Alive

I am alive :) It is 4 weeks before the end of Spring term so all the assignments have been coming out, so I have been so busy with them oh and my driving lessons are going really well right now, fingers crossed I'll pass at the end of April. I had to cut the lessons down to one a week while all this crazy university work is going on but in my holiday I am going back up to three a week!

My week is a little bit crazy at the moment, here is my schedule:

Monday - up at 6am, lessons from 9am till 3pm then home again (must add it takes me a total of 4 hours to get to and from university).
Tuesday - up at 6am again, lessons from 9am till 4pm, home again
Wednesday - all day university work, from 8am till 9pm at night I am getting worn out
Thursday - up at 6am again, lessons 10am till 3pm
Friday - driving lesson and more university work
Saturday/Sunday - university work, housework and all that fun stuff

I am so tired from all the university work I have to do, and it is all I do 24/7 well apart from sleeping of course. Drama the other day husband fell down a flight of stairs at the train station landing on his tail hone, he was in so much pain he couldn't move all evening had to lie on the bed, I thought we would have to go to hospital but he seems to be okay now still can't walk very fast, has pain here and there but looks like he has just bruised it, I hope anyway.

Other news we had a power cut yesterday, no power for two hours and I was in the middle of doing an assignment and the computer went "bing" and everything went out, the thing that annoyed me the most was there was no information on the helpline it kept just telling me that knew about the problems, pfft!

I'm off to do some more assignment or sleep or watch Big Bang Theory (just finish How I met your mother all 5 seasons, so good!!), a green kitchen post tomorrow since I had to clean my kitchen for two hours today.

Snow!

Snow Day



So we have a snow day today not as bad as back in February this year - Snow, snow and more snow & Britain set for heavy snowstorms. But it was quite impressive, husband cannot get into work as the trains are all delayed and well I was off anyway due to Christmas holidays...

Other things happening this week our bathroom has started to be tiled and updated which is very exciting and it will be nice to have a shower at last and tiles on the wall!  Oh and made 30 reindeer shortbread biscuits for the husbands team at work, what you think? I had to fix some of them as they broke in half with icing which was interesting, I think it worked.

Drained

Sooooo I didn't get the scholarship which is really disappointed, I found out on Monday but haven't had a free second to come and blog, it's a bit rubbish as I cannot apply next year as I am third year student then :( Oh well, it was worth a try.

In other news (good that is) I managed to get a 65% for my algorithms assignment and even bigger shocked I got 78% for my last database assignment, that puts me in a 2:1 or 1:1 (so a first or a second hons degree) which is what I have been trying to work for this term, trying to get my marks up to 60% so far it hasn't gone that well I have passed my assignments (40%) but not the marks I want but oh hum, this term has been a bitch.

Friday night was fab, it was one of my best mates birthday, she is 24! Now as old as me :P

Pictures under the more tag :)

Weekend

Just wanted to say that it looks like IComLeavWe has started up so I am commenting, I kind of failed on the first day due to being in London but I am back and commenting like no tomorrow :)

Had a crappy night sleep last night, went to bed at 11pm, couldn't sleep at 1am my neighbours started having some domestic issues and was shouting, our walls behind the houses are quite thick not thick enough by the looks of things and all we could hear until 4am was shouting, her kids banging and making noise and the sound of breaking things, even my sleeping tablets couldn't put me and my husband asleep... bloody stupid if you asked me so I got to sleep at 5.30am then was suppose to be up at 6.30am but me and the husband decided not to go to work and me to uni as there was no way we would survive a day on an hour sleep for me and no sleep for him..

I am pretty annoyed that I have missed uni again... not a lot I can do about it, I only have three weeks left till the end of term and you don't know how happy I am about this! Year 2 has been a bitch and half..

Oh I got banned from google ad sense not from random spam bots (which seem to have come in their thousands lately! seriously I thought that wordpress was suppose to stop the spam, doesn't seem to be working!!!) clicking on links but due to my content in my weblog according to the e-mail my content and links regarding my sponsored blog posts are mature.. well I am 24 so I will say what is on my mind, oh hum, I think I will just stick to my paid blogging I have never found ads a very good way to make money anyway.

It was great to see my dad on Saturday plus his new soon to be wife (well not new, she has been my unofficial stepmother for 14 years but they are now engaged! I couldn't be happier for them both, it is about time if you ask me!), my brother, his friends and his not girlfriend who was a very sweet girl, I liked his new uni friends! The show was amazing, this is the Erotica show, the fuel girls were they playing fire quite scary and we got great seats to the show in the VIP section thanks to my daddy creating their show guide for the last 11 years.  Got lost at Clapham Junction who knew that station had 16 platforms and I nearly missed my connection train home!!!

