Christmas holidays, family time and crazy nights out!

So it's been quite a while since my last post but it's been a crazy couple of weeks. It's the Christmas holidays which is the busiest time in work, the shop has been totally mobbed and it's constant chaos. I don't want to spend to long on this post, so il just update the main things that has happened since my last post.

In work I got given a Christmas present from the company which was a £100 gift voucher for the shop which I can use for myself or give to someone else. However, since I get a 50% discount on clothes, I really get £200 worth of uniform.. Which is great since I badly need new uniform. But all I've bought so far is a mans shirt because the women's shirts are hideous. I'm waiting til I go to town to spend my vouchers in the Glasgow store as they have much better things than our shop.

Last Friday I had a last minute night out with Hannah and we went to Kushion. Since it was Friday we went for a more casual look: I wore a white crop top, a black bodycon skirt and black frilly socks with my black and white Nike blazers. So cute. It ended up being a crazy night, we were out by 12am and crazy drunk by 1am. We bumped into some friends we haven't seen in ages and I ended up going back to one of their houses to stay. It was a good night. 

Then it was Christmas. Myself and Keenan went to stay with my sister Laura on Christmas Eve, and we had a Chinese for dinner and played my new Family Guy monopoly. Christmas Day was a great day. I went to my Aunts for dinner and was totally fattened up, she is a great cook. I had salmon moose and smoked salmon on bread rolls for starter, lentil soup, turkey and stuffing for main. I didn't have a pudding as it was trifle. But I did have plenty of chocolates and then a while later we had smoked salmon and cream cheese.. AMAZING!!! I got amazing presents this year including; a gold Micheal Kors watch( I've wanted one for so long and it is stunning!), gorgeous black lace AgentProvocateur underwear, a new handbag, Marc Jacobs perfume ( which I recently found out was only a limited summer edition and is no longer being sold- I could cry as it's become my favourite), jewellery, Sex and the City box set, Downton Abbey box set, new books, makeup, money, a onsie, Finlandia vodka, body butter, a cute travel cup that says one thirsty bitch on it, Family Guy monopoly, Bruno Mars' album, One Tree Hill box set, chocolates and that's about all I can remember! 

I went out again with Hannah on Friday night and had another casual night in Kushion, I wore a black cutout top, black shorts and my black Nike blazers. However we weren't out for long as Hannah was feeling ill so I ended up going to visit Kalvin again and ended up staying the night with him. 

Then last night was the night that MK was playing at the arches and it was AMAZING!!! Without a doubt one of the best nights out I've had in a long time. The place was absolutely packed but it was still so good. His set was absolutely amazing, especially when he played 'jungle', 'look right through', and 'summertime sadness'. The whole place went absolutely wild! I even got to meet him before his set as he was just casually walking about the Arches with two vodka's in hand. So of course I spotted him, ran over and asked for a picture: it definitely made my night! I wore a black crop top, tartan cropped leggings, black frilly socks, my black Nike blazers and a grey zipper tied round my waist. Definitely suffering for it tonight though. 

Anyway that's about everything important that's happened since my last post. Il blog again soon.

Don't worry, I'm still here!

So its been four days since my last post and i can honestly say that its not because i've forgotten to post an update, but because i've genuinely been too busy with work, college and that thing called a social life. I'll talk you through my last four days so we're all updated..

Monday; had to go to college in order to get the notes that i needed for an assessment i was sitting on tuesday (that i literally had no time to revise for; my own fault i guess).. Then i barely had any time between getting in from work and eating my dinner before i had to go back out again to work. I was working until 11pm as Silverburn is now open later due to it being almost christmas (although i still don't get why customers need the shops to be open until 11pm when they open at nine in the morning!). Every day this month we've had different 'advent' incentives for the staffs. Monday nights was a prize for which ever member of staff managed to sell 11 hoodys within their shift and i'm happy to say I WON!! ( i never win anything in work), the prize ended up being a free t-shirt worth £25 which was good as i need new uniform. Anyway by the time i got in from work i was far too tired and went straight to sleep.

