    Well I'm not doing the cleaning because it'll just get thrown back in my face. He's said he doesn't promise to keep it clean (when we were cleaning out his room yesterday I found like a million dirty tissues and a mouldy cup under his bed and it was so dusty it made my lungs burn). He also now has an en-suite, but no window to open after he's had a shower and I warned him about silverfish and apparently I'm nagging (even though he's never heard of silverfish, so I was only trying to help :dontknow:)

    Nina he's old enough to clean up after himself, so let him live in his filth for a bit, and then tell him you're not coming over unless he cleans. Sorted

    Today I'm attempting to go out with no make up on whatsoever. CHALLENGE

    Yeah definitely I'm a very shy person and not very talkative but I think this could definitely be a boost It'll give me some confidence for the other interview, maybe.

    Speaking of which I went to the retail park where the shop is gonna be. BLOODY HELL IT'S MASSIVE. But at least it means they'll need a lot of people right?

    I read a few blogs, but they're plus size ones so they won't be much use to you! Generally if you can try and find one, they'll follow loads of others! Just Google

    This is one of the best, she used to just be a blogger but now she's MTV's Twitter Jockey, so she's not posting as much, but I have her exact measurements so it makes me feel good haha: http://www.youngfatandfabulous.com/

    PR does a lot of mostly plus-size posts, but she also looks at catwalk stuff quite a lot and she's a blogger for a plus size clothes store too: http://www.pocketrocketfashion.com/

    There's loads of other blogs they'll advertise somewhere on their pages, too, but they're the best

    Haha it's alright. I'm really into floral atm for some reason, which is weird for me. I might wait and see about buying them once I'm back from B's next Saturday though!
