Update..

Where have you been I hear you ask? I know, I've been quite absent these past few weeks but life has been pretty stressful as of late. This will be a super quick post just to let you know that I'm not dead and will be continuing with my blog (hopefully that's good news?)

I've been back at school for about a month now and blimey has the work piled on. All three subjects that I take involve essays and a hell of a lot of learning so obviously that's been taking up an awful lot of my time. I'm starting to get back into the swing of things with balancing school and everything else in my life and I just need to work out how to combine my blog into that. I've also had extra hours added onto my contract at work which means that Thursday evenings are now taken up by that leaving me with less time to do everything else.

Anyway, enough with the excuses and onto just general life stuff.. Last week I got an upgrade of phone and have converted to the iPhone cult. I always said I'd never like an iPhone but when the chance to upgrade came around I was like what the heck, might as well. I went for the 4S in black and I absolutely love it!

Today was mine and my boyfriends 9 month anniversary which is crazy, it feels like just the other day that we started going out! We didn't really do anything much, just chilled at his but still, we got to spend time together so that's all that matters.

I don't really know what else there is for me to chatter on about as my life is pretty boring if I'm honest so I think I'll round it up now. I promise I will be writing a lot more when I've settled into my new routine and if I don't then feel free to leave me comments or tweet me telling me to get my arse in gear! Also, any requests for posts would be greatly appreciated. Please leave them either in the comments or @ reply me on twitter.

A little update for you all..

Apologies for not blogging over the weekend, it's been quite hectic! I worked a 13 hour shift on Saturday & then my boyfriend stayed over that night. Sunday was my dad's birthday and we had the majority of his side of the family over for a bbq - luckily there was good weather! My boyfriend stayed over again Sunday night and then we both had to get up quite early (well, 8:30, but still, it's a bank holiday!) for work this morning so I simply haven't had the time to write, but here I am now & I have quite a lot planned for my blog over the next few weeks/months.

Firstly, I'd like to say a massive thank you to my new followers. I logged onto Blogger earlier this evening when I got home from work and had a bunch of new lovely people following my blog! I can't even begin to tell you how grateful I am!!

Another thank you goes to Lydia at All Of Her Yesterdays. Those of you who follow her blog (if you don't you're mad, get on over there!) may well know that she was holding a giveaway. Well, on Saturday I went up for my lunch break at work and had a message on Twitter telling me that I had won! I'm so excited to receive my package from her and will definitely write a blog post on it when I get it. Thank you again Lydia!

Speaking of followers and giveaways, I think that when I reach some form of milestone follower number I may hold one. It probably won't be huge but still, anything's something right? I don't know how many followers I will wait for but it'll probably be about 100, 150, something like that. If you have any ideas for prizes or anything please leave them below.

I also have quite a few posts planned for the next few weeks, but as per usual any requests are welcome, obviously I won't do all of them as sometimes things just aren't practical or to my liking, but I will try to do any posts that are suggested. If you do have any ideas either write them in the comments below, email me at petticoatscontact@yahoo.co.uk or tweet me @aimeemoncur

So that's all really. Thank you all again for the support that I've had and I hope you continue to enjoy my blog :)

Sorry, sorry, sorry!

Humongous apologies for the lack of posts, I've been busy/stressed/ill/emotional/moody/anything bad you can think of the past week or so. Things are looking much better now though so hopefully after this weekend I will get back into posting regularly again!

I still have that haul to post which I hope to get up in the next week, I just need to find the time to snap some photoimages and then will pop it up for you.

Anyways, I'll be back next week with some new posts and in the meantime I hope that you all have a fantabulous weekend, if you have any plans, no matter how wonderful or how mundane, post them in the comments below, I'd love to know what you are all up to! As for me, I'm spending the weekend with Elliot as neither of us are working so plan to have a nice relaxed weekend at my house.

Apologies, weddings & celebrations

Yeah it's only been like five days but still, I hate it when I follow a blog and they don't update for a while, therefore don't think I should do the same.

Honestly, I don't really have a reason why I haven't posted, I suppose it's just cos I've gone back to school for the last few weeks so I've had to get used to these early mornings/late evenings - seriously, it's crazy how hard it is to get a bus at 7:40 every morning and not get home until 4:50 that evening! Also I worked last Thursday evening and have just generally been procrastinating.

I figured that I might as well use this post as a little update as otherwise it'll be a super short post.

So, as I've already mentioned I've gone back to school. It's only for a few weeks until the summer starts but honestly it's so pointless. We are doing preparation work for A2s, in other words, practically nothing. They've started us on UCAS stuff, but I don't think I'm going to go to uni, therefore it's pretty pointless for me.

I had another driving lesson this week and it went fantastically! I did stall a few times but that's cos it was quite overwhelming going through town for the first time at the end of the day when there's about 1000million tourists and school children and just people in general walking out in the roads in front of you! Also, I never realised before but town is almost all one-way roads and there are traffic lights on almost every road.

If you were to take a peek into my little brain a few weeks ago then you would have seen a lot of paranoia/worry/stress. I try not to be a jealous person but sometimes things just play on my mind and I can't stop. I've felt as though I've been the one making all the effort in mine & Elliot's relationship but I've realised this past week that it's not true. I know that he loves me and he's shown me that I have nothing to worry about. I do have a little more work to do in order to get my head sorted but things are definitely better. The way I see it though is that if a relationship has absolutely no jealousy or anything then I don't think you feel that strongly for someone. Obviously, yes, you need to be able to trust someone, but if something happened and you just weren't bothered at all you really have to think, why doesn't this bother you?

Anyway, I have next Saturday off work as it's my brother's wedding. He's been with his fiancé since August 1997, so almost 15 years! It's crazy because obviously having been born in 1995 I have always known them as a couple really as before they got together I was too young to really remember anything. They only got engaged this February and I'm so excited for them to get married as it'll mean that Julia will officially be a part of the family - she always has been, but now it'll be proper.

Saturday is also mine and Elliot's 6 month anniversary. Unfortunately he wasn't able to get the time off work otherwise he would have come to the wedding, so seeing him Sunday will have to suffice. I can't believe that it's been 6 months already, it really has flown by. I can still remember exactly what we did that day 6 months and the way our relationship has progressed in this time is amazing. We've gone from not even knowing each other at the beginning of December to now, end of June about to celebrate 6 months together. I don't know what we'll do on Sunday but whatever it is will be brilliant. I don't like just sitting around doing nothing but if I'm with him I could do it for days. Oh that sounds soppy and cheesy but it's true, I even put up with football with him (although I do have a tendency to fall asleep...)

So yeah, that's all I can think of. Sorry for the lack of posts but as soon as I get back into a routine I'll get posting again! I might to a haul if you'd like one?
