Something I learned today: always check you have a key with you when the rest of your family are out of the house and you want to get in it! I of course had to occupy myself, so I did what I know best, spend money that shouldn't be spent by going on a charity shop hunt and then to Costa!

I found some lovely things, which I look forward to styling over the next few weeks. And the magazines will be appreciated when I'm on my lunch break tomorrow!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

There is noting I like more than coming home to a warm house, with food cooked by my wonderful mother, getting changed into something super comfy and relaxing. My evenings may not consist of anything interesting, but I like having those few hours to just chill.

Part of that obviously includes buying lots of new p-js, jumpers and slippers [mine need to be replaces] which is something I have yet to do, but look forward to over the next few weeks!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Last night Phoebe and I went to see Everything Everything in Bristol and it was great!

The support acts were a bit weird, and the crowd wasn't as up for it as I expected, but the band were on top form! Dan is an insane singer, and gets extra credit seeing as he had lost his voice a few days before! Getting out of Bristol was a tad tricky, but we succeeded and made it home safely!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

My typical train journey...

Music in, heading bopping.

I think the thing that has put me off posting photos/has made it harder over the last month or so is that I decided to do this faff-y writing bit, which I do like to do, but it's got to the point where it just takes up too much time. So from now on I am going to try and remember that it is a photo that I am uploading everyday, not an essay. 

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Today has felt very autumnal for me (layers and red lipstick included) and the weather is certainly proving to be a match for it. My favourite mornings are the ones where it is completely clear and really chilly and it's certainly getting that way! I enjoyed my day off by staying in bed for the morning and then catching up with Lauren in the afternoon - it was great! Then followed a pretty crazy evening down at our church's youth group with about 60 (very energetic) youth! It was a lot of fun, as we painted nails and listened to music. Something else I've also got back into today is listening to the radio, and having it on my phone is so handy. Definitely going to be doing that on my commutes to work from now on. 

Autumn Days

Gets those tunes on!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

So once again I have failed on the 'post everyday' thing seeing as this last week has had hardly any posts - I was doing so well.
Basically, I started my job last Wednesday and that was a real shock to the system. Having to get up and do a 9 hour day of work from Wednesday to Saturday was hard, but I am finally getting used to it. I kind of feel like I've lost my life a little bit, as I get back at 7, eat my tea and then pretty much go to bed. So time for posting just hasn't occured, but hopefully I will give a little time at the end of my day to post a picture from now on. Yesterday was a pretty manic day, having work from 9-6 and then going straight to Yeovil to see Bastille - it was awesome though.

Dan Smith!

Me and Phoebe

When we booked the tickets it felt like forever away, but it went really quick and we weren't very organised. However we got there and had such an awesome time. They were never my number one band to see at a gig, but they were really good live and Dan is an incredible singer. I'm now super excited to see Everything everything next week in Bristol!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

The first day we got Watson, Rosie came round and took some photos. It's funny looking back and seeing how small he was compared to now!

Love at fur-st sight. [see what I did there.]

He was such a cute kitten, just wish he could have stayed that small a little longer! 

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

It is so hard to sum up today in one word but I think out of everything it has to be...tiring! It was literally the first full day of being awake and on my feet for about 3 months. Even then I don't think I've ever been on my feet that long. I got home and just ached. Besides that though it was quite an enjoyable day! Obviously nerve-wracking and a bit daunting with everything your doing and everyone your meeting is new, but I think I got the hang of the basics by the end. My favourite part of the day though was, of course, getting to wear the prestigious lanyard!

And now I am just ready for bed. I got home at 7:00, quickly ate and then had the peeps round since 7:30 so it's been a long day! I've only had one day at work and I'm already looking forward to Sunday!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Another day of just relaxing, and actually probably the last proper one for a while! Tomorrow marks my first day working for Next and actually getting off my bum and doing something. I'm looking forward to it, a little nervous but I'll be fine once I am there. Today I just enjoyed watching some Gilmore Girls and learning some more songs on the Keyboard.

The keyboard is old and grubby!

I really enjoy finding a song I like and having a play around. Considering I can't play any other musical instruments [a recorder does not count] I think I sound okay!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

#161 [Memory Monday]

One of the many things I love about our church is the social side of it. Even now we are currently planning for all the Christmas stuff coming up and then a Murder Mystery Night in the New Year. A couple of years ago we did a fancy dress disco, which gave us the chance to pick a costume and dress up!

I know some people really do not like Fancy Dress, but I think it's fun and we definitely enjoyed our evening.

