Today, I decided to hell with it (as the pre-paid card still had not turned up) and went shopping for some clothes. I went up to Kingston (see below picture) which is about a 40 minute trip from my house and ended up buying a new polo, some trousers and a shirt for work. Not the best of shopping trips if I do say so myself! I also bought some hair dye; Dark Brown. Decided I wanted to re-dye my hair (although last time it was black. It is naturally dirty-blonde). I am going to go out again tomorrow to Hounslow (15 minutes or so) to get some more stuff.

Anyway, When I returned, I found an e-mail stating that my travel arrangements have been made for the first day (Great, first day). They said that they need some photo-id to do the other four weeks which I don't quite understand but okay! Anyway, they also said that they will be sending the pre-paid card to me next week. Sorry, but how is this helpful in anyway shape or form? Okay, yes. It is helpful as it's a free £200 and yes, I should be grateful that I am getting it anyway but seriously, I start on Monday, why would they send me a card to get clothes for a job the week I start the job. I'm not going to have time to go and get anything till the following Saturday so I will have to buy enough stuff for next week (which is pretty much all of it!). Hopefully, I can use the £200 on other things as well and it's not just situated to clothes. I can't imagine it is. As long as I have clothes and it gets used, all is well I suppose.
Off to see Rise of the Planet of the Apes tonight which I have been looking forward to for ages! If you live under a rock, then here is a trailer of it. Will write about how it was either by editting this blog tomorrow or I will shove it in the next one!
