Time of the month
God I hate being a woman sometimes, now I just have one of those back heating things around my womb because I could not find a hout water bottle! Because things move in my house without me doing anything, as you can tell I am not impressed and am pretty grumpy :( Bad times
Bank Holiday Monday
What a waste of a day, oh well I'm going to list these remaining bits for ebay well the clothes lot anyway, and do some paid blogging. Then I am unsure maybe tidy this house, it is gross.
I did a strange thing to day, okay you might think this is way to early but as I was buying my sisters birthday present (HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!), I thought what the hell, I have £20 in my bank might as well get in on the offers and buy some ..... Christmas presents! Ha ha! I brought about six presents one for my stepdad and five for the husband.
I have promised the husband a PS3 for Christmas and if I get this job on Tuesday then I will buy it with my second pay check it is about £300, I think, I am unsure to be honest, other than the husband I know what I am getting for my youngest brother Spongebob season 1 and hopefully season 2 if I have enough cash, just got to work out a list for the rest of my large family, god damn my family breeding too much! Four siblings is expensive at Christmas!
Off to call dad for Christmas present ideas for the girls, him and my stepmum.
[edit] Well after working out pay and how much travel will cost plus I will lose working tax credits, I will be £30 better off a month, for working 6 hours a week, how is that fair? I'm going to talk to this job on Tuesday about it, doesn't seem fair, I get into work I lose out on money which I should have anyway!!! [/edit]
Sunday, 30 August 2009
So went with the leggings
My friend and her boyfriend (his 23rd birthday, the tshirt are because of his band)
Now even though I spent ages on deciding what to wear I still had to wear the shirt too!
People doing shots of 88% vodka, which tasted gross!
Then we went out and I lost the use of my camera, got home at 12.30pm and had some quailty time with the husband ;)
Busy week, got that job I mentioned below trial on Tuesday and then hopefully I start Saturday, only 6 hours a week but if I do more than that then I lose my benefits and it will be too much for uni, Saturday night is my brothers leaving drinks party, I do hope Freya will be joining us ;) and then Sunday it is good bye roast dinner for my brother at my mums house. Oh and on Friday we have to get Onion down to the vets for his jabs and take husbands computer to the shop for mending!
Then the week after it is GREECE TIME!!! WOOOHOOOO HONEYMOON!
Okay better go roast dinner is nearly done, yum!

What the hell
First time I have wore this dress in ages, I am debating whether to put some leggings on but it is long enough I think :P
Onion
- Found a hamster, then started playing with it and refused to give it to me until I pinned him down (forgot to mention the hamster has been dead for 9 months!)
- He is sulking after I told him off for attacking my computer screen, he flung himself of my legs, and threw himself down next to the door and now is refusing to talk to me, ha ha!
That is my excitement of the day, back to ebay :P

Addiction of Farmville
I got a strange e-mail today about a job I applied for back in March, but the job was filled and I never heard anything back, anywho they emailed me today asking if I was still interested and free, which I said yes it is only a Saturday position at a bridal shop, fingers crossed eh, won't get my hopes up though.
Oh look at my farm on facebook, it is all mess and Cori, Angela and Caity are all beating me, I pretty much suck at it as I am only at level 6!

Other than that this afternoon I started my very first vector, don't laugh I have only done the face no eyes or mouth or anything else but I hope the end look will be good!

And the before picture

Okay I'd better go and help the husband with his new toy setup, night night all.
Headaches
Took some lensip still not feeling any better going to make an appointment to have my eyes tested :( But lookie what I made, not great but I was bored.

