Trying to ascertain if the day has been successful...

Today has not been what I personally would describe as successful - I'm a tad irritated, truth be told!

So, I need some new jeans. No biggy. Except for the small fact that I can't get a pair of bootcut jeans in the colour I want - I don't want skinnies, I've already got a pair and I don't find skinnies very practical or comfy! Wouldn't be too much of an issue if it weren't for the fact that both my pairs of bootcuts now have holes in the inner thigh =/ Another annoyance - Its official that, despite it still being listed on the Garnier website, nowhere seems to sell Garnier 100% Colour anymore. This is a serious issue for me, since I've been using that brand for six years! Back when I was 14 and dyed my hair red, I used the "Intense Deep Red" shade, then I used the black shade that I can't remember the name of, and since I started dying the front of my hair red in the middle of last year aswell as using it since I dyed it all red again just before Christmas, I was happy as Larry. But noooooooo! I don't get it, its not like it wasn't selling well, whenever I got there I had to delve to the back to find any 9 times out of 10! So I'm in a bit of a bah humbug mood right now. On the plus side however, after some digging on the internet (I love you Google!) I found the blog of a girl that uses the Schwarzkopf Live Color XXL dye in "Hypnotic Red", and despite looking a little ginger on the box (which is why I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole before) it is actually a nice red! So after all the lack of Garnier trauma, it may not be so bad after all *Mops brow*

The up-side of today is that although I didn't manage to buy either of the things I went out for, I did manange to get some rather nice Lara Croft-esque shorts. When I lose some more weight before long I'll be donning a tight turquoise tank top (alliteration, go me), buying some pistols and going off on exciting adventures around the world =D

In other news, I'm thinking of some ways to scrape some cash in since I'm not working, maybe learning how to make some little gifty/crafty things to sell or charging a little to research some family history if people are interested. The latter is my real forte of course, I find it stupidly interesting and it'd give me something to get my teeth into. And I wouldn't just be nicking people's money for nothing, I'm a hard worker once I get damn persistent (as proven by my hours and hours of work trying to find the "Cowderoy" side of Ben's family and trying every wrong spelling under the sun, lol!)

Rayness out!
