LOL that really took me a while to work out!! :-) It really shouldn't have done should it!!

Job Update, I've got an Interview!! :-) Slightly off track from previous roles, as a Contemporary Dance Teacher. I studied a Dance Degree and never really persude it, perhaps thought I was too old. So whilstI have not been working I applied to something by off chance only a couple of evening hours and weekends.
My friend did quote earlier today "Dancer's always land on their feet" So fingers crossed I get something!! I'm really excited about this one. I can rehearse a dance routine whilst out in Ibiza too ;-)

Good Luck with the job hunting, but I think you dodged a bullet by missing the Groupon gig. I hope you find something soon, though.

Paris - do try & visit the Louvre, to see the Mona Lisa, (awesomely small & disappointing, but has to be seen), Place de la Concorde (grandest roundabout on earth), climb the steps to the top of the Arc & survey Paris in all it's beauty, with arrow straight Avenues in all direction like the spokes of a wheel, all of them with beautifully manicured trees, visit Gare du Nord to see how the French run their railways, travel on the Metro (runs on rubber wheels, interestingly), & try to pop into the ACF (Aviation Club de France) which is on the Champs Elysses, barely a stones throw from the Arc, & arguably the most civilised CardRoom in Europe.  Oh, & you have to go see this bizarre piece of architecture, which forms part of Le Defence.

Wiiii, vindicated by Gramps. About 34 years ago in RSQ 5 or something, I was told that La Defense was not a well-known Paris landmark. Been grumpy about it ever since.

   Counting on Gramps to rescue you all these years later?  That's pushing it!  Nice try though. 

Good luck with the job hunt and have a fab time in Ibiza!!!

You were fully entitled to be grumpy about that.

Whoever said such a daft statement? Tighty? Claw? Proper farcical that.

Stu

[MrsHopkino]

Stu

'gorgeous stu' will not be attending alongside me, as he has some important tournament to participate in and drink his winnings too ;-)

Though "Team StuFi" will be going away to Paris the following weekend, so we'll spend some lovely romantic time away together... blah blah blah ;-)

No, in all seriousness it's nice to have your own time, as you can appreciate being together more and still get up to lots of fun while you're apart! 

[George2Loose]

Is Stu a prince?

[MrsHopkino]

Is Stu a prince?

Haha there's a couple of definitions for my Stu, I would describe him to be more the frog than the prince ;-)
Though there is a funny little tale when we were at his sisters wedding on holiday in Malta, his Nan who I adore often calls me Fiona, not really sure where she gets it from and it always makes me giggle, as I'm happy to go along with this. One time she shouts Fiona and Stu's mum turns round and says Sophie, my response was it's OK I'm going out with Shrek anyway!! :-) unaware that this was being filmed and is now part of the wedding footage!! Lol
Later that day we're swimming and a boy comes over to us wanting to talk and play, he asks us our names, I respond Fiona and he automatically called  Stu Shrek!! Whatever I or anyone else calls him, I love him dearly and he likes the attention really :-)

Today for me is all about a mini shopping spree, meeting Mummy Mercer & Sissy who I like to call Madam Mercer in town today. 3 ladies with the usage of our Dads credit card..... Wednesday in town = late night shopping....  Ouch!! It'll be nice to catch up!! Stu's already put an order in for some more gym t-shirts.... He even mentioned he thinks he will be spending an extra half hour at the gym most nights, I can't imagine what he gets up to ;-) lol

[MrsHopkino]

Ibiza is calling my name!! Tomorrow I'll be jetting off to sunnyville :-)

My mate whose a Dj has told me on Friday night he's playing for the Staff Party- Shit Party!! which I'm invited too!! I'll prob be behind the boom box!!

He sent me this, which made me giggle - Shit Party 2010

Shrek, lol.

[StuartHopkin]

So it turns out there will be no Ibiza trip, as the flights are far too expensive etc. Mr Hopkino kindly informed me this morning that one of hos mates sisters is looking for a part timer to workin a tanning salon, seeing as I'm White as a sheep I jumped at the chance and hope I get to be able to assist and tanned at thesame time :-)
On the job front I've applied to several companies I.e Gala and TDX Group to work as their Internal Rectuiment Consultant though I don't feel at the moment any company is in a hurry to have a closing deadline date and start interviews.... So I'm just waiting and applying to other things.
Pretty gutted I didnt get to stage two of GroupOn, as the job did sound like fun!! :-(
Mr Hopkino and I go away to Paris next weekend and I've managed to persuade him that we should go Euro Disney, as I've been a couple of times before and its lots of good fun!! So if anyonehas any recommendations of places to go please let us know!!

shelley and I ate at buddah bar and it was by far the highlight of our trip to paris

Walk in or booking required? Not 100% sure on plans yet.
