So, I’m in a slightly better mood. Looking forward to getting back to the routine of work (though I’d prefer it without the work bit).

Prince Charming’s friend’s mum died last night. So unbelievably sad but I’m glad she’s at peace now and that the family aren’t in limbo anymore. If you can spare some kind thoughts, please take a moment for her family.

I know that New Years resolutions don’t tend to work out well, and I’m not sure there’s ever been one that I’ve stuck to. But…I’m hoping that by writing them here you guys might help me to stick to them. They’re pretty standard:

  1. Lose weight. I desperately need to lose weight. I’m hoping to be back down to a size 8/10 by the summer. Only a stone or so to lose. It’s achievable, it just means that I may have to cut down on the snacking, takeaways and wine for a while. Plus if I lose weight I can fit back in to my old clothes which will save me from buying any more which will help me to:
  2. Save money. I want to be able to move in with Prince Charming at some point. I also want to own a house by the time I’m 30. Apparently you need money for that. Who knew?!
  3. Learn to drive. Yes I’m in my mid-twenties. And no, I’ve still not got my license. I will do by the end of the year though!
  4. Spend more time doing stuff. Let me explain. I’m pretty lazy. I have to admit, I spend most Sundays doing nothing. I read blogs, sometimes write my own, surf the internet and watch films. To me that’s heaven but I do realise most people would be bored stiff. I’ve got to shake myself out of it so from now on, I’ll only allow myself to do it if I’ve already been for a run or done some sort of exercise.

Please, please, please hold me to them. I’ll keep you updated on progress. What are yours?

New Years eve was good for me, had friends over, sang sing star, drank champagne all night. My perfect NYE. I was at one point heard to say “I wish I could have champagne on an IV drip.” Pretty much sums it up! How was yours?

…makes Tink a grumpy lady.

Not happy, it’s the fifth time since March that our boiler has packed up. I’m paying rent for a house I can’t live in at the moment and am having to live with Prince Charming. Much as I love that, I don’t love wasting money.

Me = grumpy

However, it is only 2 more sleeps until Christmas, I don’t have to be back in the office until the 5th January and I plan to spend a lot of time catching up on sleep over the break.

Plus, I’ve had a week of pretty much free booze at work. Love it!

 

Champagne Haze October 18, 2008

Such a gorgeous day today. I’ve even got washing drying on the line, in mid-October. Whoever says global warming doesn’t affect us is crazy!

I was drining champagne last night. Quite a lot of champagne. Started after work when we were celebrating a big win, our chairman put his card behind the bar and then we carried on after he left.  Then I had to leave to go and meet Prince Charming, his friend and the friend’s girlfriend. Seeing as I’d started on the champers I thought I’d carry on. Maybe those last two were a mistake. Suffering a bit today though.

I don’t mind too much though because it’s sunny and because Carrie and Samantha aren’t in tonight so I have the house to myself with Prince Charming and we get to spend the whole day together tomorrow!!

So, I sent my CV over to the rival company who’d head hunted me. Haven’t heard anything yet and I’m getting more and more nervous by the day. Now that I’m in the mind set of leaving my job I’ve also started looking for others. I’m not desperate to leave but I’m going to start putting the feelers out there to see what’s around. Anyone got any jobs going as an Account Mananger / Press Officer doing charity work?!
