Monday's Good Stuff

Seriously, where do the weeks go?!  I swear it's been 7 minutes since I last posted MGS, not 7 days.  Does anyone else feel like this or is it just me hmm?

Anyway, enough rambling.  Onto the good stuff.

1)  I am really, really enjoying work.  I work shifts a week and so far all of those have been evenings.  I really like closing up- there's lots of jobs to do and the shifts go really quickly.  I just like having some money for myself again, to be able to pop out and buy a couple of pretty things and to go for a drink and not have to ask my parents for the cash.  It's great :)

2)  Speaking of going out and about, I've got so many plans this week!  I'm seeing my lovely friend Marianne for a drink and a Chinese tonight and my brother's coming too.  On Wednesday I'm going for a drink with Sarah from Knickers and Nail Polish (by the way, she has a great blog and not nearly enough followers so pop over there sharpish!) and then on Thursday I'm seeing my friend Denise for a drink.  Can you tell I'm still trying to keep my mind occupied? 
3)  Onto more superficial things again my lovelies- I've spent hours this weekend looking online for inspiration for my bedroom makeover.  I've currently got loads of ideas but they're all over the place.  I'll probably do an interiors inspiration post when the ideas become a little more streamlined, but for now I'm just excited to be changing things up here.

4)  This has just occured to me because I'm watching it now, but I am seriously obsessed by the new TV channel Really.  I've watched so much of it the last week or so.  It's got so many programmes that I've loved in the past like Spendaholics, The Bank of Mum and Dad, The House of Tiny Tearaways and What Not To Wear and I've finally got to watch The Rachel Zoe Project too- I die!  (If you watch it, you'll know what I mean!)  It's on Freeview channel 20, Sky 248 and Virgin 267 is you haven't seen it yet.

Oh and I've changed my laptop background to this, which makes me smile whenever I see it.  Words to (try and) live by.

Hi just wanted to say keep busy and focus on future plans to help you get through times when you are struggling. My sister found out her fiance was cheating on her just over six months before their wedding (and just when we found out my dad had terminal cancer). It was a truly horrible time, having to cancel the wedding and tell people when we were already struggling to deal with our family news. But I have to say that I feel she had a lucky escape and that she deserved better. I'm sure in time, for you, the future will be a lot brighter, you have so much going for you. xx

@Shellyti- It definitely feels that way this week. But I also have really good days and weeks so fingers crossed next week is a whole lot better :) Onwards and upwards! xx

@CameronPoe2409- Wow that must have been awful for her and your whole family too. What I'm going through feels so silly in comparison! You're right though, it will get a lot better. Thanks so much xx
