Pre-Work Stress!

Un disastro this morning.  I was getting changed after the gym and while zipping up my top (it has a long zip down one side of my ribs) I caught the fabric in it and broke the zip...leaving me with a gaping hole in my side. 

There is no way I could have worn the top to work like that...so I had to wait for the shops to open so I could buy a new one.  And guess what...I couldnt find anything I liked or that was suitable...it didn't help that my bra today is bright pink so I couldn't even try some lighter clothes on!

Finally found something after 30mins but am still feeling resentful towards it as I did not want to buy it!

I waited 50 minutes until 9am, wasted 1 hr 15 minutes flexi time by being late for work should have been there at 8.30, and spent £12 I haven't really got.  GAH.  Not a good start.

It is lucky I had money in my account to buy a new top or I would have had to wear my coat in the office all day! 

I am going to bring an emergency top to work and leave it in my desk to avoid future disasters.  I always wonder what would happen if I forgot my trousers or something.....I'd have to get the bus all the way back home in my sweaty gym clothes and then all the way back into town...would be a nightmare! 

Perhaps I shall leave emergency trousers in desk too............

5 days til sun, sea and....street parties!

Over a month since I last blogged...jeeeez....now my holiday is in 5days!!!  Gran Canaria here we come!

Found out today that next week is CARNIVAL WEEK in Playa Del Ingles which is where we are staying woooooo!  See this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xr86TGcgv78
All day/night street parties, parades, drag queen competitions and at some point a paella to feed 2000 people!
 
My hair is now blonde!  Thanks to the wondeful hairdressers at Boosh, Swansea.  They have performed a total miracle on my hair since last summer.  It was very dark brown, almost black, but over a few sessions they have managed to make it first brown, by cleansing it then dying it (this is a nice sounding way of saying they stripped it) then gradually blonder through highlights.  It looks natural too because the highlights are so thin and carefully done....nothing like when I tried to bleach my own hair in the first year of uni...gaaah total disaster....and when I tried to give myself highlights and ended up with obviously stripey hair. 
Oh I could sit here for days and tell you of all my hair dye emergencies and disasters.  But....no more!  I am staying with the professionals now!
 
It sounds like my poor hair should be ragged with all the stripping, dying and bleaching but it is actually in really good condition.  Can't recommend Boosh highly enough!  Each time I've left there I've been really pleased.
 
I have been really good going to the gym 5 days a week before work since January but now I am sitting in bed with the left over Christmas tub of Roses next to me :)
As always I have eaten too many and now feel sick!  Put the tin AWAY girl.
 
5 days 5 days!!
