coloured Contact Lenses, 30th Party & Yoga
Posted by Violetsteel in Health, Journal on 26/07/2010
Pete was working away from home the weekend just gone, they had a catalogue launch in Widnes nr Liverpool. Becky kept me company some of the weekend though and we went to watch Twilight Eclipse for the 3rd time in cinema. Yes we are somewhat obsessed. I think we are going leave it at that now though and wait for the DVD. Afterwards we saw Steve and Greenie in town for a quick drink and then Becky came back to our place for a little while. I however drank loads of cider and stayed up till 4am.
I’ve ordered some coloured conact lenses. I’ve always wanted light coloured eyes, but coloured contacts have always been really expensive and incredibly fake-looking so I’ve never tried them. On Sunday my interest was piqued again, so I did a search for “coloured contact lenses for dark eyes” and found a forum with a long discussion about them, and photos of people wearing them which looked great, so I followed a recommended link and came to contactlenses.co.uk which stocks a wide range of professional contact lenses coloured and normal. Thy have good prices and range to choose from, and the reviews for their coloured contacts were really good, so I’ve ordered some.
I’m both excited and nervous at the same time as I don’t know what results to expect, or if I’ll have the confidence to leave the house with them in. They were dispatched today so should hopefully arrive in the next few days.
I’m getting more and more interested in yoga. I’ve only done it a few times, but the flexibility, relaxation and body & mindconnection really appeals to me. I might try give it a serious go and try do a bit each day before work.
My 30h Birthday party has been organised by Pete and Becky. Luckily my Birthday is on a Saturday, so I get to have my party on my actual birthday. I’m trying hard not to get any expectations to avoid disappointment, but I am actually really looking forwards to the celebrations 
And of course Pete it taking me on holiday somewhere which is all a secret, so i’m very excited about that

in Milton Keynes the week after getting engaged
We had our joint engagement party & welcome home Becky party on saturday night, we definitely had fun but at the moment I’m annoyed at the people that just didn’t pitch. I invited my entire extended family, and other than Becky and her parents, not a single one of them arrived. I don’t mind the people that replied saying they couldn’t make it, but some said they would, and others were maybes but not a single one arrived. Pathetic. Various friends and colleagues also didn’t arrive, so it was a very disappointing turnout. In the end this actually helped because as it was, we had such a mixed group of people that it was actually hard work trying to talk to everyone. But it’s hurtful when people don’t even drop you a txt to say they won’t make it and then make lame excuses. It’s not ok.
It’s not the kind of event I would ever do again. It also reminded me why I know not to get expectations up for any kind of get together. People will inevitably let you down and the impromtu get togethers are always the best anyway.
However we did have loads of fun with the people that did come. We got a lovely gift from Pete’s colleagues and a signed card that Gemma arranged. I really thought it was so lovely that she went to such effort. We stayed out very late and Liam, Greenie and Becky ended up back at our place, drinking until the sun came up.
Summer has certainly arrived. The weather has been spectacular all of last week and the weekend. Yesterday Pete and I spend the day on the couch watching Season 2 of 24 recovering from Saturday, but I did managed to take advantage of the heat and get the freezer defrosted.
The Lost Finale aired here at 5am this morning, I’ll be watching that tonight, so I am avoiding facebook and twitter so I don’t read any spoilers. It is also my God-Daughter Libby’s 4th birthday today, so I’ll be popping around there to wish her a happy birthday and give her her birthday pressie this evening.
Facebook, £20 & Engagement Party
Posted by Violetsteel in Journal on 21/05/2010
It seems facebook is creating waves with their overly complex privacy and account setting at the moment, and many are theorising that this can lead to the decline of facebook and open the market to new competitors. Personally I don’t know if this is as serious an issue as it’s being made out to be. Yes the number of customisable account setting are totally ridiculous and many people are probably sharing information publicly without realising, but facebook has already stated it’s looking at simplifying this, and the amount of publicity the issue is receiving, they’d be stupid not to. On the whole though I think most users aren’t actually that bothered, and possibly not even aware. Those of us who follow the news and tech sites will know about the current state of affairs regarding this issue, but the avarage user probably doesn’t. I know from the span of my friends, family and colleagues on the site only a small handful are “power users” that follow anything beyond that goes on beyond their wall posts, the rest are happily oblivious to there being an issue. I can’t see there being a mass flocking to any “competitors” just yet. What are your thoughts?
£20
Did you know the old £20 note is starting to be withdrawn from circulation? Time to clear out the old matress and get your old notes exchanged for new ones.
Engagement & Welcome Home Becky Party
Tomorrow night is the party we are having in town to celebrate my and Pete’s engagement, and also to welcome home my cousin, Becky, who’s moved back home after living in London for 3 years. Hopefully we have a good night with friends and family. I’ll take pictures.
