So much has happened since I last really logged onto here, I managed to secure *the dream job* Wedding planner though sadly it wasn't what it seemed... therefore I decided to walk away and look for something else. Having been through a roller-coaster ride of a journey I am now officially a pro at Presentations / Psychometric Tests / Medical Questionnaires and Application forms. I managed to secure a role as a Business Development Manager for a company based in West Bridgeford - Nottingham. My role involves travelling nationally and wearing high heels again :-) So I am happy with the overall outcome, it has been tough and it's made me realise that I wil value this job more than anything! I start there this Thursday, so it is literally countdown for me now! :-)
Other than job hunting, eating rubbish and not exercising Stu and I went to Vegas for Christmas and New Year. it was an amazing experience, in total we went to see 5 shows! Peepshow, Phantom of the Opera, Circ De Soliel 'Le Reve' (My fav!), Penne and Teller and Frank Marino. Each show was special in it's own way! The costumes and scenery were immense! and i think Stu enjoyed it when they were serving drinks, whilst watching the performance! I don't remember all the names of the places we went to eat, though I remember have a lovely meal at Tao - there sort of cuisine isn't something I would usually go for... the service was impeccable and we often felt like royalty! I thoroughly enjoyed walking down the strip and amusing myself on the fruit machines (every morning) and played a little roulette here and there, i especially enjoyed 3x card poker!! $1 a drink - happy days!! for one of the days we decided to visit the outlet stores, i have never seen anything like it!! My favourite shop Ted Baker was there with this years designer clothes (a dress, which would have cost me in the uk £160 was $25!) Therefore I bought 4x of the same style different colours. I was in my element! By the end of the day Stu was dragging me around.... we actually ended up having to purchase another suitcase to go home with!!
We didn't visit the Grand Canyon or Old Vegas (an excuse to return again, me thinks!)
This year we have arranged a long weekend away in Spain at the beginning of March and i am really looking forward to going!! Doubtful we will see any daylight, as it's going to be a little messy!! other than that we have been speaking about potentially going to Sicily or even Mexico?
Ideas / opinions are welcome!! We know that Cos is out in Thailand and after having a conversation about fake mulberry handbags and learning about Birkin's I am quite apprehensive and would jump at the chance to go out there and see him!! So Cos don't come back until the end of summer!! So we can visit ;-)
It's my birthday at the beginning of March and Stu has kindly been organising a Birthday Meal Extravaganza at Opium in Nottingham. I'm excited, as I know the Russell has accepted his invite!! :-)
My New Year's resolutions are to eat healthy (cut out cheese) join the gym and attend at least 3x classes per week. Get stuck in with my new job!
I hope that people who read this have a great start to the New Year!
