Rebecca of Sweden

I have now started an online shop which sell jewellery. Feel free to check it out, i do shipping all around the globe and all jewellery is hand made by myself. I am very proud of myself for doing this and I am a little scared as well. Some orders will help my confidence, just saying. haha.

Would mean the world if you had a quick look. :)

Friday!

It's finally friday again, not that it matters that much to me as i don't have a job at the moment. But it means i get to cuddle my boyfriend for 2 days. :) So i've hada retty productive day today, applied for a few jobs and done some house work and stuff. I am just about to start reading a little bit in my book (I taket lyser stjärnorna). Not dure if it's been translated into any other languages, but if so you should read it. It's about a 14 year old (i think) and her mum suffers from breast cancer. Really good book, and film!

Ah well, that's it for now, have a great weekend, and if you have any jobs goinf around Mariestad/Skövde, let me know! haha.

Productive day

I'd say i've had a pretty productive day so far. Started the day with some breakfast and a shower, done some washing, sorted out a lot of bank and CSN stuff. cooked some food and now done some more washing and now I'm posting a blog. Great, also watched the latest episode of Made in Chelsea. I think it's my absolute favourite show of all times. haha. Best thing about England! (not really).

Now in the afternoon i'll work on my catalogue and my website for Rebecca of Sweden - my jewllery collection. Exciting times ahead! You'll be the firs ones to know when the website is live!

All charities are scams.

Oh hey, blogging more today that i have all last month i think. yey me! anyway I have started to realize how many itiots i have on my facebook friends list. So now every time i see someone post something redicoulously stupid i just delete them straight away - no 2nd chances. These are all people i don't really know anyway so it's not like they will even notice.

Anyway this morning i started reading my facebook as always and i came across some sort of article about the ingredients in a vaccine. I did not read the article because her post annoyed me too much for me to even click on it. But basically it had some cells from a dogs kidney or something in it and also some cells from a plasenta (don't know what animal).

This might not seem very cool at first, i mean dog cells and things.. but at the same time, you do not have to kill a person to get some cells do you? then i'm sure they don't go around killing dogs to get their cells. Dogs lick each others arses all the time and they seem perfectly fine, i would happily have some of their immune system or cells or whatever.

My boyfriend couldn't help himself and got invloved in this discussion and asked the girl what the issue was as she eants chicken nuggets, meatballs and vegetables sprayed with God knows what. Everyone knows whats in nuggets and meatballs.. It's the meat and pieces of the animal noone will use for anything else.. Also this "friend" of mine eat eggs.. so one would think eating a plesenta should be perfectly fine?

As if shit isn't bad enough, she is now saying we should all stop giving money to cances charities as people still die of it and it's just a billion dollar industry and it's all a scam. I am sure there is small pice of truth in that statement but what the actual fuck... How many lives have been saved because of cancer research? How far have we got from giving money to chairity?

Young children still die of thirst in Africa, should we stop giving money to that as well? Absolutely not! This girl need to sort her head out and get a grip. She is making herself look like an absolute idiot on facebook and what she's saying makes no sense.

Should we stop making stairs? people die falling down stairs!
Should we stop having water in our homes? people die in the bath!
Should we stop buying cars maybe? i bet more people die in car accidents than of cancer.

Anyway, she got deleted.
This is not the first person i have deleted because of stupid posts this week.

Another example is a girl (also) who posted a "news" article from a quite racist news website.
This article was saying that everyone moving to Sweden will get 30 000kr a month for doing absolutely mothing. (30 000kr = £3000). This is absolute bullshit. And i beleive that anyone reading anything on that website and beleive what they read are all idiots. You can't go to a website called something like wehateblackpeople.com and think they aren't racist and take in what they say. If you do, i just don't want anything to do with you.

Let me tell you somwthing, my boyfriend just moved from england to Sweden, he is keeping his english job and he does not have a personnummer yet. without that he can't get anything. NOTHING.

The truth is, if you add every benifit you can possibly get, that's about 30 000.. but a lot of these can't be combined, therefor there is no way you can get this much money without having an actual job. I think the average amount of money you can get without having a job in Sweden if you just arrived is about 8000kr. Which is not very much as food and things are pretty expencive here..

May i also point out that this girl who posted this has no job and did not go to school for as many years as "normal" people. She is clearly not very bright and i feel a little bit sorry for her and her stupid little brain.

Sorry about this blogpost, i am not going to spell check this as i don't feel like it at the moment, remember english is not my first langage so i think i've done pretty well! haha.

This is all my oppinion and the ladies i have been writing about can ofcourse have their own oppinion if they want - even if it is stupid! Hopefully next time i blog it will be more of a happy blogpost! haha. see you sooon.

God Morgon

Good morning, just sitting here with my brand new laptop. Absolutely love it, touch screen and everything. haha. At the momennt i'm looking at some furniture for our flat online, we might be able to move in this week so I need to sort this put. I'm eally looking forward to moving to our own place. Not that i don't like it at my dads it's just hard to go from living alone together and then go back to living with the family. I'm sure we'll be over here quite a lot though. Sofia makes good food so it would be rude not to! haha. Anyway, time to get some work done!

And because i love my laptop cam so much, here are some pictures from 5min ago!

