Killing time at internet cafe

So Christmas was good, first one Ive had not with the family but that's ok, my cousin bought his girlfriend a sing star and that was the best part of the day by far, I got to get one of those!
I'm currently booking a train ticket to Manchester to meet up with some friends and do New Year up there. Lucky me, just found out that there is track work on all northern lines, so the 2 1/2 hour train ride there is going to take a minimum of 5 hours...good times!
I haven't got New years resolution yet..I'm thinking it will just be to travel a bit more , Ive got a check list of places that I need to cross off, my number 1 place to go whilst I am here is Morocco...so that's it...New Years resolution is to go to Morocco.

Also, just looking at some gossip pages...Nicole Kidman pregnant!!! WTF!!

over and out

I am out for a few weeks. Christmas with fam down South and New Year with friends up North. got a few fun things planned, drinking mulled wine ( its not wine with pot, its just hot wine, kinda gross), big lunches and afternoon naps.
Found out today that there is absolutely no scientific theory behind the 'Turkey makes you sleepy' so all those people who reakcon that after Christmas dinner everyone sleeps cause the turkey 'did it' its all crap.
Peace out and ill be back to my desk in the New Year

BANG


Check me bangs!! Or fringe for those not playing in America. So my New Years resolution was to cut my hair. Its getting to the end of the year so though it was due time to do something about the excessive amount of hair that I have, but to be honest going through with an actual hair cut was never going to happen - I am way to attached to my locks. This year, I've had trims, I've had layers, I've had it thinned and there even was a time when I died it a strange brown that went a bit cherry red but I just cant get the courage up to go the big chop. Instead I have gone for a fringe or bang or forehead curtain. It is in my eyes a bit but I really like it, I even managed to straighten it just like they did at the hair dressers and it looks the business, I really should of done this a long time ago. I was told today by some dude in my TV department at work that I have moved up from number 4 of hot girls in the office to number 1 !

good times all around


Thursday night:
Christmas party - it was not the most amazing night ever, kind went by in a blur and went by really fast. There was drinks a plenty and food was scarce, which equals lots of drunk peeps. Was supposed to go the Hello party after but had to take a drunk girl home, she passed out on my lap in the cab...always fun.
Friday:
Had the brains to take the day off, then forgot that the plumber was coming around so had to dash home like a mad woman to let him in. Know I don't drink tea or coffee , I've taken a bit of a stance on this and now no one offers because they will know that I will politely decline. But there was this plumber, and he was there for a while fixing stuff and he was English and I just had to offer him something so I offered him some tea. He accepted, then I thought it would be weird if I just made tea for him so I had to make tea for me to. Then I pretended to drink it, but had to run away up stairs so I could get rid of it and not actually have to. Then when he was done he kind of looked at me, then he looked at the kettle and then looked at me again....I showed him the door, I'm sorry but one cup of tea out of me was good enough ,2 is just being greedy!
Saturday:
Got a last minute ticket to the chemical brothers, it was a bit good. Heaps of peakers and made me feel a bit out of the cool loop as I didn't really know there new stuff then spent 2 hours getting home - it ws nightmare. There are 8 million people in London and 22,000 cabs no good odds.
Sunday:
The last Parkinson was on. I really like Parkinson and his simple set, no fancy lights or anything and I will really miss his show. There were guests a plenty and even Dame Edna was representing, it was the last 'interviewing' one, next week is the final final and they are doing a recap of the last million episodes so Ive saved my tears for that.

£250 is the same as $625 - yowza!

So sarcasm is the lowest form of wit, I don't know what the highest form is, or if there is another saying like that for getting compliments but any way im making this one up...'The best compliment is a job offer'.
I was out last night for a drink with one of my reps and he was asking a few questions, Are you happy? How long you staying for? How much money do you get? How much money would you want? Would you swap sides to sales? All these questions can only lead to one thing....'Do you want a job?
Interesting proposition but don't think I am sales girl material, not sure if him telling me that I would be great at it cause I am nice & pushy at the same time is really all that flattering but still. Actually really like my current job, really like the fact that I just got my Christmas present - £250 voucher for Selfridges! Leather All Saints hand bag and Prada Sunnies here I come!

Ziga Ziga ah x 2

Didn't make it ice skating last night, went a film quiz instead. We came second - which sucks , no one remembers who comes second. The prize was a complete home sound system which was massive and I was spewing we lost - there was 2 answers between us and the idiots that won - so frustrating!
Anyway, got invited to the Spice Girls again - so am now going twice...Ill quit at 4 time its going to be rad.

The time of my Life

Last night went to see Dirty Dancing the musical and as my friend from Essex would say, it was the nuts!
Honestly, I have seen the movie over 100 times and I realised last night that I know pretty much every word, every song and every dance move.
There were a few random bits that were thrown in there, like everyone sitting around the camp fire...random, and the mum having a go at Baby for lying to her Dad - news to me.
Half the cast, including Johnny, were Australian which just makes it 17 times better.
Tonight, its Ice Skating at the Natural History museum, its been a few years between figure 8's but should be fun.
