I predict that washing your hair in the bath is no fun.

My house is old, its a big ol three story town house thing. In a row of other town houses, kinda like you see in Paddington in Sydney.
It has big rooms, wood floors and massive windows. It also has a shower that does not work.
We had an electrician come around yesterday to do some routine safety check and he discovered that our shower was not safe. So he turned it off at the main switch and took out a part so we could not even use it if we tried to rebel and risk electrocution.
The short of it is that we now can only have baths.
Baths are only good when you are 5 years old.
I had a boyfriend who only had a bath not a shower and that is pretty much the reason why we broke up.
Baths are for relaxing, sitting back, no braining it and unwinding not cleaning and hurrying to get ready in time, there is no relaxing at 7 in the morning. Baths are definitely not for washing hair in, especially when you have hair down to your knees like me.
My sink is to small I can't even begin to think how I would do it in there and there is no sink in the laundry, man its going to be a fun time.
Plumber is coming on Monday, if he doesn't fix it I am moving out.
Only good thing is that I went bananas at the real estate saying that it was my legal requirement as a tenant to have a working shower so I am going to stop paying rent till its fixed, I will be living in London for free, Ill show that real estate agent that I am not to be messed with and that baths make me angry.

Nothing exciting is happening

So had 4 days off for Easter it was good. I am not to sure but I now think it is possible to eat to much curry. I live right near Brick Lane which is curry capital and brilliant, over the course of the weekend I had 3 meals of curry...is that wrong? It is so good and cheap and kind healthy - its just vegetables and rice... so I don't see the harm.
All in all, Easter was a bit of a non event, the Easter bunny didn't stop past my house, must of got lost , highlight was the fact that it snowed and they play High School Musical on tv.
When I think Easter I usually think daffodils and sun shine and butter cups but instead I got snow and a Disney movie - oh well. The snow feel out of the sky as snow, but unfortunately it hit the ground and melted as rain, still I caught a bit on my hand and it was great and at least now I now why Zac Effron is famous.

Oh saw 2 of the 3 Sugar Babes on Thursday, they are short and not that great.

You know I love famous people.

They are rad and after my breakfast on Friday with Kathleen Turner which I was still gloating from, I went out on Friday night for 1 drink with my friend Jarrod. I was a bit tired after along week so it was one drink, two at the absolute maximum. That never works and after a few beers and at the pub , then a quick meal in China town we end up at this crazy pub in the east end till 3/4 in the morning. Some friend of a friend was there and it turned out to Be a tops night, best bit was meeting my new best friend...Kelle Jones from Bloc Party.
What a cool guy, we just got chatting and I was thinking he was familiar then he was telling me about his band and that he was just in Sydney touring and I asked a few questions and put two and two together and bingo,I had just spent the last 3 hours talking to a supper rock star.
Nothing funny as he is a gayer, but he was super nice and when he told me it was great to meet me and he hoped to see me again soon and he remembered my name - I nearly cried. What a top man, Jarrod suggested I ask for his number but nah, this way I will have the good memory of a great night and fingers cross I can bump into him again.

Breakfast in my new lunch

I always get people ringing me asking to take me to lunch, I do not want to sound ungrateful but I don't have the time. Going to lunch is part of the job, they way it works is...they take me to lunch, we get along , I buy advertising off them.
What evs, this doesn't and has never been the way I operate, you can take me to the fanciest place that costs a motza or buy me the best sandwich in town and you will still not see a cent of my budget.
Some of the tools that I work with go to lunch all the time and it erks me, they come back drunk and then mess up plans and make to much noise.
So, I keep putting off the lunches, people keep calling me, 'When we going to lunch'..'Are you free for lunch'..'How about a quick lunch'..it drives me mental. So as an alternative to lunch I am now saying that I will swap and instead do a breakfast.
Everyone likes breakfast, there is plenty of variety. It can be hot and cooked or cold and fruity. You can get just toast or cereal or sometime waffles with blueberries and maple syrup. I like getting up early so it works for me.
This week I had two breakfast meetings, both at swanky hotels both were ridiculously over priced, not that I paid but my eggs royal this morning had a hefty price tag of £15.00
The best bit was, that half way though my fruit juice two ladies walked in from the hotel and sat at the table next to me...one of them was Kathleen Turner. Now she is way famous, the biggest celeb I have seen, she ate brown toast with 2 poached eggs and she had a cappuccino.
She looked good in her valour tracksuit and her awesome voice was just mesmerising, I cant work out if she has been chaining a thousand durries or if she just sounds like that naturally. either way, she is rad, I was star struck and from now on I am only going to breakfasts at that hotel because the girl I was with said last time she was there, Jud Law was there as well so its a sure fire celeb haunt. Bacon & eggs and a celeb - sounds like plan!

