I am so angry!

Last night we we all in the pub and everyone was being a bit boring so I decided to go say hello to some guys from work, who just so happen to be really lovely and very drunk.

Jess tells me a certain someone was staring the whole time, throwing out things like "how can she do that when toms here tomorrow"

1. What the fuck
2. We were chatting, nothing more
3. The girl you apparently like was sat opposite you, I think you should pay more attention to her
3. You don't give a fuck about tom- if you did then bestival stuff wouldn't have happened.

Idiot. So fucking angered.

In my life, the best weekends are followed y the most confusing times.

Bestival was absolutely amazing. The best 4 days I have had in such a very long time. I want to say perfect.

Thursday:

Friday:

Saturday:

Sunday:

Yes, I do LOVE bestival.

My head is so messy right now. Too many questions - "what if" being pretty major.

Whoa! It's been a while.

In short:

- I have put my notice in, and i'm moving on up to Bristol
- I am doing TEFL course in October. Hello travelling!
- It's ALL good :)

Long time no update!

All is okay at the moment. work is good but alas it is redundancy season and methinks my position is probably a luxury rather than a necessity, so i've got my plan b in action...

Tom is heading to Bristol to do his PGCE in around a month which is the same uni as Alice, so we have decided (me, Tom, Alice and Martin) to pick up our suitcases and head to Brizzle!

We have a SWANKY flat. It is seriously fit. Brand new by the harbour... unfurnished but with an Ikea in town that will be rectified! Tom has been to see a sofa tongiht and he's moving his stuff out on friday (hello transit van!) so it's all very exciting, I just have to get myself a job there which is work in progress.

OH! My sisters wedding was amazing. Such a happy day :) Everything went smoothly and it was so lush to see all the family again. All the pictures are on my facebook so far and the proffesional ones are really good too. They honeymooned in the Maldives and Sri Lanka and got back Tuesday. It's good to have my sister home, and it feel very grown up to have a brother in law!

Toms out for his staff doo tonight drinking free cider and eatting free curry so i'm thinking an evening with Kirsty, Phil, Harry Potter and Jack are in order. All after a hot bath though!

I'll always pull you up on every stupid thing that you say
But I found it so entertaining
Messing around with your head

I don't know why I felt the need to keep it up for oh so long
It's all my fault I'm sorry you did absolutely nothing wrong
I don't know why I felt the need to drag it out for all these years
All the pain I've caused you
The constant flow of all the tears
Believe me when I say that I cannot apologise enough
When all you ever wanted from me was a token of my love
And if it's not too late
Could you please find it deep within your heart
To try and go back go back to the start
Go back to the start

sat round a fire...sleeping in a tent with friends.. drum and bassy goodness and massive spontanious cuddles.

my head is a little messy now, in more ways than one.

i love deadmau5.

must purchase bestival ticket today

Work has gone a bit mental about swine flu. We have had info sheets not only to all staff (which could have been done by email... think of the trees?!) but also to all students. Like we don't know anything about it. Hello media? Plus every office now has tissues and alcohol pumpy hand things.

I can kind of see why. One of our mangers (Jez) vistied the school in Dulwich which has been shut down last week. (School group coming down...went to meet staff and seal the deal). His little boy now has a raging temperature and is having tests. Another school which has been shut down is due to visit us next week. Mental.

I have less than a week to organise an induction for 50 students on Monday 11th. I'm a bit scared...all eyes on me. Rich (Cheif instructor... boss) has been slagging off Kate a lot recently. I wouldn't be surprised if she got moved out of our office. She really is fucking annoying.

My life has been really uneventful lately, and i'm hating it. I want some fun and frolics!

I really want to see Arsenal win :( I don't think these commentators could be any more bias towards Man U. Grr. Also, Ronaldo is just gross. What do girls see in him!? ORANGE!

Tom beat me to getting an i phone this weekend. I have basically stolen it and downloaded very silly but entertaining apps. If anyone can recommend some good ones that would be great!

Tom is working AGAIN tonight. Rubbish.

I'm fed up of being fat. Thinking of spending too much money on diet pills. Hmm. Must start running again. Think I will make myself a nice little exercise rota.

Me and Tom are off to Nice in June. I have had a bit of a funny nightmare with Flybe. I got a call on Sunday letting me know that the flight we were on (1630) had been moved to 0700! Ahh. Early mrning but a whole extra day in sunshine. Got an email confirmation today saying we were on a flight to Newcastle!! I think not. Called them straight away to find out what the heck was going on... just a typo! Heart attack. Do need to put an angry face on and try to get them to pay for a hotel the night before.

