Bought suitcases ready for when we go on holiday in a few months :)

I love my tiny expensive carry on luggage suitcase on the left and my big store all my shoes in suitcase on the right haha least I'll have plenty of space to bring back all sorts of bits and pieces (not drugs I mean new clothes, shoes and presents)

I was at work today and I did make a pretty picture but I left it to try then forgot to pick it up so I shall have to post that another time

We decided to try use our Sunday productive myself and my aunty, so the flat pack tall-boy that has been sitting in her bedroom for weeks is now a stable well-built piece of furniture :D

I learnt that I am chief screwer, a useful talent indeed. 

Even the cats came to help out, reading instructions and ensuring that it's sturdy. They're funny little ones.

180 I passed by this beautiful place today as I visited a friend in Halifax, a place I must say i'm not very familiar. I do enjoy exploring though and my friend is a laugh so it was a really good day :) I would happily repeat. 

I also am dying to take my best friend & my God-son to Eureka, I remember it from when I was little as a magical world of wonder and I really want to share that with him!

179 Visited my best friend, her fiance and their son (who is my God-son). I'm a proud God-Mother so yes I will mention that at any given opportunity haha. Seeing those three always puts a smile on my face even on the most stressful of days, they really are some of the best people I've ever known :) Anyway seeing them made me think about my childhood & I gotta say I miss the days when going down this slide was the scariest experience I'd ever had. They were the days!

Another day at work! Animals were visiting today to give children to opportunity to learn about and experience! I gotta tell you, I do love where I work...no two days are the same it's so interesting. 

Anyway! As you can see I got my hands on a snake! I love snakes, they're so intriguing and clever. I could have happily sat with that snake for hours...infact I pretty much did haha

I also got a picture of this owl cause check out how handsome he is! Well he won me over with those big powerful eyes & his soft fluffy feathers.

177 Today I had work & I was suppose to be working with 5-11 year olds but in the morning session absolutely noone arrived so instead myself and the man I was working with decided we would explore our creative side... and plastercine . I made the butterfly and lady-bird :) He made the possibly more difficult caterpillar.

176 A friend of mine took me to the zoo today because i'm an excitable individual and he needed to get his mind off a couple of things. He was a bit of a grump at times but overall it was a good day :)  I love animals & he's a good friend. Plus! we went for a nandos when we got back to Bradford

175 I would have liked to sleep in this morning but apparently my cats had other ideas, It is safe to say I was a little bit grumpy and frustrated at like 5 this morning. However these flowers are slowly but surely brightening up my mood. Well that and I’ve been chatting to some lovely individuals :)

Today as a Sunday is nowhere near as exciting as yesterday when we were wedding dress shopping so I thought I'd post an inspirational quote instead :)  I reckon this is a good way to live your life. Myself and my family have been through many unfortunate situations within our lives but I'd like to think that through our strength we are able to help others in unfortunate situations. Infact we are! I know this as a few of my friends have said something similar to this to me as I've supported them through things.

173 Wedding dress shopping time! Obviously the dress my sister has chosen is top secret as to ensure her fiancé doesn't get any clues and to allow her to wow everyone fully on her big day. However how excited my sister is about wedding dress shopping and wedding planning in general is no secret, sometimes I think she's gonna burst. My sister is gonna blow people away on her wedding day, she's an organised, clever, beautiful lady.

172 This is written on the wall in my sisters house and I love it so much. I have always said there is a difference between a house and a home. A house is a building, a home is a place you belong and where you are happy. For a long time where I’m living now just felt like a house instead of a home and that was hard to deal with, but after continuously repeating myself to the family I live with things finally seem to be improving. Before it was like I lived with roommates now it’s starting to feel more like I live with family members.

171 This is the most frustrating situation in the world. The people who live on our street seem to not care at all that my aunty has a car and instead decide to take up infront of our house with one or two of their 4 cars.

I get so frustrated because I want to learn to drive and get a car however I know how much I would hate having to park around the corner just because some neighbour thinks it's acceptable to park infront of my house when they have a fenced in driveway within which they could easily fit the van in the picture or two of their smaller cars.

it is a common decency to ensure that IF you decide to park infront of someones house you leave room to park but between the man across the road and the man next door there is rarely space for my aunty to park. Sometimes they even park across our drive entrance which means my aunty can't park up there either!

170 I was at work today during which we were decorating bear masks but as I didn’t have time to make one myself I have no picture :( Instead I decided I will explain this picture! My cats have and use a water fountain :) it’s there to filter water to make it healthier and fresher for our cats and they love it. I mean when it first came I had to splash their nose so they would realise it was effectively a water bowl rather than a scary machine that makes a bit of noise. This water fountain cost my aunty only £3, bargain :)

169 This evening I went to visit a friend who hasn’t been having the best luck recently, things in his life aren’t exactly going the way that he had hoped. I went to be a listening ear for a friend and to make sure he hadn’t forgotten how to smile haha I’m joking it wasn’t that serious but it did do me some good to see him smile…means maybe I’ll worry for an hour instead of two tonight. As this isn’t the most cheery post in the world I thought I’d lighten it up with some flowers we have in the living room :)

168 This memory stick has my whole life on right now…well all college related life on haha essays and assignments galore!

I feel mildly sadistic when I have to decapitate him every single time I need to use my USB stick but it’s a necessary evil. To make it up to him perhaps I’ll give him a bath this week :)

167 Last night was stations dinner…an annual meal and piss up for train types. I didn’t get a picture of me dressed up so here’s one from a few weekends previous. I originally planned to just go out with the loco lot however the night really didn’t go as I’d hoped…there were arguments galore. I decided to give stations dinner a chance and I’m glad I did as I had a good time dancing with a few people and I got the chance to see people who I haven’t seen in quite a while :)

166 My brave little man had to go to the vets today :(   His eyes have been leaking clear discharge for a few weeks, I told my aunty he'd probably got a blocked tear duct and we took him to the vets to ensure that it was nothing serious.  He put green dye in his eyes so that he could see where his tears were going...and as you can see they go down his face not in his tear-ducts. However he says it's not causing him any harm so we should just keep an eye on it and wash his face haha.
