A long awaited post

So I haven't written on either of my blogs in a very long time. A lot of shit has been going on in my life and like always I neglect the things I really want to do.
By the lateness of this post you might have realised that I've had a revelation and I have. I have been really depressed for more than a week now and this is because my contract finished which made me very sad. 1 because I met some amazing people while working there, 2 I really liked the job and 3 it meant that I would once again be unemployed which everyone knows how crap that can be. 
The second reason I've been down is because on the same day that my contract finished, my then boyfriend decided to break up with me. I don't want any sympathy, I'm just explaining the reasons for my absence etc. I am very upset that we broke up but he wasn't happy with me and he seems to be happy now and that's the most important thing.
So on to another new chapter in my life. What will be happening? Well I won't be leaving the things I like to do aside just because there are new people in my life etc. You will be seeing more posts on both my blogs, and more videos on my youtube channel. I will also most probably be making a new channel on youtube where I'll be posting videos of me singing. (I need to get my confidence up), but it's something I really want to do. 
So there you go a very short version of what's been going on and why I haven't posted for so long. If I got into all the nitty gritty stuff this blogpost would be never ending.

Another job update

I know my last post was about me getting the job at Debenhams and if you are bored of hearing about this you don't have to read it 
Anyways this is just a really quick post to tell you that Debenhams called me yesterday and officially offered me the job. Yay (Jumps for joy).
I have to go in on Friday for an induction day and then also on Monday for till training and I will be starting work the week of the 11th of November. So not long now. 
I will probably do another blog post on my induction day and till training and then one on my 1st week or something similar. 
I am very excited and a little nervous but I'm sure it'll go fine.

News update

So just a quick update for you guys today. About a month ago I had an assessment day with Debenhams, which is a department store for those of you who don't know, and they said they would let us know from the 13th of October onwards if we'd got the job or not.

If you follow my blog you will know that I have been out of the country for 2 weeks, however I had my PC and English phone with me so I could still receive emails and calls. Anyways on Monday I got a message from one of the girls that was in my group on the assessment day asking me if I had got the job. 
I immediately went and looked at my emails and checked my phone but I hadn't received anything. I thought I might have received a letter, so when I got home yesterday I checked but nothing had come through the post. 

This morning when I got up I got the number for HR in Debenhams. I called them and a really nice woman answered. I told her that I had done an assessment day and hadn't heard anything back from them and was wondering if  they could tell me anything. 
She ask for my name, address and the name of the person who I had my interview with. She then put me on hold so she could call the store. I was really anxious and was just admitting defeat when she came back on the line and told me that I had been offered the job!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :). 
I am so so so happy, it has really boosted my confidence and has made me feel even better about moving over here.

My 2 weeks in Italy

So my 2 weeks in Italy is up, and considering that I didn't want to come back and I had a tooth out it wasn't as dreadful as I thought it would be. 

Although I didn't get out of the house that much I spent a good amount of time with my mum which was nice because I had been missing her. I also helped out with her play that she was in. 
One of the best things about being back in Italy is that I was able to drive. I have missed driving a lot, so as soon as I get a job (hopefully soon) I will get some driving lessons and then I'll save up for a car.

I've definitely taken advantage of the fact that I've been here to eat Sushi,Pasta and Pizza because although you can obviously get these 3 things in England Sushi is very expensive so until I'm earning proper money I won't be going out for that anytime soon, and there's nothing like Pasta and Pizza from Italy. 

A few pics from these 2 weeks

What has everyone been up to these 2 weeks?

D-day

So if you follow my blog you will know that I've been having major problems with my teeth, wisdom tooth to be exact.
Today was finally the day that they were going to take it out. 
So I was so nervous and scared when I got there and they gave me this calming thing which didn't work one bit.
I went into the surgery and the first thing that I had to do was another X-ray which hurt sooooo much. I had to bite down on this thing as hard as I could and it was digging into my gum. It was awful. 
After that they gave me the anesthetic and the needle that they used was massive and of course that hurt as well. They gave me a hell of a lot of anesthetic which is good I guess otherwise I don't think that I would have been able to bear the pain.  
The dentist then decided that he wasn't going to take the actual wisdom tooth out, but the one next to it so the 7th tooth. He did this because it was an easy process than trying to extract the wisdom tooth.
So now I have a massive gap in my mouth, which you can't see but I can feel and it feels really weird. 
However, I'm happy that it has finally been done. It's a bit sore but I have antibiotics and painkillers so that's good. Oh and lots of ice cream :). 
I have to go back to the dentist next week to get the stitches out, but hopefully, fingers crossed, that will be the last time for quite a while.

Wisdom Tooth Woes

So last weekend my wisdom tooth started to bother me again. I started taking antibiotics but they definitely weren't working as well as they had when I had to take them 2 months ago. 
Anyway I knew that I couldn't wait until the 26th of November (which was when I was supposed to have my appointment at the hospital) so I made an appointment at the dentist. 
I went and he gave me another course of antibiotics to take on top of the ones I was already taking and he also told me to call the hospital and ask them if I could fix an appointment at an earlier date. 
I did this and they basically told me that there wasn't another date available, they told me that I'd have to call every day and see if someone had cancelled.
Anyway yesterday I was talking to my mum on the phone and she said that it would be best if I went back to  Italy so I could have it done privately by the dentist that has worked on my teeth for years.
So that's what is going to happen. I'm flying back on Monday for 2 weeks. If you read my blog you will probably guess that I'm hardly ecstatic about going back to Italy so soon after my move to England. Oh well at least I get to see my mum and dad and my doggy :).

Last Week In Pictures

A trip to the National Gallery was needed 

Looking out at Trafalgar Square and the back of Nelson's Column 

You can't visit London without seeing Big Ben

A nice stroll along the south bank without taking photos isn't a stroll at all

A lovely view, even the sun made an appearance

The outside of the British Museum 


The inside of the British Museum (well some of it anyway)

Outside with my back to the British Museum

Some music in Covent Garden

The end of a perfect day has to end with a Starbucks of course

A night out in London

Comfort food after the previous nights shenanigans
