

Pack up everything I haven't worn for a while or isn't fitting properly and remove from wardrobe

Organise my wardrobe (dressing for work is a mission at the moment)
Go through makeup, get rid and organise

Hoover (yawn)

Do the food shopping for the week (yawn)

Have a nap (anyone else continually tired)

Google a way to get rid of my awful skin at the moment (ANY IDEAS?)

Relax/Pamper/Have a bath 

I don't expect many of these to get done...

Happy Sunday

5 Lovely Happenings

1.I have lovely newly cut conditioned hair! My boyfriend suprsied me with a hair cut last night, i'd been going on for ages about how I needed to make my first trip to a salon (yes), and get someone to give my hair a complete makeover, get rid of all the ends and give it a new interesting cut. It'd gotten to the flat, no volume state (hard with really wavy/curly/thick), split ends galore and I had no idea what to do with it, now it's a fair few inches shorter, shiny as a mirror, strokeably soft, full of volume and I have a new look to boot! Lovely, and far to kind of him.

2. I'm off out for an indian tonight, the Mr's been paid (lucky) so we're going out with his parents to a nice little local resturant, it'll be nice to do something, i'm always so lethargic and sleepy when I get in from work lately, maybe this'll bump the energy levels (and my weight sigh)

3. Two sunny days in a row, what country is this? I bet the weekend will be pants in a sod's law fashion, but i'll happily take a few days with wearing pumps, no tights, and a thin jacket instead of my whole winter ensemble before it heads to the minus' again.

4. We might be having a weekend away in a few weeks with family and down by the coast,I was only saying a few days ago that I needed a weekend away somewhere. What a lovely thing to look forward to :)

5. I Repierced my ears! When I was younger I used to have 14 or so piercings, a few have gone here and there, however i long to wear teeny tiny little hoops galore in my lower ears, and can now do so (the second piercing on one side won't repierce though! Maybe a trip to the piercer if my longing continues)

 Not so lovely

1. After loosing one of my favourite earings last night (realised at the hairdressers), I found it when I got back in and presumed i'd just knocked it out when tying up my hair (idiot), so I wore them today, and I've actually lost one forever now. Not in my hair, not in my coat, not in my office, not anywhere! I rarely like dangly earings, but I was inlove with these, and they go with everything I own. Sigh. RIP little one, I doubt i'll find a suitable replacement for you...

2. I also have a pounding headache, photoshopping all day does nothing for the migranes, neither do glasses unfortunately. Oww!

8 Things I've learnt from the past

You will always spend to much time on people who are never worth it, and feel heartbroken when in reality your not 

I am so protective of my sister

 Trust your instincts, if you genuinly think something it's usually true especially first impressions.

Try to feel confident with your appearence at least once in a while

I should have let people take more photos of me when I was younger, because looking back i'm in very few with my friends in my teen years, I felt unnatractive fat (I was a size 8!) and didnt really have anything to worry about!

I should probably start feeling this way now, as I know in a  year i'll look back and wish I looked like this, which is what I do with images from 2 years ago. typical girl.

 Take photos all the time, everywhere, of everything and everyone.

I love the amount of photos I have to look back on, countless of my family, friends from school, my partner and I have hundreds of things we've done and places we've been.

Don't let people make you feel inadequate

This goes for boys, friends and family members. Too many have made me feel like this, some unintentionally, some deliberatly.

Respect yourself and make everybody work for everything! 

Boys don't just get you, they need to treat you like a princess, friends can't just pick you up when they want, not if there true friends, they'll always be in contact through some sort of medium.

Never loose your creativity

I've lost mine and am yet to get it back

Live more than you think you are

You'll always look back and will have had 'what if's, and why didn't I, I missed out..' I have a few. There are so many things I want to do because i've never done them, so many I can't because of money at the moment, but you only live once. Screw it :)

8 Places I would love to visit...

1Venice

8 Things I want or need...

A wardrobe that fits me better 

Nothing fits me right, and my body keeps changing

A gym membership

My body is seriously getting me so down

A cuddle

Feeling a bit low

A new job

My salary would only be enough if I lived at home AND had no rent to pay, part of me wants a massive change, to locate to a new place, start a career.. now to get someone to hire me!

A holiday/weekend break/day trip, 

I need to get away from my home for a few hours, with the Mr and just  have fun without worrying about money, or getting stressed with jobs (hes in need too).

A dog

I really like westies

Some lovely underwear would be nice!

Simple way to feel sexy, knownig your wearig nice undies 

MONEY!

I never have any money to spend on anything extra in the month, so how i'm going to work this is going to be  a bloody miracle!

Just something about them

Dream House pt. 2

5 lovely happenings

1. I had my nails done for the first time at the weekend with my partners mum. She's a lovely lady who I get on with greatly, and I was really excited to get them professionally done. Is it sad at 23 i've never experienced it? Anyway a session later I have some gel nails(?!), with a nice little french manicure, lovely!
2. The Mr and I were discussing holidays the other night (and how we really can't afford one), but we realised we have such a great summer lined up already (and most paid for pre-christmas, yay!), whilst we can try work finances out for holiday. Kings of Leon, Foo's, Take That, V-Fest, I can't wait! So what a lovely summer to be looking forward to.
3. I've got to 10 people following me, and 1 on my personal blog, this is great as I love reading peoples blogs and I see why they have hundreds of followers, but I ramble, can't write well and make no sense so it has definitely put a smile on my face
4. I did half an hour on an exercise bike last night (this is a great achievement as my legs are pathetic in strength, although bulbous in size), and I felt better for it. I'm going to try build up my length and keep it up!
5. I've been looking at lots of lovely interior images which has given me a lot of inspiration for one day when we have a house.


ps. it's Tuesday which is nearly Wednesday, which is nearly the weekend :)
