Funny Friday

So yesterdee started off with a trip to the tanning saloon, where I might have gotten a tiny bit sunburnt in me face. After exposing our bodies for dangerous UV, we walked by the Mander Center, where we bought umbrellas. You know the cute, see-though ones who fold down over you, that kind. Having new, fancy umbrellas I was kinda hoping for rain when we walked into town again, this a few hours later, to meet Towers in town. And rain we sure got! Loads, way too much. That’s what you get for wishing for rain. I mean, the back of our jeans were soaking wet.

We met Towers in Hogs, before following him home to his flat. (Not the creepy, sneaking around corners following, we were suppose to). Then the three of us went to IKEA, Towers being ever so kind driving us there and lifting the heavy stuff. Started the shopping spree with dinner at the IKEA restaurant. Swedish meatballs with brown sauce and potatoes, soooo good. Walking around the store for ages, we ended up with drawers, telly table and a DVD shelf for the house. Not bad.

Being back home me and Ida were playing Bob the builder, doing a fantastic job with Ida’s drawer. Tho we did manage to make an itsy bitsy mistake, but nothing drunk visitors couldn’t fix. After doing that for at least a few hours, we got all glamed up and ready for a night out, that started with shots of Tyrker. That should tell you we were in for a wild night.

A girl can never get enough

Hello from Wolverhampton

First of all, just want to thank you all on your wishes for me to have a nice trip over to my second home, and I can gladly assure you that the trip went well. No luggage lost, no getting too late and no crashing neither bus nor plane. So yeah, nice trip, tho long. We started off early yesterday morning, 7 am to be exact and weren’t in Wolverhampton before slightly past 8 pm. The first thing we did, after dragging our suitcases up those narrow stairs in our cute, little house, was to head off to ASDA and get some food. Oh how I have missed my ASDA <3 After eating, we quickly went to bed, seeing as we were both pretty exhausted.

Today we got up quite early, went into town, first stop Zaks. I got myself an appointment like right away, leaving Ida walking around town alone for well a few hours poor thing, while I was getting all pretty on my head. Then it was time for New Look, our favorite place to be. Didn’t end up with awfully lot tho, kind of a surprise I know. But fear not, I did buy not one, but two pair of shoes.

Yes, I will be able to walk in them!!

Yes, I will be able to walk in them!!

Ida got the same ones only in black

Met up with Lizy after chatting to this Sky bloke Gavin, about getting a sky box, which we ordered, then we went for food. Me, Lizy and Ida that is, Gavin didn’t join us, tho I wouldn’t have minded if he did haha. Went home after that to get ready for the concert, watched a bit of Friends then me and Lizy headed off to the Civic just in time for the doors to open. Getting there at 7 pm, doors opening at 7 pm, you would think we would end up in the back. Nah, not me and Lizy, second row baby! And even better, when Lostprophets got on, I somehow got front row. Liking it. Was a great gig indeed.

Now me and Ida are gonna get to bed, Lizy sleeping in my room. Birmingham for pies and shopping tomorrow, can’t wait.

Love from England, dodgy internet means not that much blogging atm, will be fixed!

Off we go!

T i r e d

Why is it that I can’t wait to get packing weeks before I have to, then when the time comes and I really do have to, I find myself too lazy to bother? Which is kinda weird, considering just how excited I am about going back to my lovely Wolverhampton. At the moment I am sat yawning, haven’t really slept much at all in such a long time, so tomorrow I am gonna try and force myself to a proper lay-in, knowing I probably will wake up around 8 – 9 am. It is the cause of working 12 weeks this summer that has ruined my sleep routine. Before I was pretty good at this sleep thing, when not having to get up early could easily sleep ’till 11 am. Now I am lucky if I make it to 9.

Went out last night, partying in the park with my awesome mates. That was the last shalabang before me and my housemate take off into the big, wide world outside the walls of Norway. It’s kind of impressive how drunk I can get from so little. Because drunk – that I was!

I should try and become slightly more representable now, seeing as we are going to Monica and Erlend, to celebrate his birthday. I look like a crack-whore who has just woken up in the gutter. Not my best look.

So long!

Friends and work and such

Thursday night IdaPidaIda and meself drove out to Levanger to visit my sister Monica and her boyfriend Erlend. You know, for a last little get together before me and IdaPida head back to Wolves on Tuesday. I even brought Erlend a birthday pressie, seeing as it is his birthday TODAY(!), and I had no idea that the family are gonna go see them tomorrow to celebrate. My parents don’t tell me shit. So for me it turned out it wouldn’t be the last time I saw them before I leave afterall, but for Ida this was the case. Had a proper nice time with pizzas and candy (once again too bloody much), while watching a rather amusing film called My Best Friend’s Girl. I found it funny at least, laughing pretty much throughout the film. I blame the sugar for my awfully happiness, tho being happy is a good thing ain’t it. Then Monica had a picture show for us, showing us photos from her and Camilla’s trip to Rhodes. Seemed like a nice little holiday there, but it was no Egypt.. Haha.

Yesterdee was my last day at work, so we had a proper nice lunch with muffins that Christine made, apple cake of my creation and sandwiches that our boss had paid for. I am not sure I have fully realized I’m not going back there in quite some time, that I don’t have to get up early Monday morning and put on my ugly, blue work clothes. As of now, it feels like weekend. And just that. But reality is I’m unemployed. 12 weeks of my summer, that place have pretty much been my summer. Weird. But glad to be done, and to go back being a student.

Now when I have posted this blog entry, I’m gonna start packing. Well I did start last Saturday, but nothing since that. So yes, it’s time to get a bit organized, my room looks like a disaster, so tidying is well needed and should come hand in hand with the packing. Music on loud and not too shabby weather outside my window should make this fun. Yes, I’m gonna enjoy this!

So my gorgeous readers

How about doing me a itsy bitsy favor?
I’m one of the finalists in a photo contest on Marit’s blog, and I would be awfully happy if you were to check it out and vote for my picture, which is picture number 4. Obviously, this only if you think my picture deserves to win. I want to play it fair.

Thanks!

I am ready…

… for my last day at work!

But before then I just had to show you all my new headwear that the lovely, stunningly beautiful Ida made for me. It was kinda hard taking a picture of me wearing it just on the go here, this was the best I could do right now. She’s a talented little strikker that Ida^^

Meatball heaven

One of the things me and Ida have talked about doing once we’re back in Wolves is to go to Sweden-land aka IKEA. I could just go there to hang out I swear, find it awfully nice just walking around there, looking at everything they’ve got. Maybe eating dinner at the lovely restaurant, Swedish meatballs – YUM! If I don’t buy anything else, I am 100% buying that. But yeah, there are a few things I need.. Well want.

I do need somewhere to store my clothes...

And somewhere for my shoes..

And somewhere for my shoes as well..

We’ll see what we’ll end up with. Before then we even have to find  someone with a car. Aww, I haven’t even really been to Sweden this summer, feels like something’s missing. Ikea is truly needed.
