Shopping trip

After work yesterday, my dad told me that he and my mum were going shopping and asked if I wanted to go with. I had no choice but to go with really since they were going for a birthday present for me and had no idea what to get me. After deciding that I needed a new pair of trainers, we looked about all the shoe shops in the shopping centre but ended up in JD Sports and I once again ended up with a pair of bright blue shoes that I'm not entirely sure about buuuuut that happened last time and they turned out to be a favourite that I really don't want to throw out. These are super comfy but I think they look strange since the toe of the shoe is so rounded like that - my last pair had more of a shape to them. I'll get used to them soon enough. :D

I also got a couple of pairs of shoes (that I promise you look so much nicer than the picture implies) since I don't have a decent pair of flat shoes to wear out. I bought a cheap pair from Primark a while back because I didn't want to ruin my nice heels but you can't really clean those and therefore they look awful now. Awk well, they only cost a couple of pounds. So one pair of these shoes is from my papa and the other wasn't a present since I just needed a pair anyway. :)

After I walked out of Clarks, my dad asked me "What do you want for your birthday?" and once again I had no real answer. So we looked all over the place and ended up in Ortak where this was purchased:

Awk, again it's so much nicer then the picture implies. I love it. :)

Wellies, Bowls and Raspberries.

I went shopping for some T in the Park essentials with Laura-Ann in Glasgow today. I bought this sexy pair of Hunter wellies and that bowl & spoon set (there's four bowls, not one), a blanket/throw and socks from Primark.Also purchased was a lovely pair of shorts, a skirt and a hat from H&M.

Jayne had a friend over and they ate the last pizza from the freezer for dinner. So I asked my mum to take me to Morrisons for pizza, expecting a "no!" in response, but surprisingly she said yes. I got a delicious ham pizza all to myself. Well, ham and pineapple, but I don't like the pineapple. it most definitely should NOT go on pizza. Aswell as pizza, I got this lovely box of berries. I had never tried raspberries until I munched on these. They taste nothing like raspberry flavoured things.

Oh, I'm far too excited about T in the Park! Only 14 days to go. ;D

Off to Jellybaby tonight at the abc. Round one, take two. Let's hope we manage to make it in tonight. :)

Wake Me Up

One of my 43 Things, was to raise £100 for a charity, which I've managed to do for Cancer Research UK by taking part in Race for Life. Brilliant. You can still sponsor me here, even though I've reached my target. Every little helps. :) Yeah, I had a target of £75 and not £100, but I honestly didn't think I'd get more than £10. So, thank you if you donated. <3 For an example of how Cancer Research UK has helped a member of my family, click here.

I've just finished working 9 days in a row doing a variety of jobs in the home. Last night when working a back shift in care, one resident said to me, "Cara, what even is your job?" and another said "You seem to be doing everything." haha. So true. Jack of all trades I am. So glad to be off tomorrow. No long lies for me though, up early to get a train to Edinburgh for Race for Life. Then back at work for three days working earlies in care.

Rachel, Kirstie and I planned to go out on Thursday night to the abc and since I'd been working constantly, I was quite looking forward to a fun wee night out. Whilst planning on going out, I found out a bunch of folk I knew were also going so it'd be more fun than just the three of us. We queued in the cold for just over half an hour and finally got to the front where Kirstie and Rachel put their heels on and we all took out our ID. But, in the process of taking out our ID, Kirstie discovered she had no purse and with no purse, there is no ID. No abc for us. We went to McDonald's and then a wee drive up Glennifer Braes and watched some cars in the distance and some planes landing. It looks so pretty. While in the car, we blasted some Disney songs, which was fun but still not as fun as a wee catch up with some folk in the abc. Aw well, shit happens. We'll just have to check before we leave from now on that everyone has ID, haha.

On Friday at work, it was Frank's birthday. He's just in the home for respite. He's lovely but he wasn't feeling too well so didn't come down to the dining room at lunch or dinner. Annette, the cook, baked a wonderful cake for him, his family and the residents so at dinner time, Kim, Mandy and myself went up to his room to sing happy birthday. Just as we were about to head up the stairs, the doorbell rang and many members of Frank's family had arrived to see him and were witnesses to our awful singing. But everyone, including the rest of the residents, all got a piece of cake after dinner and Frank was well happy.  I love moments like that at work. :)

I'm going shopping on Thursday with Laura-Ann for stuff for T in the Park. Excited! :D

Shopping!

Recent purchases. I had a good wee day shopping with Kirstie then again later with my mum and sister. I got the vest top in a variety of colours and McDonald's was consumed. 

My Histrionics video reach it's 10,000th view today. That is insane!

 No progressed anywhere on the job front. I still don't know what to do. I need to phone my boss anyway ans ask her if it's all right if I put her down as a reference so I don't know if I should ask to work in care or something first then if she says no, apply of the other jobs. Decisions, decisions.
