I want a provisional licence.

I'm gonna go over to the post office tomorrow (or get mum to do it) and get a form to apply for one. I want to start lessons, and I want to be driving by this time next year.

This means not spending money on things I don't need - chocolate, more knickers than sense... chocolate being the biggie - and putting everything into the bank. All my money into my account, as I won't touch it as often (as proven by when I saved up to go to London to the con).

That way, when I pay for the provisional (unless I beg the parents) I can then save for Christmas shopping (so then I can actually send stuff on time!!) and only spend on rent and paying for lessons, road tax (when I pass), insurance (dad found out on Sheila's Wheels that if I got a group one car - and some other stuff that I wasn't looking at when he did it cause I went to help with dinner - that I'd pay about £600 for insurance... About £60 a month) and petrol... I need to start organising myself for grown up stuff.

However, I did a girly thing and had a shopping spree today. Mark's seen one of his birthday pressies... ;D Got new pjs too (which was like totally needed) and some undies (most of them proper knickers) and a jumper. Got really cheap trousers (one pair for £2) but they didn't fit (even though they're a size above the average size I get!) and I got a pair of shoes (like Converse ones) for £4.99. Fucking comfy too!!! And three tapes for a quid each. Charlie Brown tapes. Me and Jake just watched the Valentine's one and I watched the first ep on the Christmas one (it had Rerun!!!). So yeah, need to stop spending on things like that. :D

And, the boss man in Lloyd's chippie's rang, and I went in to see him, and I'm doing two hours on Wednesday to see if I'd like the work. Ok, so it's in a chippy's (so whoo-hoo greaseiness and spots) but it's with people. PEOPLE!!! I love people. I like having company, and people to talk to. That's why I loved working in Pantri so much, I got to be around people. In Morgans/DAR (I'm sure an apostrophy should be with that Morgans) I'm the only one there, in a shop that, if was seperated properly and I couldn't see the other room, needs two people. I have no idea what the hell I'm supposed to say about the appliances!!! So anyways, getting up from the psuedo-interview (cause he was just trying to get an image of me, both working and family and stuff) and he was like, 'As long as you smile like that all the time you'll do fine.' So I was happy when he said that, cause I generally feel really :| in interviews so I smile way more than I should. And it's not good smiling, it's more, 'OMGWTF am I doing here? Oh shit better smile' kinda smile... It's not a good smile!

So I got home, and mum and dad were happy that I at least am trying for a few hours to see if I'd like the work (and I think they're happy that I'm trying for another job cause I seem to come home pissed off a lot of the days I'm there cause I'm there by myself a lot of the time).

Lookie at what I did!!! It's a load of icons made from one pic. It's a fun challenge, and gets good icons out of ya! So I did Rose. Cause Rose is pretty. :D