Since I am off today now, I think I am going to the supermarket, finishing my course work for Thursday and do the six paid blogging I have in my inbox, I am a little bit nervous about doing the socialspark ones as it is the first time, fingers crossed :)

Futurama

I'm in a much better mood now! I have handed it in my assignment even though it isn't complete or working, but the read me file is pretty :P


I am now working onto my networks project which is to create a basic ftp and my program analysis which is well I'm not 100% sure what I am suppose to be doing but I am sure it will be fine :)


Still watching Futurama, and I was watching the out takes and it is weird hearing the voice without the drawings on the screen...looked it up season 6 will be here soon :) yay! I am sooo excited!!!


haha



Fry: Hey Professor can I ask you something about Bender?

Professor: Of course Fry, show me where on this anatomically correct doll where he touched you.

Ha ha, gotta be my favourite line of this film :P

Scottyland

Good afternoon from Scottyland, the weather is interesting, it was raining now it is half sunny/half dark clouds. Today I haven't done a lot catching up on the paid blogging is a must as I need the money for Christmas presents, I always like Christmas!!! I started shopping about a month ago and have already managed to get 5/6 presents mainly for the husband and one for my stepdad.

I have done a digital-damita vblog but haven't had a change to put it up on the internet maybe get the husband to upload it for me then I can blog it, hope it isn't too boring :(

Okay I am off to have chicken, mayo and cheese sandwiches, oh the joys are staying with the parents is they make all the food for you! Yay for no cooking!!! Blog later xxx

Catch 22

I have mentioned the job in the bridal shop before back in March and in the last couple of posts, I did manage to call the tax office and it is true I will lose my £60 a month which is a pain in the arse so out of working for a month after travel costs I would bring home about £30 and that isn't worth me spending 6 hours of my Saturday in a shop, okay if it was computer related then yes I would do it in a second even if it was only £30 a month, it is only a bridal shop and I will not end up in retail again after my degree.

It is really disappointing but after talking to my dad (best advice giver ever!) and my husband, I have come to conclusion not even wasting their time with the job trial as it will be wasting my time and their time when I have no intention of taking the job.  It sucks being on this level of poorness in the UK, I am screwed if I get a job as we lose money from the government and from uni, if I don't have a job then we are poor, it is like a catch 22.  At the moment I earn about £200 a month from ebay and paid blogging so that will be added onto the £300 I get from uni a month, which is more than I would get at any low hour paid job.

Also I found out an interesting fact that if I earn over £300 a month through other income then I have to say what I have earned, which is NOT happening, not that I earn over £300 a month regularly, £200 extra is pretty good going :)

Anyway I am feeling a bit low now, I just wished it could of worked out but I do hope to go back to another retail job in December as I loved it there last year! And it was amazingly fun ;)

So went with the leggings

Title says it all, I went with leggings because by the time I went out at 9pm after my bag had broken oh and the stone out of my engagement ring is MISSING! It has fallen out somehow, I never wear it only when I go out and I was in teh house all day yesterday and the husband got home from work and I was starting the tea and bath, went to put some leggings on and came back down stairs to look at my hand and see it MISSING! Lucky for me I have insurance but I am still pretty pissed about it all.

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!

Addiction of Farmville

So I know it's pretty late for blogging, well late for me, 9pm I should be watching rubbish on telly but I just had a bath and hubby is trying to get his toy working, his own nintendo 64 but his remote won't work and he has left me so he can go and get batteries instead of getting in the bath since he has work in the morning.

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!

farm

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!

hvector

And the before picture

Okay I'd better go and help the husband with his new toy setup, night night all.

Calling in sick..

Not a lot going on this morning, the hubby is sick and I had to call into work for him, it was the first time I have used the line, "Hi this is boytoy's wife, he isn't coming in today as he has flu symptoms", makes me feel like a mum calling in sick for her child.  Oh well he is sleeping at the moment and I am getting on with the mountain of work to do, I think I have about 50 + posts to write over the next month and a bit.

On top of that I have to sort out the ebay and re-list everything, I think it should be 290 items because I have to delete a load due to private sales, and I need to know which items I still have in this house, it is hard when I have 200 + comics.  And I have decided that I really need to finish screen captures the movies and tv shows on my fansites, I have been working on Romijn-Online.net for the last couple of weeks, I am have way through the screen captures, I still have the tv shows to do but the movies are nearly all done, thank goodness for that!

My computer is really going for it this morning, not only am I using the screen capture program, I am downloading, watching BBC News live and uploading files to the server.  I am surprised it hasn't crashed, good thing this machine has great RAM otherwise I would be a little screwed!

Oooooh I will have to tell my husband just watching the BBC News about alien files have been released to the public, he will be happy about this!

Lazy day...

