You know you have perhaps splurged and bought too many pairs of shoes when this is the size of the parcel that shows up a few days later. Oopsie.

I love them all though, although the pair I love the most are too big for me

My fiance got me a lovely watch for Christmas, it’s pink (of course) with sparkly hearts on it — I love it, he did a great job picking it out because it’s a dangerous game that, choosing jewellery for me. Most people get it wrong and then there’s that whole awkward thing where you either have to tell them it isn’t your cup of tea, or pretend you like it.

I am thinking of returning the favour and getting him one of those really nice Swiss Army watches for his upcoming 30th birthday.

I ended up spending most of New Years Eve pissed off.

I got stood up, three times.

Let me precede this by saying I am not a huge fan of going out on New Years Eve and usually have to be nagged and pushed into going out. This year I had decided I wanted to go out, I decided not to be a grump, I decided to get dressed up and do the whole thing.

Firstly I got stood up by my parents who asked me if I wanted to go somewhere, I said yes and started getting ready, a few minutes later they were off out of the door — I was left scratching my head at that, but I am sure it wasn’t done on purpose as they aren’t mean.

Then, fifteen minutes before I was due to set off, after literally hours of bathing, waxing, painting, making up etc etc, my friend text me to say plans had changed and she wasn’t going now — wtf? Her text didn’t even make sense, it said something about having got her mums tickets now, that meant nothing to me but I didn’t call her to clarify as I really didn’t want to speak to her at that point.

Oh well, as least I will still be able to go out later on when the other half arrives I thought — oh no, 30 minutes before he was due to arrive he called to tell me he was still at work and wouldn’t be here until about 11.30.

11.30, what the hell use is that on new years eve? It was too late and pointless to go out at that time so we just stayed in.

That’s the last time I make plans for New Years Eve.

My dad has been searching high and low for some new work boots that he likes and are affordable, he’s been looking for a few weeks and holding out for the sales. Well he should have just asked me, he should know I know a lot about where to get shoes, it’s like my specialist subject hehe

If you need some new work boots then you need look no further than 511 Tactical, they have a huge range available at really affordable prices. I have just sent him the link and I am sure he will find what he needs there.

I can’t believe it’s 2009 already, my how time flies. It doesn’t seem like 5 minutes ago it was turning 2000!

We went out to the local pub with some friends, watched some fireworks and then came home and have been playing N64 since. Nothing like a bit of retro gaming to bring in the new year.

Hope it’s a good one for all xx
