February 28th - Finally.

Its finally the end of the month!

Im tired and aching from today.

Long shift tomorrow, going in early.

My feet are killing and my shoes are all thin and cracked open on the bottom but my new shoes still hurt my feet too much for a long shift D:

This was waiting for me when I got home though!

February 27th - Bonus Day!

It was bonus day!

And I just love losing almost £80 worth of it on pension/tax/NI!

But still, that another £160 paid off Tokyo ^_^

Long shift, my ankle isn't too bad today but i'm pretty tired.

Early a night as possible then do it all again tomorrow.





Also.





RIP Leonard Nimoy

February 26th - Day Off

Fiancé had to stay back at work for the third night in a row.

He doesn't even know if they're going to pay him for the extra 10 hours he's done this week up til now.

February 25th - Work!

I went foamless to see how bad my ankle is now.

It was still sore so I think i'll put the foam back for the long shifts i'm doing at the end of the week.

February 24th - Work!

Long shift!

February 23rd - Day Off

My fiancé was busy in the evening, so I had to cancel my plans.

February 22nd - Behind

I'm really behind posting these and not feeling well so just short updates to get this back up to date.

I worked all day, and it was raining when I finished so I had to cancel my plans.

February 21st - Weekend!

Work!

Same thing tomorrow ~

February 20th - ~

Its been quite a day.

Spent the afternoon at work.

Got my shifts for the next two weeks, i'm doing quite a bit of over time next week, then a little bit the week after.

I found out Invader Zim is coming back in comic form in July!

And I started making some serious plans for the next few months.

I am going to spend so much money in Japan.

:|

February 19th - Day Off

Day off.

I spent my day resting my ankle.

I spent most of the afternoon tidying my room, and writing blog posts.

I've also started playing on Neopets again, i've had that account for 12 years (although I left for a few years and used another account) and I still can't get that avatar you need 11million NP for!.

I realised I have a lot of retired books in my SDB from the packrat avatar that are worth like 40k NP each now so that should help.

But the games pay out a lot less than they used to now.

I didn't get much sleep last night so i'm aiming for an early ish night tonight.

I can't believe that sponsored post about the Lucy's killer theory was right.

If I wrote Eastenders i'd have wrote an alternative ending and changed it because that theory was clearly a link, it was completely right, every aspect.

Back to work tomorrow.

Short ish shift so hopefully my ankle will be fine, then a long one on Saturday, then i'm not sure what i'm working on Sunday yet.

February 18th - ..

Another long day at work.

My ankle is worse again.

:(

February 17th - !

Horrible day.

Looks like i'll be going into work early tomorrow though.

Going to sleep forever on Wednesday night.

February 16th - Day Off

Another day of resting my ankle, which seems to have got worse.

I spent the afternoon tidying my room a bit and then scheduling some blog posts and editing photos.

February 15th - Our Valentines Day

We had Valentines day on the Sunday as I had a day off work.

This is what he got me :)

We headed into town to get some of the new Tsum Tsum at Clintons - I only wanted one to put on the top of my pyramid, but bought two and now they won't sit right.

We went to the cinema to see Big Hero 6 again as my ankle was hurting.

I ordered two new Funko POP! figures on the night as I couldn't find either of them in any shops.

February 14th - Work!

Back to work.

Long shift.

I spent the day limping and hobbling everywhere.

February 13th - Rest Day

Rest day hoping my ankle would be better for work on Saturday.

It wasn't.

February 12th - Last Day

My ankle was so much worse and I could barely walk.

We went for 7am breakfast and then waited until around 10 before heading to the parks, we didn't get on many rides and ended up sitting by the castle for a while.

We left the parks around 3 to get some food before going for the VEA.

Around 2min before our boarding time for our flight we were told that the flight was delayed!

We didn't get home until around 1:30am.

February 11th - Ratatouille!

7am breakfast again then out for Extra Magic Hours!

We got the top score on Buzz Lightyear's Laser Blast.

We spent EMH in Disneyland Park and then headed over to Walt Disney Studios at 9:30 for opening.

We headed straight to the Ratatouille ride, the queue was only 25min so we decided to wait rather than get Fast Passes.

After that we went around a few shops and I got a hot chocolate while my fiancé went on Rockin' Roller Coaster.

When he got back we went into a couple more shops on the way to get food, and I did some animation drawing, the same bouncing Mickey head as I always draw!

After food we headed back to the hotel as my fiancé really wasn't feeling well.

After a while we headed back out, got some food in the Village and then went on a few rides in Disneyland Park before waiting for Dreams.

Going through bag check I was pushed by a very rude woman who I believe is from the Essex/Colchester area, she had been staring at me at the bus stop at the Cheyenne too. I'm really not sure what her problem was.

After Dreams I had a very bad pain in my ankle which may or may not have been brought on by that vile woman who pushed me, and to this day (Feb 16th) it's still hurting, and i'm limping.

February 10th - Paris

We got up at 6am for our 7am breakfast before coming back to the room for an hour, we had planned on going out for an hour of extra magic hours but we still weren't sure when to get the train as we wanted to avoid rush hour.  We ended up heading to the station for 9am, the train arrived just after we got there.

We started at the Arc De Triomphe, before heading for an early lunch. My fiancé was caught by a charity/scam worker who targets English speakers, while he was dealing with her I had two more come up to me.

First one.

"Do you speak English? Sign this"

No.

"Just sign it"

No.

"Sign it, its ok"

No.

*brushes passed me and storms off*

Second one

"Do you speak English?"

*shakes head and walks away*

We had tickets to go up the Eiffel Tower at 1pm, the queue took about 20min to get to the lift, and somewhere between the two lifts my ticket went missing, but they let me on the summit lift anyway as our prebooked tickets had a 'ticket /2' stamp on it so they know we did buy two tickets.

