After a very, very hard week at work, i decided to treat myself, and my best friend...the wife as she's known...to a manicure in a little Beauty Salon in my village. They could only fit us in at 10:30am and i have my 18 month old nephew stay Friday night so it was a mad dash to my sisters to return him then to the salon, but i made it.

The staff there were very, very nice...even took out my card and put it in the machine and returned in to my pocket all so i didn't ruin my newly manicure nails!! Needless to say i'm going back next week, although this time i'm treating my sister, who is pregnant with her second child, so a little treat for her!

Anyway, with the weather being as glorious as it was, me and the wife decided to go shopping....and it was the sales people! After a little bit of shopping in Leeds, we went for a spot of lunch and had an exquisite meal and the wine was very nice to say it was the house white.

After a tad bit more shopping, in which there was nothing i liked , we retired back to my sisters to see her and then back to mine. There is an ITV drama being filmed in the country park opposite my house, so we decided to see if we could scout any stars...needless to say there wern't any....it was 7:00pm....but there was some kind of party going on in one of the manor house barns....lots of oldies lol.

The weather was glorious still and a few pics were in order, so we took some random ones out and about and a couple for facebook, as you do, then had a few glasses of white to finish off a perfect day!

I'm feeling very good after having an unusually good week and Friday 13th lol!!

I've had a very good week this week, mainly due to my over indulgence of my bank card it must be said.

Other then the fabulous purchases i have made, i am overjoyed with my new mobile and espresso machine lol, work is somewhat getting back on track, we have new staff which is great and i may be on the verge of getting two people who used to be best friends, but had a major falling out many years ago, back together for a coffee!!

I also got to work on time, even though i missed my bus and had to get the next one and despite a little hissy fit at work, i've had a good day...shopping only contributed partially to it

So all in all a very good week! I also have the weekend off work, no overtime for me, so i'm hoping to get some much needed rest...it is hard work being me you know! lol

I'm not really one to write journals to be honest and some one once said it's good to get things written down and this is about as close as i will get to it! lol

I've been thinking a lot about what kind of a person i am and how that may effect love. I'm vain and shallow and a very materialistic person, and i know that. But it annoys me that people feel the need to constantly remind me, especially my friends and family.

I am aware that i place a lot of emphasis on how someone looks, i am aware that i can be too critical of others, i am aware that i spend too much on materialistic things.......i am aware of the kind of person i am.

That's the message i try to get across, yet people never seem to get it.

This leads me to think that this may be the reason i am single...still!

My last relationship was great. He was funny, intelligent, a great conversationalist, ever so kind and in a band no less! "You say last...it ended?" i hear you cry...well indeed it did....i had to break it off. "For why?" i hear you say next...well...he was not good looking enough.

After all the criticism i get of my friends and family i decided to focus on personality rather then looks....and it didn't work.....it's not who i am. His fashion sense was more shabby chic then runway or even high street, his hair was unkept and i wasn't physically attracted to him.

It is hard to find the right person, smart, good looking, fashionable, funny, caring and romantic.

Maybe i'm too picky....maybe I'm wanting that perfect guy.....that guy who just doesn't seem to exist.
