Tattoos

So this week I've had nothing to do at work, so I'm mainly getting paid to troll the internet. Which, hey, I'm not going to complain about, but it's getting a bit boring.. 


It's not been good for my lack of money either, it's encouraging me to look for new things for my flat online. I've come across some beautiful vintage suitcases at a sale room that I walk passed every day for work. The same one that sold those beautiful padded chairs I posted a photo of a few posts back. Anyway, I'm buying at least one of those for 'attractive' storage in my room. I own a lot of clutter and like to hide it when I'm not using it. Makes sense to have something pretty to keep them in! So hopefully going up to pick one or two of them in the next few days. Excited!

I LOVE this little minimal teacup drawing.

Very cute.

Anyway, in this who trolling session, I've been avidly searching out tattoo ideas. I've been considering a tattoo for months now. Well more than that but I've had a solid idea for a while now. I just don't have the guts to go for it. A lot of things worry me about it but I really want one.  I've always said that if I do get one, the conditions of its placement would be that it's not visible in my wedding dress and say, at future interviews. This means it has to be central on my body. My idea was to get a teacup in relation to our engagement at Disneyland on the teacups, and generally to represent my sheer love of tea. After a lot of thought about placements, I have decided my ribs is perfect (but meant to be really sore..). It's hidden but can be shown when I want it shown. Certain dresses might show it, some might not. 


What I need now, is advice! What do you think? Do you think I should go for it?


Also, the other small problem is that my parents totally freakin' hate tattoos! They said if I ever got one, they'd disown me. Which is extremely dramatic and probably not true. But This means before I did it, I'd have to convince them it was okay. Is it worth it? I don't want them to hate me, but I know they couldn't do that anyway! 

This photo makes me look dirty..

But I still like it.

In other news, we went to T in the Park on Saturday, as I said in the last post. It was a good laugh, but we got in for free and we weren't especially fussed for a lot of the music so really it was just a nice day out. We got to see our mates we rarely manage to see and seen their band, Woodenbox, play. Which was ace. Also, I managed to convince Tom to come to see Beyonce for a song or two which meant I could call the lovely Polly and leave her a voicemail of Single Ladies. She was very chuffed with that :) 

Last night I received this lovely engagement present last night from Tom's parents. It's a charm of two jigsaw parts, one gold and one silver. Sorry the photo isn't fantastic. I can't get a great photo of it as it's small. I thought it was such a lovely thing. I've added it onto my necklace I got for my 21st so it's safe. Don't trust my charm bracelet to be honest. It's a nightmare. Anyone got any recommendations for a new charm bracelet? I need a new bracelet to hold my charms and need to get them soldered on to keep them safe. I've lost a ton of them, even when they've been soldered on! Nightmare. 


Hope everyones enjoying Summer! 
Over and out.

Money = The Devil

It's official money is the devil! I didn't realise how much we all rely on money till I lost my bank card, haven't been paid, have a festival to go to, no cash for my lunch at work and no bank near by. This is an utter nightmare. 

This was the beautiful view we had at dinner

on Monday from Loch Fyne, Edinburgh.

I'm currently at work stressing out abou money but I think blogging will get it off my chest and stop me stressing. I am all finished my work and today and yesterday my boss hasn't been in, I don't know where he is. I need something to do but all the projects I've been working on are either finished or have been passed onto the coders. I can't leave as I need the money, I can't do nothing, thats boring. So I'm blogging :) 


I was waiting for my mates to put up photos from a night out I went to last week to blog again but they're not up! Bummer. It was the launch of a mates night in Edinburgh called Pet Rescue and it was such an amazing night! As it's called Pet Rescue, there was a lot of animal themed stuff around but not only that, there was a face painter! I was well into this and was one of the first few to go for it. I was a Tiger for the evening. I will put up a photo soon enough. But anyone from or near Edinburgh should head along to the next night. It's at the Store and is on the last Saturday of the month. Get on it! 

Works been pretty great at the moment. I'm starting to get some of my work actually launched. I'm working with the Homeless World Cup at the moment and they're about to load up my landing page design to their Facebook and profile image I did for them! It's pretty exciting to see my work actually live! Like them to hear about some exciting news about this years cup in Paris!


Some exciting news from my week is that I won tickets to T in the Park this weekend! I'm so excited. It's just a day ticket but it's to the day that is actually sold out and Beyonce is playing. To be honest, I'm not a huge Beyonce fan, but it's going to be a pretty good show so I want to at least see one song! Tom's not convinced though. Other than that, I'll get to see The Strokes again, along with Primal Scream and many more! I'm so excited to be going to a festival because I was starting to lose hope for this Summer! Shame the weather forecast is meant to be absolutely horrible! Oh well, it'll still be fun. 


Hope all is well where you all are. 
Over and out.