Friday will be eventful... it involves helicopters, boats, a winch and me.

Tue, 21 Apr 2009 19:11:48 GMT

Whoa. Not updated in an age.

Work is going very well! I really enjoy it. Managers/co workers are awesome and the work is just the right balance of challenging but not too hard.

Life is also good... been going out lots. Hipshaker was last week which was really really fun. Good to see everyone out again :)

Me and Tom are cool. Things are slightly bland. I need some spice or something. We both work so much now I hardly see him. Just wake up with him.

Just in Tom's joggers watching madagascar 2... I got home from work and nearloy puked...been having dizzy spells and stomach cramps all day too :(

I really want a boy cuddle. Nothing funny... just with one of my boy mates. But Ross is now Toms friends (scowl) Dan got a chav girlfriend and Chris is on earlys so will probably be fast asleep.

Hey ho!

I'm seriously thinking about signing up to do the great south run. It's in October and is 10 miles... would keep my fitness up!

Talking of fitness malarkey... we had a voluntry health screening at work today. I had my cholestoral, weight, height, blood pressure and BMI measured. My BMI has gone down 5 points (!!!) blood pressure normal, and cholestorol 4.3 (Anything above 5 is not cool) well chuffed with that!

Oooo i've been offered to go sailing too. Should be next month for a photoshoot of the boat.

I ordered an immense jumper from Lazy Oaf yesterday. I'm excited for it to arrive!

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 19:48:26 GMT

Ahhhh tired!

New job is pretty awesome. I now work for UKSA (www.uksa.org) in the yachting department basially sorting out students and stuff. It's cool :)

I am shattered though! I need to get into a routine!

Tom has gone to footie training, I am in my Pj's watching shit TV with a hot chocolate :)

Fri, 23 Jan 2009 14:22:42 GMT

Hello!

I have been a blur of busy this January!

9th Jan me and Tom went to Dublin :) Was such a laugh. Really beautiful city. We went on n open top bus around the city twice, to the guiness storehouse, phoenix park, grafton st (shopping area bit). Was lovely lovely.

I saw a Chanel shop on the High St and grabbed Tom's hand and had a peek at all manner of expensive gorgeous things. Turns out we had ventured into a very posh department store. It was amazing. I pined over Miu Miu bags and Prada shoes! We went downstairs to the Jewellery Hall and found Cartier and Tiffany :D It was then that I twigged that we were being followed by security! I turned round and Tom was looking at ridiculously expensive watches, and there were about 7 pairs of eyes on him. Those eyes belonged to 7 burly, massive, very hard looking security guards. We had a peek at the Hugo Boss suits and left sharpish!

Flights were good too. I recommend Flybe. It was so rough on the way back though... Southampton was mid storm and there was a lot of turbulance. Tom looked terrified!

So we got into Southampton and Tom made his way up to Bristol (for his interview) and I made my way back home. So I grab a taxi, and so happen to grab the worst taxi ride of my life! The guy did not stop talking. And I really don't mind chatty cabbies, if anything it's a good thing. But this taxi driver proceeded to tell me in great detail about his failed marriage, horrible ex, dead best friend and the year he spent in hospital becuase he kept trying and failing to commit suicide. I was so glad to get out and go home!

So Tom poodles off to Bristol to have an interview for his PGCE... and he got a place! Woop. Then the next day I had a fitness test for the prison service and passed (yay!!) so all in all a really good week!

The next Monday I got a call from UKSA asking me to attend an interview an I got the job! It's an admin position and i'm really looking forward to it! UKSA (United Kingdom Sailing Academy) runs sailing courses (yachting an watersports) and is also a charity and takes kids out for a day sailing. I'm chuffed!

So i'm sorted for a summer job, then come September i'll be off to Bristol nd will then apply for prison jobbys.

January has been good to me! I have also been going salsa-ing and gymming lots.Going to a gig tonight with Jess and next week is Alice's birthday so a big one is in store! :)

Oh, and I had a pretty awesome hair cut!

Some pics:

In Gravity Bar at the top of the Guiness Storehouse (Guiness is gross.)

Fri, 16 Jan 2009 11:06:52 GMT

This is wicked:

That's Dan skating and Martin did all the illustration on it. Well good.

I went to salsa last night! It was really fun, I got asked to dance lots of times... fun fun!

Looks like i'll be mving to Bristol around August time... we're 99% sure Tom got on the course... exciting! (yet daunting) but yeh Bristol should be awesome. Little bit gutted.. would have loved to end up in Brighton as I have friends and family there but hey ho.

