things have not been good lately.
first i got swine flu, which is never good.
but it was bloody wonderful compared to the fact my beautiful, amazing grandmother has cancer.
i've spent most of the past 4 days in a complete state, i always loved guernica by brand new but now i really, really feel the lyrics hitting me hard.
i probably have other more superficial things to update about but nothing else much matters right now. im going away to fife next weekend with joe. looking forward to that, need the time away. 2 weeks off work as well. we've been together 2 years now. long time! |

been a while, yet again.
lately ive not done much but work. my job is awesome and i love it, plus im pretty rich. i bought myself some amazing things lately. paul's boutique loves barbie bag, disney couture mirror necklace, and oh my gosh snow fairy solid perfume from lush. i am quite enjoying life.
i'm starting to try and learn keyboard/how to read music. at the moment i suck, but i have been sat playing dark blue by jacks mannequin this morning and it is making me really very happy. joe bought an awesome retro casio keyboard so i am pretty much claiming it as my own.
joe and i are going to www.yellowscott.co.uk next month and i can't wait. |

haven't updated in ages. um.
i got a new job. it's working as a support worker with vsa, adults with disabilities. i get to work towards being qualified on the job, its pretty well paid, and best of all, its permanent! first time i've had a perm job since this time last year. mint. my disclosure and checks and references are back, and i'm starting a week on monday.
i'm sad to be leaving my current work, today my girls presented me with chocs, a card and a box of cupcakes. bad for the diet, ace for the tasty. i will miss them. i'm taking next week off to relax and chill out with joe before i start at vsa.
joe and i have been at the gym a lot lately, feel really determined to lose weight this time. if i get my bmi low enough i'm going to have a tummy tuck, maybe. hated myself for too long now, its about time i got a chance to feel nice.
i've been buying quite a lot of things lately. ( pics ) |

i don't have much reason to update, really. i've had a really busy weekend, as always. on friday night soph and i went to see rent, and it was pretty good! the manager from my old work was playing angel :)
yesterday i went into town with my dad and his girlfriend. he bought me a bag and a dress. yay! i also went to peacocks and bought myself a dress. http://www.peacocks.co.uk/Womenswear/Dresses/Evening_Dresses/BLACK_SLEEVELESS_BELTED_DRESS_-44662029.html
that's not a good picture though, it's much nicer in person! also. why do peacocks have like 10 x the amount of stuff online compared to instore? rubbish!
i'm also thinking i should buy this; http://www.peacocks.co.uk/Womenswear/Dresses/Evening_Dresses/PINK_50S_JERSEY_VEST_DRESS_-36916079.html
cause those kind of dresses are good for my shape- big boobs, small waist, big hips.
i've also discovered that the katie price bras from asda in a 36G fit me. awesome!
today joe and i went up to see my gran. those two are becoming the best of buddies and it's awesome. my gran gave us a record player in a little case, it's wind up and is from the 1930s. it is...incredible. joe and i also bought a new bed today. can't wait for that to arrive! got to paint the bedroom first but then it'll be really cosy. love how this is really becoming our home now. having money is great.
i can't stop listening to i can feel a hot one by manchester orchestra lately. i'm usually more of a fan of happy songs but i couldn't help but be touched by this. ( lyrics ) |

i got my car.
:D
i'll post up pictures over the weekend. i love it. i really, really love it. driving it has been fine, bar sometimes stalling cause im not used to the clutch, but i'm getting better. learning to drive and getting a car is probably the best thing i've ever done with my life. it is amazing. took the office girls out for ice cream this afternoon, then went out to pick up my little brother after work.
i've driven about 150 miles in the past day. can't get enough of that wonderful driving.

i'm picking up my baby on wednesday at 1pm.
clearly not actually my car, and obviously pilfered from google image search, but you get the idea! same model, same colour, just with 2 more doors! still can't believe i fucking passed. the moment the examiner said "you are now licensed to drive a vehicle unsupervised" makes me grin like a tit every time i think about it. every time i look at my pass certificate i grin like a tit. i'm so happy i've done it- it took 2.5 months from clueless-passed, and i paid for everything myself. i didn't rely on mummy or daddy to fund me through lessons, it's my own doing. and that's just ace. it's the best feeling knowing something was done off your own back, no help from anyone. now i just need to buy a sat nav and the summer road trips can commence! me, joe, soph, doop and joss are going to landmark. ( http://www.landmark-centre.co.uk/ )
it'll be brilliant.
joe and i are doing very financially well now (or we will be as of next week, after my car deposit is paid off). it's pretty brill. after bills and stuff, together we must have at least like £300 disposable income a week or something. maybe more. probably a fair bit more actually now i think about it.... which is pretty brilliant. but nuts. i've pretty much given up boozing and smoking now too, so even more money!
does anyone want to be my last.fm friend? i'm a loner. my username is killerqueeeen if anyone wants to look at what crap i've been listening to. |

