What will 2009 bring??

I don't actually know anybody going 'out' out this New Year, in these credit crunching times who can afford it? If I was to go out in Chav central (Southend on Sea for those of you who are unaware) I reckon my night out could have cost £228.20-

Taxi there £20

Taxi Back £40

Club entry £25

Pre going out bottle of wine £6

Dress, Shoes, Bag, Accessories etc £130 maybe?

Full price drinks over the night £30 (and I'm not a huge drinker)

Cheesie chips £2.20

no thanks.

So not having that sort of cash, I like most am going to a house party/gathering. A few of my mates, some cheap bottles of wine and nibbles and a few sleeping bags and volia, not even £20 a person. Bargain. After all, the hyped up nights are always the worst aren't they, especially when you're recently split from your boyfriend (which I am).

So the likelihood of this evening is that I'll drink too much, take too many horrible pictures, cry far too much and probably be pretty miserable..... but I'll be £208.20 better off than if i went out.

Roll on 2009, although the prospects for the year aren't looking great really are they.

Things that really annoy me-a moaning list

• getting up at 6.30am
• baristas who repeatedly get my coffee order wrong! Tall, Skinny, Caramel Capachinno to go-how hard is that??
•  hard core feminists who think that looking good is degrading-they're just ugly and bitter.
• people who wear stupid outfits just to get noticed-today i saw a girl with blue tights with white bones on then. I imagine it was meant to look like her sceleton...it just looked stupid, AND made her legs look fat
• coloured tights in general-i decided never to wear red tights after i heard a man pointing to a girl wearing them on the train saying "it looked like she'd had her period down them"
• Jamie Oliver- he really and truly sold out
• big bank bosses still getting bonuses and ridiculously large ammounts of money while tax payer foot the bill
• Granny Pants
• people who don't like pirate facebook- oh arrrrrr!
• wearing flip flops in the rain
• the fact that I've lost the scroll bar on my word for mac?? (if anyone knows how to get it back pleasssssssse tell me)
• x factor- a show for talentless idiots
• simon cowell- a talentless idiot
• the fact that there are no more harry potter books coming out
• when people don't email me back-Glamour Magazine I'm refering to you!!!!!
• spilling things down white tops
• men in general-need i say more?
• that my eyebrows ALWAYS need plucking!
• Sarah Palin thinking she was talking to Sarkozy-come on girl!!!!!

Here comes bridezilla

The perk of being a bride is to be the best dressed, most beautiful woman in the world for a day.

Without a doubt, the wedding dress is THE most important aspect of the wedding-definitely more important than being permanently attached to the man of your dreams-soon to be nightmares. 

And this is reflected by the tens of thousands of pounds women spend on 'the perfect dress', every woman wants an original, a designer label and something that will look fabulous on them, and only them.

But with the current financial climate, it seems women are cutting back on everything non essential, and sadly this seems to include dresses.

Marks and Spencers is currently selling a wedding dress for £15! Surely there's at least one 0 missing off that number, but no! £15!!! Apparently it is in an effort to clear out old stock (it has been marked down from its original £150) to try and get rid of it. This says a lot for the dress in question really doesn't it?

Indeed Natalie Theo of the Daily Mail said "the dress was not exactly oozing with style" and that the quality was debatable.

It also says even more about the budgets of the women flocking to buy this dress, according to Marks it sold out quickly and they had to replenish the stock!

The credit crunch really is a sad time for everyone, no bride really wants to get married in (shudder) off the rack.