Whoa being on holiday makes me become so lazy, I was up at 7am-ish this morning, made the boytoys lunch, fed the cats (Onion has decided that his kitten food is waaay to boring and now wants to eat the big girls cat food, so am having to feed the girls on the kitchen top which is out of his way but still he turns up his little nose at his kitten food, also something else he has been copying is going in thier litter tray, I don't really know if the girls like this but I have caught him doing it, oh well at least he isn't going on the floor), and then watched E! (gotta love that channel!).

Then I spent the last 4 hours working on my friends website, she is new blogging, add her to your blogroll ladies ;) Freya I did advise her she should join the wonderful Lavish!

Now I have a cup of tea, going to make a fag, have my fingers attacked by Onion and call my dad then maybe after all that I will do paid blogging, god I should do my to-do list again!!!

Oh and some pictures of us doing the living floor, turned out interesting, WRONG COLOUR!!!

I fell out with Mary Jane, I don't speak to Lois Lane and i missed that bullet train, but now i know i'm glad i...

Good morning world, okay well I have 15 minutes until it is good afternoon world. Hubby is on an 1 till 8pm shift tonight so he just left and won't be home till 9pm, which is alright because I have so much work to do, I have 23 paid blogging to do (Don't think I am going to do it all today) and 1 survey plus package up all the ebay I have sold this week about 17 parcels and I have another 3 selling which is pretty good going since it has been dead for the last week! Nice to be selling these comics I paid so much for!!!

My MIL came over earlier this morning to drop off food, flavoured water and sweets, she wanted to see baby Onion and thought he was very cute.  We let the girls out again and Onion has been trying to make sure that he is the boss of these two 1 and half year old females, so he has been biting which they are not impressed about and spend most their time hitting him.

sdc13624

Oh and this is my hand covered in scratches thanks to Onion and they hurt :(

sdc13621

Other than the ebay and blogging, I am just going to chill, I am hoping to see my best mate later today but haven't heard from her and I have no money to top up my phone :(



Love this song
"Writer's Block"

I get this writer's block, it comes as quite a shock,
And now i'm stuck between a hard place and the biggest rock,
In my own head consumed. I sit back in my room,
Its like the tapestries of life get tangled in the loom,
I'm like a butterfly, caught in a hurricane,
My pulse is quickening as my heart plays a new refrain

Im lovin' Mary Jane, flyin' with Lois Lane,
On board a bullet train
Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
Don't know yet if i'm glad i came

Sometimes at night i think too much,
About life and love and music and stuff

I'm livin' in the past,
My clocks an hour fast,
Should really go and make a coffee but i can't be arsed,
I've lost my mobile phone,
You'll have to call my home,
On second thoughts just leave a message when you hear the tone,
My grimy windows show the early morning glow,
Another day, another dollar in my one man show,

Im lovin' Mary Jane, flyin' with Lois Lane,
On board a bullet train
Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
Don't know yet if i'm glad i came
Don't know yet if i'm glad i came

I fell out with Mary Jane, I don't speak to Lois Lane and i missed that bullet train
But now i know i'm glad i-
I fell out with Mary Jane, I don't speak to Lois Lane and i missed that bullet train
But now i know i'm glad i-
I fell out with Mary Jane, I don't speak to Lois Lane and i missed that bullet train
But now i know i'm glad i-
I fell out with Mary Jane, I don't speak to Lois Lane and i missed that bullet train
But now i know i'm glad i came
But now i know i'm glad i came
But now i know i'm glad i came

Baby Onion

Well we have a new kitten, he is very cute and very small, only 5 weeks old and when we got him, he was hungry, had fleas and worms and was looking dirty.

We took him to the vets and they checked me over, gave him medication for his worms and fleas, and he has  to go in for his injections in like 3/4 weeks.

sdc13248

He has his own pen upstairs in the office, this is because the girls need to have the run of the house and he will get lost as he is so small, the girls have hissed at him twice but he doesn't seem that bothered, just wants to play with them.

I am hoping to move hosts as I really need the money so I want to do ads and paid blogging just to keep be busy over the next couple of years while I have no money, and I am now working full-time doing ebay, surveys, ads and hopefully paid blogging, also joined a website for writing reviews and two for selling my stock photography images :)  Hope it works.

Okay I am off to see Harry Potter and go to lunch, enjoy your Sunday everyone :)

Revision can be fun? Eh?

So with only 14 days until the exams, I have been revising for 2 hours aday for the past 5 days, it is going well so far, I have managed to cover one module and stuck all my revision notes on the wall above my computer so I can look at them, I am now starting the next module, the exam for that is the same week as the revision notes stuck to my wall..

Not only am I revising for 4 exams (should be 7 but I have past 2 and the other one I by passing as it is horrible and I failed the coursework miserably) , I have one more assignment to do before the wedding and that is due in next Thursday and I haven't even started that... sigh...

Then we have the main event, the wedding in 10 days!  I am nearly there, I still have to create the picture boards, finish the table decs, buy ties for my brothers, hair dye for the hubby and hellium which I really should do now as it won't come in time.

