Bored .......[ Random post so probably won't make much sense!!]
Second day into my week long holiday and I am absolutely bored – I’m going crazy!!

I really did need this week off though as last week turned out to be one of the worst working weeks since I’ve been there. By Friday I was ready to murder someone, literally ..... I was in such a crappy mood all week that even my team manger noticed, pulled me to one side all concerned and asked me if everything was ok - just certain people not worth mentioning who think their god’s gift and are able to get away with shit did my head in .... it’s unfair .... However I am not going to waste my post on these individuals.

Anyways, the weather has been lovely – a wee bit too warm for my liking but nevertheless nice. Spend the day shopping but soon realised it’s not much fun on your own – EVERYONE I know is at work or uni .... Not counting my cousin sisters whom I’m not talking to anymore....... So I was completely friendless today ...... But I prefer it like this [sometimes]. Put on my Ipod, listen to my music and shop peacefully..... Didn’t purchase want I really wanted – Clothes, of course ... So I spend my hard earned dosh on things I don’t even need [or as my nani would say on ‘Faazool’ things]

From tomorrow though I will soon be busy ... Got a hair appointment [cut & highlights required!!], go back into town to do more shopping, meet up with some friends who are free and come Thursday .... I’m off to LONDON ... Whooo Hooooo!! Cannot wait until I hit the retailers on Oxford Street, Piccadilly and most importantly Carnaby Street! Will stay with my bro and sis in law until late Sunday evening, chill the following Monday and go back to work on Tuesday ... ;)

Finally, I cant remember where and who’s blog I saw the following but thought it was fun to try & I’ve not nothing better to do at the mo ...... So:

Go to Wikipedia. Put in your date of birth..... For example mine is 05 August 198_*ahem* and then post 3 events, 2 birthdays, 1 death and 1 holiday - just pick out the events you want!

Here goes... 5th August

3 Events:

1110 – Henry I crowned King Of England in Westminster Abbey
1884 – The cornerstone for the Statue of Liberty is laid on Bedloe’s Island in New York Harbor
1962 – Nelson Mandela is jailed

2 Birthdays:

1862 – Joseph Merrick aka The Elephant Man [coincidentally he was born and grew up where I was born and still live before he traveled to London & became infamous]
1930 – Neil Armstrong. The “first man on the moon” allegedly

1 Death:

1962 – Marilyn Monroe .... Wow, never knew that one of the greatest legends ever died on this day

1 Holiday / Festival:

• Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving day in Croatia ... Hmmmmm.....

Interesting to know what occurred throughout History on the day you were born.....

What fun! Try it guys!

    Spending hard earned cash on fazool things is better than spending credit on fazool things...which is what I've done this past week - ouch! Hope you have a lovely time in London!
