February 28th - Time to change the calendar

Last day off!
Didn't get anything done.
I'm so tired/lazy today.
:(


Today my friend told me her good news though.
Her prints are going to be sold in a tourism office. 
I'm happy for her :)


Oh, I did get one thing done today though.



Mothers Day present, sorted.


I went for a little drive in my car tonight too.


Back to work tomorrow.
Next day off is Monday at the earliest.

February 27th - a short blog post

Ah, a day off.


I went out in my car again today.
Same place as my last day off.
The beach!
But today it was warmer, and I took my camera.
You can see some of the photographs here in my new photoblog post.





That is pretty much all I did today.
Oops.
Hopefully a more productive day tomorrow!


Now off to watch tv with my boyfriend.

February 26th - the late night shift

Just got home from work.
I'm so tired!

It was all going smoothly.
I had reduction equipment with good battery life.
I had enough labels.
And then, boom!
My manager has changed his log in and not told us!


I knew one of the managers that were in though.
So I tracked her down and she helped me find someone with a log in I could borrow.



In other news.
Day off tomorrow!



Also.
My friend with the poorly cat had to have it put to sleep last night :(
I feel so devastated for him.



I always wanted to have a Quinceanera.
This episode of The Cleveland show is making me want to have one again.
But sadly, I am 6 years too old for this.
No quinceanera for me :(

February 25th - So tired. Always.

I am extremely tired!
Work went pretty quickly and smoothly though, so can't complain there.


Back to work tomorrow.
For 9 hours.
Finishing late.
Hoping to get everything done quickly!


Finally posted the Chinese New Year update on the photoblog.
You can see that here.
Although, it seems like something has gone wrong with Blogger's template.


Hardly slept again last night, so planning on getting some sleep around 9.
Thankfully I don't have to be at work til later on tomorrow.
Just hope i'm not falling asleep during my shift!

February 24th - Foursquare and KFC

Not much to say today!
Today was the 2 year anniversary of me downloading Foursquare though.




Went to work.
It was pretty busy!
Managed to get everything finished by 4 so we got to leave early again.


Drove to KFC on the way home from work.
Still can't park.
I parked way better in my old car.
I've still not quite worked this one out yet.


Going to get an early early night tonight!
Up at 5am.
Short shift though, so I can rest all afternoon.
Well, when i'm not sorting stuff out.

Then a long, late shift on Tuesday.
Which i'm a bit more bothered about somewhat.
As long as the reductions go fine, and theres actually labels I can access, then everything should be alright though!


Then I have a couple of days off to be lazy/productive.
Then its back to work for at least three days.


Thats it for today.
Short waffle post.

February 23rd - The last Saturday off

Well.
I have a weekend off for Sunnycon, but that doesn't count.

It feels like Sunday.
I'm back to work tomorrow, for the next three days.




So, today was my Grandad's birthday.
We had a little family party.
I would post the panoramic picture I took, but i'm pretty sure at least a couple of them wouldn't be too happy about it!

But as I said, we had a family party.
And that can mean only one thing.
I have to make cupcakes.
Nutella covered cupcakes.



I later added milky buttons on them.
They must have been the best cupcakes yet because I didn't bring any back home with me!



This is the cake I made* at work for the party.
I'm the oldest grandchild, and I couldn't pronounce Grandad when I was little.
So I renamed him, the three other grandchildren followed suit.


I just went to post the Chinese New Year update on the photo blog but realised I still haven't gone through the photographs and edited them (if necessary) yet.
So i'll hopefully get that sorted either on Monday afternoon, or on my two days off.


My new favourite drink is Coke Zero with Cherry.
Its an Asda exclusive.


My legs are aching.
They haven't stopped since I left work yesterday.
I'm hoping they'll be better tomorrow.
My lips are stinging too, they've gone all dry and cracked.
Arg!


Tonights plan is to watch Ant & Dec since its probably the only one i'll catch this series.
And then probably get an early night.
I got hardly any sleep last night. 
I'm full of complaints.



