Everybody's working for the weekend :) in Journal

Day 15 of work and I have a day off tomorrow! I can’t wait!!
On Friday after work Paul came round and we had a M&S deal for dinner and then went to the cinema to watch American Ultra. It was really nice to get out and spend some time together, we used to go to the cinema all the time when Drew and Robyn lived with me but this might actually be the first time we’ve been since they moved out! I liked the film, I do really like Jesse Eisenberg, Kristen Stewart irritates me a little bit but I didn’t mind her too much in this. When we got home I made Paul watch Chatty Man with me because Tom Hardy was on it hugging dogs!
Paul worked on Saturday, I stayed in bed for a little while after he left and then had quite a productive morning of cleaning and tidying! I started work at 3 on Saturday and it was horrible. We were really short staffed, I worked 3 – midnight so I should have been entitled to a 20 minute break but I could not get the manager who was on to agree to let me go for one. In the end I waited until my section had started to calm down, put myself in a kids pizza and allowed myself 10 minutes to speed/rage eat it whilst texting Paul about how angry I was. Because it was so busy, I’m pretty sure I gave absolutely shocking service and I made awful tips. Also one of the waiters asked me if I felt like everyone’s mum because everyone else on the waiting staff is so much younger than me… so that was awesome!
Because Paul knew I was stressed out and sad, he decided to surprise me when I got home from work. But the way he decided to surprise me was by parking his car around the corner from my flat, letting himself in and waiting in the dark. I let myself in and then as I was re-locking the door he jumped out at me! I was as scared as I thought I’d be… I just kind of froze and he found it hilarious! But now I’m really nervous coming home that he’s going to jump out at me! Especially because he said that he nearly hid in the spare room and waited 5 minutes for me to get settled before he jumped out! I think that would have scared me more.
On Sunday Paul made us pancakes for breakfast and I packaged up some eBay stuff that had sold the night before. Then I tidied up and washed up and Paul went home and I went to work. Sundays shift was SO much better than Saturdays, I only worked 6 and a half hours but I got a break! I really struggled with my feet though, I’ve just been wearing some cheap Primark ballet flats and it’s pretty much like just having a bit of cardboard between my foot and the floor! I usually have to take painkillers to get to sleep when I get home but on Sunday I had to take some with 2 hours of my shift left!
I finished work at 7 and went straight to mum’s, it was just me, her and dad which was actually quite nice, Dad even called me ‘Habs’ which is his nickname for me, he seems much nicer in general lately, he’s even taking mum to Norfolk for a couple of days soon to visit their friends and it’s a really big deal for him to take time off work. Aaaand they’ve said that I can get the internet! I am super happy about that! Because I cancelled my line rental it’s going to be 2 weeks before they can come out and set me back up but I can’t wait! Netflix! Pinterest! Prosebox! So happy! I am also really excited that it means I’ll be able to watch the new Doctor who episodes on catch up because I’ll be at work on Saturday nights when they’re actually on TV.
I did manage to book off Paul’s birthday weekend (24th & 25th October) and the weekend after Christmas from Pizza hut which also makes me happy, I reeeeally didn’t want to have to work boxing day because of all the traditions! (McDonalds breakfast and sales shopping with Beth (although I guess it’ll be window shopping this year!) and then Turkey curry and banoffee pie at Lynne and Mikes! Ideally I would like to have saved enough tips by Paul’s birthday that I can take him out for dinner, get him drunk and have my way with him lol, he doesn’t like a fuss being made about his birthday and has already said that he doesn’t want any presents from me but I think it would be nice if we could go out for a bit of a fancy meal!
Yesterday… I don’t even know what happened really, I just worked, ate, slept! I’m am slipping back into bad eating habits again with being so busy and so tired, I need to sort it out because I’ve already gotten rid of all my bigger clothes!
This morning I woke up at 3.30 and then couldn’t get back to sleep, which sucked and then just before 6, Africa brought in live mouse and set it free, I feel bad but I didn’t try and rescue it, I just chased her back out with it and locked the cat flap and now there’s a soggy, dead mouse outside my back door. I’ve been super tired today and I can’t wait to finish work and go home. I’m really excited about having tomorrow off but I’m also already dreading getting back to work again afterwards! It’ll be 19 days in a row next time so I’m definitely not looking forward to it!
