A Change, A Change, Would Do You Good

I finally opened the perfume Richard bought me for Christmas and realised just how nice it is to change scents once in a while. I usually wear Angel, which is very sweet and chocolaty. Richard bought me Promesse, which is all blackcurranty.
Suffice to say I love the smell and because I'm not used to it I can smell it more often. Remind me to rotate my scents more often!

Right, now I'm off to look after a rather sick Richard and watch some of Star Trek Nemesis. I forgot what a good team the Next Gen crew make!

Well well well, did we all have nice Christmases? Ours was looking a little shaky but once mum had bullied dad into letting Richard sleep on the living room floor all was well. It was a perfect family Christmas, made even better by Richards presence.
I was very lucky in terms of gifts, some very perfect and well chosen ones were given to me. Richard bought me the most elegant necklace ever, and my nanna a dressing gown that is so very warm, (essential for this freezing cold house!!!). Pride of place on my book shelf is iGentics 2nd edition, one of m course texts next term. Mum and Dad got it me, which means I can buy a course text for the other module AND a subscription to Nature* when my next loan installment comes in.
All in all a very lovely Christmas. My sister didn't moan because I was around and my dad didn't sulk because we had a Richard staying with us :) I hope yours were all as nice.

Thanks to National rail not runnng Boxing Day trains (desipte route planner saying there WERE trains last week), my parents gave us a lift home, which helped somewhat with the fact I'm was working at 1pm at River Island. Which had a MASSIVE sale on. It was so unbelievably busy.
And a little worrying given the current climate. Either way 4 hours insane work earned me £60ish. Give or take the tax mans cut. (I WILL get that back you B*******).

Right well I shall be off now to see where my brew has got to.
Hope everyone is well and happy
xoxo

*because New Scientists just isn't cutting it this year.....

As always it's been too long. But I have, as always been busy. Lectures, coursework, that damned further reading, and 2 jobs.

I've made it through the first part of my second year, although I still have a fair bit of work I still haven't done. Going to work throug it this holidays in a slow steady manner. There's no pressure so it's easier to do.

Richard and I are still happily little loved up bunnies :) The girls have gone home for Christmas
so we've got the house to ourselves. AND we're happily planning our second christmas together :)

We've found a lovely house for next year, which is much nicer than this one we're in. I've still to sort out when we move in, but they said come back in the summerso I shall trot back then.

Now I shall go and find out if they have snow at home and if I can pop home for a couple of days....

Hats off

So in a brief break from all the work I have to do I popped into town with Richard. We wandered around and had a very nice coffee, I can heartily recommend Costa's Maple Syrup Latte, and then called in at Sainsbury's so I could get a sandwich for my packed lunch tomorrow (I'm going to Knowsely Safari Park*). And on our hunt for the prepacked sandwiches I found these:

They came with little woolly hats on! I cannot tell you how excited this made me, but I'm sure you can guess. I spent ages trying to decide which hats to get. No idea what to do with them once I've drank the drink but they are still so very cute. Innocent smoothies are amazing.

*yes it does count as educational. We're looking at ungulates as part of my Evolution and Behaviour module. I hope there are cute fluffy things......

Yes I know, long time no blogg but with all fairness I haven't had any internet access since I moved a month agao. When I have been online it's to print out journels and such likes for uni, because I am a good girl :)
I am very well and happy, thanks for asking. I hope everyone else is good too. Hopefully now I will be blogging more regularly but don't hold out any hopes just yet :)
Newyays I haven't done an awful lot today so I'd best go be productive.
you know you love me xoxo

I only smile in private

Ok so yet again I haven't blogged in aaaaages. *looks embarrassed. With all fairness I have been very very busy flitting from home to Richards to work and back again.

This last week before I go back to university is hectic. Richards spent most of the week packing and is currently repainting his bedroom to hide the fact he's had a million pictures on his wall. The biggest bug bare would be getting rid of his furniture.The second hand shop who originally told us they'd collect it have basically decided they can't be arsed with it. Annoyingly this means he's had to give most of it to the girlfriend of his current housemate. The annoying thing is she hasn't even offered him a penny. Which seems a little bit cheeky of her but there's not much we can do when we need it gone fast.

I can't remember what else has happened to me recently. I managed to pass my theory test which means I will be carrying on driving lessons in Lancaster, regardless of how futile it sometimes seems.
I'm still working at ASDA and waiting to find out if they can transfer me to the store at uni but I think I'll be looking for a job in town as well. It's closer than ASDA which means I could pick up the odd weekday shift. We shall see.

I can't think of anything else I'm supposed to say, but look I blogged :)
Now does someone want to help me pack?
