February 28th - Last Day of The Month

Another day at work.

February 27th - Day Off!

I had to get up at 7ish to go home this morning.

I then went back to bed til 9:40 :|!

I cycled 1000.

Then was lazy for a while.

Sorted out my room.

Then set up my lights and took some photos.

I've not gone through them yet so there isn't a sneak preview.

After that I got some food and then listed a load of stuff on eBay.

Thats about it for my night really.

Oh I got a message not too long ago saying i'm off on Sunday so i'm not getting my early finish on Saturday.

I'm really not sure whats going on.

I'll have to check it out tomorrow.

But really.

The one Sunday I wouldn't want off.

We've got the van coming at 1.

February 26th - Day Off!

It was quite a busy day.

Cycled 1000.

Moved a load of furniture to mine and Andrew's house.

Tidied the house a lot.

Then met him in Newcastle when he finished work.

We got some food and I bought a new sketch book for my shoot ideas.

We went to Sainsburys when we got home and bought the new Thor dvd.

I forgot to get Toy Story of Terror though. D:

Thats about it really!

New photoblog post went live too.

February 25th - Urg

I was at work all day/night.

New blog post

February 24th - Work!

Mondays at work tend to drag.

This one wasn't so bad until after my break.

Thats all i've done today really.

I joined a couple more stock sites last night and found out this morning i'd been approved by both.

I also made another sale on one of the sites I use today!

Beating my average by two!

Anyway tonight I uploaded 70 images to one of the new sites.

Although I only annotated 34 of them.

I'll do the rest later this week.

February 23rd - Sunday Off!

Finally!

A Sunday off!

Pretty boring day really.

Metros were off so it took an hour and a half to get to Newcastle.

And the same to get back.

Urg.

Network Rail.

I joined two more stock sites when I got home.

And made another sale on one of the sites - beating my average monthly sales amount!

February 22nd - TIRED

TIRED.

I was at work all day.

Think I missed a few reductions because I came across a few later on.

Hopefully I didn't miss any others.

Its been a difficult one.

Well. An easy one.

A boring one really.

Same old issues at usual.

With an extra one thrown in.

Thats all.

I'm so tired.

I don't even know what to do tomorrow.

Newcastle?

Metrocentre?

Bowling?

Planetarium?

Beamish?

?!

We got a rough quote for our Wedding today.

Its more than their website quoted us for this year!

But the dates aren't released until October so they said it was a heavily overshot quote going off what they charged someone doing something similar a few weeks ago.

Actually, its double what they charged them.

But we're going one less place.

But have two guests for the first week.

Oh.

Life.

Theres still so many things on our list of 50 things for this year too.

And we're nearly into a 1/4 of the year.

I've got loads to do tomorrow.

Even before/after the plans I make.

Once all thats out the way we should be able to cross off more stuff!

Also.

I feel really sick and was spitting blood for about 20minutes this morning.

I hope i'm not dying.

February 21st - It's Friday! Friday! Friday?

Its Friday so I was at work all day.

Thats really all i've done today.

I wish I could say i'm spending my time and life more wisely.

I got my shifts this week.

I'm back in on Monday!

I'm pretty thankful for the extra shift.

But at the same time it means I can't stay at my fiancé's house on Sunday night like I usually do unless I get up at 7am.

And I don't want to get up at 7am really.

He starts his new job on Monday so I don't think i'd be staying over this Sunday anyway.

I did go and set up my LinkedIN last night.

It's still not finished though.

I still don't know what to do on Sunday or Wednesday.

February 20th - Day Off!

I forgot to mention yesterday that I got featured on a German photography website.

Anyway today I had the day off.

I didn't sleep much last night so I didn't do a whole lot today.

I cycled 1000cals off in the morning.

Sorted my room out a bit.

Listed some stuff on eBay.

But I spent a chunk of my day working on a new project.

I finally took the step and joined Red Bubble.

I still have a lot to put on there, but here is my link.

I still need to make my LinkedIN at some point.

I've only been saying that for a few years.

New photoblog post went live yesterday, you can see that here.

And our new shared blog post is here.

There was way more I wanted to write here.

But I can't remember any of it.

February 19th - Lego Movie

I had the day off and didn't really do much.

I cycled 1000cal on an exercise bike.

Wrote two photoblogs - i'm covered until I get back from London now.

And annotated the last of my images pending on a site.

After that I met my fiancé when he finished work and we went to see the Lego Movie.

It was, like everything else, awesome.

If you haven't seen it yet, go see it and then reread that last sentence. 

February 18th - Work!

I actually had a great sleep last night.

I woke up feeling so awake, free and relaxed.

And then I went to work after annotating a few stock images.

Thats about it for today!

Long shift at work!

February 17th - Ill

Really haven't felt well today.

Nothing done.

Fell asleep.

Manager phoned and offered me a 7/8am start after my 9pm finish.

I said no, i've got plans on Wednesday anyway.

So tired.

Bedtime.

Hyyygng.

February 16th - urg

I'm writing this a day late.

Feeling not so well.

I was at work all day on Sunday.

It was a bad day.

We didn't even make our 4pm finish.

After work my fiancé and I headed to the beach.

We got some food from Queens and then hit the arcade while we waited for the sky to blacken.

After that I took quite a few long exposures on the walk home.

