Today I have been into Slough with my friend Sean, in attempt to get some more Christmas shopping done. I'd say it went reasonably well, as I managed to buy earrings for two of my three friends from college, and bought three books for three of my friends: a drinking games book, a chat up lines book, and a where's Wally book. I've still got to shop for my best friend Lean, one friend at college, and I may buy more presents for those that I have already bought something for but feel is not enough. The Slough shopping centre is rather large, however there wasn't much diversity of things to purchase as Christmas gifts. It was my first time going into the Slough Tesco, which is ridiculously large and has just about everything you need in there. I enjoyed my trip in Slough, however the bus back made me feel robbed, as it cost me £5.
I've had a call from my best friend tonight, on some advice for a problem she has at work. She keeps being chatted up by one of her managers, and has taken it jokingly up until today. He has been very intimate with her, coming in very close distance of her face and telling her that he would love to kiss her. The manager already has a girlfriend, and this is no way to treat a staff member, especially as he is her manager and thus leaving her in a very awkward position. I suggested that she talked to someone who is at a higher importance than him, however she doesn't want to get him into any serious trouble. This is a very good oportunity for her to get a pay rise or special benefits, although that would be using people on both of their halves.
I've sadly had no contact with my friend Alex for the past few days, leaving me to believe he may be dead or in hospital. Of course the likeliness is that he isn't in any of those positions, but still it gives me worries that I've seen no action from him in the past few days. I think it's most likely down to him being 'too busy' to contact me, as he's had his birthday recently and lately has been around friends a lot.
I'm planning to quit smoking for new years (once again). It gives me a good reason to quit, as it's obviously something I should do as it's clearly unhealthy, and it will give me a big boost on my available money. I've planned it slightly, that I slowly cut down. From the 4th of December to the 6th I will only have six cigarettes each day, from the 7th to the 11th I will have only five cigarettes each day, and following on with one less cigarette a day for five days, until I get to the 31st of December where I will be having my last cigarette of the year, and hopefully all the years to follow. Sadly I believe it to be very unlikely that I'll quit for long, as something stressful always comes up when I'm in the process of recovery. I'd love to stick to my non-smoke life, and I will try hard.
