Weekly Update!

Chilling, Food, Work and Tents.

On Monday all I did was go to the hospital for a blood test and then onto my favourite hobby which is FOOD SHOPPING!!! I watched far to many Once upon a time's, ate way to much chocolate and thought about far to many things. Monday was just a good chill day, I spoke to old work colleague Ian about a job opportunity, I spoke on the phone with Louise for about half an hour and I listened to a little bit of music which always makes me happy.

I have been actively trying to become more positive, I am on day 24/365 of a book called The Secret, Daily teachings by Rhonda Byrne. So far my favourite page is day 7 which is a quote and all the whole page says is "happiness depends upon ourselves" Aristotle (384-322BC). Some of the book is a bit wishy washy but I try to interpret it differently. At the moment I am trying to write 100 things I am grateful for every day, which is a lot harder than it sounds believe me. Once I think I am full of gratitude I may post bits and pieces from my lists and how I have found writing them.

I spent my first Tuesday not having to take Mum to the hospital doing nothing, I woke up watched more Once Upon A Time which I am far to addicted to ha-ha. I tidied my bedroom which definitely needed to happen. I spent an hour cooking me and Mum a glazed pork, mustard mash, green vegetable and balsamic sauce lunch, it was yummy I am so proud of myself. It was then time to do my make- up, hair and get dressed ready for work.

I left the flat at 3 o'clock as I was going to see my friend to give her a late birthday present and have a cup of tea and a little catch up. Christina had been a little unwell over the last year but I must say she has come so far in the last 8 months I am really proud of her. I don't want to say to much on the subject. We were speaking about the future and how she has put on a bit off weight, how we are both getting on at work and her pets. Christina is writing a book, she has only just started and she made some really pretty birthday cards. I wish I was as creative as she is.

It was now 4.30pm so I had to leave to get into work, I arrived just before 5pm and wrote down the holidays I am going to request off, even though I have only just gone back if I don't use my holidays I loose them. I spoke to Marc my general manager about a few of my ideas and got my friend an interview but I don't think he went. I did a little bit of P.A work for Marc and phoned a person from a C.V. we had and offered him an interview. This was before my shift.

I got out of work at roughly 2am because it was quite busy and we don't close the bowl until 12pm. I was speaking to Louise (my friend outside of work also), Karime and Samira about how the team had changed and their ideas on how to get it back on track. I need as much information so I can attempt to change it. I want the team back to being a family.

One's that I made him try

The one's that we picked.

Sam's current glasses

I woke up at 11am ish and slowly got ready while Sam watched the Gameovergreggy show on Youtube (don't tell Sam but I have a sneaky little watch as well ha-ha). We went to Erdington to get Sam some new glasses, which I have pictures of and I will add them to my blog and Sam will most likely kill me ha-ha. Off to lunch we went as I work on a Tuesday night, I stay at Sam's on the night and we have a little date day, we had a kebab and chips in a chip shop restaurant in Wylde Green Birmingham, called Atlantis Fish and Chip shop. We both ordered the kebabs and we got the small for £6 which filled the whole plate, we only ate half.

After Lunch we went back to Sam's house and built up my tent, Tony and Ade are borrowing it to go to download festival. My tent is brand new and can sleep 6 people comfortably. We made some mistakes and it did take just over half an hour to build. It looks huge, I am so excited to holiday in it. For our dinner we ordered a Chinese, Me and Sam both had BBQ spare ribs and they really were lovely. We watched some Wil Wheaton who I have been a little bit obsessed with since I was like 11 years old and then I went home.

At home I wrote my grateful list and watched Once Upon a Time then pretty much went to bed.
