My coloured contact lenses arrived on the Wed 28th July. I was very nervous and excited to try them when I got home, but they went in without much bother.
Opinion: They are not the most comfortable to wear, I don’t know much about contact lenses but they feel too big. They move a little every time I blink and this causes blurring until each slides back to it’s correct location. This is annoying and irritates my eyes mildy after a couple on hours. At first I liked that they are rather subtle but now I want to try something a little more striking.
Thursday 29th
I purchased 3 dresses from boohoo.com. They were £8 each and ordered them for delivery the next day, £28.99 in total. Bargain! In the evening I went on a minor clothes shopping outing at Matalan. I got a cute cardi to go with the girly dresses I’d bought online, a handbag, black patent high heels (so cute!), and a suggley knitted top to wear with jeans.
Friday 30th
The dresses arrived at work on Friday to my delight, and I looked at them at lunch time. My boss (female) insisted I try them on and show them. I ended up getting stuck in one and having a panic attack in the bathroom and having to shout my colleague to rescue me out of it. So embarrassing. Had success with the second and third and decided I’d wear the third one out that night to my friend Amie’s birthday meal and drinks.
After work, getting ready to go out and the zip on the dress was giving me grief so Pete had to help me zip it up as it kept sticking. We finally got it up and I continued to get ready when the sodding zip opened BELOW the pull tag! FFFFUUUUUU!
The second dress I was keeping for my 30th birthday party so the idea of wearing a new dress was aborted and I ended up wearing one I’ve had a little while, which is rather tight and short, but ended up feeling good in it.
So we went out to an Indian restaurant for Amie’s Birthday. Unfortunately I am not a fan of Indian food, way too rich for my liking. But we had a lovely dinner anyway, all the usual Argos crew were there and we had some good banter with the waiters. Afterwards we headed into town for some drinks and I was asked for ID on our way into Wetherspoons. I told the bouncer I was turning 30 in a month and he said “Bullshit” but then believed me as it would be a ridiculous lie if I was underage. We had a few drinks there and them went to Rich’s house who works with Pete. We stopped on the way to get booze from tesco and again I was asked for ID (must have been the dress!). The girl didn’t believe me though and my friends weren’t allowed to buy for me so I had to smuggle my money to Amie and them Ade to buy my wine! Crazy!
We had a great evening at Rich’s, drinking plenty and playing guitar hero. A real guitar was out too and I insisted Jake teach me how to play. I wasn’t any good! Left about 4 in the morning.
Saturday 31st we were naturally hungover and literally watched back to back episodes of House. Not a bad way to spend a day really!
Sunday 1st Aug, We made cupcakes!It was loads of fun. They came out really well and decorating them was the best part.
I took it easy most of Sunday though as I started with a cold that had been going around the office at work. Joy! So I and watched loads of House back to back again. The cold ended up taking me down most of the week and I was off Tuesday, Thursday and Friday feeling awful.
Thankfully I was starting to feel better on the weekend and we went to a BBQ at Kevin & Jane’s on Sat 7th. I didn’t drink though because of my cold but still had a fun evening. Drove my cousin Lorraine and her family home to save them ordering a taxi. Andy was totally pissed, it was really funny. Pete also ended up really drunk after the neighbor brought out his homemade Damsin Gin. Lovely stuff! Pity I couldn’t have any.
Sunday 8th Pete and spend the day out together. We went to Trentham Estate and bought a cactus to replace out ever dying house plants (this one is names Edmond). and then we went to watch Inception 3D at Cineworld. It was brilliant!
Had a very busy week at work last week, catching up on everything from when I was off sick. Thursday night we went to watch Toy Story 3 on IMAX. Such a cute movie. It may even be my favourite of the 3. The monkey with symbols was hilarious, as was Ken “I’m not a girls toy! Why do you keep saying that?!”. Very good!
Had a chilled weekend just gone. Saturday I bought a new rear inner-tube for Ethel and also bought a cycling helmet and trouser clips while I was at it. I may look like a dweeb, but I value my head. I met up with Becky in town and we had lunch together which was fun. She’s just got a job, so lunch was her treat. Thanks! Then she came around to our place in the evening and we watched Remember Me.Fabulous movie! I didn’t expect the ending, and Robert Pattinson was brilliant in it. Becks and I swooned quite a bit 🙂
So now I am into my last week of my 20’s. I can hardly believe it! Naturally I am not too happy about it, I’d like to stay in my 20s forever. But I am looking forward to my party this Saturday organised by Pete and Becky, and of course Pete is taking me somewhere on Holiday at the end of August. Hopefully I manage to get a bit of birthday money and can expand my bird tattoo on my shoulder. It really needs a background.