Tim Today



* = Cake bought in. Cake designed on a computer and then printed and stuck down on said cake by me.

February 22nd - Feeling a bit better

Feeling a bit better today.
Still sneezy, can't hear, and I keep losing my voice. 


Went to work, long shift.
Legs and feet hurt.
Got some sort of good news/feedback at work.
Its not really worth going into detail over though.

My friend also said his cat is getting worse.
:( I hope his cat is going to be ok.


Sorted my Grandad's birthday cake.
Probably a photo to come tomorrow, but its pretty plain.




Finally finished my Grandad's birthday photo present.
I'm not 100% happy with it but I'm sure he'll love it.


I have the day off for my Grandad's birthday tomorrow.
I was going to go out before the party but I don't think I will be now.
I need some time to rest.
Next day off is Wednesday.
Sunday should be an ok day, Monday is a short, but very early one and then Tuesday is a long and late shift. Dreading that one slightly, I'm not really a fan of the late night shifts, but i'm pretty thankful for the two days off following it.


Bit of a late blog post.
I'm pretty tired.
I'd be in bed by now if my feet and legs weren't hurting so much.
I don't want to move.

February 21st - Short blog post

Today in short:


I feel ill still.
I went to work.
Felt a bit better.
Then felt sick.
Now i'm home, trying to relax and get better.

I finally updated the photo blog: New post


I also got my rota at work, it needs adjusting tomorrow.

February 20th - poorly

I hit over 1000 blog views today!
Thanks everyone!


I also started the new photography blog, you can find that here.


The company I bought the luggage scales from are sending me out a replacement as the last one still hasn't arrived!


I feel even worse than I did last night.
I'm hoping i'll be better for work in the morning.
I didn't get much done.
Including my Grandad's present, which I have minimal time left to finish now because I've got long shifts on Thursday and Friday!


Can anyone tell me if the photography board is still up in Byker Metro Station?
I want to take a better picture of my work on the board, I want to put it up on one of the new websites i'm having designed!


Here is the close up of my two included photographs though.

February 19th - ill

I feel pretty ill today.


So I have so much to do tomorrow because I didn't get any of it done after work.
If it wasn't for The Cleveland Show coming on at 10pm i'd be in bed by now.


Bit of a late blog post, because I almost forgot to post again.


Hopefully tomorrow i'll:

- Ive the new blog up and running
- Have my Grandad's present sorted
- Have a new luggage scale sent out as that one I ordered still hasn't arrived


I can't really think of anything else that isn't my room that needs doing.
Although i'm sure there will be.

February 18th - A day off

Time for my day off!

The Toy Dolls announced their UK tour dates this morning.
They're finally returning to Sunderland!
On a Saturday. A Saturday.
I'll need to put a holiday in, but do I have any/many left?
Saturday is the only late shift i'm contracted! Arg!
Why?!


I have my mam's mother's day presents chosen!
And some even ordered!


I still need to go through and sort out the photographs for one of my Grandad's birthday presents though!
That was originally todays plan too!
I did have the photographs chosen but finder some how closed after 4 days and I can't find the folder they were in!




I tested out my new video camera indoors again.
The quality definitely dropped.


Then my boyfriend came over tonight and brought me the second of three vinylmations!




I found some old photos on my iMac.
So i've posted our photographs from London in 2011 (For my Foundation Degree exhibition at the AOP gallery) on Facebook.

This is one of them.


And then I found this one, from Summer 2011 at the beach.
I'm going to hate working all Spring and Summer.
I love my beach adventures.



Back at work again tomorrow!

February 17th - A day of being tired

Got hardly any sleep and then went to work.
Managed to finish by 4.
But i'm so tired!


Printed 11 invoices out for eBay.
Need to contact one of the buyers tomorrow about something I just noticed!


Day off tomorrow, but back in on Tuesday.


I forgot my brother has the week off school.


Oh.
This was the sky tonight.
My instagram was then flooded with everyone within the next 3-4 towns/cities posting a sky/sunset picture.



I almost forgot to blog again today.
Oh, and I sorted my Dad's car insurance out for him.
Hello £75.75 in cashback!