I will be thankful when all my exams and wedding is over then I can get back into my websites and ebay sells... I have about 350 comics to sell on ebay, I have only listed 41 so far, should make me a profit of 1122, well I have to take of ebay cost, paypal and the postage but I should hit at least 900 plus for them so it is all good :)

Returned late Friday night, boytoy picked me up from the airport, watched the new Red Dwarf which weren't as good as before juts like recycled storylines..

Saturday, I can't remember what I did, I think I went to the bank and the cheap cat food store...

Sunday, I had a fake tan which now I look a little bit orange, it looked good the night before but now I look a little patchy crappy!!!! and I had sunday roast around my mums with boytoy joining me.

Okay I'd better dash otherwise I've gonna be late for my mum and grandma and wedding make-up shopping!

Things can only get better

Aw I just lost all my last post which is really annoying!!

Things are looking better, me and boytoy have decided to shop at a cheaper supermarket, makes our monthly food shop £60 instead of £150 which is amazing!

Plus I had a job interview at a bridal shop today for Saturday work, I really hope I get it!! It would be so much fun but I'm not gonna get my hopes up and I will find out Monday evening.

Went out last night to see my best mate bf's band and it was really good, ran into my brother down there and went home at 2am as my feet were hurting, that will teach me for wearing such high boots!!

I have this new software space which I got from the government and its pretty cool. All I have is a microphone and then it types it onto the screen when I speak, it's great!

Edit! Also I have managed to only go over my budget by £28! Get in there!

Happy Friday 13th!

Why is that once I have updated wordpress to the newest version another comes out, wtf! Seriously give me a chance!  Mmm I might have to do that when I ever have time to go for a poo!

Uni is driving me crazy, last Computering Machine assignment mark came out today and I have 1 mark of a pass which pretty much pissed me off but oh hum, the assignment is only worth 12.5% (don't ask!) , and I have another 3 to do and then an exam to get my final grade, joys!

I need 90 credits to pass this year so far I have erm.. 24, I should get another 12 once I have done one units exam and I only need 9 marks :)

This is my subject this year..

The bold ones are the ones I am doing now, Computing Machines is kicking my arse up and down this house, driving me nuts, I am working on assignment 2 which has to be hand in Monday.

Plus Programming needs part 2 done by Thursday which I haven't even started yet and everyone keeps telling me that this part is a bitch to do!

Then there is group work with my program design work to do and I swear we haven't done everything for one part of it but will they listen to me, no! And HCI there is an informal chat on Monday for my group and we have done fuck all so that should be fun!

Other than that dribble, I have been buying everything for the wedding, saw BM once to get some food shopping done and to get my xbox online which should be super fun whenever I get chance to play it, maybe in the hols? Pleaseee???

Next week is half term for some people but not for me, I am suppose to be seeing the BM on monday night but need to change it as I don't think I will have all my work done, then seeing my hair dresser friend on Tuesday to talk about my wedding hair, Wednesday should be a FYEO shoot with BM and her photographer mummy, Thursday I am going to get my wedding dress fitted with my mum and the weekend erm.. uni work more than likely as we are entering week 6, ekk!! Only 4 weeks left of this term.

Exciting news my new 42" telly comes tomorrow!! Yay! About time really, the telly we borrowed from my mum keeps losing the sound so this so exciting!!!

Okay back to finishing this assignment, the boytoy went to the cinema with his best man tonight so I have time on my own :)

1GB yeah baby!

I am really pleased with myself as I just managed to upgrade my RAM on my PC to 1GB instead of 512Mb and it is working like a dream, I am more than likely going to get more RAM for it in the next couple of weeks.

Started my new job and lets just say I am not loving it, I am at the moment job hunting again, I was stupid enough to go back into a supermarket, well it's my own fault but I think I might have an admin job lined up but I won't hear about it for the next couple of days but in the meantime I am just applying like there is no tomorrow..

Oh well, I will just think of this job as a xmas temp role and it will make me feel better...

Urgh I am such a silly bugger sometimes..

Stess, Stress, Stree Part II

So it has been a stressful week with Erotica, the boiler breaking, not being able to find a job, two job interviews, getting a job, money and the whole uni assignments plus presentation.

Well I have a new job which is super! Gotta sort out my money joined a spending diary website which will help me look at what I am spending and on what! It's shockingIdon't like looking at it but maybe it will help me?

I did my presentation got a 74, which I am dead pleased with as 40 was the pass rate, got my Java in on time and I think the boiler has stopped leaking.. fingers crossed.

I have only 4 more assignments until the end of term, 3/2 weeks, so it is all good and start training for my new job on Saturday :)

Here is some pictures of me and my brother at Erotica at my daddy's stan, I would post more but I am sooooo tired...