After looking around the Eiffel tower for a while we headed to Notre Dame as last time we visited Paris we only saw it from the river cruise.

After that we headed to Lovelock bridge, I had ordered a lock from Not on the High Street especially for this.

I know its not the best thing to do, its damaging the bridge, but my lock was incredibly light and I don't mind if they remove it, it was just something i've always wanted to do before they move them all and replace the bridge with glass panels. 

After that we headed back to Marne-la-vallée, but we got back too late to go into the parks so we dropped off our stuff at the hotel and headed into Disney Village for some shopping and food.


I fell in love with the 'After the Prom' figure in the Gallery shop but I didn't have enough space in my case for it. It's currently sold out on the US Disney Store website but i'll keep watching the page.

February 9th - It's Disney Time!

Up at 2:30am.

urrgh!

Then the taxi arrived an hour early >.<

He did come back in an hour though.

Uneventful trip to the airport, quickly dropped off our luggage and then went through security - where there was a queue of about three people ahead of us!

Once we got through we wandered in a couple of shops while we waited for Burgerking to open, my fiancé was poorly so needed to stock up on a few things from Boots.

The flight went quick and we arrived earlier than scheduled, but there was a huge queue at passport control, i've never seen it so long in Charles De Gaulle.

The VEA has moved again since the last time we visited so it took a while to find it, but once we got there there was a bus waiting, and an hour later we arrived at the Cheyenne.

Our room wasn't ready so we dropped off our bags and headed to the park, we went on a couple of rides and picked up some fast passes that we never used before heading to Hakuna Matata, it was the only time we saw it open this trip.

Back to the hotel at 3 to sort out our room, I also took a video of the room for YouTube.

After sorting out our bags it was back to the park, we didn't stay for Dreams and headed to the village for food before getting an early night as our breakfast slot was 7am.

We got a weird phonecall at 11:30 which woke us up, the calls got worse the next day and my fiancé went to complain.

Also, the hotel didn't have the UK Disney Channel, instead it aired Sky news.

February 8th - 1 Sleep!

Quick shift at work this morning.

Then busy afternoon and evening.

I'm so tired.

Its now 20:49 and i'm heading to bed ready to get up at 2:30!

I can't believe my taxi is going to cost £52!

I'm sure it was half that in September.

February 7th - Work!

oo long day.

Couldn't get the holiday I wanted for Chinese New Year, pretty gutted.

I have next Sunday off and March 8th instead.

2 sleeps til Paris!

I'm going to get an early night as possible now ready for my 9 start tomorrow.

My fiancé is staying up to check in online for our flight.

I still have so much to do, and just heard on the disboards that its absolutely freezing in Paris right now!

February 6th - Work!

I didn't do much today other than go to work, I ended up finishing at 6 instead of 9.

My Dad got us McDonalds for tea, he has a new car now, it still doesn't have cup holders.

I'm working on Sunday again now, but just 9-12, then I have the whole afternoon to pack before getting an early night ready for getting up at like 3am if not earlier D':

Our online check in opens at like 12:25am on Sunday, so its like a no sleep situation.

I was shown this on twitter earlier, you all need to go and support it.

Its an Invader Zim Lego set!

Long shift tomorrow, i'm feeling a little bit better than yesterday, I really hope i'm better for Monday!

My print finally arrived, with £27 in charges!

It only cost £46 before postage!

February 5th - Urrg

Oh, I do not feel well.

I've had a pretty lazy day with having Sunday off now.

I've sorted my EHIC card because I hadn't realised it expired a few months ago!

I packed the hand luggage.

Charged everything except a compact camera.

Got my hair cut.

And now i'm going to have an early night.

My parcel was supposed to come today so I waited in for it and then at 18:17 they suddenly updated it with "delayed one business day".

-.-

February 4th - Work!

I ended up going in for a quick shift.

I asked for an early finish on Sunday to pack my case and got given the day off instead ^_^

I'm working extra on Friday now too.

I started feeling poorly after work.

February 3rd - Big Hero 6

I had a productive morning and early afternoon sorting out some of my holiday packing.

In the afternoon my fiancé I went to town for a quick half an hour before getting food and heading for our 6:30 showing of Big Hero 6.

When I got home I found out i'm at work tomorrow!

February 2nd - Productivity

This morning I got right back to being productive.

I annotated a few of the stock images i've left laying in the approval folder for a few months, I didn't quite finish it but i'm off work for three more days.

I updated my cat blog, and i've scheduled my adventure blog up until Monday.

And then I started looking at savings accounts and ISAs, i'm going to decide which one i'm going for tomorrow morning.

After i'd done all that it was time to get ready and head to Newcastle to meet my fiancé.

I picked up three of my new Funko's.

My fiancé got some euros, and then we went to get some food.

We picked up the new rough guides Paris book, it was just released today, and then my fiancé got me a travel book as a present, I can't wait to fill it in.

We had a nice evening tonight, we've both been pretty busy with personal projects recently.

February 1st - New Month

January got off to a very good and productive start but by the end of it, it had started to slow down.

Going to get back on it this month!

Although today, I had the day off, and a day off on the weekend is so rare to me that it wasn't about being productive. 

My fiancé and I went to town, there is absolutely nothing in Sunderland City Centre!

Got a new light fitting, some things for our holiday and some Valentines props for this years photos.

My fiancé bought a lava lamp. Urg.

Town was boring so we went home early as he had something important that he needed to finish building by Monday.

I spent the night watching Scott Pilgrim vs the world and writing a to do list for Monday!
