  • Hi everyone, had another 4am start today so I'm vegging now. But I have come up with my November goals. I want to have 12 spend free days at work, that includes the shops by the train station, staff shop, canteen, everything! There's 17 work days left in the month so I will save my spending for said 4am starts where I can't function without fat coke and a fried egg sandwich.
    Also I just want to tick some things off my to do list.
    -Make an Oz scrapbook
    -Finish applying for 1 grad scheme and send speculative letter to 1 company.
    -Apply for travel scholarship

    Tete - love your blog photos, especially the graffiti cat and the river :)

    Glad you had fun Cinny, you def should enjoy it however you want to!

    I'm impressed by anyone who makes an xmas cake, however they do it! One of my best friends developed those supermarket kits Birdie :) So your Christmas success depends on her!

    Where are Dinah and Nim hiding today?!

    Ok Lara I've got exams coming up so maybe after them we could grab a christmassy Starbucks in December or something!? Very exciting!!

    archers I keep meaning to ask, and I've forgotton actually which field you want to work from but I've filled in lots of grad scheme forms and am very willing to help u in any way I can (proof reading, tips etc) if you need it!! I hated those "in 100 words or less tell me about a time when you worked in a team..." did I see on the Kurtz Geiger thread that you have got some new shoosies??!

    I was buried in work all day today, got in and more interviewing had been done on a job than expected so I had to get that out as it was already behind, then the client wanted a report on the data, same day (this one is NOT tolerant of delays for any reason and as the report was due today they wanted it today). Add on a LOAD of other stuff and I did the bones of a weeks work in 8 hours today.

    On the plus side I'm FINALLY back on the bike which leaves me feeling great.

    Hows everyone else?

    Ooh Tink that's really sweet, I may PM you some stuff if thats OK? I think my examples are ok but cutting answers down to 100 words mean I chop loads and I'm not sure the situations make sense if you don't know the background... I really could do with having some one cast an eye over them but my parents will just drone on and on and drive me mad! :)

    and yes, these are my new babies http://www.kurtgeiger.com/cairo-97.html the colours a bit more nude IRL though

    Good news you are back on the bike NIM!

    Loving the shoes Archers, got to love a pair of nude shoes to make your legs look long.

    Just trying to sort out all my paperwork as my drawer is overflowing with receipts etc.

    Really, Really?! With this and AWESOME I think you're trying to mess with my head, boy! Saw this while I was trawling the WWE shop earlier (yes, I'm a loser. But I ordered this!) and thought you might appreciate it!

    Holy Muffins Archers, those SHOES!! I've been hankering after a pair like that for ages, all summer. They're lovely!
  • Those shoes are super cute! I bought some like that, but mine were from New Look! One day I'll get some designer shoes - that I will put in the cupboard and look at every day!

    We finally finished my cupcakes today :( If anyone is interested what they look like, picture is below. If you're not interested - I've added it anyway! :p

    Nighty night all

    Honestly didnt clock it till you pointed it out. That said I used to do a legendary "FINALLY, The NIM has returned..." How awesome would that be as a gimmick? I think I'd even stand a chance against the taker purely for running out in blue body paint...uhoh, Cinny I think I'm in trouble lol
