I've been bombarded with news recently, some good, some bad, and i've just been trying to get to grips with it all. I'll try and fill you all in.

I've found a new flat. It's still in the same town i'm living in just now, but it's a much newer flat, one bedroom and absolutely perfect. Although I now have coincidentally ended up staying four doors away from my grandparents (suggesting I must be on my best behaviour perhaps?). I get the keys tomorrow and I move in on Monday. I am so excited to begin decorating and making it a 'home' other than this shit tip I am currently living in. I'm gonna be rocking a lava lamp for sure.

Also, I got my exam results in the other week. I didn't get the grades to meet my conditional offer therefore I didn't get into any Glasgow Universities I applied for. Because this year there were hardly any clearing spaces, they've offered me this bridging course. It means that I can start undergraduate Psychology in February pending good grades in this bridging scheme. It's one semester, 2 modules and if I do well I can go on to doing what i've always wanted to do. The only problem is that I have to pay for it, and recently I am really struggling financially. Also, travel to Stirling uni is a bitch, so i've no idea what i'm going to do.

My little kitten Lily got neutered the other week. It total broke my heart having to leave her alone all morning but once I got her back she was right as rain.

And yeah, i've got short hair at the moment. All my extensions have been taken out. I HATE IT. But it wont last for long (like all my other hair styles). My dad is getting married on September 3rd and I am bridesmaid/best man so I promised him i would have long blonde hair for the wedding and no bright colours. Now there is the fun task of aquiring 200 bones for the end of the month to get new extensions, when i've been so skint lately. Saying that, I feel so insecure with my shoulder length hair so it is always worth the pennies.

My boyfriend Jan started his new job on Monday, so I tried to soak up all the time I had with him before then because we've been lazy fuckers for the past month or so. As we've both been skint we've mainly stayed in getting high and having lots of sex. But soon we'll be better off financially and we can afford to go out and do more things together as a couple again. He is a carer for annorexic patients at his new job. 12 hour shifts are gonna be hefty, but it'll be really rewarding.

I got to meet all his family for the first time the other week. They're all so nice and I think they liked me. It was his little sister Keisha's 18th so there was a suprise birthday party for her. There was even kareoke!! We ended up in some shitty neddy nightclub, then Jan felt sick so we called it a night. But everyone had a nice time and it was good to meet everyone.

We went to Lee Nelson's Well Good Edinbra show last Friday at the fringe festival in Edinburgh. He total slagged off my bright hair. It was hilarious!! On Saturday, my dad took Jan out to teach him how to fly RC planes up at the flying club, and that evening it was my step mums hen night.

I had pictures of Lily's baldy neutered patch, pictures of Jan and Keisha, pictures of Lee Nelson, pictures of my sex bruises, pictures at the flying club etc etc. But my sister went and broke my camera. I am heartbroken. There is nothing more gutting than loosing photographs. So I do apologise at the boring picture-less blog.

So that's what i've been upto recently. Also, I'm currently obsessed with roasted asparagus, sonic on the sega mega drive, and admiring vintage pin up clothing I cannot afford. September poses new beginnings for myself.. wish me luck.

Love you all, SG friends