We then ended up playing Mini Clip's 8 ball pool against each other until 1am.

I don't think much else happened.

February 15th - WORK!

I started work at 10.

For the first time ever I think.

I finished just after 6.

Pretty long day really.

My throat is now stinging again.

I came home to find another sale on shutterstock, just one away from my monthly ave.

I don't usually post about my sales anymore, but I hope I get that next one considering this month is so short.

The wind here is starting to get bad so I don't know how i'm going to get my next few shoot ideas done.

I need some new ideas.

I spent the time i'd planned on annotating my Alamy writing blog posts instead.

Heres the one I posted today.

Theres two more scheduled so far!

February 14th - Valentines Day

♥♥♥

Although we already celebrated Valentines Day on Wednesday as we both had work today we decided to meet up and get some food tonight.

I picked up my fiancé after work and we headed back to my house before we picked up a KFC.

When I walked in I saw this

I really didn't expect to have another present!

There are eight roses, one for every year we've been together.

♥

♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥

--

Work was a long one.

And i'm going in two hours early tomorrow.

I've not long been home after dropping off my fiancé.

An extra photoblog post has been published, go check that out here.

So now i'm watching Eastenders on iPlayer, and trying to plan out London in a bit more detail.

Just a few weeks left to go!

Then theres Florida to plan and pay for.

Our Hawaiian wedding to book.

Californian Honeymoon.

And trip to Japan the year after.

Busy times.

We've also just been recommended the Lego movie by my total best buddy so we need to fit that in somewhere too!

February 13th - Change of Plans

So I should have had today off.

I had loads of plans.

But nope.

Second day in a row the late staff have called in sick and I agreed to cover it tonight.

Tired.

February 12th - 'Valentines Day'

As my fiancé and I both work we tend to change the date of Valentines Day to suit us.

So this year I gave him these.

He gave me these.

And we made this cake!

And then we ate this.

February 11th - Urg

Today went ok in general.

But now I feel ill.

urg

:(

Snow though!

February 10th - Work! Work! Work!

I got up this morning and went straight on to do a bit of stock work.

I really didn't want to go to actual work today.

I was getting so much done!

But I had to..

Came home from work.

Sorted out my car insurance and then went back to stock work!

I also made some plans for Wednesday.

And discussed one of our current projects with my fiancé.

Now i'll have an early night for work tomorrow!

February 9th - Chinese New Year

I got a Sunday off!

We went to Chinese New Year.

You can see that photoblog post here.

I didn't do much else today really.

Theres another photoblog or two coming about today, and a post over on our shared blog.

More to come on those later.

My fiancé got me this as an early Valentines present.

:)

February 8th - Work!

I got an early finish!

yes!

:D

i'm so tired.

Day off tomorrow and Chinese New Year!

:D

February 7th - Work!

9 Starts on a Friday are a killer.

Such a drag.

Shift went alright though.

Back in tomorrow then off on Sunday!

I hope I get some better photos this time >.<

Event photography is definitely not for me.

I sorted some of my stuff our after work.

Not as much as i'd planned too but ahh i'm so tired!

I need to sort out the London plans asap.

Then get back to planning out everything else.

Oh and i've still got a post to write over on the other blog and a whole load of photos to take.

Great.

^_^;

I really need to figure out how to use my new camera properly too.

I found out how to select where I want it to focus now.

But it just doesn't even focus there so i'm not too sure where i'm going wrong.

I should read the manual really.

I've kept my Monday shift for next week now, so i'll have the Chinese New Year post up on Sunday for sure.

Well, as long as I get some actual photos!

Yikes!

That reminds me - I really needed to charge everything tonight.

I guess i'll just have to set them all away tomorrow when I go to work and have someone shut them off at some point.

I really don't get it.

I feel so motivated when I start to get ready to go to sleep, and i'll make plans for the next day, but by then i'm not feeling it anymore, and then as soon as its bed time again.. WHAM.. motivation.

Urg.

February 6th - Day Off!

Today I did a few shoots with the props I bought yesterday.

Heres a sneak preview via instagram photo.

Thats all I did today actually.

February 5th - S'mores!

I had the day off work.

I didn't do a whole lot during the day.

I then met my fiancé when he finished work.

I had planned on doing a few more low light shoots but it was raining so we went home and made s'mores (it was on our list!)

Blog post about that later.

February 4th - Flappy Bird

Its now officially my 'weekend'!

YES!

I was at work from 12-9 so i've not done anything except that today.

I made a whole load of plans when I was waiting to start work.

I've really hurt my leg.

And thats about it really.

Oh wait!

I beat my score on Flappy Bird.

My new high score is 39.

February 3rd - WORK!

Yeah the blogging didn't go to plan.

I was at work all afternoon.

Came home, ate and watched some tv.

Some seriously deep thoughts going on right now.

February 2nd - Work!

I was at work all day.

Then I met my fiancé when I finished and we headed to the beach.

We got some food from our favourite beach eatery and then headed to the arcade as it was still too light to take photos.

I took some low light photos and they'll be going up in a new photoblog post around the 12th Feb.

Today another of my new blog posts went live.

New blog post!

No photos in this post.

It was supposed to be better than this but I left it late to write it.

Just like yesterday!

Hopefully tomorrow!

I'm at work tomorrow and Tuesday though.

So those posts will probably be like this too.
