Sunscreen anyone?
Its been really nice for a couple of days now, really warm but hardly no sun. But 2day OMG! Really really warm and blue sky.
This morning i went to work to do a health certificate thing (something i have to do) and after like 30 min the computer decides that it doesnt wanna work anymore so of i went back home again! I was not complaining but it would have been nice to have it done, i now have to do it some other day.
Well well home i got and went down town for a quick birthday shopping and then off to the gardens wich resulted in short, bra lines and crab red arms! Yeyyyyyyyyy or NOT!
My face hardly got any colour i had sun protection on that!
Haha so i look really funny and everyone is laughing at mine!
2mrw im working my longest shift so far. 10 - 18. After that its home to change clothes and then off to celebrate the birthday boy Jeremy at Amelies work.
A girl at work change shifts with me so im not working until 14.00 on sunday but i finish at 20.00. And on sunday after work im going home to change again and then off to a girls nite out with some girls from Ikea. That should be fun.
The group im working with is really tight as a group and friends so its a bit hard to get through, but hopefully time and a drunken night out will solve that. The saying: U dont know them until u have been out drinking with them. Or something like that!
Apparently 2mrws gonna be even better than 2day and im working all day. But with my skin i shouldnt be out in the sun right now anyway!
The only reason im up this late its 23.45 its because im waiting for a wash to finish. After that im off to bed!
Only 2 weeks until im coming home for a couple of days, im trying to plan how to manage with just a handluggage. Me Cajsa who never can have just something light. So we will see how that one goes.
Ok gonna go to bed now
Talk to ya soon again I´ll probably write on monday again when im off work. Then i can tell u about the weekens escapades!
XOXO
Quick update!
So everything is starting to roll on with ikea and all.
Lots to take in but fun as well. Great people im working with, lots of girls and they are all very chatty so there is not a moment silence really! Awesome! I fit right in!
The girls in my section are having a nite out next week and a great opportunity for me to get to know people abit better!
So 2mrw its the toga party everyone has been longing for! Me and Amelie gonna meet up before for food and drinks at one of our new favourite places before were going to TOGA!
Next week is going to be busy aswell. Party with sabine on tuesday and on saturday its the chef at Amelies works birthday, a big deal! And on sunday the ikea girls nite out. Working both saturday and sunday wich sucks but im not gonna start by changing shifts, just because of a close friends birthday.
2day did not go as i planned. When i got home from work i planned to just have a quick nap, go to the gym and then of to see some friends. Well at 21.00 i realise its late and i havnt done anything! Just beenH sleeping.
So now im all awake but still tired so hopefully i will be able to go back to sleep really soon.
My toga shopping hasnt gone the way i wanted. Just checked for a couple of minutes ago if all my golden ribbons would be enough. Apperently not, so 2mrw i have to do some last minute shopping for more ribbons and hope for the best. Working saturday at 14.00 so not to bad.
Have a great weekend. Lots of love

Im now an IKEA girl!
Hey everyone!
Its been ages, it feels like at least!
I´ve been busy! I got the job at ikea and im working 4 days a week. Still probably gonna apply for other jobs to see if i can get a part time job as well!
Everything is floating along, the toga party is on friday and everyones excitement just gets bigger for every day! its gonna be great fun!
So 2mrw i got a interview to get my National insurance number wich i need to be able to work and get paid, but its funny cause u cant get one if u dont have a job, so abit hard!
And apparently they ae going to ask really hard questions like when EXACTLY i came to the UK for the first time. Like date and year! And really tricky ones like that, hopefully im gonna succed. Cause i have to show them i actually got a job and address aswell!
And i went to the bank 2day as well to get an bank account so i can get paid.
Working thursday morning 09.00 to 15.00 and saturday (the day after the toga party!) At 14.00 to 19.30. So we will see how that goes.
On thursday its a red day here as well and it probably gonna be more people at Ikea then, and the same on saturday!
But i like having stuff 2do! I mean im really proud of myself! I got a job by myself in a big company in an different country thats not my birth place! And i fixed apartment and everything by myself!
Im suppose to work at the postoffice this summer like always and i do get more money from there but i do wanna try to work somewhere else. The money is not always everything!
Im sitting at Amelies work. I like the atmosphere here, new people all the time and they are all so friendly! They are usually kinda keen to talk as well!
Im just talking to some girls from Florida. I like talk to people like this! They like tell me if i go to Florida i should go here and there. Thats just awesome!
I was suppose to go to the Whisky experience 2day but that didnt happen. Went out toga shopping but i still dont have everything! The whisky experience is a place where u get to know about whisky and get to try some aswell. Im trying to do all the things i didnt do all the other times i´ve been here! Like some of the free museums and such.
Haha one funny thing! So i´ve been up since 05.20 this morning and i went to bed at 02.30! That is because a friend of my called a really drunken call and totally woke me up. I went on a walk for like an half hour and then to the gym and i finished all the things i had planned to do before noon! NICE! I like getting up early when u do get up but the problem is to really get up! Im getting really tired now, the lack of sleep are getting to me now. Crap. Probably gonna have a nap 2mrw so im not knackered on thursday when im suppose to go up early to work. Adam one of the chiefs are having a party 2mrw nite aswell, hmmmm busy busy!
Well well guys
i guess im gonna go home to sleep some!
Take care
love ya loads

