Pyjama cases.

I found this glorious pyjama case in a lovely shop called Front Parlour, Sharrowvale Road, today. It was a bit decadent at £6.50 but I fell in love with it and knew if I didn't get it I would think about it constantly and I wouldn't get to go again for a few weeks. It only opens a few days a week.
The little guys look so cute and snuggly in their little bed! Not like me! I was so cold in bed my nose was like a dog'd and my feet were like ice cubes!

Fear not....

... I don't think it was conjunctivitis...... I think I'm just desperate for new glasses.

Red T Bars make everything feel OK.

I've been really miserable lately with my appearance. I think it's a girl thing. I hate all my clothes. I hate my hair. I hate my face. I generally hate it all.
I get up in the morning, very late most days, crawl out of bed. Wash (vaguely) and perhaps run my fingers through my hair. I leave for work (late) and have to catch the bus. No breakfast. No make up. Poor excuse for an outfit.
Then I get to work, haphazardly attempt to apply make up and struggle through the day. By the time I'm awake (usually 30 minutes into my shift) I see my hideous reflection in the mirror (I work in a shop that has mirrors EVERYWHERE). I hate it! I hate the outfit I've put on. I hate my make up attempt. I hate my gross hair.......
But today I vowed to make a difference. I vowed to make myself feel different. My new Urban Decay eyeshadow arrived in the post yesterday so I did my make up before I left the house. I straightened my hair and put in a sparkly butterfly clip. I wore a nice dress and coloured tights and I even went as far as to open my accessory box!
To top it all off I got to work and treated myself to some new red T Bar shoes! The perks of working in a shoe shop.....
I felt like I looked like a fun person not a drab drippy loser girl!
But then........ I had to go and get antibiotic eyedrops for impending conjunctivitis! My eyeliner ran and it was such horrid drops it went down the back of my throt and I threw up in a bottle of orange juice!
Better luck tomorrow......

Using my time off wisely.

... Or not.
I really wish I'd spent my week off from work doing loads of interesting stuff so I could be all "I went to so and so and did this....." and "look at my photos of this really cool thing I saw...." but unfortunately I've done sod all. I've rotated my time going to the gym and eating, punctuated now and again by playing Zelda on my DS.
The most excitement I've had is getting an old Creme Egg egg cup for 10p in a charity shop and the old lady exclaiming "Easter Eggs! It's only January!" Alright dear, keep your hair on! It's only an egg cup! Going on a walk that, due to the temperature dropping rapidly, resulted in us gettting a bag of chips and going home to bed. Going out for a few bevvies with my boss (I can't keep away from work!). Watching series 1 of a Touch of Frost (God! I love David Jason soooooo much!) and tonight I am going for some food and some cheeky Sailor Jerry's with my chum Charley.
Despite having not done anything.... it's been a nice week! Doing nothing, at home, is way better than working!

Lazy days.

Boy I had a bit too much wine last night. I have a hot date now with the sofa, my sleeping bag and the TV.

Snow days take me awayssssssssss.

Dear snow gods.
I don't like going to work. I hurts my head and my heart. I would very much like to spend my time making snow angels not cow-towing to ignorant bastards all day long regarding shoes that cost £5.
Thanks for your time.

will there be any more snow?

Snow fools.

As suggested by my chum Charley I am going to do a run down of all the idiots I have encountered in the snow today.
* A girl walking to the bus stop was so terrified of the snow touching her she was rubbing it off vigorously with a look of sheer terror on her face. Anyone would think it was big lumps of burning acid not soft, feathery, delightful snow. yeah, that's right SNOW! Wonder what happens to her when it rains.
* Man approaching bus stop with a hat.... made of snow! It was piled up high on his head and had formed a peak.... When he got in the shelter (Snaking the queue I might add) he did not brush it off.... just let it slowly melt into his scalp... (bet the fearful girl was freaking out at the very thought).
* ALL the people at the bus stop..... when one bus passed overloaded with folks and was not stopping for more passengers I thought "Oh aye... I'm off on my feet now!" So walked I did while all the stupid sheep waited for a bus. Not a single bus past me for at least half an hour and when they did they were fit to burst! I can just imagine Mr Snow Hat still stood there now.
*Working in a shoe shop was fun.... Welly Rush! Within the first hour we'd sold a hefty amount of wellies and were down to only a few pairs.... yet people were shocked at 1pm when we didn't have their size! Who'd have thought that we'd have sold out of the only waterproof boots in an unpredicted blizzard..... and YOU'RE NOT THE ONLY PERSON WHO HAD THIS BRIGHT IDEA!
I'm sure there were plenty of other fools aropund but they were my favorites. Of course I had the usual array of numpties asking if knitted fake ugg boots are waterproof... Use your loaf love... you're wearing a coat, right? Why? Because your knitted jumper is not waterproof..... do you think a jumper on your foot would be waterproof? No? Then why would these be waterproof? Basic grasp of science.....
I took great pleasure in scaremongering today. Hyping up the snow fear... No, the buses are off... I don't know how I'll get home (Like I can't walk).... so and so re closing early....... I was rewarded for this by getting to leave work three hours early, as did most of the other shops in town (but much earlier than us!). I got to to the park and sledge down a hill on a melamine tea tray and climb on a massive snow mountain that someone else had built.

Snow ahoy!

I'm not sure if I trust old Paul Hudson of Look North fame but he says its going to be really snowy! Gee willikers! It's like a death up near my house and that is a main road! I dread to think what it's going to get like if it snows again!
I'd love to get snowed in and not have to work but that will never happen!

I like it to snow.....

Happy New Year....

This sums up New Years 2010.
