Sleepy

It was a busy day today, went to the jewelery shop to sort out my ring as you know I lost the stone in the middle of my engagement ring, somehow in my house dunno where, I think the cats might of run off with it or it fell down into between the floorboards, who knows!  But I do have a replacement ring coming after the honeymoon, so I am pleased :)

Then we went to the bank paid in some money, late wedding gifts! Also went to boots to get shampoo and other boring items, to pound land kind of shop to get boxes and picture frames for my brother's leaving present and to the computer shop to get them to fix the husbands main computer while we are away.

Quick stop at home then back out to two supermarkets and the office post, am feeling so tired now plus I was forced to get up early by the husband as it is his dad off! So didn't even get a lie after my three hours of sleep the other night.

Brother's leaving drinks tomorrow and the family Sunday Roast on you guessed right Sunday, it all feels a bit busy for my living as I like the dull life but I better get use to being busy with uni starting back up in four weeks...

Okay I'm going watch the rest of Paycheck which is a very odd film, kind of like Dollhouse!

6am

Whoa I have been up since 6am, I haven't been up this early in nearly 6 months, talk about strange, my brain isn't working you are going to have to forgive me about spelling and order of this post!

I feel alright about not taking the job, I didn't even get a reply to my e-mail which to be honest is quite rude, oh well some people haven't got manners.

Had a bad night sleep, for some reason Kit was awake at 3am, meowing and scratching the door for about 3 hours, so really I have been up since 3am, means I have had about 3/4 hours sleep, which pretty much sucks for me but it is worse for the husband since he had to go to work.

I don't know why Kit was meowing maybe it was because it was really windy and raining hard last night, that could of upset her but if it was that then the other two would of joined in for the hell of it.  I think it was because we ran out of cat biscuits so she was protesting, urgh!

Yesterday I spent the day doing my brothers leaving present, managed to get friends box-set season 1  to 10 for £45, bargain, tomorrow husband off so I am getting the cans and other food supplies for his dorm room, also burning him a load of TV series and what not. Oh I also managed to get mobile numbers, address and birthdays for him of the family because he doesn't know what day it is let alone whos birthday it is today.

I checked out the weather in Kos, Greece, compared to where I am, it has rained for the last week and the weather has been rubbish all summer but in Greece 31 degrees sunny everyday, I cannot wait for the sunshine! And some warmth :)

Okay I need my cup of tea before I even think about paid blogging, ha ha!

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 ;)
