V day, Cupcakes and Colds

 Tonight will mainly consist of these things..

I think the cupcake is the most essential part here :)

 Feeling pretty rotten today :( So I've stocked up on the de-cold and snot essentials - Hope it goes away soon as it's not fun sneezing everywhere at work and walking around looking like Rudolf boo!

I can't believe it's Wednesday already this week has flown by - not that I'm complaining as the weekend is near. Last weekend was a very relaxed weekend at home I spent Saturday baking Sam some valentine cupcakes, went out for drinks with the girls and had my hair cut on Sunday hooray :)

Red heart cupcakes I baked for Sam.

Me, Sez and Lis in spoons on the vino.

On Monday eve me and Sam headed out for a lovely meal for valentines day - It was nice and all but I think next year I'd much prefer to stay in and cook. Although I did enjoy my epic mixed grill cooked to perfection nom nom.

 Here is sam looking rather cheesey in the restraunt waiting for the meat..

and these beauties are what Sam brought me from fancie :)

Also this week I had my holiday accepted for 12th & 13th May - So we can now book our trip away to Paris for my birthday! excited!

Corp'n it up!

Enjoyed a night out at Corporation last night - It's been a while since we last graced the sticky floors of Corp. It's such a dive but with £2 quad vodka's & iron-bru you can't complain really! It was nice to just mosh the night away and forget about the stressfulness of work!

We are hot! a little bit drunk..

Looking forward to a relaxing night in tonight- Sam's going to cook up an epic chilli and I think trashy TV is on the cards! Looking forward to heading back to Stafford next weekend and valentines day on the Monday after -We have booked a table at a nice bar & grill : )

I've been selling a few things on Ebay recently, I need to make a few more pennies so I can save more of my pay! Typical me though - as soon as someone bids on an item and I can't go back I always regret selling and want to keep it.. oh well.

And now a little moan...

Really annoyed with myself! just realised I have epic scratches on my glasses :( and I can't afford new lenses at the moment so I'm going to have to live with big blurs over my eyes, great!

Also the lines on my laptop screen are multiplying - soon half my screen will be lined, marvellous!

Red sky

Red sky in the morning...

 I think another rambling post is on the cards soon - for now pictures of the sunrise this morning which was epic and made getting up more bearable!

Birthdays galore!

Currently sitting in piles of mess as Sam is clearing his collection of hoarded  crap out so I can have a little more space for all my 'important' crap. Ain't he nice? I feel like the the evenings/ days/ weeks are flying by at the moment once I get in from work, we have tea, sort bits and bobs out, clean it's gone 10 already :(

This weekend has been rather busy. It began with a pub crawl on Friday which I failed at as I was really sleepy. On Saturday we headed to Spalding to stay with Sam's parents for his dad's birthday, we went out for a lovely Italian and left on Sunday full up with home cooked roast nom! Sunday ended with tea and cake to celebrate Raoul's birthday back in Sheffield.

Am very much looking forward to a relaxed weekend back in Stafford this weekend and also I'm looking forward to seeing Sezzabell and Lis for s few drinks!

2011 Goals

I would love to have all of the following things strike though by the end of twenty eleven.

• Progress in the job I have now if a design job doesn't come my way
• Get a design job 
• Learn to drive
• Pay off my remaining overdraft (hopefully I will have this done in 3 months or so)
• Buy a better camera ( Nikon 5000 or 3100)
• Continue with my photography - do some freelance work
• Go on holiday with Sam :)

That's about it really, I could go on but I want something realistic to aim for :)

Up north

So I am now living up north in sunny Sheffield with Sam for now and the not so distant future, this makes me content as it feels like a second home anyway :) I will miss being in Stafford to an extent, my family, seeing my friends and I will miss all the luxury's of living at home, but I enjoy fending for myself these days so I am going to enjoy the freedom I have missed from being away at uni.

I started my new job on Tuesday which was a little daunting at first but so far so good, everybody seems lovely and the work seems a lot more relaxed than the work load of my last position so hopefully I will continue to feel the same and not get bored of it!