Finally getting somewhere!
So its been a while as always!
Ok, so i had an interview at Ikea the other day, it went ok. So, 2mrw im having a like a tryout day, to see if i can cope the stress and all i guess. So im in the bistro, the swedish shop. Me being swedish they thought its a win win situation cause i know alot of things about the products. Im nervous!!! Ahhhhh i mean its saturday so its gonna be lots of people and probably there gonna come someone with an accent i cant understand or that i do something horribly wrong! But hopefully either way, if its goes bad or good that i will have a fun and educational day! I mean i do wanna learn new stuff!
And for everyone who doesnt know yet, im going home for a quick visit the 14 - 19th of june, before im going back here again!
So the week has been mostly sunny but 2day it was pouring down and me and Amelie was out shopping stuff for our Toga themed party next week! Everyone is really looking forward to it and alot of people is really going in for it! Im so gonna take lots of pics that night, cant wait! White and gold things!
The staff at Belushis (Amelies work) is being different gods and such, me im just going as some hot toga girl! (Hopefully!)
Almost a week with my new hair now and im so happy that its so much more manageable. Not so long and damaged, its not flying all over the place!
Ok, gonna go sleep now so im ready for 2mrw! Im excited and nervous at the same time! Will tell you how its goes!
Nite nite

Sunshine! Sunshine!
And for you people who doesnt check facebook i cut my hair the other day. So now its short and a wearable fringe again.
Im loving it so far, i love the respons im getting so thats always something.
Its Monday and i know there are places i can go. Amelie and her crew is celebrateing that they finished their last exam 2day. But i just dont wanna spend money on alcohol right now... And lets face it i know if i go i will probabaly drink something. Even if its juice or something its still money i could spend on food. An average price for a glas of cranberry jucie is around (ca 25 kr) and for that you can get 2 litre or more in the stores.
I love living so close to everything but of course its a down side cause you do spend more money.
So on thursday i have an interview at Ikea again, so we will see how that goes. I do have to take the bus every morning if i get it but hopefully thats worth it. I can probably buy a bike but its scary cause you have to ride along and with the cars all the way. And walking there probably takes over the hour, even more. Its a 15-20 min bus ride.
So all my swedish friends; i will be coming home to sweden in about a month (around the 13-16 of june) to go to the school interview in Orsa. And i will be home for maximum a week, just so you know!
So the meeting i had with my "personal" trainer went good. We added more cardio and arm exercises. 2mrw morning its aquafit, an other reason to not stay out late drinking. Its at 9!
People here just dont seem to get that i rather dont drink so much because of i wanna go to the gym next morning and still feel like i havnt wasted anything. If i get the ikea job gym during the mornings will be hard. The gym opens at six tho, the problem is to get up that early and still be in time for work.
Ok thats all for now.
Love ya loads, but hate u for the summer in Sweden.

