It's just not been my week

Or fortnight really. I've been ill for the past two weeks and now I'm only just getting better, stupid colds are stupid, but this week has really taken the mickey. I had a parking ticket from somewhere I thought was safe to park, then my car broke down and will cost over £100 to fix (even with a friend helping, a garage would be in the hundreds!) and then I lost my purse on the bus. Fun times yo!

I broke down on the way home from work, and I was actually down the road from my house, which was both good and bad. The good thing was, I was close to home for my brother to come help me and not stuck alone. My car just stopped (turns out its the belt thingie?) and then my hazards stopped working on a main road in the dark, which was scary! Luckily it was a Sunday night so it wasn't extremely busy, and we pushed the car round the corner to the end of my really long uphill road which we left till we had reinforcements. However since I was within a mile of my home, my breakdown cover did not apply! I've paid over £60 for nothing! It doesn't count! And I was on the phone for ages telling this English guy all these welsh road names since he couldn't find the location of my car which was just down the road from my address which he had on his database thing! Stressful.

I realised I lost my purse a day late when I tried to pay off my parking ticket, and I think I lost it on the bus or in the bus station yesterday as that's when I last used it, and I had to use the bus since my car has broken down! Bad things really do happen in threes, don't they? I've cancelled my cards, and phoned the bus people but they'll get back to me tomorrow if they happen to find it. If they don't find it, then this week will cost me £200 odd for the parking ticket, bus tickets, fixing the car and replacing my driving licence for the second time! I'm glad I've not bought anything for myself this month apart from the basics. I hope they find it, since I have lost it a few times and its always been found *fingers crossed*. I really need to be more careful I know. I was also meant to be going out for someones birthday tonight but I have no car, no money and no ID.

Anyway, just a little post of my bad luck, and I've not been posting because I've been ill and not really doing anything. I need to catch up on sooo many blogs and have a few posts in mind, so hopefully I'll get round to that sometime this week.

What the heck?

One of the presents I'd ordered for my boyfriend turned up in an unexpectedly state today. I'd ordered him a Darth Vader Lego keyring torch from Play. He loves Star Wars, and Lego, and doesn't have a torch so yay for a mini present (I hope he doesn't read this, he knows I blog, but hasn't seen the blog). When I came home today, I asked if anything had arrived for me, nope, nothing. However my mum asked me if I'd lost anything recently, like dropped something in the garden. This is what she found.

She'd spotted it the day before, upside down and thought it was rubbish, and today she picked it up. It had been lying face down in the garden for two days whilst its been raining, and its not exactly waterproof! I am SO annoyed! It obviously came in a package to be delivered to my house for the address, and play always have sturdy (not really waterproof) packaging, and it would have been small enough to fit into my letter box.  Luckily it still works, but it kinda sucks for giving as a present, I'll just have to explain. I can only think of one reason really, maybe two if I give them the benefit of the doubt.

It's soaking wet, really flimsy, the cardboard is spotty in places and half falling off on the front

The other day I woke up to someone knocking, but I was in bed ill, and hadn't been sleeping lately so like hell I was going to get up. I did look out and see my neighbour walk away after awhile. Now this makes me think it'd been delievered to her house, and they'd opened it, for some bizarre reason, and came to drop it off. However, why just leave it unopened on the floor, not exactly easy to be seen, in winter weather when it could have easily gone through my letter box is completely beyond me! Unless, they'd opened it, put it back in the package, left it and the wind blew it out? There was nothing near it, and I don't like my neighbours (They moved in when I was living on campus, and I moved back after a year and tried saying hello to them and be friendly and nice and introduce myself and they ignored me! Well, she looked at me, and the ignored me, >.<) so I think its the first one, might be a bis biased.

I can't complain about the postman giving it to them if they had because apparently now they can leave it with the neighbours if you're not in, and I can't complain to my neighbours because I have no proof they did it, plus I've never really spoken to them and my mum doesn't like the idea of accusing them, gah! At least it wasn't broken or something super expensive, but I am a bit worried about future things being delivered. Guess this "mystery" will go unsolved for now.


UPDATE! My neighbour came up to my mother the other day and said an odd thing happened a few days beforehand, a label with my name and address had turned up in their garden and nothing else. She brought it up herself, so was she covering her tracks before anything was said, or is this situation getting even more weird and I'm getting more and more paranoid about my neighbours?

Feeling pretty meh

I've not had the best few days recently. I've been working loads, so haven't had much spare time. I hate half term and how busy everywhere is, especially in work, but I suppose that means more shifts which means more money (for Christmas presents and my car!). I found out about something which really upset me the other day, I'm both angry and sad about it but I can't do anything about it which is so frustrating! I've not been getting that much sleep, and I'm a wimp who gets ill after not getting a good nights sleep two nights in a row, so I'm not so slowly loosing my voice, and am coming down with a cold.

But, just one more shift tomorrow then I have a few days off, including Halloween, so yay. I'm dressing up as a witch, I think the last time I did I was Trick or Treating years and years ago lol, and hopefully going to a house party after seeing a play. I'm also planning to apply for a job, before the deadline ends this weekend, I'm terrible at that >.<, I need to do them on time! I'd also like to show a few things I've bought recently, and to make some crafty posts.

I'm fed up of just posting short paragraphs or bullet points, they're not very pretty are they? But I think if I keep posting, it'll keep me in the habit of making blog posts. That's why all the countless other blogs I've made have ended, because I'd leave too long a gap and not really want to post, I felt like it had to be something really interesting after all that time, so I never really did. When something did come up, I felt like I had to recount everything that's happened since the last one as well, that's what I used to do with writing diaries until I couldn't take it anymore and just stopped writing them. I'm just weird with writing I guess :P and I'm pretty tired now, so this is just rambling, I think I'd better be off to bed.
