Alex has never had the need to buy any tuxedo shirts or anything formal like that. He doesn’t even own a suit. I don’t think he’s one for wearing that type of thing or even going somewhere he would have to dress like that. He’s more of a jeans and t-shirt kind of lad and that works for both of us because I’d much rather be in a comfy pair of jeans than all dressed up. It is nice to get dressed up every now and again though. Tonight I’m going out with two girl friends and I’m wearing my LBD and heels. It should be fun night and even more fun when my best friend see’s my new hair cut! Go over to my other blog to see what I’m talking about.

I got a letter in the post last week containing information on a term life insurance policy that they were trying to sell me. It was a women’s only insurance policy that had special coverage for breast cancer and other illnesses that mainly effect women. To be honest, I just looked at it once and put it down again. I have trouble paying my rent on time so there’s no way I can afford any type of life insurance. Maybe when I have a full time job I’ll think about it but right now, I have more important things on my mind.

Nothing beats sale shopping apart from the fact that if you don’t get there quick enough, what you want is gone. I found the cutest dress ever on the Topshop website on the day the sale started but by the time I’d got there, they had all sold out. I was so upset about it because it was just the dress I had been looking for – I really want a bright blue dress. I thought I would have found something similar at ASOS.com but I had no luck. I’m having a night out with the girls on Thursday night for my birthday (my birthday is Friday) and I wanted something new and fairly cheap to wear. I’m having my hair cut in town on Thursday afternoon so I’ll have a look around before I head back home. It all really depends on how much money I get for my birthday whether I can buy something new anyway! I wish we had a Primark, I’d be sorted then.

I’m struggling with my weight at the moment. I guess I’m looking for a quick fix that will take me right down to a UK size 8 in a matter of days and its just to going to happen. I can’t afford to go to the gym at the moment but I’m going back at the beginning of May whether I can afford to or not because I really, really miss it. There is a big field just three minutes walk from me that I really want to start jogging around on a daily basis. My only problem is finding someone to watch Meghan for me while I go out for thirty minutes a day. I can’t use it at the weekend as they have a local football club playing on there at that time but the weekdays should be fine. Ever since I thought about it this week, I’ve really wanted to go. Alex is off Monday through to Wednesday so I might get him to come round to mine in the mornings so I can give it a go.

I can’t seem to control my eating. Most days I do fanastically all day and then as soon as Meghan goes to bed, I get huge massive cravings for anything and everything and then when I eat it, I feel awful about it. I haven’t been doing any knitting at all recently so I might try and replace the food with knitting and drinking lots and lots of tea. I was watching a dieting program the other day and they were trying to find a diet pill that works but every single pill that the professor tried out wasn’t anything like a miracle. On all the pills, you had to have a calorie controlled diet and have exercise which is what you do on a normal diet. Eating like a pig and taking a diet pill isn’t going to solve anyone’s problems.

I think its hard for me to actually concentrate on losing weight when I have everything else going on but I’m unhappy with the way I look and I’m unhappy with that fact that nothing fits and I constantly have to wear a jacket to cover myself up. I don’t have enough money to buy new clothes so I’m going to have to lose the weight so I feel comfortable. I’ll sort myself out eventually.

There are three birthdays next week; Alex’s grandma’s on Wednesday, my friend Suzi’s on Thursday and mine on Friday. Alex’s grandma has asked for a new dinner set from all the family because she’s running out of them rapidly. I don’t think it helps that Alex’s mum has about five of them and have three! Suzi has asked me to knit her a pair of bed socks because she doesn’t see the point in buying any when she has a friend who can knit, which I think is a great excuse. The yarn I’ve bought is pretty cheap though so I think I’m going to try and get her a little something else too. Especially since the socks won’t be ready until after her birthday as I haven’t even recieved the yarn yet. I was thinking of getting her some jewellery and a nice little heart pendant necklace would probably go down well. I’ll have to head into town next week to see what I can find.

I’ve just asked for money or Borders/Amazon vouchers for my birthday. Amy is giving me some money to get my hair cut, I’m hoping my nana and grandad give me the money to get some new glasses and any other money will go to pay off rent and bills. I’d rather spend it on that and then I can chill out a bit and not get too stressed out about things. I’m a little behind on next months rent so as long as everyone listens and gives me money then I should be fine.

I’ve had no internet for the last four weeks or so now and I’m finding it difficult getting back on track. I have a stack load of paid blogging to do which in a way is good but I’m going to overload this blog with it for the next couple of days. I have one about the NO2 Black and even though I’ve done some reading, I still don’t really know what its for. I think its a muscle gain supplement but please correct me if I’m wrong!

I had a great time in Spain even though one of the kids got ill and the other one didn’t sleep because of the heat. The weather was beautiful; we only had one bad day when it was extremely foggy and only cleared up in the evening and the actual hotel was great. I’d definitely go back there tomorrow if I could but I think I would wait until Meghan was a little older just because it would make things a lot easier. Its going to be a while before we go anyway because the price has almost doubled from what we paid for it. I got engaged in Spain too! It would be nice if he could just come home but lets hope its not too long now.

Well I’ve been online now for about three hours not actually doing anything and now I want to get off to bed so I can carry on reading A Clockwork Orange. Its a library book and I have seven others waiting to be read so I want this one finished by Monday if I can. Goodnight!
