Great. No date for the new year ball. What a great way to see in the New Year. Everyone is going to be coupled up. And I will be a billy no mates in the corner with my camera. Finding it hard to focus on positive things at the moment. Feel like I've been used and lied to again. Although I guess it's my own fault for falling for all the bullshit again. I know that I need to move on but it's easier said than done. Here's hoping that the New Year will bring me a handsom man to sweep me off my feet.
Bye for now.

You got me wrapped around your finger...
I write to you from my bed. Feeling poorly and a little bit sorry for myself. Sick of making a fool of myself. January will be a fresh start. As if it never happened. I laid all my feelings on the line and they got thrown back at me. So I guess thats is that. "There's gotta be somebody for me out there".
Heres a song for you.
Bye for now.

The Cranberries - Linger
If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn, don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
I swore, I swore I would be true
And, honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand
Is that the way we stand
Were you lying all the time
Was it just a game to you
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong, but I was wrong
If you, if you could get by
Trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just want to be with you
Heres a song for you.
Bye for now.

Hoarding.
Afternoon folks.
So two days of rain and the snow has all gone. I'm both happy and sad. I love being able to drive all the way up the lane to the stables and not having to walk from the bottom. But I do miss everything being white. Now everything looks soggy and dirty. But it's got me thinking, what is it about snow that we love so much? That makes us behave like kids? I'm the first to admit that I had a good old moan about the snow as it buggered up travel plans and Christmas presents, but I was secretly over the moon about the fact that on Christmas day there was snow outside my window. I love the white glow that sneaks in through your curtains first thing in the morning. I love how still everything goes before the snow starts to fall again. But still I don't understand what gets us so excited. Sorry for the soppiness but there is something magical about being outside when it's snowing. If you've got any ideas as to why we love snow so much, please enlighten me.
I also realised, whilst running a bath last night that I am a hoarder. I keep things. I keep clothes that don't fit because of "sentimental value". I keep birthday cards and gift bags. But mostly I keep smellies. Bubble bath, perfume body lotion. And it's not that I intend to hoard it, it's not even that I don't want to use it because these are my favourite kinds of presents. It's just that I always think "I'll keep that for a special occasion". But a year later, I've hardly made a dent in my smellies! I've decided I need to use them! Live for the moment! I know that if tomorrow I get hit by a bus, my last thought is hardly going to be "Damn I wish I'd of used up all my Very Irresistible Givenchy shower gel", but you get the idea. I save them for "special occasions" but what counts as a special occasion. And then usually, I'm in a rush to get out and forget to use it. There was a time when I'd bathe in Calvin Klein bubble bath, wash with the corresponding CK shower gel, cover myself with the same body lotion and then spritz with that same perfume. Now I can barely remember to put perfume on!
Perfume is probably the thing I save the most. So long that it goes off! And when I find a bottle of Gucci Rush buried amongst my other neglected perfumes gathering dust on my shelf I think, "God I love that perfume", and cover myself in it, only to discover that yes, perfume does go off and now I'm going to smell like cat wee all day! The irony is that my handbag weighs a ton thanks to the four (I kid you not) bottles of perfume rolling round in it, all of which go unworn!
OK, so new years resolution number one, make the most of my smellies. Wear them everyday! Use them all up! Because I'm lucky enough to have well spaced birthday to Christmas ratio, so technically my supplies will be replenished every six months. As it has been this Christmas. I have to say, my favourite gift set this year has been my Twilight Eclipse, shower gel, shimmer body lotion, and shimmer body spray. It smells a lot like the Diesel for women, that came in a red bottle and smelled very coconutty. I used to wear it all the time, loved it. But the shimmer body lotion makes your skin look like a vampire in the sun! Amazing!
That's all folks.

For my friend...
My best friend is now going through what I went through a few short months ago. I've never said to anyone in a dilemma "I know how you feel", but in this case I really do and it's hard to see someone going through it and knowing how hard it is. She's being so brave.
Nearly 3 months on I still miss him so much. I see him from time to time but it's not the same. New years is 5 days away but I'm not making any resoloutions. Of course I'll be looking forward to a new year, hoping for better things. Guess I'll have to wait and see.
Work has been crazy since the start of the sale as you can imagine. Only two weeks left until my contract is up and I have to say I will be a little sad to leave. I've made some lovely friends there.
My plan for the new year is to throw myself into uni. Focus on the things I can have, like a good degree, rather than the thing I can't have.
Anyway, hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and that you all have a good new year.

