I have...

2007-03-12T17:08:13Z

A new flat... These pics SO do not do it justice but here we have the front of the apartment block

Ours is the top apartment which is those top 3 windows - we're calling it our penthouse! For any Swindonians reading this is in Churchward which is the new build near the Outlet village. Really nice area which suits my snobby side!

This is some of teh living room but it actually goes a lot further back from where the person was standing and in this pic it looks really dak which it isn't... also you can't see here just how nicely it's decorated but it is lush...

That's all the pics I could find online, I'll put more up to show off once I move in.

My room however has an en-suite bathroom, 4 poster bed and is just lush!

I might be a little (ok a lot) excited about this xx

Lol... matching shoes

I can't believe I was allowed to listen to this when I was a child. I lived on my Madonna tapes. She was such a ho!!

2007-02-24T14:35:29Z

So... I'm at work... on a Saturday! *headdesk*

Luckily for me I got a huge payrise and bonus which in a way compensates for being here now! I'm not supposed to be here mind you... just here as I have too much work on and need to catch up!

It's kinda cool though having this huge office to myself. I have my Ipod on and old OLD madonna (Immaculate collection) blaring out... I can sing along...

Romeo and juliet, they never felt this way I bet, so don't under-estimate my point of Vieeeeeeeeeeew... cherish....

Yeah...

Maybe I should go home!

I can't actually sing. Who am I kidding!

BOREDDDDD!!!

I need some straight talking

I'm quite freaking out at the moment and someone needs to tell me I'm stupid and shut me up with facts that show I'm being silly!

Firstly someone send a letter bomb to one of our London Offices this morning. No-one was seriously hurt but I'm freaking out in case someone has a vendetta agaisnt the company and does anything else

Secondly the HN51 outbreak in the UK has been bothering me all weekend and I'm freaking out about the possibilty of a flu pandemic

This added to the whole climate change stuff has got me jumpy like a whore on crack!

:(

Woo - Check out the retro userpics I found on here!

Today I'm not so much liking being at work. My keyboard is being gay and I can't get a replacement as they've stopped ordering them as we're changing the PCs we use and the new ones have USB ports whereas my current one that the old style. SO at the moment my left and right arroes don't work and neither do my delete keys so please ignore the typos - I can't corrcet them. Grrrr.

I used my workout DVD yesterday and this morning and OMG it's so tough. The steps are easy but it's so intense... or maybe I;m just REAL unfit? But is Janice Battersby can do it then so can I!

I'm making Quorn Fajitas for dinner today which should be yum. Can't wait

An update

2007-01-29T12:36:51Z

Here goes. I've not updated for a while. I mean actually updated - Not posting cam-whore pictures of myself!!

So, what's new?

I booked my holiday this year. Chris and I have two sunny weeks planned in Florida. We fly out on the 7th July. Staying at the "Quality Inn Plaza" which is right on I-Drive and is opposite Pointe Orlando and FAO Shwartz whoch is THE most amazing toy shop...

If you look at these you'll see the doors under the Barbie sign. It puts into perspective the size of the HUGE toys that decorate and surrond the shop

We're doing all the parks inc

Disney Magic Kingdom - Big Thunder Mountain, Splash Mountain, Space Mountain,Parades and Cinderella Castla etc etc
Disney MGM - Aersmith Rock N Roller Coaster, Tower of terror, Star Tours etc
Disney Animal Kindom - New ride called edpedition everest, Dinosaur, Safari and the tree of life etc
Disney Epcot - Mission: Space, Test track and the AWESOME world Showcase
Universal Studios - JAWS, Twister, Back to the Future, MIB: Alien Attack etc
Islands of Adventure - Hulk, Duelling Dragons, Jurassic Park and Spiderman etc
Seaworld - SHAMU, Kraken, Atlantis and all the shows etc
Busch Gardens - Montu, Kumba, Gwatzi, SheiKra (200ft Vertical drop - Eek.Oblivion is just 65ft) etc

On top of this we're having dinner at the Pirates dinner show, going to the Hard Rock Cafe AND Taking excursions to the Everglades AND Miami! ... Oh and let's not forget the shopping :D

Evidently I'm quite excited aboutall of the above! Last time I went I was still too young to drink in the States so I'm looking forward to being able to go to pubs and bars and experiences the nightlife as well.

In keeping with tradition of girls frantically dieting before a holiday I'm on the whole healthy eating thing. I've also invested in Vicky entwisle (janice battersby from Corrie)'s Work out DVD which has had AMAZING reviews and which help her get from a size sixteen to a size six. My friends mum who's been using it for a week doing it everyday lot 8lbs last week. It's like an hour workout a day which includes such wonderfully named workouts as Fat Burner, Body Toner AND Belly Shrinker (mmmm catchy).If all goes to plan I'll be ship shape in no time.

Other than that I'm still loving my promotion nearly a year in and am doing rather well if I do say so myself and I have a little bit of pink hair again

Chris and I were planning on going camping in August as we can't afford a big holiday this year.

Yesterday Chris's mum and dad booked and paid for a hotel stay in bournemouth for us instead that week.

Their reasons were:

1 - To thank us for the help we gave with Richard and Sarah's wedding (which was saturday and was an amazing day)
2 - To thank me for making their son so happy

I cried!

It's no secret that I don't have a big, close family and them making this gesture just to thank us was completely overwhelming!

I'm very happy today. I've had a throat infection for about 2 week which they'bve just tested for glandular fever but I'm feeling a lot better today!

Things with Chris and I are still as spangly as ever. He's truly the most astounding guy I've ever met. He's put up with me crying pretty much non-stop since I became ill and he puts up with all my "jemmaisms", he never complains when I'm unreasonable and I really don't give him as much credit as he deserves. I'm a very difficult person to love but he does it so well!

I've lost the stone I put on since meeting Chris and all is good!

I hope you're all well

xx
