Thoughts lately...

What have you been up to people ask? Work is my answer, work work and more work.

I work in a clothes shop,which is currently holding it's biggest sale ever. It has been extremely busy and everyone has been non-stop. The queues on the first two days were longer than I have ever seen them and I have been working there over a year...they were worse than Christmas! It's like people had never seen clothes before, stupidly busy. So everyone has been helping out putting in extra hours. Unfortunately head office have cut lots of hours,which obviously isn't good for anyone. My contracted hours have still remained the same,but I rely on the extra hours a lot and won't have half as much overtime now. So now, I think it's time for me to start looking for a new job...

Soon I have my driving test coming up and I am so so desperate to pass! This will be my 3rd attempt. In my lessons I am fine, and the lesson you have before the test I'm fine, it's just the test itself I've not been as good,hence the fails. Me and my instructor may actually have a full on crying session this time round with either me passing or failing. I feel like I have been learning forever and to fail and do it again, and again and now a third time is rather frustrating,but you have got to keep at it. I am so used to my instructor that when someone else is there instead of her I think I freak out a little bit,because I haven't got her reassurance. So she has suggested taking a mock test (eeeek) or having my boyfriend or someone sit in on my lessons so that I get used to someone else being there, I think I prefer the second option. Also my instructor has suggested eating a banana before I take my test, as many of her other learners have and they have passed...I didn't eat one on the other two tests,so on this one I am going to even though I don't really like them, if I do it and pass, it'll be hilarious :')

My holiday is fast approaching,yay!! It's August this weekend,and I go in September, so it really isn't long. It's all paid for, we just need to sort out insurance,how we're getting to and from the airport and I need to get some euros before I spend all my money! If I change it up, I can't spend it. I'm pretty much sorted with clothes, don't need to go too mad shopping as we're only going for a week,and when we get back it's going to be nearing Winter (ish) so I won't be able to wear much of it,so it'd be a waste. I would quite like to get my own suitcase but it's not vital, I'm sure someone has one I can use if I don't get round to buying one.
I've mentioned it before, but I've never been on holiday on my own before (as in no parents) so it's a little daunting trying to sort all this stuff out. My boyfriend is very with it when it comes to this sort of thing, so I know I'm in good hands!  Exciting!!! :)

So those are the things on my mind at the moment,just felt I needed to unload a little bit.

What's on my countdown list?...

Before I got an iPhone, I'd never used a countdown app in my life but it almost seems obligatory to have one when you have an iPhone, so I got one...

And I actually do quite like using it. I find it fun,and it is just really helpful showing you clearly how long you have until a certain event. I like it especially when you have a few countdowns in a row (making you look busy) it's nice knowing you have things coming up that you can look forward to.

So first thing on my Countdown is...

My driving test - I'm not telling you when it is, but the reason I'm looking forward to it (slightly) is because there have been two cancellations so I've managed to bring it forward and now don't have wait as long,which is what I was most annoyed about after failing my previous one - having to wait nearly 3 months to re-take it. If I pass it will be the biggest relief ever, I feel like I have been learning for years and years!

My Holiday to Majorca  - Currently 79 days away. Ever since it has been booked,I've not been looking forward to it that much,only because it has been so far in future it hasn't felt like I'm actually going away. All of a sudden I am excited. Yayyyy!! I think some of it is to do with the fact that everywhere you look there is pictures of people on their holidays and I just think I am actually going away as well! Also I have already got 3 bikinis..but as I keep saying I have got to start buying holiday stuff now because by the time I go the shops will have already started bringing winter stuff out.

Imagine Dragons Concert at the O2 - Currently 131 days away. Now this one is a present from me to my boyfriend for his birthday, and I'm going with him so that is why it's on my list. Not a huge ID fan but I know a few songs so I'm sure it'll be fine. It's not about getting to 20 years old and saying you've only seen an S Club 7 concert is it? ;) So I thought I would change that,but annoyingly he sort ruined the surprise and I had to tell him before he bought the tickets himself :') 

Most of all though, what I am looking forward to is James coming back from Australia. I have missed him so much, I've never wanted to see a person so badly! We had never spent more than 5 days apart and sometimes even that was like "Whyyyyyy? :(" so going from that straight into 3 weeks was tough. I have found that it makes you really appreciate the other person and makes you want to make the most of the time you have together. It feels like he has been away for over a month. My friend's boyfriend goes away for months at a time with very little or no contact,I don't know how she does it sometimes. 

What are you looking forward to?
