embrace the sun

the past few days have been gray and rainy. today - the sun is out, and i must admit it is making me feel a bit better. i have one payment to make and then my bank account will be on zilch. just wondering how i will cope without my own money. sure, MrL will help me out but i don't want to be dependent of him. i've given in my application form to the pub (has no vacancies though...) and i've signed up to cafe nero (the only coffee shop here). still no work from my agency, to be honest i can't apply with any other agency because i don't have money for all the charges (crb etc) that they ask you to do. i will just have to wait out until i do get some work and just save save save. mind you, i'm so used to not spending money it's unreal. it has been at least 4 months i haven't bought anything for myself (oh, apart from the bb cream that i need to pick up from the post office). what a life.

i've had plenty of car lessons too, which i haven't been updating here as there's not that much to say, apart from  - i'm doing ok. it's not fantastic, but it's been going alright. i'm not super confident. last lesson i tried to really focus and think about everything i was doing (as MrL stated: i need to think for myself more) so i did. and becky (my instructor) really thought there was something wrong, i wasn't as talkative, chirpy or distracted (i guess)..i was focused and trying to do things myself without being told "you can go into fourth gear".

i made sunday dinner for the whole family (six people in total) consisting of beef topside, roasties, lots of veg and cheesecake with cream/icecream for dessert. was delicious. didn't take any pics as i was so busy and MrL really wan't helping. in fact, we had a bit of a tiff. why am i the one who always has to tidy the house and make it presentable? so i left him to clean the living room (after having cleaned the bathrooms, kitchen and hallway) and what did he do....? he cleaned up a few papers and went to the garage to 'fix it up'. and when the fam arrived, he stayed there. ugh, he really got under my skin. not giving in though, i don't see why i should do everything around the house.

hope your weekend has been a pleasant one!
