.Braid help.
I’ve searched and searched and searched to find a tutorial on how to get this braided updo without any luck…does anyone know of an easy to follow video on how to create it, or can you clever girlies do it and explain it yourself?

.Diet time.
The past two months i’ve been eating whatever i want and snacking like crazy at my desk and i’ve put on aroundhalf a stone…even with all my race for life running!!
So i made a concious decision last night to start up healthy eating again and what did one of the ladies bring into the office today - 8 soft and squishy jam doughnuts, and where did she put them - right at the end of...

.Rain rain go away.
We were going to make the most of our bank holiday monday and paint the coffee table trunk today but as it’s pouring with rain we’ve had to postpone it.
Gives us a chance to get other jobs done though inside ready for our house-warming on saturday! There’s bits of ceiling need painting, plug sockets to secure, photos need hanging and a bloody good spring clean to be done. The...

.First trip to the vets.
One of our local pet stores was holding a free bunny health check today so we took Colin & Crumble on their first adventure to the vets!
They had a good check over and a bunny pedicure along with a cuddle with the vet lady. She said that crumble was very handsome and gave them both a goody bag to take home! :)
We’re currently having a little play indoors before letting them loose back...

.Good plan Specsavers.
Blind me with puffs of air and bright flashes right before I have a sight test…no wonder I need new glasses!
They’re pretty cool frames that i’ve chosen though, and I (reluctantly)splashed out to get the anti-glare lenses seeing as I only use my glasses for computer work and the glare does drive me mad.
I pick them up next saturday and I’m quite excited to be honest-...

.Bunny stew for dinner.
I was just having a little cuddle with the bunnies after their apple snacks when something spooked them and they went crazy….putting four lovely holes in one of my favourite tops.
Guess its a trip around town after my eye test tomorrow to find a new one - annoying!!!

.Another Bank Holiday.
Thanks england, you really are spoiling us with all these long weekends!
I’ve got so many errands to run the extra day will be really useful. There’s taking wheelchair mum and 96year old eva food shopping, getting my eyes tested, baking a lemon tart, having tea (and said cake) with H, painting skirting boards, making a curry…and that’s just saturday!
Roll on 5pm though,...

.Happy Birthday Mummy.
It’s mum’s birthday today but she’s really not in the birthday spirit this year. She has an appointment with her surgeon tomorrow to assess whether it’s time for her to start trying to walk again after her accident, and she’s so nervous.
I really hope he gives her the green light for putting pressure on her poorly leg again. She’s going stir crazy being in the...

.T -24hours till broadband.
O2 are meant to arrive tomorrow and install our phone line along with the magical box that holds our internet!
It feels so much longer than 2 weeks since we’ve been without it, it’s such an inconvinience. We have to change our address on pretty much every card we own and i haven’t looked at my bank balance for a while…i could be broke and not realise it! Once i’ve...

.Where's the sun gone?.
A few weeks ago it was BBQ and shorts weather, now it’s constantly grey and windy!!!
What’s going on England?!
I would love to be able to come home and sit in my garden to read after work. Or drag the table and chairs outside to eat dinner. When it’s sunny it makes the days seem longer and everything seem easier, i really miss it. Our garden’s getting really pretty now...

Strategy for dealing with 3 for £10 wine offers:
Drink the nice bottles first so by the time you get to the others, you’re too pissed to realise they taste like shit!

.The Young Knives.
I went to go and see The Young Knives in Birmingham last night with the boyfriend, ginger one and carly – they were so amazing!
They really do attract a mix of people at their gigs and always take time to talk in-between songs. They know that they’re not a huge band (why they’re not still baffles me!) so they don’t come on stage thinking they’re it. They’re just a bunch of guys from Ashby who...

no-named-hero asked: When you said you were doing personality tests, did you mean like Verbal/Mental Reasoning Tests? How did you think your test went?
And what happens "behind the scenes" for these sorts of things?

.Personality tests.
The important meeting I had last thursday was with a local IT Recruitment Company who’ve poached me for a resourcing job they’ve got at the moment.
I went along not really knowing much about the meeting I was about to have and left utterly in love with them and wanting this job more than anything! Seeing as my office moves at the end of June the countdown really is on for me finding...

.Birthday boozing.
Last night was a lot of fun out dancing and drinking to celebrate the birth of me! The night started with drinks round ours and ended with a cheese and onion pasty from Greggs, what more could you ask for?!
We’ve got so many glasses to wash and cans to dispose of now though…goodness knows what the house warming’s going to be like!
