Workaholic

I recently went for an interview for the new Primark store opening in the Metro Centre. On Monday I found out that I got the job and start working two 4 hour shifts on Saturday's and Sunday's from 15th October. Then yesterday I went for an interview at a club in Newcastle called Digital. They asked me to work last night as a trial shift, so I did. I already know quite a few people who work at Digital as one of my friends currently works there and two recently left. If I do both of these jobs, and keep volunteering at Oxfam, my life will look something like this:

Monday: Oxfam 0900 - 1300, Digital 2300 - 0400

Tuesday: Free Day!

Wednesday: Oxfam 0900 - 1300

Thursday: Digital 2300 - 0400

Friday: Digital 2300 - 0400

Saturday: Primark 1600 - 2000, Digital 2300 - 0400

Sunday: Primark 0900 - 1300

I am going to be dead on my feet after those weekends, but I enjoy working, so wish me luck!

Vintage Vivien Smith

Recently, I ordered a vintage Vivien Smith evening dress from Oxfam online store, for the masquerade ball I am going to in May for the end of year party. Originally I wasn't really looking for a new dress, I just happened to be looking on the Oxfam site for volunteer work for the summer, and stumbled upon their online vintage store. Most of the clothes were too big for me, sizes 12+ seemed very popular, then I found this dress. It's strapless, with a black velvet corset, and a midnight blue two tiered dress. It's a medium, which is usually too big for me, but the measurements fitted mine, and it was on sale! Reduced from £25 to £12.50, and although I don't have much money at the moment, I managed to spare the £15 (inc p+p) as I completely fell in love with this dress. Three days later I received an email to say it had been dispatched by second class Royal Mail, and should be with me within three working days. However, it has now been five working days since it was dispatched and there is still no sign of it. I have emailed Oxfam and they've said that if it still hasn't arrived tomorrow, they will refund me as it is lost in the mail. But I want this dress to turn up so badly, it is perfect in every way and I don't want it to be lost in the system, especially when Royal Mail are so unreliable. Fingers crossed!
