Take note...

My work mates were telling me about this story in the Metro Newspaper yesterday morning...a "lady" was banned from her local Tescos because she used to go in shopping in her pyjamas...

(click to make bigger)

To be honest I'd do the same I think...ban her that is. My favourite line has to be the last one! Genius. Let this be a lesson to us all; get up, DRESS up...then shop.

The perfect school outfit!?

Don't get my wrong, I'm a fan of the Whitney (ala Hills fame) HOWEVER I just stumbled across this video, online since September (I need to stay in more)- I have never heard such drivvle come out of one persons mouth...bless her! Getting ready to go back to school? Remember you can't go wrong with T-shirts and jeans...teamed with a jeans jacket AND animal prints...what an outfit!

The September Issue



Can't get enough of this film at the moment! New Year's resolution to wear sunglasses everywhere...and to be more like "The" Anna!

Sunday 3 January 2010

ouch.

Big fat fail against last night, I don't think I mixed drinks (I stuck to just spirits - granted, all of them)...I feel rather rough today and this is not how I want to feel this year. I've decided to reduce the amount I can drink by half, the easiest way to do this in my opinion is by only drinking drinks that are in the latter part of the alphabet, therefore starting with M and onwards.

Twitter-Tw*tters.

It's cut throat the world of Twitter. Yes, I've declared my love for the twitter site but have been finding myself getting angry at certain "celebrity" Twatters. It's my own fault, I thought it would be fun to add them, see what their world is like, but I'm going on a culling mission...had my first casualty this afternoon!

A certain young man who shame remain nameless. He was in a band but isn't anymore and is now holding on to stardom for dear-life by treading the boards in the London's west-end.

I was sick of logging in and seeing him say how fantastic his life was, how much he loves his twitter followers and how they mean the world to him and he couldn't do it without us...blah blah.

Another frequent theme seemed to be him telling all us gullible followers how many shows he had to do today and how he can't wait for his next day off..."only one show today", "God, got two shows to do today...hope I get through them" It's YOUR JOB!!! I don't go in the office and tweet "Oh Gosh, got 12 pieces of knitwear to book today, hope I get through!" I'm a buyer, that's my job!?...and *breathe*...

Well there are other people close to the chop...a certain rich heiress telling us every day that she's having an amazing time shopping and ski-ing. I think I would too with her bank balance, in fact I would pay someone to tweet for me. Also a young gentleman trying to make it big in the music industry, I would say his name but you won't know him (case in point)...don't push me!

Rant over - Right really must get going - late!

2010...New Year...New Me!

I think we've established I didn't do that well with my plans for 2009. I think year is going to be different though, I have a good feeling! 2009 in my opinion was an ugly number, 2010 is lot more visually appealing.

This year I know what I SHOULD do and that's simple... "save more, drink less" ...but to be honest , I know myself, I've known myself for 26 years now and I'm unlikely to succeed, saying that these two things are something that I do need to work on...

I could probably get away with drinking as much as I currently do (I have already reduced heavily from 2008 I think?!) but for 2010 I am going to make a conscious effort to not drink cheap drinks (Goodbye £1.60 G-A-Y "wine"). I'm also not going to mix spirits and wines in one night out.

For saving, since my promotion I am in a better position to put a little bit away each month, a nest egg for when I want to buy an egg or a nest. I will set up a standing order and that will be that, I hear by swear I wont just transfer the money bank into my account like I've done in the past, I'm a changed man!

Tomorrow I will post my list of things to do in 2010...I'm off out now though, time to put the above into practice! Wish me luck!
First post of the New Year - HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! Still thinking about my New Year's resolutions so will be posting that very soon but before that it's time to empty my "wall of memories".

Wow that sounded more theatrical than I intended, let me explain...I have a plastic multi pocket thing that I got from Habitat a while ago, it hangs on my bedroom wall and I like to keep bits and pieces in it, you know tickets, photos and other things that have made me laugh over the year, well now it's 2010 I think I should empty it and start afresh.

With risk of sounding like a pubescent girl keeping a box of things that really should be thrown away like cinema stubs and used napkins from various dates it's actually quite a nice way to remember the year...stay with me haha! Here it is as of 2nd December 2o10.
