Hey guys!!
HAPPY EASTER!!
Remember me??
I know I've been gone for so long (well a week but feels longer).
I have been very naughty this week...
Pretty much there were days where I got home late...
I was tired...
My internet stopped working...
Sometimes I even forgot!!
So many excuses but honestly there are legit!
It's been a long and odd week if I'm honest.
It started off on Monday, with having a meeting which was meant to make me feel relieved...I didn't!
Then Tuesday I had a 'relaxing' day at home - I was so stressed out it was unreal.
Wednesday I covered a shift at work and I could have screamed!!
Thursday I did some shopping to spend my wages - not so bad.
Friday started off bad but got better as the day went on.
Saturday started off good and then became stressful and then I got a tattoo (number 4).
And that leaves us with today - dyed my roots!!
I'm not trying to moan about my week (I’ve done that already); I'm just showing you why I've been a bit absent. It has been a long and terrible week; but something good has come out of it - I'm happy with my life! You might think that's not a revelation; but for me it is as usually I'm craving something else. I always want to be someone else or look like someone else and even want more then I had; but for the first time ever (even though it's been an odd few weeks) I actually feel happy. I’m happy with my situation (work and personal) which is both comforting and scary. Although I am happy I'm not necessarily contented, but you never know what could happen.
Anyway...
This was me after shopping with Mum and Charlie on Thursday.
Now I wasn't originally meant to go on Thursday; but I kind of invited myself along as I had a dress on hold. By the time my shift came around on Wednesday I had noticed the dress had gone; but the bag that I have wanted for ages had turned up on my till. I immediately hid it behind a rail of clothes and reserved it for myself. When Thursday came around I took my time getting ready, so much so that Charlie had to come and pick me up. We eventually ended up in town as a threesome and headed for some lunch in Caffé Nero. We then headed to Thomas Cook to pay the next instalment on Charlie and mine birthday holiday, (we were born 3 years and 9 days a part). Charlie then had to run off to her eye appointment, so I abandoned Mum in Thomas Cook and headed to River Island. I don't know what it is about our local River Island; but whenever a sale is on the staff goes to pot. They forget everything and add to the chaos of the customers - not good. I reunited with Mum and Charlie and headed to Debenhams to pick up my bag. I was slightly nervous that it wouldn't be there; but thankfully it was and I literally grabbed it quicker then normal people do (I’m weird). While I was there I picked up a maxi dress that I have been after for ages, as the last part of my uniform allowance. Although I'm happy I picked up the dress, I'm happier with the bag as it cost me about £17 something (originally £38 - bargain). We soon headed back to the car as Charlie had to go back to work to pick up her coat. So it was a quick trip in to town and yet we were out for ages!! Oh and we swung by Tesco's for food for me (I'm a piggy); which reminds me - who does their weekly shop on a Thursday?? I don't get it!! The Allen family weekly shop is on a Saturday, so the idea of it being on a Thursday absolutely confuses me. I'm an odd child!!
To the outfit...
So I've had this outfit planned for a while as I liked the idea of the circus top with the skater skirt. Unfortunately I didn't realise how baggy the top would be, nor do I have an appropriate cardigan to match. So I decided to chuck on my new favourite cardigan just for a slouchy effect. I picked this top up from work earlier this year or maybe it was Christmas?? Anyway I've been wanted this top since it was brand new stock and £16. I loved the print of the circus and the glamour of the top itself; unfortunately I couldn't bring myself to pay £16 even with my 20% off. So months later when I was sorting out the H! by Henry Holland sale, I saw this top just hanging there for £5 something and a size 16. I immediately knew it was fate and decided to take it back to the till point until lunch. I couldn't decide if I wanted to get it or not; but I thought it would be silly not to. With my 20% off it was only £4 something which is a complete bargain. Although this top was slightly too baggy for this outfit, I'm delighted that it'll be perfect for layering up with my old faithfuls. You see it does pay to wait until the sale - thank you discount!!
Now you're probably expecting a Sunday Playlist today; but as it was my last post I decided not to. I may do one during the week but if not it'll be back next week. I'm going to be very busy this week (literally out everyday); but I will try and update more then I did this week.
Just in case you're having with drawl symptoms here is my new Movie Tag video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0hA1DXo98rU
I shall leave you now but hopefully for not too long.
I promise I will be back!!