It's a cloud :P

And this suppose to be a bead necklace... unsure about it..
I want to learn vectors really...
No sleep for me
Onion is still being a little pain, he likes to sit on my computer desk right in front of my computer, he either attacks my screen because of the mouse or he attacks my fingers because I am typing and that oh so interesting. Kit has decided she does not like Onion and gets annoyed when he tries to play with her, but I keep catching her playing with him and winding him up, she can't have it both plays, she can't hiss at him for playing with her tail if she is inviting him to play.
Not alot is really happening today, I need to list some of these things for ebay as I didn't get a chance to do it yesterday because I went into town with my muther and brothers, other than that I need to do my paid blogging and tidy the house.
Also I haven't been sleeping, this was the third night where I kept waking up :( Makes me feel knacked and grumpy all day, I have no idea why I keep waking up.
No sleep for me!
So I was watching BBC News and something just grabbed my attention when it says that us brits are downloading random TV shows from America well we have to you have the best TV shows! Supernatural, Heroes and 24 oh oh and LOST! and Top Gear…. oh no we shouldn’t download Top Gear… lol it is repeated every night on dave anyway!

The Guild
Sleep
Paid Blogging that pays
[caption id="attachment_1113" align="alignnone" width="350" caption="payperpost"]

PayPerPost
Now this is the old version, so I am guessing version 3, I like this just because there are so many opps, but they do go on the old google rank system which is a pain in the arse, because the best ones are at google rank 3 or above (sadly I am only on 2 on this site), but they do take 30 days to pay via paypal.
[caption id="attachment_1114" align="alignnone" width="360" caption="Blogtoprofit"]

Blogtoprofit
Now I have had only four offers from them but the pay is really good, they pay every week, I am hoping for some more soon, it did take ages to get an offer though which can be a little annoying!
[caption id="attachment_1115" align="alignnone" width="351" caption="BlogAdvertisingStore"]

BlogAdvertisingStore (was payingpost)
Now you have to wait until you earn $100 and there are not a lot of offers, so I am unsure about this one, I have only do one offer but then saw I had to get to $100 was a little much, I might try just to see if they pay!
[caption id="attachment_1116" align="alignnone" width="350" caption="BloggingAds"]

BloggingAds
I did have loads of offers for this website but then they kept disappearing and it has been dead for awhile now, unsure why but they did pay me the $15 they owed me so they do pay!
[caption id="attachment_1117" align="alignnone" width="343" caption="PayPerPost V4"]

PayPerPost version 4
This one you have to wait until you hit $50, which I managed the other day, the offers aren't very often and there seems to be a lot of people after the same offers but the prices are pretty good!
[caption id="attachment_1118" align="alignnone" width="348" caption="PayU2Blog"]

PayU2Blog
This has to be one of the best ones next to PPP, my first pay was $75 or £45 which is amazing from just posting ads, there is normally a bit of work every month, I have done all mine for August so I am just awaiting Septembers ones now, and they pay every other Friday. Also got to mention their website is painfully slow!!
Other ones I have joined and not heard anything back or had no offers are LoudLaunch, Snapbomb (which has been down for about 3 weeks now!), LinkWorth and Smorty (which I have no idea how to do anything on that website).
Hope that helps :)

Pineapple upside-down cake recipe
This one has no cherries on it as I didn't have any in.
Ingredients
300g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing
250g golden syrup
6 fresh or canned pineapple rings
6 glacé cherries
300g caster sugar
4 medium eggs, lightly beaten
300g self-raising flour
6-8 tbsp milk
Method
1. Preheat the oven to 180°C/fan160°C/gas 4.
2. Grease and line a deep 30 x 23cm baking dish or roasting tin.
3. Pour the golden syrup into the tin, pop in the oven and heat for 2 minutes.
4. Tilt the tin to evenly spread the syrup.
5. Top with the pineapple rings, putting a glacé cherry in the middle of each ring.
6. In a large bowl, cream the butter and sugar until fluffy.
7. Gradually beat in the eggs until combined, then fold in the flour and enough milk to make a smooth consistency. Spoon the mixture into the tin, making sure that the surface is level.
8. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until golden.
To test, insert a skewer into the centre – it should come out clean. Leave to cool in the tin for 30 minutes.
9. Carefully upturn the cake onto a chopping board. Cut into slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
You can have it with custard or just on it's own, has to be my favourite since making it at school, make sure it is cooked right through!
You used to hold me
My office is full of stuff today, it looks like a dumping grounds for everything, I have so much ebay stuff that is either listed or to be listed or to be sent that it is taking up all the room, I thought I would of got rid of this ebay stuff by now but it makes the money.
I am currently saving up for my laptop now which is about £250, I am nearly half way through, yay!
Okay I'd better call my dad and do my other bits :) Maybe have a nice clean office by the end of the day ;)
BTW I am addicted to this song!
You Used To Hold Me Lyrics
Knocked down everything I tried to do.
That sounds something like me holding you.
I've known this can make you understand.
Take my spirit from my open hand.
You used to hold me
You used to hold me
You used to hold me me me me, yeah (x4)
You know better than I do.

