Nom nom nom

Today M cooked me minted lamb ragu.
Whilst watching 'unbreakable' and 'be kind, rewind' we sat and watched them and drank corona whilst eating an amazing meal. Best Friday in a long time.

See my breathe

Today is so cold that not only am I wearing my pjs... I am wearing my onsie too... Can't wait until summer.

Good quiz it was

Today has been very productive in work. Not only did I start making jewellery in work I received a massive amount of comics to sell in work! So excited about selling them.

This was the night this week I went to jontis quiz. I was going to have a pic of the comics but then when I team member handed in a quiz sheet with the most amazing drawing. Amazing!

No choo

So today I made my zombie survival guide. It's not completely finished yet but I'm feeling a lot safer now :)

This happened after I got home of course which was a nightmare die to the trains not running this morning cause of the ice. Jonti was kind enough to give me a lift to work and back.

All the way home

After a very Positive day I work and spending an hour with Jonti after work I make my way home to tidy the house before M arrives.
My walk home once I get off the train is spooky enough in the dark but with the addition of the fog I found the silent hill atmosphere worthy of today's picture ^^

New brighton on Sunday [05-02-12]

I officially hate Barman and this will be the last mention of him in my blog. Forever.

On a lighter note I needed to get out so I rang Dan and we went to New Brighton.

Once we were done eating ice cream and playing on the arcade machines we went to a new restaurant called brooklyns and we both fell in love with the staff, the food and even the prices. I had eggs benedict and it was an absolute taste sensation, besides the fact it could have been hotter by a degree or two I couldnt fault it.

Later on after stuffing myself with soup and eggs and even more ice cream I went to go and see my dad and Elaine who took me for a meal in royal oak in Brombrough, I had three racks of ribs and a massive ice cream sundae. My third helping of ice cream that day :P

i have no idea how I am not a million billion stone.

The drunken singer [04-02-12]

Me and Jonti went to the barcelona bar or a nice pint after work. We ended up staying there for the majority of the night watching the bands on. The man in the very back playing his guitar was unbelievable! Not many singers are so drunk they knock over their own microphone and carry on singing until someone comes and holds up the mic or them!

Dinner with M. [03-02-12]

I apologise for the poor quality of the picture but i worried about putting the flash on in such a wonderful restaurant.

M took me for a date again, He made reservations for 7 at bistro Jacques and i cant even begin to describe how incredible the food was. He wouldn't even let me pay for anything and then we enjoyed wine back at his whilst watching scary films like the last exorcism.

One word to describe this date? wow.

My new love [02-02-12]

One thing I like the most about Jonti now having a shop in Quiggins is that now we can go for food after work.
tokyou is now my favourite restaurant in Liverpool. I genuinely could eat there every day.

All for nothing [01-02-12]

This took me three hours to get ready, all to help jonti out with a favour, and it turns out it was all for nothing.

very professional [31-01-12]

Look what I was given today! I love it and now I put all my just in this week stock on it! Thank you so much Jonti!

Goodbye [30-01-12]

Old shop is officially empty and ready for the new people to move in to. I am so excited about my new shop but I have to admit, that this picture makes a lump in my throat. This shop has done me so well and has gotten me to where I am today. I love it and I will miss it :(

Ste paints the floor [29-01-12]

So me and ste were painting the floor today.
I was doing all the work in a very professional manner when I discovered lucy smells right behind me on the floor... I dont know who wrote this but I find it very accurate.

Hungover [28/01/12]

So hungover from the night before.

All these games on this shelf needs gutting, pricing, photographing and being sorted on the shelves correctly then filing the guts away in the drawers properly... I think I might die

Date with M. [27-01-12]

So the man who I went with coffee with yesterday asked me out again.

me and M went out for drinks, my word and did we drink!! We talked about so much and both got quite drunk haha.

POF coffee [26-01-12]

When I am out with my mates, I couldnt care less about meeting a man and seeing as I am always with my friends its very hard for me to find dates. This is why I joined plenty of fish. Today I finally met some one worthy of meeting in quite a while. we drank coffee, ate sour sweets and got on very very well. I would definitely see him again if he asked.

Shops are now open! [25-01-12]

So my shop is now open! A lot of work still needs doing but right now I am so so happy with what has been done!

Busy taking pictures [24-01-12]

Already past the deadline for the opening day so I am trying to get everyone to work as hard as they can to get my shop ready in time. what am I doing you ask? well... Im busy taking pictures

Hard at work [23-01-12]

Got my dad working hard finishing off his handy work with the lovely green and black paint I bought.

Baby! [22-01-12]

Met up with an old friend tonight, Jaime C.

Hes now living with his girlfriend and expecting a baby in a matter of weeks!

I saw their new house and I won at the game of life. Pretty damn good night in my opinion.

Magic? [21-01-12]

So Jonti and his work partner are opening a magic shop opposite me. They are very annoying and as much as i love them I can see them annoying me... alot... haha

It was a date! [20-01-12]

So me and the teacher went for our date tonight, thats right! I said it was a date! It took me about 6 drinks to bring up the nerves to ask but I was rewarded with the answer I wanted. This was the last drink of the night, 'A zombie' i ordered it just because of my fascination with zombies but this drink nearly killed me!