Work experience

I never got to do work experience at school. I do not know why but my year at school just never got around to it. If I had got to do it, I would of like to do work experience at the Zoo, lor work at cosmopolitan magazine like everybody else.
At my work now, we get lots of work experience kids, they are called graduates. They come in, faff about help with the filing then go back to Uni and finish their degree.
Sometimes they are a help other times they get in the way, but bottom line is I am not to bothered, I try to teach them things, give them tips and advice and answer their questions about Australia and how long I have been growing my hair.
Today there is a new girl, now at first I though, oh she is just another work experience girl but I have found out that her dad bought her a week work experience at an auction. You want to know how much he paid...£7000!!!! For one week!!!
That is a total joke, all she is doing is getting deadlines and filing bookings - not rocket science and her daddy paid 7 big ones for the privilege. Fair enough if it was work experience on the Moon or work experience shopping with Gwen Steffani then I would totally cough up the smackers. Stupid rich people with too much money, next time Ill take your £7000 and do something worth while with it like pay for permanent straight hair or 23 and 1/3 pairs of Louboutins.

Falling down is no fun

This morning I fell down, it was embarrassing and hurt like hell. On the way to a super big meeting, dressed in my business get up, walking along and for noooooo reason, all of a sudden I am on all fours on the floor.
No banana skins, no wet tiles, nothing. I just stacked it for no reason.
To make it worse, it was in front of a heap or people who all stopped to look at me on the floor with my skirt up around my ears, hair every where and my bottle of water and muffin strewn across the pavement. A nice lady came to help me up and offered me a tissue.
I ripped my stockings on my knees, I scuffed the toes of my new shoes and grazed my hands.
Worst bit, was having to sit through a boardroom meeting with my ripped tights, a limp and blood pouring out of my knee...well not pouring, but there was blood, that's not professional at all.

Stuff

I had a work conference at the end of last week, it was all about outdoor. Really, how much is there to it...posters, billboards that is about it. You think 2 days out of the office would be fun, then you get back on Monday and you have 119 emails and 27 phone messages. What part of my voicemail that said 'I am out till Monday, press 0 to go back to reception' do these people not understand?? Leaving me messages that say ' I have to hear from you before Friday..I am not here you idiot!
So at the conference I won a bottle of champagne, seeing a theme here...and a play station portable, which is going straight on eBay. Still not sure how I won it, I am pretty sure I wrote down the wrong answer but oh well, I ain't telling no one.

Also, flatmates mother is STILL at my house. Its been weeks and I am on the verge of murder. She is doing my freaking head in , with her complaining and questioning, seriously lady if you do not like our house then you can leave, no one, and not even your son is going to make you stay. On Saturday she was pissing and moaning about the hot water pipe, that fact there is zero water pressure in the kitchen.
To be honest, it is not a big deal, its fine with me, its fine with other flat mates, it takes a little while to fill the sink but there she is, complaining how long it takes and commenting on how old the house is, and the old pipes blah blah blah.
And the best bit...which has me intrigued. In the bathroom we have a mop and bucket , just standard issue for moping the floor. And every couple of days the bucket goes walking, then the next day it is back again. Now come on, what is this crazy woman doing with my bucket???
Why does she sometimes take it, why does she put it back...it baffles me and annoys me at the same time.
And she keeps putting stuff back in the wrong place, the pots belong in the cupboard where all the other pots are you lunatic, why do you think that they should be put on the shelf? Are there other pots there? Do you think we will benefit from putting the pots there? Why lady, why?
