The Gang's All Here

The photo below was taken at our official finishing party - although we had a great time it was also very sad.

I already miss going into the Yell office a lot and also miss the people that are in the photo and also the ones who are not.

I have been very busy over the last two weeks with my new job and trying to sort out the new house - still have no phone or internet there at the moment - am using my parents mac to post this now.
Hopefully though the internet will be up and running shortly and normal service with be resumed.
Can't wait for everything to get back to normal and soon I will be able to post photos of my house now pretty much all the decorating is done.

I will return shortly.

Moved In

Well I am now in my new house.... And I can't move for all the crap that is everywhere, see the problem is I have so much stuff and no where to put it - now soon I will have money and I can buy things like new bookcases and a shed for the garden, new bedroom furniture and frankly I can't wait - it's so hard to find anything at the moment because of the lack of storage - oh yes and lack of time I started my new job properly last Monday and have hardly had time in the house. Next Friday I get paid - hooray and the week after that I get my redundancy payout (even better) then I can think about buying so storage solutions.
Oh and I have no internet at the moment - I am writing this on my Mum and Dad's Imac - hurry up Sky and get it back on for me - I hate not having access to the net at home.
Anyway hopefully things will get back to normal soon and I can get back to posting regularly.
Oh and for those expecting a post about clothes or shoes - I saw a lovely coat in Asda when I was there the other day - yes it's on my list of must buy items - watch this space.

Shoes are here


Well the shoes I ordered drom New Look are finally here - they arrived this afternoon - well technically they arrived on Tuesday but I was out so the delivery man absconded back to Cardiff with his precious cargo and kept them safe for me.
So this afternoon I am in the house, decorating and well just waiting for the delivery as I had arranged for it to come today - and it's getting later and later - and I have to get to the dentists, I was just about to give up on them for another day when the delivery man shouted thorugh the open window that he was here

OH joy.

Golly I was so excited I had been waiting for them since Friday, which is like forever where I come from and finally I had them in my hands - bliss

Anyway here they are


Aren't the gorgeous???? Heaven in a shoe

Ahhh my shoe obsession in sated for a little while 'Sigh'.


Shoes £19.99. from New Look

All hail the Vauxhall Astra

Well I have survived a week without a car and that my friends was 1 week too long - I am a nightmare when I have to rely on other people or even worse - the fiasco that is public transport (Shudders in horror).

But hooray this evening I got a car (woop woop) a Vauxhall Astra - a bit bigger than my last car and very nice to drive - and all I can say is - thank the car gods or rather Carl one of my dad's mates who also happens to be a mechanic. - Phew crisis averted I'm back on the road.



At least I can get around now - to work (when I start) and to my friends houses. It is such a relief and I am one happy blogger.


Oh and for those of you hoping for a blog featuring shoes I am expecting a rather gorgeous pair to arrive from New Look any day now - so will show you them when they arrive.

Until then I'm off for a drive around in my car - you wont be able to miss me I will be blasting the Saw Doctors from the stereo.

It's all over now

Yell Advisors hit the town


Well it's all over now - the last day has passed and now until I can finish my training I am technically unemployed - hopefully tomorrow I will get my car and I can call and arrange another day of training.

We did have a lovely night out in Newport even if it was a very sad occasion I am going to miss all the people in the photo above and many others who couldn't make the night out.

It was a pleasure to work with you - good luck and I hope we'll meet again. xxx

The end is nigh

Well we are in to the last couple of days of work before we close, And while we can't wait to finish there is also that tinge of sadness creeping in as well. It will be very strange on Monday not coming into the office, not seeing the fabulous people I have been working with for the last 4 years.
It will be nice to start a whole new career, with new people, but it really is the end of an era, tomorrow - the last day I will have my camera on me and of course we are going out as well afterwards - so I will make sure I take lots of photos.

Also I will be getting a newish car soon as well I can't wait.

I just don't know how much more I can take

So far I have had the week from hell - and it's only Tuesday.
Yesterday I was on my way to work when my car broke down - so it's off road at the moment until I can get someone to look at it but chances are it's a goner.

And today my dad dropped me into work and as he was driving home up Dewsland Park Road some complete and utter dickhead who was driving far too fast in wet weather slammed into the side of him completely wtitting off his car completely - luckily he was okay - lucky for the other guy I wasn't in the car as well. 1. I probably would have been badly hurt and 2. I would have probably murdered him - no seriously after the last few weeks I really couldn't careless about what happens to be - frankly I've got nothing to lose. If a mugger came up to me and said 'give me your money or I'll kill you' i'd probably tell him to do it.

It's really been that bad - I keep thinking it can't get any worse - but guess what - it does!!!