I think thats about it for tonight.
Loads to do tomorrow, so hopefully a better blog post then!



Tim Today



An old one of Tim today, because its one I've loved for quite some time.

February 16th - blargaharg

Almost forgot to blog there!


Today was the same old.
Went to work.
My feet and legs are killing and i'm so tired.
Up early tomorrow so its time to grab some sleep!


Got my updated rota too.
Its not too bad.


And my boyfriend has another of my Vinylmations but hasn't given me it yet.
I have no space for number 20 so I need to get my shelves sorted before I get it!


Oh and we just discovered that Melissa Joan Hart owns a candy/gelato/frozen yogurt store in Sherman Oaks called Sweet Harts.
Its definitely worth a bus journey to get to!
Bring on August/September!

February 15th - work

Nothing much happened today.
i went to work for 9 hours.
My rota was wrong and said I have Sunday off.
I wish I did.
But its all being rearranged and I need to check it again tomorrow to find out when i'm in on Sunday and to see if anything else has changed.

At the moment i'm only going to have 2 days off next week.
I might have even less now!


Anyway, one of my Vinylmation's have arrived 
:D



Oh, and this is the card my boyfriend got me :)




Oh and then my cat got his claw stuck in my iMac, AGAIN.
And nearly pulled it off the desk.
ARGH. 
I have to leave him unattended for 9 hours tomorrow.
Not good.

February 14th - Happy Valentines Day

Its Valentines Day!


So far today I have hit many obstacles, fixed many problems, and been outside in my pyjamas. 
Why?
To steal an egg from my Grandparent's house so I could make a cake.
Many problems arose whilst making the cake.
Probably because it was a packet mix!




Then after the washing up was done it was time to wake up my lazy cat and give him his Valentines Day present!

Treats!




Renton Ryan got back to me today.
I 'ordered' a Ghirardelli heart box for my boyfriend for Valentines day a while back, as we're going to the Ghirardelli Soda Fountain and Chocolate Shop at Disney's California Adventure.
Well anyway, they said they had to sort out their paypal a few weeks ago (their Newcastle store moved elsewhere) and they got back to me today, Valentines day, saying sorry blah blah.

So no Ghirardelli gift, obviously.
I mean, it doesn't take that long to open a Paypal account and link it with a bank account, it takes like 3-4 days max.


My boyfriend is always late ordering gifts for me, and then always orders them from America so they take even longer to get here!

But when they arrive i'll have my 20th, 21st and 22nd vinylmation of my collection!

He ordered me these three.
Two of them are re: our upcoming trip :)







My late 12 start tomorrow just became a 9am start!
So I have to get up earlier tomorrow, so need to adjust my plans for tonight a little.

February 13th - Wednesday 13

I didn't manage to get everything done today.
Nothing seems to be going to plan!


But I did manage to get most of my list done, and I found my learn Hiragana book too! 
Oh and i've somewhat chosen some furniture, but I'd still need one or two things from Ikea and you know thats a no go. It may look the way I want it to, but that cheap junk just isn't even worth bothering with. 


I sorted out the top shelf of the eBay cupboard today and decided whats being listed when over the next few days.
But while I was doing it I stood up without paying attention to where the cupboard door was and BOOF it went straight into the back of my head.
It hurts, a lot.
The worst thing is, that exact same cupboard gave me a scar on my forehead when I was about five years old.


I'm yet to actually list anything on eBay though.
:|
Well, I relisted 19 unsold items from earlier this month.
Its sort of the same thing, right?

Now I just need to leave feedback on like 30 people still.


I also finally ordered my Grandad's birthday presents today too!
Now I just need a card, gift bag and to print some stuff out.


Our Sunnycon tickets arrived.
They misspelt Centre.


Heres a picture that should have been in the Chinese New Year post.




Oh, I didn't make it out in the car today.
Had a bit of blizzard going on here!
It hasn't lay too much though, thankfully.


Also, its Wednesday the 13th.
So I've of course listened to Murderdolls today. 
Just one song mind.
For the first time in many years, i'm not sure what I liked about them anymore.