Tuesday i had an assessment in college that was really quite hard and it was closed book meaning i had to rack my brain to remember all the information. However after that we where finished college for the christmas holidays so me and most of the class went over to the union for a few drinks before we went to the christmas party thrown by the lecturers; we got sweets, chrisps, and wine and had a quiz (unfortunately my class came second.. boo). After that we we're having a college class night out so everyone went home to get showered and all their things together etc before the boys meet up at Keiran's and the girls met up at Shannon's for pre-drinks and to get ready. We all then went to the party flat that we had booked for the night before heading out to Subclub. It was my first time in Subclub since i had went for the unders and it ended up being a really good night, i had a great time and will definitely be going again. Well all then went back to the party flat to continue on the party (or crash out in Nikki's case) although me and Gemma did stay in the club longer than everyone else.

Wednesday was mostly spent in bed being being mingingly hungover, which i guess has to be a sign of a really good night before i had to go to work for a 5-10pm.. safe to say i did not enjoy that shift at all and could not wait for it to be over... As soon as i got in the house i crashed out and slept straight through until this morning.

Today i've had a mostly lazy day spent watching tv and films with my brother whilst stuffing our faces with chocolate and crisps. (these are the kind of days i live for; totally lazy ones where i remain in pj's all day). I then finished up a report i had to write for one of my college classes for last block that i had forgotten to fix.. I'm hoping its enough for a straight pass. (fingers crossed for me, yeah?). 

So now that we're pretty much all caught up i'm off to see if i can figure out why my Wii won't connect to the internet anymore (we got a new internet thingy installed yesterday including this cool new bt tv thing thats sort of like sky plus where you can pause, fast forward rewind tv etc, watch shows from last week, get movies on demand and record all sorts of shows etc). Although i tend to repel technology so i'll probably just break it! haha.

Blog to you soon,

Why am I not mega rich?!

So it's safe to say I've had a pretty boring weekend! I couldn't go out Friday or Saturday night because I was working 9til6 on Saturday and 9til5 on Sunday and Superdry is definitely not the sort of place you want to spend 8/9 hours hungover.. (Last time I did that I spent my lunch break being sick in the staff toilets). 

Other than work and walking Alfie I've spent my weekend watching films and tv shows online. That's how exciting my life is right now.. All that guess me through my horibbly long shifts is thinking of that money at pay day (and the shoes I can buy with it!) I was supposed spend part of my weekend writing my personal statement for my Ucas applications, but I genuinely forgot until about 5minutes ago. My lecturer is not going to be happy (whoops). But all this working is exhausting and the last thing I want to think about doing is stupid personal statements.. Whatever, I've got plenty of time to get it done.

Tomorrow I've got college, I need to catch up on the notes I missed last week when I was off sick.. I've got an assessment for that class on Tuesday and I genuinely don't know what it's even on.. I clearly don't pay enough attention haha! Then I'm working until 11 since the shops are now opened later for Xmas.. But to be honest I think that people as a whole aught to be more organised if this is how late they are leaving their Christmas shopping.

I realise I'm just rambling now. So I'm off to bed, I'm shattered and up early for college!

Life always getting in the way...

So its been a busy couple of days, what with work and college and other normal life stuff. So i haven't been able to write a new post on this... But i swear i haven't forgotten about this blog, i am totally serious when i say that i really want to keep up with this blog and write new posts regularly. 

And i am definitely going to.

Anywaaaaaaaay, since I last posted i've took Alfie on loads of walks, I just bought him an extra long lead so he has more room to roam without doing his usual and running off when i let him off the lead. I had a boring, seemingly endless shift in work and found out that i couldn't get the weekend off that i wanted so i could go with my friend Hannah down to Newcastle to visit some friends and to go out; Newcastle is such a good night out!!!! Apparently the weekend i want off work is still classed as the 'Christmas period', which it totally is not since its in JANUARY, waaaaaay after christmas! So now i can't get a weekend off until the end of January, safe to say i am beyond pissed off. Genuinely feel like just quitting every single day, i am so fed up with the place and having to work constantly, every single weekend.... Sorry that I actually have a life!. As well as that, the day after i'm going to the Rebel Rave gig in the Arches to see MK i've been put in to work a 10-7.. safe to say i will be in absolutely no fit state to work considering that its on until 4am! So work is really doing my head in right now.

