Alive
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!
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
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
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!!!
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

Catch 22
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
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!

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.

Calling in sick..
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...
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!!!
This is me trying to get it off once he had dried!
Fun picture ;)

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...
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.
Oh and this is my hand covered in scratches thanks to Onion and they hurt :(
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
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.
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?
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 :)
Back to revision... urgh!

A week later
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.
Arthur posing for our wedding thank you cards :)
Monday being bank hol we were off, boytoy did his scrapbook and I listed 16 items on ebay, gotta do more today.
I didn't get that job well I am guessing that since NO ONE contacted me, how bloody rude, seriously!
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
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!
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..

| Core course | Introduction to Computer Systems (30% cw 70% exam) | 12 | ||||
| Core course | Introduction to Programming | 12 | ||||
| Core course | Technical Communication Skills (cw only!) | 12 | ||||

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!
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
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...