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Preparing for my new job has included going through the Next catalog and pagemarking things - it's been quite fun! I'm not entirely sure how the 'working wear' works yet, but there's no harm in looking right?

Obviously it has to be the latest collection, and I'm hoping everything I've highlighted will be included. I read somewhere that it's 75% off for work wear so that's just an added bonus!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Today marks my last day at Thyme, which kind of makes me sad but also very excited for the future! I'm not sure I will really miss the work, the thought of never making another cup of coffee doesn't send me into deep depressing, but I will definitely miss the people. My favourite customers got me a goodbye card, which was so sweet! We have spent the evening in a typically boring way, just how I like it. I painted my nails, watche
d some Gilmore Girls and then X Factor. Rebecca thought it would be funny to play Chubby Bunny, but with grapes instead. She is a weird one!

She was quite successful to be fair.

Until tomorrow. Goodbye x

Never have I ever come home and found Watson on my windowsill before! There have been many weird places, but for some reason he had never chosen that spot...until today.

He is strange.

And I do realise it is a shame that my life has got to the point where now the only photos I take are of food and my cat [my phone is testimony to that]. But hopefully when I start work next week my life will become a little more interesting. One thing I have got back into recently has been listening to music. It's been nice to listen to old stuff for the nostalgia factor, but also finding some new bands has been cool too!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

So today was meant to be my induction a Next, however they have delayed it till next Wednesday. I don't mind too much, because it means they have a couple of days extra to get ready, but it would have been nice to start today and just get on with starting work! To fill my day instead, I just watched loooots of Gilmore Girls...and what a good way to waste time it was too!

I'm now nearing the end of Season 3, swiftly working though it! It's funny how we pretty much watched it from start to finish, multiple times when it was on e4, however there are still some episodes that I have never seen before. I'm now off to bed to watch some more - I don't think I'm hooked just yet!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Tonight was another fun evening with the Risky Fish chums, after a very uneventful day. I made some cupcakes earlier which is probably the most productive thing I've done this week! 

I've also failed at trying to get my body clock back to a semi normal time to sleep/wake up. I'm torn between preparing for Monday's early start and just enjoying the time off I have left,

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

#155

Chilling with my favourite cat-friend whilst watching Great British Bake Off - makes for a good evening! 

I'm now off to bed quite early to try and sort my body clock out before I start work properly next week!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

I don't even remember when this was taken, but I do know that it was a while ago because we all look young! Pretty sure this was probably near the start of when I became friends with Abi, which seems crazy seeing as she is now one of my best friends.

Awww the baby faces!

It's so funny looking back at old photos and seeing how much people have changed, in the way they look and what they wear. I know I changed most near the end of secondary school, and probably still am changing. When it comes to fashion I always change my opinions, like to wear something a little bit different, not really one to be a sheep. It always makes me weirdly pleased when Rebecca turns round and says she really doesn't like something I've bought. It's nice to know you have your own style! Except for all those outfits from the past, which at the time you thought were 'quirky' when actually they were just wrong.

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

One of my favorite things to do, and something we often got told off for in primary school assembly's, is playing with people's hair. By this of course I mean girls, and it's always nice if their hair is really long, as you can just do more stuff! Rebecca's hair at the moment is at a great length, so whilst watching X Factor tonight I enjoyed just messing around with it a bit. These were the results...

The first one being the classic fish plait, which I find far more fun and easier to do than something like a french plait. And then the second one I just thought it would look nice for an up-do, but unfortunately didn't have any bobby-pins downstairs to secure it! She is like my living dolls head.

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Today is a joggers kind of day. After a crazy day at work, after having 2 weeks off was pretty tiring and I've just been chilling since I got home!

Some evenings that's just what you need, and seeing as I have another early start tomorrow I don't think it will be long till I go to bed either.

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x

Today has been a good day! Yesterday afternoon/evening, me and Dad finally sat down and looked at phone contracts as my current one had run out. It all ended up being very quick and easy, after being on hold for almost an hour, but it was all worth it in the end. I've been wanting to get an iphone for while so we looked at contracts for the iphone 5, and managed to do a deal with o2. Expecting it to turn up on Monday like the man said, I was pleasantly surprised to hear the door bell ring at 9 this morning, with my phone in the post! And basically all I've done today is play with it...

As pretty much everyone and their mum knows, ios7 has just been launched this week so I had to download that and lots of other things. I'm now on instagram [ndonnedavis] and have all my other social bits on there, including blogger. Which will make blogging that much easier - wohooo! My network doesn't actually start till Monday, so for now I have two phones...how fancy!

Until tomorrow, Goodbye x