Can you smell gas? [19-01-12]

We got evacuated from work today. There was a potential gas leak in Lewis's so we ended up spending the day in a pub waiting to see if we could get back into work to finish the wood work... it never happened, so annoying.

Date or No Date? [18-01-12]

This is a picture of me after a night out at the cinema. I dont look the happiest, this is because im so confused! I went to the cinema with the teacher. Third time I have seen him now and I still dont know if its a date or not. grr

Posters [17-01-12]

Steven is an amazingly talented man who is drawing all my window posters for me. Cant wait to see how they look!

I got wood. [16-01-12]

Finally bought all the wood for the shelving in the new shop!
Excited!

Night In [15-01-12]

Its not always a night out with friends drinking, eating and partying.

These are the nights I look forward to the most, sitting in with a glass of wine, chilled music and working on my drawing skills. Bliss.

Chester night out [14-01-12]

I used to work, study and socialize in Chester. I loved it. A year ago I opened my own game shop in Liverpool and now I never go so today I was very excited to meet up with everyone there and enjoy a big night out. i loved dancing in reflex to barbie girl with my old friend. incredible.

The Artist [13-01-12]

Today I was lucky enough to watch one of the greatest films I have seen in a very long time.

'The Artist' is just such a wonderfully inspirational movie which moved me to tears.
Jonti, Andrew, Mark and Chris T all came with me to the The fact Cinema in Liverpool. Nothing beats an amazing movie in reclining chairs with a glass of wine, incredible.

A little help from my friends [12-01-12]

Today I had the biggest amount of help from my friends. Jonti, Steven and Andrew all came round today to help me with the move. I am so grateful for all their help so I decided to treat them to MacDonalds.

Dip in the brush. [11-01-11]

so today it began! level UP! is now making the move to the bigger stall we were debating over the previous week. Andrew has been helping me paint and i think I got more paint on me than I did on the walls :P

Pub Quiz. [10-01-11]

Tuesday is Quiz day! I look forward to this day of the week as its the only day I ever really only have to see Jonti. Especially when we have enough money to spare to buy beefeaters rack of ribs!

Espresso Martinis. [08-01-11]

Barman is still in the picture sometimes to my heartbroken dismay. Today I received some annoyingly depressing news off him.

This downer resulted in me needing a drink which my friend Tom decided to look after me and take me for an incredible drink which i discovered called Espresso Martini's.

We drank all night and Tom sang 'gogol bordello' whilst strolling down Liverpool back to his place for skittle vodka shots. It was amazing.

Food of the gods. [08-01-11]

Earlier today I went for a coffee with 'The Teacher.' Its been so long since I could just sit there and talk with a man. I loved it.

To polish the night off perfectly I went for a meal with my friend Dan. It was his birthday earlier that month so we went to 'Prezzo' to celebrate. This was the nicest salad I think I have ever had.

Once the plates were licked clean, we paid and then ran off to the vue once again and watched Sherlock 2. It was good to see my husband Mr Downey Jr. on the screen :P

Welcome Home! [07-01-11]

Such a happy day!
My dad and Elaine finally came home today! Straight after work, I jumped on the train and went to see the family i had missed so much. Soon after eating I had received a text off Andrew and Mark asking if I would like to go the cinema to watch Mission Impossible : Ghost protocol, I never pass up on the invitation of the cinema and I enjoyed every minute of it :D

Closure. [06-01-11]

Last night, just before I fell asleep, me and Chris broke up.

Today was the awkward meeting up, discussing everything for closure.
It surprisingly went very well and we decided to stay friends :)

To move or not to move? [05-01-11]

Today I found out that a new stall was available in Quiggins.
I have completely outgrown my new stall but the cost of moving and double the rent is the certainly stalling my decision.

My dad is currently away at the moment on holiday with his girlfriend Elaine. I miss him so much, I wish he was here, I cant make this decision without him.

Bla bla bla. [04-01-12]

Today was the day of conversation.

Jonti came to see me and talk about his new life plans. Andrew came to work for me today and Chris W came to see me... busy busy busy...

Oh, and this picture? I saw it in a shop and decided that this is definitely going to be my wedding cake when/if I get married!

It was needed. 03-01-12

Today was a day of being as lazy as possible.
Me and Steven M spent the day together doing what I do best, cooking a fry up!

NOM NOM NOM!

Family Time - 02-02-12

Today I went to Wales, it was the annual time to visit my mother and what better holiday to do it on as Christmas?

This gorgeous baby is my first and only nephew through my half sister Vicky. His name is Ben.

New Start! 01-01-12

New year! New start!
This is a year I have a lot of material to change.

With small business, bad news and worse relationships I tried to break the pattern by starting this one with the guy I've been dating Chris.

Hungover from the celebrations of the night before, we ended up going to the Dovedale towers pub in Liverpool or the nicest minted lamb pie I have ever had the fortune to taste.
