Visitor..

On Monday Holly came to visit for four days and it was really fun. :) Monday was a lazy day, we went to the pub to have dinner and came back home and played Wii and had Indian takeaway. :) On Tuesday we planned a shopping trip! I had a tutorial on Tuesday morning which I came away from feeling really disappointed because I got a bad mark for my dissertation Pitch but after speaking to Holly, I feel better about it and I really need to see my lecturer about it properly and get started with my features.

Shopping was fun of course! I got some great goodies including these:





Of course, both are from Topshop. I actually spotted the shoes on Monday night and they only had size 4's left so I took it as a sign and used my giftcard towards them and with student discount they were £36 :) I have yet to wear them but I will!
The jumper is a cropped jumper which I'm still getting used to, it was £35 which is a bit expensive but I used the rest of my giftcard and student discount to get it down to £25. :D

Holly did well on our shopping trip aswell. She got a Blackberry Curve! I'm so jealous because it is so much better than mine! It has so much more stuff on it and it's prettier. :(

I also bought underwear, a black cardigan, photo frame and some bits and pieces from boots including a new nailvarnish! I counted up all my Barry M nailvarnishes yesterday and I have 17! Every time I go into the shops now I can't find a new colour!

Unfortunately I forgot that I had to work on Tuesday, I tried to get the night off but no one ever seems to want to cover my shifts. The main reason I wanted it off was because Vince was playing a gig in the Union Venue that I obviously wanted to go and watch. LUCKILY when I got to work, they needed someone to work upstairs so I got to watch the gig anyway. :D It was awesome. Tomorrow they are playing a gig in Bournemouth and on the 21st Jan they have a headline gig at the Talking Heads. (Myspace.com/StatementCode)

On the Wednesday I had ANOTHER tutorial but this time I did really well so I was really pleased! Then in the afternoon I went and got a tattoo. :D Very simple, easy to hide. Exactly what I wanted and I don't care what anyone else thinks of it.



I also got the musical note on my wrist added to as the people that did it, didn't really do a good job so I'll post a picture of the new version a bit later because it's in the middle of healing and is not looking so nice.

Holly went home on Thursday morning so I was left all alone and had ANOTHER tutorial, I was actually really surprised with my mark for this work because I was expecting to do really badly but I did quite well. :D


Yesterday was a pretty lazy day as well. Vince came round with his new rice cooker and we made risotto and it was the best tasting risotto ever! Tonight he is going out for a mates birthday so I'm going to get on with some work. I want to make a list of questions for my lecturer and get some feature ideas. I'm feeling really unmotivated with my Dissertation at the moment so I need to get on with things. I have a tutorial on Tuesday which will hopefully help me.

I have my night all planned out. Dinner, work..and that's it! Hah. Goodnight!

Good and bad times

Today I was supposed to be travelling to London to attend the Lost Prophets album launch party and also interview the band. I wasn't 100% sure I could go or if Vince could come with me and by the time I was looking at places to stay, train fares and coach fares, it was a bit late. I managed to find a coach to take us there but everywhere in London is full or too expensive! It's just as well really as London is covered in snow so I'm not sure I would have been able to get there anyway.

Luckily, their PR girl was kind enough to ask if I wanted to send my questions via email, so I did! I also cheekily added a few questions that should help me with my Dissertation. :)

I've also just sent questions in for The Blackout who I have interviewed for the next issue of Noise Addiction magazine. :) It's pretty hard to think up questions for a band you don't know much about but hopefully they are ok!


Yesterday I got my hair cut :) I'm still getting used to it, I have much more of a fringe then I did previously and it's a little bit shorter. It will take some work to get some volume in it but today I'm not going anywhere so I've just let it dry naturally and it's gone all wavy, which I quite like.

Holly is coming up to stay again on Monday, if the snow stays away that is. We have big plans to go shopping in the January sales and I have been saving money especially! I hope I can find some bargains. I've actually made a shopping list of things I need but so far it only includes a black cardigan and some underwear. I'm being good until then and not going shopping! The snow is helping me as it's too cold to go out!
