Oh...

..the snow has almost completely melted!! Oh, well, we had fun yesterday anyway! My legs hurt from running around so much!

 

Gonne head out to Greenwich tomorrow for a bit of sightseeing, then have dinner in Brick Lane :) Mmmm! It's gonna be our little Valentine's celebration (as I'm working next week and it'll be to crowded in all the restaurants!) Will take lots of pictures of our little day out! Col's never been to Greenwich so it'll be lovely to show him around!

 

Oh, Col's got the receipt for Vietnamese Noodle Soup now so we can relive those breakfasts now! Ohh! Just need to pop into an Asian food shop and get some supplies! Easy peasy!

Let it Snow Let it Snow Let it Snow

Wow! Another Snowy Day! And this time it was more than a few flakes! Like 10cm probably!!!! Coool! Check the new pics!

Col got so excited! We went out and built a couple of snowmen, and guess what?!?! Our crazy lady downstairs opened her window and asked us if we could build them somewhere else! WHAT?? Well, the birds... WHAT?! IT'S JUST SNOW! THE BIRDS WON'T MIND! NOT EVERYTHING IN THIS LIFE HA TO REVOLVE AROUND THE BIRDS!!! Oh my God! She slammed the window shut and I thought she might come out and kick them down!! She's a complete mentalist!!!

 

Set off an email today to the company who offered me that job. I've decided it's a pretty cool job, and if they offer me some more pennies I'll go for it :) Just have to wait and see a the boss is in India...! Come on, it's 25 days holiday! And a bonus! And it's opposite Tate Modern! I'm still stressing about it though, just can't decide what I really really want!

Got myself a tempjob at New Zealand House in Haymarket for next week, it's so cool! It's for the winegrowing society! Cool! Maybe this weekend I'll have to do some research then! I know the Hawkes Bay Sauvignon Blanc is particulary good! Mmm! Wine!

 

We watched Casino Royale earlier today (that's what snowy days are about) - it's not that good. I thought it was a little slow. But it made the day very cosy and chilled out! Oh, I think it's time for another cuppa! xxx

Aren't they cute?!

 

 

So I got the job

...and will decline.. They only offered me 17K, and I ready decided I wouldn't go lower than 18K. I mean, I get much more from temping but ofcourse, no paid holiday, not 25 days anyway! And with the bonus it might take me up to 19-20, but they only hand that out if business is good and in Feb... So it's a gamble really. So, the hunt goes on! I think I'm doing the right thing though! The whole job thing scared me a bit though, the commitment!!! argh! Need to get used to the idea!

 

Have just read Virre's traveldiary - she's just jumped off the Sky Tower in Auckland, New Zealand... This is a thing I need to do too!! Now!

To sell my soul or not?

can I - the environmentalist that I kind of am - work for a gas cooperation?

Friends across the globe!

OK - it's officially spring here in London (according to me anyway!) so..... why don't you come and visit?!?! I'll promise to buy a sofa bed, I just need to get some bookings for it first!!!

 

Come Ooooooon!!!!

 

 

Saturday morning

Ohhhh, what a beautiful day!!!! Sunny and gorgeous! Got up early and have had a lovely morning. At last we had a lie in as well! Ah! I hate getting up early for work! But it's nice in a way I suppose. Have had a pretty cool week at work. The work itself has been a bit dull, but I've enjoyed meeting some new people, Lucy, Lorna, Janice and Collette. The office was a bit quiet at first but we were move chatty at the end of the week! They're all so sweet. It's been great working in Green Park/Piccadilly too. At lunch times I've been trotting down Bond Street (I even braved it and entered some of the designer shops like Mulberry for example!!!). Sat in the sunshire in St James's Square yesterday and just enjoyed myself! You can even walk to Oxford St in your lunch hour (only I had 30 mins, that was all) - great for shopping!

 

Been knackered every night. Did work late both Wednesday and Thursday (got paid hourly so had to do all the extra hours I could!). Col's been looking after me soooo well though! Made me brekkie, packed lunched and cooked me dinner! He's so sweet! The flat is looking very tidy too! Haven't had to wash up once!!!! Oh!!!!

 

Great news-we've finally got broadband as well! Wohoo!!! This means we'll prob be on the net all the time now! Col's signed in on msn, so message him if you want me!!!

 

Off to Great Ashby today, then Walkern tomorrow. Chirstmas dinner tonight, and Sam's birthday tomorrow :) Will be nice to be out in the country! It's such a beautiful day! xxx
