Catch Up and Old Photo Alert

So my news. As I said on my last post my glasses broke. Here is photo evidence:


We tried glue and tape but the lens kept falling out. I went to my Optician and he said the only option was to replace the frames at a cost of £21. Yeah no thanks. I've had the old ones since 2009 I believe and I felt like a change so I had a scout around online and found Select Specs where I managed to get some for £6 (£12.95 with postage), I chose the P2267 - Demi. They took a while to arrive so I was rather headachy and avoiding the computer so as not to strain my eyes. 


This is them :D they look great I think and they're pretty comfy. The main issue with buying online is worrying about fit and arm length but these are fine. They were a bit tight at first but they seem to have worn in now though :)

Anyway now for the outfits: 
Top: Evans, Skirt: Charity shop, Socks: Charity shop, Trainers: Shoe Zone

T-Shirt: Evans (says Rock 'N' Roll Snoopy but Snoopy got washed out), Jeans: Bon Prix, Trainers: Vans.

Top: Evans, Jeans: Oxendales Catalogue (I think...), Trainers: Vans. These jeans I've had years. The last time I tried them on they were too small, now they are loose.

Just for fun here's an old photo from when I was at college when the animal (and probably horse) care students did our Key Skills certificate. We went on a day trip somewhere I can't remember the name of. I do remember I'd been on a camping trip there with my secondary school once. They do things like fire starting, shelters etc. I nearly had an asthma attack walking from the minibuses up to the site. Once there we were put into groups and had to make a shelter. I was on wood collecting duty for my team and I reckon our shelter was pretty good. Our photo was taken at the end and I received it at the end of the year.


Today I was sorting out my drawer and found the photo and I was shocked by the change. I didn't think I'd lost much weight in recent times but looking at this - bad pose aside - I have lost a lot of weight. I look awful here. I've ripped the picture up now - mostly because the only people's names I can remember are Sarah (pictured above) and Sam. I do remember I had a crush on Sarah (damn it what is it with girls called Sarah? That was my exes name...) but nothing ever happened. I don't know if she was even anything other than straight, she was awkward and spiky but good fun, we lost touch after college though. Despite the fact that the picture is awful it was a good day and I loved college. I wanted to do the follow-up course but I couldn't afford it (same old, same old).

There is more to say but I'm going to leave it there for today as this post is rather long (even if it's mostly pictures XD).
