B for beads!

I realise i have already done B for a photo a day but i couldn't resist including this.

I am pretty proud of this latest craft project. String still to be attached but it should be a decorative item which could go on the christmas tree or wedding table decorations or just simply something nice to have round the house.
I have hand stiched all the beads on myself with a few hurt fingers and a few hundred beads later it is complete!
What do you think?

Lots of love xxx

To make things interesting :)

Hello over there :)

I started a job about a month ago in a spa. I am a spa assistant which is a glorified term for 'cleaner' and 'person customers complain to'. Its not a great job. I get very hot and people arent very nice but I like the staff and feel safe in the knowledge that im doing my job well. Anyway it can get a bit boring so to pull myself through I thought I should try to find the funny side of it all!

The lists.

I have devised two lists so far. Here they are. I hope you can see the funny side too and read in a sarcastic tone!

(Marvin from hitch hikers guide to the galaxy. Grumpiest robot ever...we must be related!)


Odd things people have said to me:

• You sweat because you're fat (Im size 14)
• Why can't i have my chest out? So all these women are shy here but oh no, when they go to a gynaecological doctor they get it all out! 
• You haven't heard of Kirk Franklin because you're white...
• Your not christian and you don't go to church? *rolls eyes*
• Whats the time?...(I was standing next to a giant clock)
• Oh, you only want to do massage?
• I thought this was normal coffee? (Big label saying decafe..gah)
• Is this bottled water? (Big containers of water...no i do not fill them with bloody evian.)
• This drainage tea - what does it drain?
• Your names frosty?
• If you go out with me you can count my money each night before you go to sleep. 
• I'm looking for a 39 year old widow with a big bottom and narcissistic, what do you think my chances are? 

Things i've found so far:

• A bead
• Apple cores
• Nectarine cores
• Peanut shells
• A hair net
• Bikini
• Womens chain necklace
• A clump of hair
• Small clumps of hair
• Hair mayonaise...
• Body creams
• water bottles
• mouldy strawberries in fridge
• Tub of sweat and sour sauce in the steam room
• A flannel over a light in the steam room
• Cotton wool in the flannel bucket
• Half a crisp
• A drawing pin 

I hope you've enjoyed this!

One Life

Ok, so i've been rubbed up the wrong way and it has inspired me to shout out to those of you who want to improve your lives. Be happy!
As the title of the blog says (which is debatable), there is only one life on earth. Some people feel they need to stick one thing, job, hobby or lifestyle out. Thats not true.
There are so many more opportunities out there now that weren't there before. I have a degree in photography as well as a Btec. I have decided to let that go for now but I have something to fall back on. Instead I am currently studying to become a massage therapist. This is something I have wanted to do for ages. Yes money is tight and I've got to work a rubbish job for a while but I will be happy in my life because ive given myself the opportunity.
Take that risk to improve your life. Don't let others ware you down. It takes a strong person to make that leap.

Here are some links to help you start your mission!

I hope this helps inspire you other there. 

It could be a job change or facing up to a diet and exercise plan. Work out what it is which will make you happy and go for it! 

Theres always a way.