Gym this arfternoon. See Soph tonight. Interview tomorrow.

Wed, 14 Jan 2009 11:06:22 GMT

:o

I passed my fitness test! Ahh! Bleep test and everything. I'm so happy!

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 21:10:56 GMT

I got ridiculously ripped off today. I get terrible period pain and decided to get some feminax... about £6 I think.. just opened them.. 9 TABLETS!! Rip off!

Just got my pics from the week...

Tom's sis Charlotte on the left, all her mates and me...

Mon, 05 Jan 2009 11:51:52 GMT

Well I got back home yesterday, and i'm so so happy to be home!

Tom's parents are weird. I'm not saying I don't like them... it's just I don't think I could have stayed in their company for much longer! I have had a funny time away.

In a nutshell, we stayed in Cambridge for a bit then his Dad randomly wanted to go to Brighton for 3 days... so booked a a youth hostel. A 6 bedroom dorm room. Cringe. I was in a horrible old COLD youth hostel in a bunk bed with Tom on the top bunk, his parents in a double bed about a metre away from me and his 16 yr old sister nearby on a bunk bed. This was weird. So fucking weird. I'm so glad we only stayed there a night. I told Sophie about this situation and she pissed herself. Looking back it's weird and funny and unfortunate, but mostly something to be laughed at. I tried to have a laugh with Tom about it but he got a bt funny and said I was calling his dad "bizarre" and his mum "homophobic" (She was making HORRIBLE comments about gay people whilst in Brighton. I was angered about a million). so yeah Tom got aresy and I don't think he see's what I see... and I don't think I got unreasonble. Im 23, my boyfriend is 22 and I don't want to sleep in the same room as his mum and dad and little sister. I quite like my privacy. I'm trying not to be ungrateful.

Anyhoo becuase we were so close to my Nan we popped in. I love her so much. She is just legendary and great. I've decided to surprise her with a visit on her birthday in February.

So so glad to be home <3

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 18:50:08 GMT

Opinions needed!

Today I spoke to Tom on the phone and he said that he got some money for christmas from his grandparents. I then asked how much he got and he got really funny. Said that he didn't want to say. Then I asked why he didn't want to say and he was all "it's my business" and then he was all rude so I hung up on him.

I'm all "wtf" at the moment. I'm quite confused.

Is it bad that I asked how much he got? I wasn't prying or goldigging...was just curious. I've been with him 3 years and have NEVER been in any debt to him, yet he still owes me money. I really don't get how hostile he was. Weird.

Whilst writing this entry, Murphy (Silly two year old Yorkshire Terrier) has jumped on me three times and attcked me with kisses. I swear dogs know when your not your human self. I'm quite angry about the situation. He hasn't called since, and that was about 4 hours ago.

Urgh.

Today I bought a new coat for Dublin and some other bits. I got hold-ups too. A million times better than tights.

Up to Cambridge tomorrow.I don't really know if I want to go. Me and Tom had such funny conversation last night I went to bed with a smile. Now he's the last person I want to see.

GRR!

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 16:03:26 GMT

Sales are amazing!

I have just purchased one woolen and cashmere coat. It's camel coloured and I feel like inspector gadget. I loves it.

I also purchased a Audrey Hepburn style dress. It is black with a patent belt and makes me feel sexy sexy. I am embrassing the curvyness!

I am also one dress size (and coat size) smaller. Hooray!

So very excited for Dublin :D

Sat, 27 Dec 2008 13:33:30 GMT

I finished "Dear Fatty" by Dawn French today. I don't think i've read book so fast... every page had me hooked. It was such a rollercoaster. One pages I was belly-laughing-out-loud, next I was silent and had tears running down my face. Definately a favourite. Go get it.

Never get flowers from Next. They have faffed me around a right treat. I ordered some lovely christmassy flowers for Toms family to be delivered on Christmas Eve. Did they arrive? Did they balls. Embarrasment and apologies were sent by me through Tom. I was so angry and annoyed! I called them this morning and there had been an error somewhere along the line. I have now been fully refunded and have a £10 gift voucher in the post. I quite enjoy kicking off.

Talking of kicking off. I have been paid this month... but no holiday money or commission. I'm not sure how to proceed. Do I call the accountant? Do I go in? I think i'm owed around £300 (providing my holiday calculations are correct). I don't want to get it wrong and look like a dick.

I have discovered dry shampoo. I think it's great!

Fri, 26 Dec 2008 19:28:29 GMT

I have tried putting the pics under a cut but it all goes queer :/ someone help! Sorry to clog up yr journals! xx
