So, tomorrow is my last day at the HPA.  It doesn't seem like only a year and 3/4 I was just starting there.  Seems like I've been in London forever.  I found out today who's buying my leaving present.  Pros: It's my best mate in work.  Cons: It's my best mate in work...it's been mentioned that there's a sale on in Ann Summers at the minute.  I don ( Read more... )

But, I had a nice chat with Tom, Rich (he's a proper Tyke from Pontefract) and Andrew (my fellow Donx representative!) and ( Read more... )

So, the 1-2-3-4 Fest...hipster central.  Which I was expecting to be honest.  It was hella tiny, they started an hour late (so none of the bands were on when they should have been), some bands didn't play at all, some were amazing (mostly Patrick Wolf, KASMS, and 2 other bands that we have no idea who they were because of aforementioned timing ( Read more... )

Becky.  Not amused.

Oh what a stressful interesting week it has been.  Moving is more hassle than it ever should be.  I don't even know where to begin!

Parking permits...seriously - HOW MANY HOOPS?  Matthew is a named driver on my insurance, he has the car in London at the minute.  Goes to sort out car parking permit.  Can't do it because car is in my name.  Ok, but my name is on the tenancy agreement, so obviously I live there too.  Matthew is on the car insurance, so obviously he has use of the ( Read more... )
