Estate agents...

Does anyone else find estate agents are the most frustrating people in the world?

I myself like to get things done rather quickly, I don’t rush, I do things properly but I do them as fast as I can so then it’s done and out of the way, especially if it’s something I’m doing for someone else.

Estate agents quite clearly do not have this personality trait. I moved into my current house on the 10th March 2010. It is a terrace house with an alley at the back, this alley has been gated and made into a communal area which I absolutely love, however this alley is the only way to put the rubbish bin out to be collected, and we are still waiting on a key for the alley gate!!

This, for us, means we either do not put our bin out (ewww gross!) or we have to drag the smelly big black rubbish bin through our house, down the steps at the front door and round the corner of the street to the side of the alley for the bin men to collect.

I ring the estate agents on a bi-daily basis to ask what is happening with the key, and every time I call I am told they are still waiting on the council to send it to them, this is the same council who I rang to tell them we had no bin and who then sent out the black bin plastic and paper bins within two days. Some how I don’t quite believe the estate agent.

Yes I agree councils can be very very slow, but they have proven to me that when it comes to waste management, they are very fast, so why pray tell, has my key not yet been received by the estate agents? Most probably because they haven’t ordered it!!

If you know any estate agents, please tell them to get a new job, if you are becoming one, quit and become a shop assistant, people won’t hate you as much.

Summer Work Clothes

Well, I work in an office all year round but it gets rather silly, we don't have air conditioning so in the winter it's really cold and in the summer its ridiculous boiling hot.

Now last summer I suffered miserably during the summer because I couldn't figure out what to wear to the office without coming across as a little whore. It gets so hot that I want to sit there in my lovely holiday dresses so I’m not sweating like a dog, but I get funny looks as it's a reasonably posh office.

City shorts aren't really something I can pull off as I still weigh far more than I used to, plus it’s that warm that your legs stick together.

I'm definitely a dress girl when it comes to summer but I can't find a smart work dress in a fabric that won't roast me like a chicken. I keep thinking that I’ll just make one but I always end up too busy, any ideas ladies?

Acessories..

Don’t usually pay much attention to accessories but for some strange reason this month I just can't seem to get enough of them.


Like any truly girly girl there's just something about shiny, pretty, feminine objects that just makes me smile inside. Now as a student I really don't have that much money but its loan season and as I’d just been wandering around Manchester indulging in another of my addictions, the ever enticing shoe shop, I realised that as I am actually going on holiday this year I could do with a few jewellery staples for my week in the sun.



As I wandered in and out of accessorize and river island I was really disappointed, I wanted something to jump out at me, convince me that it would go with my wardrobe and fit in with anything that I’d make. And on my way across the busy concourse to next something finally did - to my immense surprise it was in Wallis.

Wallis, the place I take my mum to do her Christmas party shopping or were I buy my good quality pants for work.

Still despite all this I went in and found everything that I had been looking for, minimal but colourful and very classy.

Now I’m aware they may not be to everybody's taste but I LOVED them!!

And across in trust old next a more modern, young version but the same thing again, charm pendants and earrings made from beads, this is the stuff I love, that I’ve made all my life that I’ve been waiting for people to sell so I don’t have to cut my fingers every time I want a new piece of jewellery!!

If that wasn't enough to make my day, I then went on to a friend’s blog -

She had written about an online store sugar&vice, I have to agree with her that is some of the most beautiful one of quirky jewellery I’ve seen, then scanning more blogs I found somewhere here who again has more beautiful accessories :D

I'm in HEAVEN!!!

Decision time :)

Ok, so this site is mainly about my weight, no one is really gonna wana follow it, and that's all good with me, but i've made a decision. This is also gonna be a whole load of ramblings about me and my life too, nothing too interesting just my thoughts and feelings on manchester, it's shops, it's night life and the clothes which i buy and or make :)

A day in life

Hey,
so as you may have guessed, I'm obsessed with my weight, it disgusts me, this blog is just going to be a place for me to post my daily food journals and complain about my weight without it annoying any of my friends of family. I'm no a new must loose weight stint and I'm hoping that this time it will actually work!! i want to get down to a lovely 126 lbs or 9 stone for July this year when i go on holiday, I'm currently 150!! So feel free to keep track of my progress and shout at me when i veer off course.
Much love
Hannah
