a world of good

oh dear, i will now apologise for the awful moany, grumpy post from friday - thank you for the lovely comments! i still haven't been refunded my money but i'll be down kicking up a fuss at the funding office tomorrow, so hopefully it will be in my account by friday!!

the weekend really has done me the world of good. i wasn't in the mood at all for any kind of a laugh on friday night, but when my boyfriend finally got back in touch (turns out i was worried about nothing... his phone took a detour into the sink when he was shaving!!), he persuaded me that a night out was the perfect medicine. and guess what? he was 100% right! after a moody first hour, the vodka kicked in and by the time my lovely friend claire turned up at our local, i was more than happy to have a little dance and a drink... five and a-ha on the jukebox, anyone? but the important thing was i had a great night and it really made me stop being such a moody idiot, all courtesy of my lovely sympathetic friends, who insisted buying drinks and taxis as i couldn't afford it myself. big thanks and hugs :)

in fact, it was such a good night that i only really remember up until about eleven o'clock, the only thing i can recall after that was lying in bed and giggling uncontrollably because the room was spinning..!

and saturday night was just as fun. after spending the day recovering on the sofa, we headed back down to the local for another good night. i started out sober as can be, taking nice photos for bebo and the like. after several tequilas, the photos became like this:




i spent today lounging on the sofa again... i was actually really excited about watching last night's x factor, only because britney spears was performing 'live'! i was so disappointed when she came out and mimed the whole thing. it felt like a total rip-off, anyone agree? her dancing was poor and a little out of time, and the whole thing was completely hyped up. as a singer myself, i really was disappointed in her. i know it sounds silly, because obviously i'm not anywhere ever near her league and am never likely to be, but in essence we get paid to do the same thing. it made me feel a bit sick that there are people like us that go out and work really hard to entertain a crowd and get paid a pittance for it, and then there's people who are really amazing but just can't be bothered to do what they're paid a ridiculous sum for! but how cool were the backing dancers she had? the whole circus-freak/puppet theme was amazing!!

and then, on a completely different topic, i'm a bit stumped for a diy and was wondering if anyone had any ideas for this smock from gap?


i bought it back in the summer and haven't really worn it, meaning to make something of it. i bought it in extra-small but it's still like a shapeless sack, even belted it's too long!! i would be ever so ever so grateful if anyone had a fabulous idea to make this look a little better???
and i promise, no more grumpy posts!

Glad you're feeling better, sometimes all it takes is for someone to be nice to you, don't you think? I love drunken photos, the blurrier the better! I don't know about the dress...if it were me I'd probably try to sew some little pearls onto the collar bit or something but if it's more of a shape issue then I haven't got a clue! Char x