A nice Highland tour!
So yesterdays highland tour was great. Beautiful views, hateful Scottish weather, good company! What more can you ask for?
I have been to these tours before but this was an other company and there was only one place we stopped at where i´ve been before. So that was great.
I went with a friend of mine; Jeremy and he still have the camera and the pics.
I was tired last nite and went to bed around 23.00. And like always i put my clock at 07.35 so i would be at the gym around 8. Well i can tell you that didnt happen. I started to snooze and then i reset the time. So it ended up with going out of bed at 13.00. The hole day just passed.
And i cant decide if im gonna go to the gym now or 2mrw wich i have to cause i got a time wih my "personal trainer". So 2mrw i will go but am i going 2day??????
I dont really want to but all the crap i ate yesterday when we were on the tour, have to get out as soon as possible. im just gonna keep the weight i have if i can stay off the cheap bad food over here. The problem is not when i go grocery shopping or cooking for that matter. Its later on....And evey day seems so long that if i had some candy yesterday it feels like i could have been last week cause i just dont remember what day it was. And its so cheap ahhhhhhh i hate it. Please give me some strenght!!
And some news for you all:
The school i applied for at home in Sweden im going there for an interview in june. So we will see how that goes.
I got mixed feelings abou it. I do wanna stay here but right now i just wanna go home, no job, the money is on the downhill and everything. But the other side of me wants to stay and have a good time, although with a job....
Have a good weekend
lots of love

The pigeons strike back again!
So when I made lunch today it got really steamy so i opened the window and later on I had my lunch on my room. So after i had eaten it I went back to do the dishes.
And on my way in i can hear the bloody pigeons again and now theirs 2 of them IN the kitchen! Took a while to get them out and it just feels so dirty when you know that "the flying rats" have been where I cook my food, no fun at all.
So mondays birthday party was great, well what i remember of it!
We started at a restaurant called Buffalo Grill, i had jambalaya. It was really god.
After that we went to a pub before heading to another pub called Dropkicks where there is every monday barstaff night. But no one really checks so I had the same cheap prices as everyone else.
So we drank our way through the night and it was fun. The day after was not as fun, for me at least. Had abit too much to drink so I had a water party with myself as the only guest.
I also played bowling last night. I lost and is not happy about it so lets change subject!
So 2mrw im going on a highland tour! Yeyyyyy
Its gonna (hopefully) be so much fun!
The weather has been rainy and windy for a couple of days now so im guessing thats the weather forecast for 2mrw. But I had so much luck when i went to the highlands for 2 years ago. So i guess i can do with some rain on this tour.
Its gonna be some mountains, lochs (lake in gaelic or something) and whisky! Its a day tour so we leave around 8 2mrw morning and gets back again around 18.00.
Cant wait! =)
And right at this second im colouring my hair and just realised i have went over my minutes so i have to go rinse!
Tell more about the tour and such later on!
Lots of love

Yet again Sunday!
Alright what have happened since wednesday, the last time i wrote......
As always not much!
Just the that the "normal" day is getting more common wich means less exciting things to write and for u to read. But im trying my best!
Ok so this thursday i went to the evening aquafit class and when were done and off to the showers, there was this lady who I guess havnt shaved her "private" areas in years! Ahhhhhh I almost screamed, haha. She looked like these free spirit people or nudist. But, please shave!
An other thing. Hehe on our windows there are always sitting pigeons, and for like 2 weeks ago one of them almost got into my room. Like 8 in the morning i scream cause there is a fucking pigeon on the way in!
Well my point is that for like 2 days ago i was standing in the kitchen. It was really warm so we had the window open all day. I was just doing my dishes when i hear that special annoying pigeon noice and i look up and: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the bird is in our kitchen! Not cool! Scary, tried to get to fly out wich it did after a couple of minutes. But it was funny tho!
Hmmm anything else weird I can tell......
Well the weather was sunny 2day but windy so even tho you are in the sun is not that warm ( typical Scotland) so after been frezzeing my ass of outside i decided to go to Arthurs seat instead. Cause i had borrowed a camera from a friend of mine.
So off i go and if it was windy on the ground the power of the wind when i got up there it was really scary cause it felt like you could lift of any moment. But beautiful pictures tho and some bruises and a scratched up hand. Just cause i wanted to go the "exciting" way down! The borrowed camera got a bit scratched as well but no harm done.
So i have decieded to buy a new camera cause i cant keep on borrowing from other people. But i cant decide wich one. And then i realised that if i buy one here i have to buy a converter for the plug in. Cause its not the same (vägguttag) wall thingy here as at home.
And 2day it was the Great Edinburgh Run here. Its a 10 km race and i just got really jealous of everyone running, cause i want to do it as well. I love running those races. I hate my knee.....
Well i guess thats all for now. Gonna have a night in 2nite, cause 2mrw im going out to dinner, its Mickes birthday. There is alot of people who is getting older now! Åsa and my dad on thursday and apparently its Brandons birthday as well on thursday. Busy busy
Take care
Love you loads
