Feb 26th - Meet Oreo

So I found out recently that my housemate wanted a pet and because we live in a rental we have to be choosy with what we get. I wasn't really very fussed whether we had a pet before or not. That being said however, the past housemate had a dog without the landlords knowledge (which we didn't know). Even though it was a pain sometimes, I did enjoy its company when I was lonely or depressed and do miss now that she has moved out. So while I was at work I received a picture of my housemate with the cutest black and white bunny which they decided to name Oreo! The name does suit it quite well. So welcome Oreo to our little household.

Feb 25th - Spoilt much?

I decided that I was going to enjoy my time off today and spoil myself by going to gold class :) I went and saw safe haven and it was quite good. I really enjoy Nicholas Sparks films and this one was no exception. It's also great getting to enjoy a movie on the big screen in recliner chairs and be brought food and drinks :) I enjoyed nachos, followed by dumplings and ended off with some spanish doughnuts with choc dipping sauce :) Mmm it was fantastic and I loved every minute, as I always do :) can't wait I'll next time

Feb 24th - Savers

Op shopping is definitely my favorite kind of shopping! And with quite cheap prices already, the words '50% off clothing sale' make things even better! Especially if you're me and you have in your hot little hands $50 worth of savers vouchers! So technically I'd be getting $100 worth of clothing for nothing :) I entered their Halloween contest in October and was one of the three winners to win $100 of savers vouchers :) yay! In the past I've won $100 of salvos vouchers - I did that in their I love salvos comp by making a dress out of I love salvos bumper stickers. It was very impressive but I was sad when someone accidentally threw it away. I had taken it to Oakleigh salvos to be displayed and someone thought it was rubbish. Sigh. Next time I'll put it up myself! Want something done right you need to do it yourself is very true! Anyways I found tons of cool stuff at savers brunswick and got some new books, dresses, a phone wallet and more!

Feb 23rd - White night

Melbourne had its first White Night festival and it was pretty fun. They had all these little events running all over the city and I convinced some of my friends to come along :) we had a great time. We visited the NGV and played with a interactive foam installation, we had drinks at Melbourne central, we got entertained by buskers and laughed a lot! We had lots of fun posing behind the water wall at the NGV (and people laughing at my housemates hilarious poses). I really needed a night out and it was a lot of fun :)

Feb 22nd - Free jewellery? Yes please

Who doesn't love free stuff? I know I do! Well I guess it depends what it is but this time it's jewellery and I'm a girl and girls & jewellery go hand in hand (well most girls anyways). I'm a mystery shopper and it's a pretty fun job you can fit around your other commitments. For those of you who don't know, mystery shopping is where you visit a store posing as a normal customer and then you report back on the service you received. Some businesses only ever want good feedback and if they don't get it? We get in trouble :/ that is not the point of mystery shopping at all.. You need the good with the bad. Whilst the good feedback is great, how can you improve without the negative feedback. Anyways rant over and check out the awesome jewellery I got :) I love the heart locket, even more awesome was that it was the last one :)

Feb 21st - I can see!

Today was pretty exciting for me! Had an optometrist appointment before work and it was to try my new contact lenses! It was pretty funny - it did take me while to get them in but I did manage it eventually and after the slight irritation went away they were pretty awesome! I felt like a new person.
I did manage to take them out first time I tried though.

Everytime I passed a mirror I didn't recognize myself or when I was out I usually adjust my glasses a few times so as force of habit my hand would fly to my face and there was nothing there.
Or like when I was trying on clothing as my current glasses are a bit damaged (the lens keeps popping out - very annoying when I'm in a change room and it falls outside and I am on the ground feeling around for it on the ground :/ ) my glasses used to either catch on the clothing or lens would fall out. No troubles now and I feel more confident too without them. Got many compliments at work and some people didn't even recognize me at first! I won't be wearing them all the time anyways but it indefinitely something I should've done a long time ago!

Feb 20th - Pub trivia and a cider to match

After an awesome maccas brekkie (got to love sausage mcmuffins!), I went and ran some errands and managed to fit in some more op shopping too - this time around Ringwood. I visited the salvos and vinnies and found some fantastic sparkly black heels! Everytime I visit a salvos lately they have had a pair but they were always slightly too small so happy to finally find a pair that fit!

Today at work was a bit of a disaster though! Two people didn't show up for their shift and it's hard enough when one doesn't, let alone when two don't which has never happened in the two years I've been working here. It was very stressful and definitely needed a drink when I got to the pub for trivia! Tried a delicious strawberry and lime cider :) will definitely be getting that again! We didn't do too badly this time - came third. We've been coming either first or second lately so better let someone else win anyways :p

We did however win a free jug in one of the mini games and our team mate won the raffle so we did pretty well!