Starta eget

Känner ni också hur min blogg har ändrat språk nu när jag är tillbaka i Sverige? haha det är inte meningen men man ändrar liksom allting, kommer på mig själv att prata svenska med Carl mer också nu - stackarn! Men iallafall, jag har bestämt mig för att starta eget, vet bara inte på hur stor skala än liksom. Hoppas på att någon smart där ute kan ge mig lite tips och råd när de läser detta. :)

Utöver detta så har jag cyklat fram och tillbaka till Mariestad idag. 14km sammanlagt, hemvägen var uppför och i motvind, mindre behagligt kanske. Men det gick bra ändå, är ju hemma nu. Ahja nu ska jag kolla på Housewives of beverly hills och drömma mig bort. Hejdå.

Hire me! / Anställ mig!

Jag har nu varit arbetslös i en vecka. Jag försöker att hålla mig sysselsatt under dagarna men det är inte så lätt som man kan tro. Jag försöker också att göra detta och samtidigt inte titta på tv eller sitta på facebook hela dagarna. Än så länge så har jag inte tittat på tv alls under normala arbetstider. Facebook har jag ju på mobilen så det plingar till lite då och då. Det stör mig verkligen inte att inte titta på tv eftersom att jag inte brukade göra det i England heller men det är ibland svårt att hitta på saker och då är tv:n ett bra alternativ. 

Jag har sökt en hel del jobb nu senaste månaden men knappt hört något alls tillbaka, lite tråkigt men jag försöker att vara positiv och hålla humöret uppe. Bara man fortsätter att söka jobb och försöka hitta på egna saker man kanske kan göra också så kommer det nog något snart. Det jag sökt mest är kontorsjobb och jobb som personlig assistent. Jag har aldrig jobbat som assistent förr men det skulle vara så otroligt roligt och givande att jobba med. Jag har ju jobbat som support och receptionist förr så det är något jag kan och känner mig väldigt självsäker med. 

Det som är det största problemet med att söka jobb som personlig assistent är att jag inte har något körkort. Det är ganska ofta så att det är ett krav eftersom att brukaren antingen inte kan köra själv på grund av funktionshinder eller inte har åldern inne helt enkelt, eller båda! Och gillar man att hitta på saker så är det ju bra om assistenten har bil och körkort och köra dit man ska.. Men jag får väl ta och börja plugga helt enkelt. Körkort är ju bra att ha för andra saker också. :) 

Kände bara för att skriva av mig lite, vi hörs lite senare eller en annan dag. Hejdå. 

Moving back to Sweden

I can't believe the luck we've had so far with our move. But at the same time it is so much more complicated moving to Sweden than to England, and people in Sweden keep saying "People just walk in here, there is no stopping it!" Well now i know for sure that that's not true at all.

For example the waiting time to get a personal number in Sweden is 6-8 weeks, without this number you can't do anything. I mean it, you can't even get a library card. And the only reason Carl will be getting one is because he is working so he will need to pay Swedish tax eventually.

We have had some issues getting a flat because Carl doesn't have this number, i do, but i don't have a job in Sweden yet. Carl is the one with the job, i am the one with the number. But this has finally been resolved thanks to the greatest dad in the world.

So up to now our move has been going as smooth as it possibly could. Fingers crossed nothing bad happens the next couple of weeks. I can't wait till all the papers are signed, Carl has his number and he can stay in Sweden forever if he would like, till we have our flat and are proper set up.

Two weeks tomorrow, then we leave England - for now anyway.

Pub Wednesday

So, I only just realized i only have another 3 pub Wednesdays left in England. We have already decided what pubs we are going to these last 3 weeks, but I can't believe we're leaving for Sweden in less than four weeks. I mean i know i only have 17 days left to work but that still sounds like quite a few days.. But 3 pub Wednesdays, we need to pick our dub dinners carefully from now on. Haha.

It's a new start.

Looked at my phone today and my countdown says it's 34 days till me and Carl move to Sweden. People keep asking me if I'm excited about going back home, to be close to my family and friends again. I am, but I'm also sad leaving my friends and family here. I like it here. I love it here, but we both think Sweden will be better for us. And besides, with Carl's family living here and Carl still working for Procure Wizard we'll be back over all the time. And for everyone who's never been to England - It's an awesome holiday place if you like shopping and relaxing in pubs with some friends.

The other thing people ask me is what am I going to do in Sweden. To be honest i have no idea. I have a project I've just started, well it's a company but it's not registered yet so I'll call it a project till it's started up properly. It's also a bit of a secret but you'll find out what it is pretty soon.

But clever as I am, I know starting up a company won't be enough money to live on so I will need another job as well. I'm looking at the moment but I find it really hard writing my CV. My job I'm doing now is hard to describe, it says System support in my contract but i do everything really. I don't think system support is a fitting role title for my job anymore. And I don't really know where to start looking for jobs. What do i go for? Do i settle for a job is a shop like Asda or do i go for it and apply for jobs where i see myself growing and getting somewhere in life?

All it makes me think is how lucky I was to get the job I have now. It's a great job and I'm in the same office as my boyfriend. And I'm actually surprised how well it's worked. I mean not everyone can be around their partner 24/7 without going insane. Haha. I guess it just works when you're crazy in love and happy with each other.

I am really looking forward to going to Sweden, it's like we're starting over, making our lives better. I think our lives will have a better quality in Sweden. If you think about jobs and starting your own thing Sweden is ideal. Sweden supports the small people to do good. I really like that. Sweden is also a lot better when it comes to housing and starting a family. Not that I am plopping out a little one anytime soon but you know at some point in the next couple of years it will probably happen.

I think Sweden will be really good for us. I think it's the right decision and I am really looking forward to it.

This is Mariestad, a small city pretty close to Gothenburg, this is where we will start our lives in Sweden.