i love lazy bright sunny sundays listening to ben folds. i love ben folds. i love days off work. i love the sun shining in. brilliant.
last night me and mark sorted our travel for the impending brand new road trip. we are excited. it'll be a 3 day jesse lacey fangirl session with plenty of being mean about everyone. i am really really looking forward to it! it's in the week before my birthday too, which is so awesome. at least i actually have i.d in the form of my driving license for once in my life, which means i can get drunk and obnoxious and make mark hate me. yes!
joe and i have been together for over a year and a half now. wow, huh? time goes quickly but at the same time i struggle to remember what it was like when we weren't together. so happy though. really happy. i'm really settled and content. i feel like we can take anything thats thrown at us and come out of it stronger and more in love. i am so very blessed.
i feel proper upbeat today. life is good. |

i know its all i speak about but i don't care. i managed to get a driving test cancellation and now my test is very, very soon. fuck! i am scared. it's stupid, cause i know i can drive, theres nothing i'm still to learn (other than to be a bit better at reversing round corners but i'll get that this weekend) but i am still petrified i'll fail for something really fucking dumb.
funniest thing i've seen in ages;
going out with sophie tonight to catch up over a small vino. been too long. |

i booked my driving test. eeeeeee! my driving instructor said to book the test cause i'm virtually ready, he was under the impression test waiting times were only about 3 weeks, but i couldn't get a slot til june :( oh well. will just have to keep checking for cancellations. my car is in aberdeen now, and my eye is on the prize. can't wait to finish lessons though, at the moment i'm spending over £100 a week on them and it means i can't spend money on the frivilous crap i usually would. |

i'm back on the diet wagon again. i'm doing cambridge sole source. 4 packs a day for me instead of 3, what with me being over 5ft 8. the packs are really nice actually. yesterday i had a chocolate mint shake, spicy tomato soup, porridge when i got home and a toffee and walnut shake not long before bed. i am feeling pretty awesome about it all this time. i will be slim again! i don't want to have a gorgeous car at my door and feel anything other than wonderful driving it. i have a long way to go- but i can do it! i know i can. this weekend will be tough as it's joe's birthday, but i don't want to put off the diet cause i'll always find some excuse or another. this week its joes birthday, next is a long weekend off work....etc. so best to get down to business.
i'm not really posting for any other reason than to state my intent about not giving up, and also to avoid going to work. yes, my bus IS in ten minutes. no i am not dressed yet. |

i was always cautious of using them before due to not being able to use normal dye over the top, but lately i've been using lush cacas (henna). my hair feels so amazing i can't even put it into words. great stuff! i had it on for 7 hours today and my hair has come out a nice chocolate-y brown and feels so very nice and soft. went to lush to stock up on caca brun yesterday and ended up coming out with some of the easter egg bath bombs (the candy fluff and chox away ones are SO NICE!) and a bar of chox away soap. i love it. really really.
i'm finally feeling a bit better after being ill for what felt like forever. however, i've still not regained hearing in my right ear after it being so painful i just wanted to cry 24/7, which is kind of worrying seeing as i was partly deaf in that ear anyway from an infection i had before. i hope i get my hearing back. at the moment all i'm getting in the ear is some clicking. which i've had for ages, even before the infection. anyone got any medical knowledge? i don't really *do* doctors.
i did a mock driving test this morning and my instructor said he picked up on 3 minors and that was all. yay! i can even park now!! i am pretty pleased with myself. been studying a bit for my theory test which is a week on thursday, i HATE hazard perception, i genuinely spot all the hazards but i just seem to click too early or something cause it's not giving me the points. well. it is. i'm getting like 4/5 most times but jesus i know fine after the run through i've clicked at every hazard! haters!
so its joe's birthday a week today! i've organised nice presents, nice food and a very nice night in. what i have planned, is way better than going out. so...much better. it'll be his best birthday ever, guaranteed.
the clocks going forward have messed me up. i have a driving lesson from 8am-10am every sunday morning, so this morning i was "actually" up at 6.30 to be ready for 7. you can't just take an hour away and expect me to be okay with it, daylight saving time. no way! joe's having a bath right now but once he's out i'm going to whine at him til he takes me to bed. it probably won't take much persuasion. waaaaayyyyy. seriously though i'm very tired. :( |