Round-up
I am enjoying typing up my recipes, I am hoping that people might give them ago, I have a few in my head that I have to write down but I will get that in the end.
The husband is back soon, so that is all good, he is tired and grumpy though, so it will be a quiet evening, tomorrow I am going over to mums to babysit the youngest brother and to help the older one pack up his room in time for uni :)

Pizza Recipe
Before it goes into the oven
Home-made pizza is the best pizza ever!
First make up the dough, that includes the following:
300g Bread Flour
1 Table spoon of Olive Oil
1 Table spoon of Yeast
230ml of Warm Water
A pinch of Salt
1. Put the yeast into the warm water and let it bubble for 5 minutes.
2. Put the bread flour into a bowl and add the yeast/water mix
3. Add the olive oil and salt, mix all together until it starts to form a dough
4. Leave the dough in a bowl with a tea towel over the top to rise for about 30/45minutes, this might take up to an hour depending on the room temperature or you can place it in a pre-heated oven at a very low heat.
5. After the dough raised, put bread flour and roll out the dough until it is the thickness you want then pop it back into the oven while you do the tomato sauce.
Tomato Sauce
Table spoon of a garlic
Table spoon of tomato purée
A tin of chopped tomato
A chopped onion
Herbs
1. Fry the chopped onions in a pan until they are soft
2. Add the tin of chopped tomato
3. Add the garlic, tomato purée and herbs.
4. Let this bubble for 5/10 minutes, don't let it burn
5. You can either get out the electric whisk and make this smoother if you have a fussy eater or just leave it as it is.
6. Take out the pizza and spoon on the topping of tomato sauce.
7. Cut up some cheese or whatever topping you would like and put on top of the pizza.
8. Place this in the oven, gas mark 5 for 30 minutes.
9. Then eat!

Five words
Seasons
Now I do love autumn when I think about seasons, I think about going back to college or university, I think about my birthday which is 18th of October, I love it when the trees change colours. And then again I like winter because it is near Christmas and the start of a new year which is always exciting, oh and SNOW! I find Spring and the time after Christmas really slow and wet, it is just horrible time of year!
Community
When I think of community I think of Lavish.nu mainly because I have been there for so long and everyone is really nice, I do love the random topics we come out with ;) Also community makes me think of my gurls and my university friends, because when you see someone every day for 9 months at a time, you become slow quite quickly and it is nice to have a support network.
Hobby
Now hobby, I have a few hobbies, my main one is my computer, I am so in love with all technology related stuff, I read, I work and I play all my computer, plus I would be so lost without the internet! Other hobbies are my tv shows, and collecting them, I also collect comics, Angelica dolls from the Rugrats and I love to re-designing my house :) Oh and making things from scratch!
Love
Me and my younger sister H (she is 13 years old and taller than me!!)
My younger sister S (being a chav for the fun of it!)
My younger brother K and me
My younger brother T
My father
My muther
My muther, brother K & Stepfather
T, Dad, Me, H & S
Normally I think of my husband and how we have changed each other for the better over the last two and half years, but then I think of my family, my parents and my siblings. I adore my brothers and sisters more than they will ever know, they always light up my life and made it more interesting, I hope we will still be close as we are all growing up! I don't really show pictures of my brothers and sisters but here is a treat for you all then :P I also have a stepfather and stepmother, but I cannot find nice pictures of them at the mo :P
Self-Love
Now I am not someone who hates they way they look, I don't like my tummy, but I do love my hair and I do think we some make-up I look pretty, I will try and love myself more, at least I am not as vain as I use to be ;)