Snow is fallin'...all around us!
Hello there everyone, 6 short sleeps till Christmas and I have never been less prepared in all my life.
Well that's a lie, I was doing just fine until the Royal Mail kidnapped Santa and all his post and presents! So now, most members of my family have nothing to open on Christmas day. Fantastic. We also have around a half a wall less of Christmas cards this year so unless we have pissed a lot of people off, they are also somewhere in Cyber space, or whatever the Royal Mail equivalent is. What I don't understand is, presents that were supposed to arrive on the 7th of December (before the snow), have still not arrived. And also, why is it that bills and shampoo samples can make it through in the post but none of the good stuff.
I understand that the snow is making life difficult. I have already lost two shifts at work and I'm waiting to see what the rest of the week brings. I have read several contrasting weather forecasts so who knows. I suppose I will just have to wait and see. As it stands, the snow is above the bottom of my car and I can't even get off the drive let alone all the way to Chester. If anyone has ventured that way and can volunteer information on the state of the roads it would be very much appreciated. Bear in mind the fact that the bottom of my car is only a few inches off the ground.
I was welcomed home on Friday by a 6 foot tall snow woman with double d breasts in our front garden. Proudly built by Mum, Alan and Ian. Overnight the weight of her boobs bought her crashing to the ground. Ian and Mum have since rebuilt her but now she is about 4 foot tall, 6 foot wide and without any breasts. She is however holding a candle which is rather sweet.
Today we have got into the Christmas spirit with National Lampoons Christmas Special, A Christmas Carol (the Patrick Stuart version of course), and a practice roast dinner.
So, I think that's about it for now, I really hope that we all get some post tomorrow although it's unlikely! If I forget to blog before Christmas then Happy Christmas to you all!

Covers
I'm having a bit of an X Factor fuelled rant that is too long for my Facebook status. In todays blog:
Cheryl Cole
Covers
Christmas number one.
and X Factor fix.
I'll start with my title, covers. People are criticising the fact that Matt is covering a Biffy Clyro song. So flipping what. "You've got the love" was insanely popular but if I'm honest, I actually prefer the original. Ellie Goulding "Your song", yes it's very good and I like it but still, a cover. And let's not even talk about what Black Eyed Peas have done to "Time of my life". Shocking. Almost as bad as what Shane Ward has done to Nickleback's "Gotta be somebody". There seems to be a bit of a "cover craze" going on at the moment. And it's easy enough to say that they can be epic, or a total disaster. Give Matt a break, it is a TV show created for entertainment, he will do what he is told. I do however, agree with the people who are saying that Rebecca is actually better off than Matt as she will probably release an album before him.
Anyway, I'm glad Matt won because it means that Cheryl didn't get her hatrick. I don't see how she can be a judge on the X Factor, and sit there and tell people that they can't sing, when she is a shocking singer. I've got nothing against her personally, I think she has been very dignified in all that she has been through, but she cannot sing and shouldn't be telling other people whether they can or not.
Also, I really do not agree with these "make 'blah blah blah' Christmas number one" campaigns. Don't get sucked in. Buy the single you like, not the one you think is going to sabotage someone elses chances. Will you be listening "Bird is the word" on Christmas morning? If it came on Shuffle on your Ipod would you skip the song? Christmas number one is supposed to be about a special festive song that you enjoy listening to. Not some crazy campaign. I've got nothing against Rage Against the Machine, because that song is good, but if that bloody Family Guy song makes Christmas number one it will make a total joke of it. One minute everyone loves the X Factor and the next people are campaigning against it. I understand that the public are trying to take a stand, gain some control, but it's really pathetic. You'd be better off not buying any song.
Finally, if your favourite act doesn't win, it is most likely not a fix. Well, actually, if you voted, and your act still didn't win, say what you like...or...assume that no matter how many times you voted, more people voted more times for the other act. I think that there have been strange goings on at the X Factor this year (for example it was claimed last week that it would be down to public vote alone and then the judges voted), but I don't believe the winner was fixed. They both deserved to win and for all we know there could have been one vote between them, but with a bit of luck we will hear from both of them again.
Anyway, rant over. Apologies to anyone I may have offended.

Countdown to Christmas!
Someone special just reminded me to blog so here it it.
Hope you are all well, and are getting in the Christmas spirit. My Christmas shopping is non-existent and I've not a penny in the bank but nevertheless I'm feeling very Christmassy. I've been on the big wheel and seen Chester looking beautiful. I've enjoyed the snow, and shared a Mulled Wine and an Eggnog Latte with Lauren.
Got a serious work load at Uni but I'm ploughing through it! No deadlines yet but I can feel them looming!
Loving work at River Island, the people there are so much fun and I love being surrounded by all the beautiful clothes, even if I do have to wear a shitty t-shirt to work.
Am still desperately seeking a dress for the Purple New Year Ball. I am reluctant to buy one from Debenhams as the whole world and his dog is likely to turn up in the same one. I went into the shop I got it from last year (http://www.aristocratsofchesterltd.co.uk/) but no luck on the amazing deal I got last year. I have one on order and I'm praying it will be nice but I read after it was ordered that it is made from jersey, so am going to need some full on Brigit Joneses to suck my tummy in after Christmas.
Back to Christmas, to any of you struggling with a few last minute stocking fillers, take a look at this months Avon catalogue. Campaign 1 (click here). I'm ordering before 10pm Wednesday. Please please PLEASE take a look, there's some lovely gift ideas in there and also some treats for yourself.
