Holiday etc

bit of a delay with this post
Went to Bilbao on the 10th for 8 days :)
went to bilbao bbk live.
Top bands were : Snow Patrol, Mumford and Sons, Keane and Sum41 :)
Also seen Ben Howard, The Cure, Radiohead, Garbage and a few spanish bands.
Was a really good festival, everything id close together once you get on site and its nice to not have to walk for ages to get around, food was reasonably priced and so were the drinks :).

Overall the holiday had some disasterous moments. but i cba to go into detail.
to cut it short, one friend got mugged at the begining, we had to sleep in an airport car park the last night and one friend got left in brussels n missed the connecting flight. so yeh.

But the Place we went was lovely and i got to go to the guigenhiem art museum which was fantastic. I love David Hockney and he currently has an exhibition on there! which was fabulous. But i wasnt allowed to take any photos which i found out after getting wrong ha.

i did however take some photographs of some sculptures which were around the outside of the museum :)

dunno what else to say really

Got another new leather jacket, safe to say im addicted to them.
this one is brown :) from Zara. its purdy. will get a picture up at some point lol :)

but as of next month im cutting down on buying new clothes. :( which sucks. but i have too. i need to start saving money!!!

also got some new make up from the airport and over there
bought get even by benefit which i like a lot!
A full size lancome Hypnose volume mascara
and some Hoola  by benefit :)

my week

So since ive been off work AND my parents are away, ive had to occupy myself quite a bit this past week.


So on wednesday night after my last day of level 2 hairdressing at college i went to the cinema with Drummer and Jamie to see Abraham Lincoln: Vampire hunter and i must say i actually enjoyed it. it was silly and ridiculous but i like that in a film.

On thursday my friend Laura suggested a trip to kingston park (yes to go to tesco on my day off! i must be mad) So off we tottled. My gosh we couldnt have picked a worse day! We were done then decided to go to lucianos? i think its called for some grub (my gosh id never been before but i must go back! it was absolutely gorgeous italian food nom) and thats when the sky turned black and the bad weather hit. Just after we had gotten our food they had to close the kitchen because it was flooding! when we went back to the car we were a few spaces off getting flooded in but that wasnt even the worst to come! little did we know we had a 5 and a half hour journey ahead of us to get home!! driving through crazy puddle/LAKES lol and being on the tyne bridge just 5 minutes before it got struck by lightening! i seriously cant believe how long it took. Ive never ever seen that much traffic/police cars/ fire engines / ambulances. all because of some rain! We definately need a new drainage system in place so that sort of thing doesnt happen!
 anyways other than that it was a good day, Laura got some things for her holiday, and while we were stuck in traffic we did entertain ourselves with smooth radio blasting and singing alone to some very old school tunes, we got some funny looks! i think we made one womans day she walked past as we were using our phones as microphones blasting along to whitney houston. she laughed to say the least haha.
 when we did eventually get home i was pleased! i didnt think we would. there was one point where i went the wrong turn off and ended up BACK on the felling bypass going towards newcastle.... i was so close to tears. but there was no way i was sitting in that going the wrong way... so our solution? shove the hazard lights on and hit reverse! hahaha. cant say ive ever driven so dangerously but it was worth it. had to reverse right back up the slip road haha good thing i could see if anything was coming down it.

On friday i went shopping with Jamie :)
got some new shoes from new look to wear on friday night
Despite not being in the mood to go out i had a night out with my friends Courtney Owen Katie Martin and my friend Laura from college, i enjoyed most of the night.  but it was just nice to be out of the house and drunk.
spent a while playing around with my hair and make up for the occasion.

Wore my new black dress that i mentioned in the previous post. its pretty see through on the top half oops

these are some of the nicest pictures from the night, its a shame i didnt get a picture of the whole dress its lovely and has a dipped hem :)

On Saturday I got up pretty early and dragged jamie to mcdonalds with me for a breakfast (very mean since he is on a diet, sorry jamie!) then we went to his for a cuppa then mine and watched confessions of a shopaholic and played batman lego 2 and watched random you tube videos all day :) was a nice day.
On the night me and courtney decided we were bored and that trocs and glitterball were on the cards lol. then ended up in mcdonalds :)

Nom. 2 mcdonalds in one day! arent i a rebel. lol

sunday i went to see ige age 4! Amazing film. I love all of the ice age films.
I love kids films in general.
seen some good adverts for some new ones coming out too

got a letter today tell me to go into college on thursday to sort out stuff for my level 3 in september yay!! glad  i got on, dunno what id do if i hadnt, ive never enjoyed anything else as much as hairdressing!

I am excited. been up since 5am and couldn't get back to sleep. only now when its 7am and my alarm has gone off to get up and ready for college am i tired again! typical! haha. ah well nothing a cuppa won't sort? :)

Its also my hand in day at college today. My printer has no ink, how irritating. so gotta print off all my work in the library, cant wait to just print it and get it all handed in, woop! cant wait to be done for the 6 weeks and just reeeeelax! Hope i get onto level 3, fingers crossed.

vivienne westwood, graduating nails :)

Helloo


I got some shoes in the post earlier in the week.

ebay is my wonderful friend <3
vivienne westwood <3
I cant tell if they are real or fake or whatever but i like them and tbh i couldnt care for a fraction of the price lol :) there pretty and comfy and make me happy so thats all that matters right?  lol :)

I am in love with vivienne westwood shoes at the moment, i really want these two pairs there luuuuush

But since they are waaaay too expensive i will just have to keep dreaming! Maybe one day when i win the lottory :P


 Tried my hand at graduating nails this morning from one colour to another... its a bit messy but for a first attempt i like it :)

I miss painting my nails all funky, we arent supposed to wear nail varnish at work unless its 'natural' so i dont paint them as much anymore since i forget to take it off, but i love funky nail varnish it gives my nails a bit personality instead of being boring. so i chose these colours to brighten up my day :)
i think next i may have a go at splatter nails or water marbling :)
or using crystals on one nail or something :)
 







 i finish my level 2 nvq in hairdressing next week! cant wait.
Ive still got 10 case studies to write, i typed up 8 of them last night after work, ended up staying up until half 2 in the morning, but i just couldnt sleep knowing i needed to do them so i had to get some out of the way. Im going to try and do the others now. I wish i had taken photographs of everything that id done, il remember that for my level 3. because finding suitable pictures on the internet is harder than i thought!

ah whey, i best get typing, urgh!!! someone do it for me? ha.

Prometheus

How depressing is the rain :( Im already feeling misarable lately without the weather matching my mood. bring back the sunshine please


Went to see prometheus on wednesday.
I hadnt seen any of the alien films until recently when they were in asda for £8 on blu ray! for the whole set. so i watched them before seeing prometheus.
It was soooooooooooooooooo good. Brilliant. really enjoyed how it linked into alien.
It was actually a little scary too!
but then i guess the others were probably a little scary in their time so it makes sense!

thats about all ive been up to though apart from college, only need two more assessments now and im done :) well apart from having to type up all of my case studies but that should be easy, i hope!

and work. urgh. siiick of working late nights all the time. and its only going to get worse. but i need the money so il just have to suck it up and get on with it!
least until im fully qualified next year.
