follow up

I know I promised angst in my last entry but there was surprisingly little this time around. I think the fact that I've finally got a "grown-up" job does a lot towards that cause...and a grown-up flat seems to help too. Now if only I had a grown-up boyfriend and my mum would be over the moon...blargh. She stayed for two days and then had to get back because apparently Dad is building an addition onto the house although I'm not sure if that's a good idea. We did have a serious discussion about my lack of engagement ring like that MATTERS...in this day and age.

It's not really a big deal, like every British woman of a certain age I have problems with my mother...I'm lucky they aren't bigger problems really.

Anyway I'm up late for someone who STARTS WORK TOMORROW.

yay for shiny things

Today Jeremy and I went to IKEA because I haven't seen him in a while and the last tenant in this flat was apparently COLOURBLIND! I'm no expert in interior decoration (and based on some of Jez's choices at IKEA neither is he) but anything would have been better than the orange curtains I was left with, now I have nice blue curtains and a lot of cheap student-y cutlery and cookware. I'm far from being a student but I'm still CHEAP. My mum is coming up soon :-\ and she is going to bring some stuff as well, an electric mixer apparently, which will be nice if I want to do any cooking.

We also went to Princes Street to do some clothes shopping but with little success, I'm not sure how I'm supposed to dress for this new job so I'll have to make do with what I have and hopefully pick up some clues from what everyone else is wearing on Wednesday!

Got to go tidy the flat now, expect some angst tomorrow when Mum shows up.

celebrate good times come on!!!1

I GOT THE JOB!!!!!!!!!! I start in two weeks and it's pretty close to where I live and I get paid a LOT (!!!) at least, more than I did working for Barry.

YAY YAY YAY I may have had a few drinks to celebrate one might say...a few too many!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!oneoneone

starting from scratch

Well here we go. New house, new job (maybe? hopefully?), new method of transportation (no more bus fares for me it's cycling all the way), new blog. Not that there's anything wrong with my livejournal, maybe I'll still update it, all I seem to do anymore are stupid memes. After all I've turned thirty (and I am honestly not going mad over it, it's only a number...) and maybe I'll leave livejournal to the teenagers. And go to a "real" blog.

New house, meaning my flatmates and I have finally disbanded after our long and tumultuous relationship. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the washing up they never did, it was the fact that they kept calling me "Mims." So now I live in Leith. Alone- well. I've got a fish, but he doesn't have a name yet. Recommendations?

New job (maybe? hopefully?) meaning the interview went well. I think. I hope. Nice men in business suits at least and my CV is very impressive if I do say so myself. It's not the sort of thing I would usually go for, some huge corporation and I don't even really know what they DO (although it's probably not environmentally friendly) but it's based in Edinburgh and hey. Maybe it's time for a change.

So...new life.
