i am sick. i have a very dry cough, its my day off and i should be shopping with my friend but instead i am lying about feeling sorry for myself!

i am having a great week.
finished nadine's tattoo (i will have to wait till it heals to get a decent photo i'm afraid), i really enjoyed doing it and she is super sweet
bought a cheaper digital camera specially for you guys so i can take it all over the place and not have to worry too much about losing it (like i did the last one!!)
i had a flash of inspiration for my new set of tatto flash! and i am very excited about it.
should be going out at the weekend but i'm not quite sure where yet. its my mates birthday so it should be a good one.
i'm off to do more colouring