i'm pretty down right now.
i've had an ear/throat/chest infection, along with a nice headache inducing very bunged up-ish cold, since last week. it is making my life so very miserable. every day i'm waking up and being like "okay, c'mon, today MUST be the day this fucking clears up?", but no. my hearing is being affected by the infection big time and i just don't want to be awake at all right now. wake me up when i'm better, someone.
also i've let my weight loss slide again. i hate myself. i truly, truly do. i'd go into detail of this misery more, but i just knows that people who are looking for gloating material will be reading this, so never mind. haters. i'm doing something major about it, so don't get too excited.
this sounds weird, but i miss people from my past. not the ones i had to phone the police about. no. the ones i was close with and lost for whatever reason. guys, i want to be friends again. let's be friends. for real.
every other aspect of my life is good really. work is good. me and joe are good. i'm good. i finally booked my theory driving test. i am so lazy. my driving is going well. my instructor said today i'm now very capable of driving and now his job is to fine tune my driving, help me to make my starting/stopping/gear changes smoother, and a little more work on big roundabouts. my dad's made me feel proper shitty about my progress though. because he keeps going on, and on, and on about how his girlfriend's daughter was pretty much test ready after 3 hours of lessons with some MIRACLE WORKER DRIVING INSTRUCTOR (apparently i should be test ready by now,and my instructor is holding me back because he's trying to rip me off). oooh-kaaayyy. i've now had, uh, 22 hours of lessons roughly, and 2 hours private practice, and i'm not fucking far off being ready for my practical test. the average according to dsa is 45 hours of tuition and 20 hours of private practice. so i think im doing pretty well, thanks.
i am full of moans tonight. i totally knows this. but i can't stop sneezing and it hurts god damn it.
it's joe's birthday next week and i'm gonna make it proper special. promise promise promise.
joe is off out to band practice and i am lonely.

| | come saturday - the pains of being pure at heart | ] |
on wednesday i finally got to see jack's mannequin live. it's been a long time coming. being away in manchester was good too. being away with joe is always nice.
( photos.they're big and i don't care )
it was amazing. the andrew fangirls really did a good job of making it seem like a boyzone concert circa 1997 though. think banners, girls screaming and much loud talk of touching andrew's face. sad. also sad was the number of people shouting for soco songs. ugh. get over it. also the fact no one seemed to appreciate the stuff off the new album, which is insane, because it is beautiful.
not that anyone here probably cares, BUT I DO, my highlights were swim, the resolution and lullaby. fantastic.
in other musical news, i've got tickets for me and mark to go see brand new in june! just like old times, we're gonna hit up manchester then glasgow. i am very excited. seeing brand new last time has really ruined a lot of gigs for me, because they were so fucking good my expectations got very high. when i was in manchester for jack's mannequin i bought the pains of being pure at heart vinyl. i am really enjoying it. i also toyed with buying some signed smiths vinyl, but i decided against it.
lately i've been revelling in how very easy and awesome my new job is. well paid, easy work, good people. fun times. my car is gonna be here soon and i need to get a move on and get test ready. i'm not far off. i can't wait for road trips!
i went back to brunette again. i was finding that blondes do not have more fun. thanks a lot for lying to me, stupid saying. |

i've been in pain lately. my bottom right wisdom tooth is coming through and has fucked my gum in front of it, so its sore. woe. can't close my mouth right. woe.
i'll tell you what would cheer me right up though. if someone bought me some disney couture jewellery. my god its beautiful. i love it, especially this; http://www.asos.com/Disney-Couture/Disney-Couture-14Ct-Gold-Plate-Tink-Bangle/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=234493&cid=4175&clr=PinkGold&sh=0&pge=0&pgesize=20&sort=_None
i want it pretty bad.
my driving is coming along pretty well, trying to organise a mammoth lesson for next weekend so i can really get up to speed. still a bit edgy, especially in busy areas, but i'm getting there. i was driving round pittodrie and down the beach today, aberdeen fc home game + nice day meant the general area was mobbed with twats, one of whom ran right in front of my car, child in tow, to try and catch a balloon the kid had let go of. nice parenting/life skills there.
going to manchester a week on wednesday :D then to leeds, i'm gonna hit up the b never too busy to be beautiful shop like woah.
i have myspace again, but next to no friends. i kinda like it better that way, but if you're on my flist on here then you're welcome to add me; www.myspace.com/missashleelou.
my diet is going pretty well. loads of steamed fish, tuna, low fat noodles and green tea by the bucketful. its good. just wish i didnt have so far to go, sigh. |
