Now I know what you're thinking. 'She said she's going to post more often...' blah blah. Yes I did say that. It didn't happen. Boo hoo. It's pretty much down to 'I'll do it when I get the chance' now. So do not fear, I have not abandoned the blog. I just need to find the time to fit it in.
One of the things taking up more of my time is our new kitty. Yes, we did it! We have a black Bengal called Willow and she is luscious :-) Nearly a year old now, as we got her at 10 months old. She is very cute, very mischievous and sometimes very naughty! Like now, she is scratching a cardboard box, when she has a perfectly good scratching tower thingy that she actually does like and use! Silly kitty. We just had her neutered and microchipped this week too, so she currently has a big chunk of fur missing :-( We hadn't let her out at all as we didn't want her meeting a boy kitty...! Also we live near a main road and BF is worried she will get hit by a car. So it's under debate whether she will be let out at all. I think we should get some cat reins and take her for a walk! :-)
We are off to Edinburgh again. I know, predictable. But we are going for the Military Tattoo this time in August so it will be nice not to have to pack winter clothing for a change. We're not staying at the hostel this time either. Had enough of noisy students singing in the shower room next door and everyone banging doors all the bloody time. Hmmm, must be getting old if youngsters are starting to bug me...! So anyway, we have booked into a very reasonably priced B and B so that'll be a nice change too. I hope.
We're also hopefully going to Brighton to this burlesque cabaret night with GBF and his hubby and my best friend. She's not bringing her boyfriend, I think it was something to do with the fact he has lots planned with his friends for the summer and she deserves time with her friends! I digress. It's a big dress-up affair, with dinner, a show and dancing after, so we need to plan outfits. I have a few ideas in mind, but the club does different themed nights and we don't know which one we're booking yet, so clothing choices are slightly on hold. They do a masquerade ball night which I think might be the favourite... :-)
Speaking of my best pal, we are celebrating our 10 year anniversary this year. Yes, it's ten whole years since that fateful day that we met - I threw my pen lid at her and the rest is history... Through our train journey across Europe, to dodgy dates and doomed relationships, from big nights out drinking Cosmo's to cosy afternoons drinking tea, we've stayed intact. And more importantly, so has our friendship. It's rare to meet a person you immediately feel comfortable with straight away. We became friends from the beginning and it's only become stronger over time, when jobs and life stuff get in the way and you see each other less, it's the time you make that becomes important. It was her birthday this week and I bought her perfume with green tea and jasmine. As soon as I smelled it, I knew she would love it. Sometimes that's an instinctive thing, but she's easy to buy for. I either think, 'well I love it, so she will too', or 'this is not me, but so her'. Funny how that works. Having so much in common, a similar way of thinking and the same values, we are two peas in a pod. (Which is funny, because I'm three years older and she actually has a twin sister!) So, to celebrate our 'friend-versary', as I have decided to call it, we are having a weekend away to do stuff we like that the BF's don't. Like cultural stuff. Not that they don't like cultural stuff, but we love it :-) arty, literary stuff that our boys are not into. Can't wait :-)
Job stuff - I've been given the title of 'unofficial merchandiser' at work, which is nice I suppose. Our supervisor is currently on and off sick so me and one of the other girls have ended up basically doing her job. It's not her fault and I don't mind really, it's just a bit annoying not to be paid for doing it. I still think the tax code is wrong too, I'm on about the fourth one now in six months which to me sounds ridiculous! I'm considering finding out how one becomes a visual merchandiser as I would rather make displays to promote the sales than actually sell stuff!
As for the other things I mentioned last time, I'm still keeping them under wraps :-p
Until next time folks... :-)