I was at college today, that was pretty boring as well. I've only got two days left now until the Christmas holidays so i got all the notes that i'll be needing for an assessment i'm sitting when i get back. I also got told that i've to have written one blog post for the blog i need to write to pass that class.. I'm thinking that my blog will be on restaurants in Glasgow, and i'll just pick a restaurant, eat there and then blog about the experience, food, price, staff etc.. I also need to apply to Ucas, i've completed every thing except for the Personal Statement. i hate writing them as i never know what to say. But i need to hurry up and get it done so my lecturer can add a reference for me.

I'm so annoyed because i've been put into work tomorrow 9-6 and Sunday 9-5 which means i won't get to go out this weekend as i'll either be far too tired, or hungover to work. And Superdry is NOT the place you want to spend 8/9hours hungover! And to make it worse i was in all weekend last weekend and i'll probably be in all next weekend too! So shit! But i guess i will at least have MK to look forward to and i genuinely can't wait.. I saw him do a set in Eden in Ibiza during the summer and it was an amazing night.. so sick! I'm in love with his White Noise, Summer Time Sadness, and Look Right Through Remix's. Its gonna be an amazing night and loads of my friends are going which will make it even better.

Anyway, i've wrote enough rubbish for tonight.. I'm off to watch Legally Blonde and stuff my face with Chocolate, Chocolate and more Chocolate.  

Night All

Productive & Organised.. who knew?!

It's day three of my blogging attempt part two and so far i think i'm doing pretty well.. to be fair i've not had much going on the past few days so i've had plenty of time to write, but I actually want to regularly update this blog; I quite like it now!

Anyway, today i was supposed to be at college for most of the day but I woke up feeling rather ill and decided it was best if i just stayed off, rather than going out into the freezing cold, miserable. So to cheer myself up i watched Grease and Grease2; two of my favourite all time musicals ever. Whilst happily munching my way through a tube of Pink Smarties.  After that i started to feel better &got rather bored..(guess i should have gone to college).. but it ended up being a rather productive day; i tidied up my room, did my washing, sorted out my cupboard and even wrapped the rest of my Christmas presents. Totally productive day off!

Speaking of Christmas; because i have such a large family, Christmas can be quite a stressful time of year with so many different people to buy gifts for, both the choice and amount of money i have to spend is annoying. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut, this year i have totally shocked myself, by Monday night I had bought most of the gifts i need for everyone and as of a few hours ago they are all wrapped and ready to be handed out. All that's left is a few things that i've bought online and am still waiting for to be delivered and then little things like chocolates etc.. 

Organised or what?!?! 

I am now happily blogging away whilst watching season one of Friends, the one with George Stephanopoulus. This is something i do often, start working my way through the whole box set and then start all over again. As i do with Tv shows, i get a bit addicted and will watch a show obsessively.. As of last night i've started watching Cougar Town, i won't lie though, seeing Monica in something else is rather strange, but so far i'm quite enjoying it... 

Tomorrow I have the day off college and then i'm working tomorrow night.. No plans for during the day though except walking Alfie, hopefully the rest of my gifts come and i can get them all wrapped up.

Now however i'm off for a nice relaxing bath and then i'm putting on a face mask because recently; after going to bed with make up on, i've broken out in spots. (not a lot, i dont actually get spotty but enough that i want rid of). Time for some much needed pampering..

xoxo

Back to the beginning...

Okay, so its almost two years on since I started this blogs.. safe to say some things have definitely changed.

So i'm going to use this post to let you know a few main things about me, if you know stuff about me you'll want to read more, right?

So lets start with the basics.....

