A post a day...

What a week! Again!


I feel like the last few months have just flown by, but at the same time, I've been wishing away the 9-5 just for the 2 days of freedom that the weekend brings. I have a feeling I'm not the only one who feels that way either... I did do something productive this week though, I joined a gym! I've been twice already, and I'm really enjoying it. The fact that it's £14.99 a month makes it a lot less painful. I will let you know how it goes, but so far so good. 


The boyf is working really hard at the moment, and I've got to be honest, I hate it! I know in the long term its great for the both of us and the "grown up" buying a house plan, but I hardly get to see him even though we live in a tiny flat! There is nothing I can do about it, its just the situation with his work, and it will get better soon..just got to suck it up. Doesn't make it any easier though. Booo hooo! To make me feel better I've attached this picture of us at Bestival. What an awesome festival that was! 

On a lighter note (but no less annoying) I have a ball to go to next week (WAHOO FREE CHAMPERS!) and can I find a dress to wear?! NO. They are all a)too slutty and body-con (great for Saturday night, not so much for a ball with your bf and his super giant corporate employers) b) really expensive - I tried on one dress in FC and it was in the sale. The price? £112. It was plain black and slightly backless. So completely worth it... and finally c) they ALL look the same.  Maybe I'm just being picky, but I don't want a tight-fitting fushia body con ruffled dress. Or to be in debt. I'm sure find something in my wardrobe or end up running in to Topshop on Oxford Street the night before, cursing because nothing fits my midget self. Woe is me.

PS. Christmas is just 24 days away....PANIC!

No longer a blogging virgin!

I have joined the blog world. Wooohooo! 

This has been on the cards for quite some time now, but to be honest, writing a blog made me a bit scared. Twitter, Facebook, even LinkedIn don't bother me. Maybe its the short "status" style format that gives me the confidence to broadcast my thoughts and opinions, but give me a blank screen and suddenly I panic. I can't think of any thought I've ever had in my whole entire life. This is not going to be easy!

...3 minutes later, and I've calmed down. I'm not a retard and I can actually think. Well done me!!  But over the next few months I will most likely be writing my company's brand new blog and although its going to be quite formal and the most of the content will be handed to me each week, I thought it'd be stupid of me to go in there blind, not knowing how these things really work.

I read a few blogs on a regular basis, but it was one blogger (who I know in real life) in particular that encouraged me to go for it. I suppose it was the reassurance that some of the things I talk about are interesting, and sometimes funny! 

I will try to post regularly, and about relevant stuff, but I warn you now, I like nothing more than Jenson Button and how tyre strategies are going to effect a Grand Prix in Korea; and of course, animals in fancy dress/rabbits show jumping. So if you think you can cope with that randomness, watch this space! 

I leave you with this, an amazing song called Miles. I could listen to it all night.

Its by my mate's little brother, he sung it at their wedding and its utterly beautiful. Please get behind him, he knocks the socks off the likes of Misha B et al.
