Oh hello. I thought I would give an update on my week.
On Monday, I met up with Emma after work, as a) I hadn’t seen her in ages and b) we wanted to do something to post-celebrate my birthday. Because I don’t finish work till 8 and I usually miss dinner as a result, I suggested going for a meal and then a drink or too, so we went to Wagamamas. I’d been craving ramen for a while and Emma had never been so it was a win-win situation. Plus! They do gyoza and coconut ice cream that is so amazing that it pales all others in comparison. D: Whilst we were waiting for the food to arrive, Emma gave me my presents! 
She bought me some beautiful earrings (as seen to the left.. except you can see more of the box/posts rather than the actual earrings but you get the picture hopefully D:) and also some Harajuku Lovers ‘Baby’ perfume, which I tried when I got home that evening and it smells gorgeous. I’m looking forward to my usual perfume, “Absinthe” to run out so I can start using this one regularly, haha. We then wait to Henry’s for a Tokyo Iced Tea, and the gorgeous barman was there again. UGHHHH. He’s so beautiful it makes my heart sing. We didn’t get served by him, but that’s probably for the best. Emma and I have concluded that theres probably a point in life where if I did get served by him again, ordering a drink wouldn’t be enough. I would simply have to touch his face.
In my last entry, I mentioned that my tickets for Pure Reason Revolution hadn’t arrived yet. They did finally arrive, 4 days before the gig. Considered I ordered them over 2 weeks before they arrived, I think that’s a pretty terrible service. I’m going to avoid TicketWeb in future, I think. So, although my tickets arrived.. I didn’t get to go anyway! I’ve pinched a nerve just under my shoulder blade, and at that point nothing I took could help with the pain. As it happens, I’m glad I didn’t go, because they started their set late, and I would have missed over half of it to get the train back. :/ My back is slowly getting better now, or at least more comfortable after finding the winning combination of pain killers, but I know it takes a while to recover.
At work on friday, I had to close up the pharmacy, and before I can leave, I have to get the duty manager to sign for the controlled drugs safe key, and to set the alarm for the counter. Usually I get them to come to me by calling them on their line, but every time I’ve tried of late, it’s been engaged and I haven’t been able to find them. This happened to me on Monday as well, but luckily I was able to find the duty manager on the shop floor, but it still made me late to meet Emma. I wasn’t so lucky on Friday, and despite asking several people what to do, they just kept sending me back to wait, and to keep on calling. It was only 45 minutes after I was due to leave, somebody told me the duty manager’s line has been down since Monday(!) and that’s why I’m not able to get through. After getting a message through on the tannoy, it was almost an hour later before I left, and I think that’s really unfair on me, that I was just fobbed off leaving me to stand there, well after my shift had finished. I’m going to talk to my boss about this next week and see if I can get paid for this hour, because it’s just not right. 10 or 15 minutes is fine… but an hour. :/
There probably will be no updates next week as I am working every day but Sunday. D: But I have 5 days off after that, happy days! So expect lots of spam then.

Because I finished at 6 that night, and wanted to get showered and dressed up for my birthday, my dad had made reservations to go to Threeways (the Lebanese restaurant) at 8:45, leaving me plenty of time to gush about how nice my co-workers were, and to get my birthday get up on. I had originally had my eye on a gorgeous embellished khaki dress to wear for my birthday, but by the time I’d been paid, they had sold out of it. D: So I settled on this leopard print dress (left, you can also see the necklace I got for my birthday) instead, which actually looked really nice on me in the finish. It’s ironic really, I used to say that I’d never wear leopard print as it looks cheap and tacky. Now about 1/8th of my wardrobe is probably leopard print, haha!
Our next stop was to Henrys. I had originally wanted to go for a few cocktails, but I was so full after my meal, I decided to just have a simple drink… Champagne! But it’s okay, it’s a girls 21st, so it’s totally justified. Henrys, was basically dead. Nobody ever goes out on a Wednesday so we were the only people in there haha. But oh my God, the bartender was one of the cutest I’d ever seen. DDDD: So pretty! My dad also mentioned to him that it was my birthday… and I got my drink free! Haha. Being 21 has it’s perks ;D After my glass of champagne, I went home to eat my birthday cupcake and play some birthday Left 4 Dead 2. All in all, I had a good day!