My names Tanya.. Obviously. I've recently turned 20, an age which i am definitely not happy about (sorry but where the hell have my teenage years went?) so i'm refusing to acknowledge it and saying i'm 19part2 (no i am not in denial). I live in Glasgow, which is in Scotland for any foreign readers out there (yes i am optimistic about my readers). I'm currently a poor student in my second year studying Marketing at college, and i can actually admit that i rather enjoy it. I also work part time in Superdry, that part i definitely do not enjoy buuuuuuuuuuut it does fund my nights out and shopping addiction (hi i'm tanya and i'm a shopaholic). I've got a massive family with 3brothers and two sisters, i only live with my dad and one brother though. And i have a gorgeous 1 year old border collie named Alfie, safe to say he is definitely the love of my life♥.

My baby, Alfie♥

I live to shop, its definitely my favourite hobby and nothing cheers me up more than buying something new for myself (except maybe other people buying new things for me). Shoes are my obsession and without fail each month i'll buy myself at least one pair, whether they be trainers or high heels or cute little pumps. 

Nandos.

Eating is one of my favourite things to do, i love chicken (especially Nandos), chocolate &cake! 

Just like Draco &Blaise♥

Pocahontas, fave film ever♥

I am obsessed with Friends ( i have the entire boxset and i can quote it), movies set in the 80s, any film with Ryan Gosling and Johnny Depp in it (could they be any more perfect?) Finding Nemo & Pocahontas(which also happens to be my childhood nickname), and the entire Harry Potter collection (i've read every book a million times, got all the films and i've even been to the studio tour in london.. by the way i'm a total Slytherin). 

Love this show

Me.

I absolutely LOVE reading, i have a million books in my room and even more on my Kindle (best gift ever). I hardly ever watch tv, except for monday night MadeInChelsea.. i watch everything online. My latest tv show obsession is Modern Family, the show is beyond hysterical especially Cameron and Lily. and i have a new love for House Music, there's nothing better than when the beat drops..

That pretty much sums me up for now, the rest can be found out in future blog posts... time to go eat!

xoxo

Going mobile....

So as part of my blogging attempt part 2 I've downloaded the blogging app for my iPhone. This means I can blog wherever I am, (I never have my phone out of my sight!) and Hopefully this will also mean that il remember to blog more.

Soon all my crazy thoughts, opinions and daily life actions will be out there for the world to see.. Or anyone who happens to stumble across this blog! I think I'm probably being really optimistic in thinking that people will actually read this other than myself but whatever I just want to see if I can actually make this work second time around.. Reading through my old blog posts actually made me cringe a bit.. Especially the horrible pictures (what was I thinking with that hairstyle? Middle sheds totally do not suit me). I was actually thinking that maybe I should just delete all the old posts and start fresh but I decided I'd rather just keep them there.. Sort of likea memento  of my first blogging attempt.. Now I'm two years older, wiser, more mature? Lets see how this attempt goes.

I'm rambling now... Blog soon!

Its been almost two years...

Hi, remember me?

I'm Tanya... the blogging fail.

I started this blog almost two years ago thinking I would use it all the time. I thought i'd blog so much i'd become a pro.. It seemed like a great idea at the time, somewhere to write about what was going on in my life, what I was up to, things that interest me etc.. What a fail! I was so bad at blogging, i constantly forgot to update; as if my life is even that busy. For almost two years I forgot I even had this blog, just another thing i'd started and then forgot about.

However recently in college, one of our classes assignment's is to create a blog, one on something that we are passionate about, or an interest or hobby.. as far as that goes, I have no idea what i'm going to write. Buuuuuuuuuut, it did remind me of this blog. I suddenly remembered that i already have one (not that i'm planning on using this one, just the same as when i first made it this one will stay something only i know about.. it will be public but i'm not about to tell everyone i know that i have it) and that i haven't wrote in it since not long after i first made it. 

Sooooo, i've decided to try again at the whole blogging thing and see if maybe this time around, two years on ... i'll be better at it. I doubt any one will read my posts or even care about anything that i'm saying but i still want to do it. Even if its just for me to write down some of my thoughts, get something out there. 

So here it goes, blogging attempt part 2...