February 12th - Pancakes & Popcorn

So, my day, as usual. 


First off, we'll start with me.
I wear glasses when I work or drive.
I think my next large non-holiday based spend should really be on laser eye surgery.
But I keep chickening out.




I drove for the first time in around a year and a half today.
I still remembered how to do it!
Its kinda weird getting used to doing everything all at once again.
Gears, pedals, mirrors, speed limits.





And then I got a mean comment about my parking.
First off, let me just say that the parking can't be that bad as it didn't over hang a line, not at the side of the car, nor the back.
Second, yeah, maybe it'd be more difficult for a car to park on one side of me, but do I really want someone parking next to my brand new car?
I don't think so!
I got my old car 'door-dinged' in that exact parking bay a couple of summers ago.
And other than that, that car park has, I don't know, maybe 100 bays? Its also at the beach. It was like 3ÂșC today, it even snowed/hailed. How many people do you think are going to the beach?

Obviously not many as we were the only people in this amazing little cafe at lunch time.


But really, I can't be bothered with kids like that. 
I'm 21, have a job, a brand new car and a degree.
I don't need to be held back by people who don't progress.



In car shot. Been a while since i've had a wheel level vantage point in my photos!



So, as I pull up at home I notice this symbol here.
A heartbreaking symbol.
Windows.
As a Mac lover I tend to avoid Windows products, and I find my car pretty much is one!
But this Blue&Me system is amazing.
I'm pretty sure it'd be even more so if it ran on Apple technology though!


So, then it was back home to make* pancakes.
(*May not have actually made pancakes, may have just kept her mother company while she made pancakes)



I prefer savoury to sweet.



Then I had to get ready again.
(Ok, so i'd put my pyjamas back on after I'd been for a drive!)
But I got ready too early and found myself staring at the clock, and the worst part is, its a digital clock with no seconds counter, I don't think theres anything else more boring to watch!



Me in 3D glasses. Yurr.
Bought a new pair since they've changed the design and potentially the technology they're using for their screenings.


The best cinema popcorn can be found at Empire cinemas.
The best popcorn in the world can be found at Disneyland Paris.



My boyfriend took this one. :3

So, we went to see Wreck-it Ralph in 3D.
We bumped into a couple my boyfriends old work colleagues on the way (they were going to the same showing!) and then we even bumped into Michael in the cinema - same showing too!
We're always bumping into someone on a Tuesday night showing!

I recommend that you go see this movie.


So anyway, now i'm home.
I've watched The Cleveland show, as usual.
My cat is sleeping and of course, snoring behind my iMac.
And i've just checked my messages on deviantART, I don't check it enough nowadays.
But i'm still getting incredible, and incredible amounts of feedback on my old food and still life work.
I need to get behind a camera again.


Tomorrows plan includes tidying/sorting my room.
Sorting out the Chinese New Year photographs.
Driving again. But where?


Well.
I think thats all for today.
It's a bit of a long, picture heavy blog post!



Tim Today



Tim today is my second 365 project of the year.
The first one being the blog.
365's are easy, I don't know how anyone can fail them, I understand about missing a day/week(s) due to being on holiday or something but not just crashing out half way through.

February 11th - Tired

So.
I'm tired.
And I felt ill all day.


Going to head to bed early.
Then tomorrow i'm sorting my room sort of, and heading out in my car! 
Oh and then i'll be eating pancakes and then i'm going to the cinema with my boyfriend.
:)


My teeth have moved far too much from when I stopped wearing my retainer on occasion.
I think i'm going to go down to just missing it once or twice a week at most.
:(


I don't really have much to blog about today.


I hope the last of my parcels come tomorrow.
I need to order my Grandad's birthday presents still too!
Its getting way too late!


Also, I found out the ice cream parlour I go to in summer has closed down.
It was pretty much a rip off of a parlour in Seaham but, it was closer to where I live and its where I celebrated both of my graduations and getting my job, and my boyfriend getting his job at FOG, although he has moved on since then.
