PIRATES!

I so nearly posted this with just the title. Dont press enter unless your mouse is in the box!
We went out to the Ship of Fools last night for a perfectly normal evening in the pub. Oh .... and we were all dressed like pirates! Well we tried to - everyone said i looked more like a gypsy though :( There was also a fairy pirate and a viking. Tradition apparently.
By we i mean Me, Rach, Sam, Rai, Jo D, Evee, Steve, Courtney, James, Little Emma, Ant, Simon and some other people that Steve and Courtney knew.(Im really sorry if i forgot anyone) Some random guy bought Emma and her friend 2 bottles of wine because their clothing amused him so its worth dressing up stupidly if you have no money and want drinks!
Courtney looked like Jack Sparrow hehe.

I know this isnt strictly gap year stuff but i am on my gap year, just not travelling so i figured it was ok.

Its Emma if you cant figure it out x x x

Need more money!

I have discovered that living on NOTHING is absolutely impossible which means that i need another job if i wana go anywhere other than work and home in the next four months. Ahh 4 months!
So Sam and i went job hunting together....and did a little shopping whilst we were at it! I only bought stuff for my travels though - it was very tempting to buy yet another corset since it was only £8 and in a new and exciting colour (bright blue) but i was good! *halo appears*
We gave in CVs at primark (Clare works there so shes putting in a good word) and numerous bars which should be fun. Vue said that they had some vacancies coming up but that we had have to apply online - they obviously havnt updated the website recently though as its telling us that they have no jobs going atm which means we need to check it everyday :S. If anyone wants to know whats on at the cinema im sure i will be able to run of a list of all the films from memory by the end of the week. Blockbusters also said we had to apply online but their form isn't opening. Handing out CV's the good old way seems to be far better than using modern technology!

On a completely different note, Laura, Emily and i decided to have a weekly meeting to do gap year stuff. A great plan but difficult to put into practice since i have singing on wednesdays and its Lauras ONLY free night. A seven day week is clearly not long enough.

Lotsa love
Em x x x

Work

Ruth's showing us up with her gap year blogspot ( http://littlesailorruth.blogspot.com/ ) and Rach keeps complaining that we never post anything so i thought id find something to write about. To be fair though, whilst Ruth is apparently running around blindfolded in Holland and now Thailand, the three of us are stuck working so that we can eat between January and August.
Ok so Emily. She is spending more time in superdrug than she is at home! She FINALLY got a pay rise though of £1 an hour - Go Em!
Laura and I are working for Nick in his finance office in Hayes. Caroline just booked our work Christmas meal thing which she said can double up as our leaving do. Its called a night at the oscars and its a black tie event so i think a shopping trip to Gucci is coming up. Ok so its far more likely to be TK Macks but we'll be getting dressed up all the same.

Quick Question though - does anyone know how to make a link section on this thing?

Anyway, gotta love ya and leave ya coz im off to Kirsty's and then Jo Durstens SECOND 19th Birthday Party. Emma x
