Over the course of the past few days I’ve somehow managed to read about 12 novels. I think it’s because I’ve finally moved into my new room (my brother and I have switched) and I unearthed all my books which I’ve read before but had nowhere to put them out in my old room due to serious lack of shelving. Now they’re at least on a shelf - just have to wait for the boyfriend to come up and put up proper shelving on my walls.
My new room is lovely; wooden flooring, white walls, glass computer desk, high chest of drawers and a gorgeous white / pale pink duvet set which I bought in TK Maxx the other night with my mum. I was tempted to buy a rug also, but it was a little expensive for such a tiny wee rug - plus it’d get covered in dog hairs which I’d be constantly trying to pick off it.
I am in the process of charging my camera so that I can post some pictures of my room - if only to remind myself to keep it tidy as it really is lovely!
Speaking of lovely, our new manager started in the shop. He’s a really nice guy, but things are so different with my old boss. Like I’ve said before, she’s more of a friend than a boss! Still, the new guy rocks - even if everybody aside from me seems to be scared of him. I suppose it’s only because I already know him that I’m not scared of him - I am determined to impress him though with how well me & the other supervisor can run the shop.
As you can probably see, there’s a new theme up here at Emerge. It’s a theme which is designed for magazine and news blogs, but I think that it fits quite well with my site also. I just really love that I can cram so much into one page without it looking really, really jampacked and hard to read. What are your thoughts on it?
Photos coming soon, I have lots to post!
My coursework folder. This is one section, minus the evidence that’s the same size as this. So, I’ve done 4x the work in this folder. No wonder it takes me so long!
My lovely bedroom
And again, from an other angle. It’s a tiny, tiny room!
My cool floor, and funky new shoes which I love. Camo-print ♥

Sounds like you have a very nice room now. I never lived in a house so I don’t really know what it’s like to do major room redecorating. I always wanted to paint the walls ^_^

Hi I’m using the same JMW “Jello Wala Mello” wordpress 2.3 theme however can’t get my thumbnail to show up. I’ve tried to get help from Small Potato’s blog & forum, but he does not explain in detail what steps need to be taken. Can you please take a look at my site ‘hoodknowledge.com’ and let me know how you got the thumb nails working. Thanks in advance :) I tried to contact you another way but could not find a ‘contact’ link sorry

Do you mean on the single post view of a blog entry?, as you seem to have managed to get them to show on the main index file.
All that I did to add them thumbnail to this page was copy the code below from the main index file.
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, "Thumbnail", true); ?>" alt="<?php the_title(); ?> <?php _e('thumbnail'); ?>" class="alignleft" />Edit that to show exactly how and where on single post that you wish to show the thumbnail.

Your room sounds lovely. I really like wooden floors and I hope to have those in my own house one day too. And dog hair… tell me about it! I have been dreaming about this thick wool rug for a while now, but like you, I’m sure it would be a big work to get our pets hairs off it.
I’ll definitely check back for the pictures of your place later.
The layout is nice. I like the colors and the background image gives that final touch for it. :)

The new room looks cool.I wish mine was clean. lol. It’s a mess right now. :/ But I’m hardly ever there, and moving out soon…so I see no point in cleaning it at the momnet.
I wish I had time to read that much. :/ My books are totaly where I can see them…I just don’t have time to read them :( I also refuse to sell the ones that i’ve already read. I’m not sure why though.
