Today Amy and I went shopping to Leeds, maybe catch the end of the sales and just a general catch-up since we don’t see each other that often anymore. And and and. I bought myself a dress! It’s little and black and pretty and it looks SO good. I never ever usually buy dresses, but I wanted something smart for Bob’s graduation ceremony next week, and I found this in the shops.

I’m not going to post a picture (yet) cos I can’t show what it looks like, going to be a surprise next week for Bob and all But ooh I love it. It fits so perfectly and I think it looks great. I tried it on again when I got home to double make sure it’s okay (I always do this with clothes) and it’s just so comfortable and pretty I could wear it all day every day. I wish.

I just tried it on again. God I love it. Maybe I should start wearing dresses more? Comfy dress! I’m not doing anything fancy for New Years, going out briefly to a friend-of-the-family’s house, then coming back before midnight, but I feel like dressing up in the dress when I get back home, so I can start the New Year in STYLE.

Hmm.

Final day!

Hmm will probably be a short entry, cos it was a short day. Bob was working today (I booked it off, obviously, mmm my first non-working day since I started (except obviously weekends)), and my train was a daytime one, 11.10, so we got up nice and early, and set off for the tube. Was about half 8 or so, therefore morning rush hour and therefore packed tubes. Hehe was kind of fun. I’m such a tourist

And Day 3

After the last 2 days of rushing around and keeping busy and all, it was nice to spend today relaxing and unwinding. We were meeting up with Bob’s friends Jason and Rachel today for some yum yum dim sum in town in the afternoon, which would be cool no doubt. I craved this food.

We had a lazy morning. Neither of us felt like getting up early, and I kept doing the whole microsleeps thing, you wake up for a minute or so, then go back to sleep again immediately, and again, and again. Eventually we crawled out of bed a little after 12pm, mainly cos we realised we were due to be meeting Jason and Rachel at 1pm haha. Rush. But luckily y’know, we’re not the kind of people who spend aaages getting ready. Well, not too long anyhow.

As it happens we were slightly late, but we were still there first. We met them at East Putney station and it was chucking it down (again). We didn’t linger and went straight to the restaurant, the Royal China. I guess it’s a good sign when a restaurant has a slight queue of people inside waiting for tables. Fortunately it wasn’t so long that it extended outside in the cold and rain, and despite the slight queue, we didn’t have to wait long at all for a table either. We got a nice round one with a parachuting Santa above it

Right I’m about to go to bed but I’m so excited about the week ahead! Here’s why:

Bob is coming tomorrow to stay for a week. This is the Main Excitement. But tomorrow will be awesome during the day as well before he gets here. Firstly I’m going into College in the morning, tis the Language Dept annual cake competition, and a lot of people from my old classes will be there yay. After that I shall be taking a train straight to Leeds where I will bus it up to Lucy’s flat. Well actually I will take the bus to Subway where she will give me FREE SUBS and THREE ice cream scoops of tuna in my sandwich. Love her.

The good stuff:

• Tis only 2 days til I see Bob again
• I’m seeing my dear Lucy on Friday and I’m taking her to Yo Sushi
• Thing at Greenhead tomorrow night
• Tomorrow is last day of work for 2 weeks
• Sunday is Bob’s birthday
• I just made some fudge and it is yummy
• I am cheered up
• My train tickets for January arrived today, yay more London time
• I signed up to Remember The Milk and it looks fun
• I can’t wait til Friday!
• I got another photo on Explore woot:
• I am thoroughly cheered up again now after a lousy day in the office
• I actually had time to take a lunch break today at work
• For the next 2 weeks I will be getting paid to NOT work
• It’s nearly Friday and Friday means more money
• Ich liebe und ich werde geliebt

The bad stuff:

• Some parcels probably won’t be delivered in time for Xmas. Oh well!

On Saturday, Day 2 of my weekend in London, lots of things went wrong. Lots of good things happened as well, and I had a great day, but y’know, things didn’t go exactly as planned…

We were due to meet Max and co in central London at 2pm. Now, okay, 2pm isn’t exactly the crack of dawn, but we had gone to sleep about 4 or 5am, me and Bob were exhausted from a week of work, and we had a full breakfast to cook and eat before we could set off! We got up maybe half 10, 11ish, Bob and Stu battled it out on Smash Bros while I feel asleep again on the sofa. They dragged Kazzie out of bed about 12, and we set to cooking brekkie. I think we only finished eating about 2pm haha.

So last weekend we had arranged a little gathering to celebrate Stu’s birthday, and since it was in London and all twas the perfect excuse to extend it to last a nice four days to spend some quality time with Bob We’re both working full-time now so our time together gets a bit crippled, but it’s very very very fine.

I took advantage of my flexitime option at work and took Friday afternoon and the following Monday (03/12) off work, and booked me some nice cheap train tickets down south for a weekend with the boyfriend

Ace. Let’s get cracking.

Although I have a wishlist on Amazon on stuff I want, I get mocked for it! So I’ve taken the liberty of compiling this list on here as well. My Amazon list has a primary purpose of letting my family know what I want for Christmas so they don’t have to think about ideas for presents, but I also use the list to remind myself what I need to buy. Cos I forget which CDs etc I’ve been itching to get

This list is more a general one, whereas Amazon is, as you might expect, exclusive to stuff you can get on Amazon

So here we go. Stuff I want:

• CD: Datarock - Datarock
• A couple of 2gb CF cards (SanDisk Extreme III preferably, they’re only about £15 now!)
• Wii
• Canon 60mm Macro f/2.8 lens
• Okkervil River concert tickets
• Tripod for camera
• New bag
• CD: Air - Pocket Symphony
• CD: Royksopp - Back To Mine
• Gloves
• A make your own sushi set
• A proper alarm clock (much as I love waking up to the Steel Samurai theme from Phoenix Wright… I want a real clock)
• One of those LED light thingys
• An umbrella which is actually decent and doesn’t break at the slightest breeze.

Meh I can’t really think of anything. I don’t really have a lot of things that I want.
