What a day.
What a very weird day...
Brother left the house at 8am, hes away in till 11 tonight at a football match in London.
I got up, lazed around, i thought that today would be a lazy day and id have nothing to do...how very wrong i was.
I got dressed around 12 o'clock, still thinking i was having a lazy day.
At 3 o'clock my dad came home, my mum made us a valentines dinner:
we had soup, with bread roll.
Steak,chips, mushrooms topped with cheese and pesto sauce and a glass of wine.
followed by a lemon pudding thing.
It was of course for my dads sake but she made me some anyway.
my mum brought my dads a top and a card, my dad brought my mum chocolates and a card, the same thing they buy each other every year...anyway...
following that, i was still having a lazy day..in till my dad showed me a form he had been given for a job at the hospital.
Iv been looking for a job there for a few months and this one was a new one and his friend had passed it on for me to fill in. I went online, thinking it would take 20Min's..it took me 2 hours..so many questions, my lovely college teacher, Claire Hampton, agreed to be one of my references and i then set to work telling them why i should get the job, my fingers ache so much from writing that.
Just as i got to the end, i got a call from my friend, she had been asking me all day to meet up with her SO i said yes...
i ran..and i mean ran..up the stairs, had a shower and got dressed, in 10Min's flat.
I met her outside my house, she lives on the next road, we walked for a good 40Min's, probably about a mile and half....we chatted and giggled, but we were SO knacked from rushing around that we parted after an hour. we did find a cucumber which made us laugh our heads off..someone muh have dropped it on there way back from the shops..but its so funny just seeing it on the floor...we thought so anyway.
I came home, finish off my job application with the help from my lovely daddy.
my feet ache from walking...my fingers ache from typing...my jaw hurts from laughing and I'm so very ready for my bed tonight.
I am away to watch TV, await my brothers return and generally chill.
Until tomorrow,
have a very happy valentines day.

WOW...

Its 01/02/2010 already!
I still remember crimbo,new year,my birthday... my bank card still remembers them as well...and my waistline...
2 days in till my mummy's birthday,7 days in till my brothers birthday. Oh and not forgetting my mamas birthday on valentines day.
Shops aren't stupid, they really aren't and its this time of the year i really notice this. They have there little lost leaders piled high at the front of the shop.
"2 cases of beer, £12"
Which in turn makes people buy there nuts,crisps and lemonade ultimately turning a £10 shop into a £40 shop.
Easter eggs were on the shelves before the new year and now the festive season seems like yesterday to us and 2 years ago to the retailers, we have Easter eggs on every shelf.
Also stuck on the shelf is valentines stuff, the poor supermarkets just haven't got enough room to shove all the stuff they want us to buy, in our face fast enough.
On the other hand... they wouldn't do it if we didn't buy it, the best thing to do is...
well buy it?
If YOU don't buy it, it doesn't mean they wouldn't do it again, it would take a good few thousand people for these supermarkets to fail.
Did you no they put the items they want to sell more on the left, because most people use that hand to pick things up with...sneaky hey?
anyhow, here's to thinking this year is going way to fast and hoping i have a lovely pile of parcels delivered today or my mum wont have a very nice birthday!
