Situations Involving Ex Boyfriends. What Would You Do?

30th April 2015

Don’t you just hate them! So this is following an interesting conversation I had with my friend about what to do when you know someone’s partner has been sending inappropriate messages to another person.

Do you just leave it and not get involved or would you go and tell the partner.

A bit of background on this (this will get confusing so I’ll label the people!), the person who was sending the texts was an ex boyfriend (A), who has now been with his new girlfriend (B) a year. He was sending the text messages to an ex girlfriend (C) for the first 9 months of his new relationship with B.

A and  C had been together for four years previously in a not so great relationship, and during that relationship he had also sent inappropriate messages to B along with several other girls. After C found out she confronted B who agreed to meet up and apologised etc. So moving on a few months after A+C split , A+B get together. During this time A is still messaging C lots of inappropriate & emotional things and never once mentions that he has a new girlfriend. The first C knows of this is when she saw a tagged Facebook status celebrating their 1st year together.

So here’s the dilemma would you tell the current girlfriend, because she had the decency to speak to you and meet you and apologise when she was in your shoes? Or would you just leave it and just let sleeping dogs lie and avoid all the drama, but still have it on your conscience.

I’ll not tell you guys what mine and my friends opinions were I’ll let you make your own mind up.  I’m really interested to hear people different opinions on this as it’s quite a controversial one so leave me comments 🙂

It’s back to beauty in the next post as I have some lovely bits and bobs to review.

Pink Hair Don’t Care

27th April 2015

So I got my hair dresser to dip dye my hair this beaut pinky purple colour, just for fun 🙂

The brand of hair dye she used is a semi permanent called Colour Flash and the colour is “Mega Magenta”

In terms of longevity this hair dye isn’t great, it faded pretty quick after one wash, but that might just be my hair. The original colour was so vibrant though. This would be great if you just fancied dying your hair for a particular event.

Has anybody else ever tried this brand? How did you find it?

Broken Toe’s Are Hell

22nd April 2015

So I’ve not blogged for a million years. Standard life is busy excuse. But I have a lot of time on my hands at the minute due to not working because I broke my toe. Well I say I broke my toe, I was stood minding my own business in a bar when a drunk girl stumbled off a little dancing platform (which had no safety barriers around it) and stuck a stiletto into me. Total accident and she did apologise and totter off, in all honestly I’m still kind of pissed.

So after that I think I went into shock from the pain and felt very very sick, my friend found me curled up in the toilet stall of the bar leaving messages that made no sense at all to my boyfriend, with blood pouring out of my foot. The bouncers then cleaned me up put a plaster on and told me to go to hospital. Cue 3 hours in A&E an x-ray which showed that my bone had been completely snapped in half and a wound that was cut nearly to the bone. They sent me off with drugs (Co-codamol is the best thing!) and told me to return tomorrow for the fracture clinic.

If you don’t like gory pictures I’d advise you to look away now!

So this was the state of my foot when I got to A&E

and this is the x-ray

So I went back to the fracture clinic the next day, and it turns out I needed an operation to put K-wiring into my foot as the break was that bad. If you don’t know what K-wiring is was basically two wires drilled into my foot to keep the bone in place. I had this done under local aesthetic (they said I wouldn’t feel anything, they lied!). I went home with a really hideous support shoe, crutches and more good drugs. Cue 4 weeks off work, (I actually really really love my job so this made me really sad) and general madness from being in the house so much.

So three weeks later I’m sat minding my own business and the frickin wire just falls out my foot. Like literally just falls out. Called the hospital and they said to go in. I get x-rayed again and it turns out the wires weren’t in securely enough so one fell out and one slipped into the break and prevented it from healing. Pissed off wasn’t even the word. I got given a choice of leaving it, which meant my toe would be crooked forever and there was a risk of further health problems, such as the bones rotating. Or I could have another K-wire op and have another 4 weeks off work. In the end I went for the op.

When I came round from the anaesthetic (I told them to knock me out this time, couldn’t face local again) I was told the operation hadn’t gone to plan and my body had rejected the k-wiring. So my toe had been put into place, strapped up and I had to hope for the best. So another three weeks off work and yet more being stuck in the house. I’m back at the hospital tomorrow and I think that they’re going to tell me it hasn’t worked. I think the fact that they haven’t put the binding on properly hasn’t helped.

So that’s my sorry tale. I know that there is a lot lot worse going on in the world and in the grand scheme of things a broken toe isn’t that bad, but I just needed a rant. That drunk girls carelessness have cost me 7 weeks work and probably further health problems. I think the most frustrating thing is not being able to do the most simple of tasks such as have a standing up or drive. I don’t think being stuck inside so much does much good for your mental health either if I’m honest. I’m finding myself lacking motivation and being a bit down over it, which sounds pathetic because it is just a toe, but it’s impacted my whole life in a way that just ridiculous.

Anyway I’ll end this rant, on the plus size at least it’s given me a kick up the bum to get back into blogging. Every cloud 🙂
