Hello!
I have been a blur of busy this January!
9th Jan me and Tom went to Dublin :) Was such a laugh. Really beautiful city. We went on n open top bus around the city twice, to the guiness storehouse, phoenix park, grafton st (shopping area bit). Was lovely lovely.
I saw a Chanel shop on the High St and grabbed Tom's hand and had a peek at all manner of expensive gorgeous things. Turns out we had ventured into a very posh department store. It was amazing. I pined over Miu Miu bags and Prada shoes! We went downstairs to the Jewellery Hall and found Cartier and Tiffany :D It was then that I twigged that we were being followed by security! I turned round and Tom was looking at ridiculously expensive watches, and there were about 7 pairs of eyes on him. Those eyes belonged to 7 burly, massive, very hard looking security guards. We had a peek at the Hugo Boss suits and left sharpish!
Flights were good too. I recommend Flybe. It was so rough on the way back though... Southampton was mid storm and there was a lot of turbulance. Tom looked terrified!
So we got into Southampton and Tom made his way up to Bristol (for his interview) and I made my way back home. So I grab a taxi, and so happen to grab the worst taxi ride of my life! The guy did not stop talking. And I really don't mind chatty cabbies, if anything it's a good thing. But this taxi driver proceeded to tell me in great detail about his failed marriage, horrible ex, dead best friend and the year he spent in hospital becuase he kept trying and failing to commit suicide. I was so glad to get out and go home!
So Tom poodles off to Bristol to have an interview for his PGCE... and he got a place! Woop. Then the next day I had a fitness test for the prison service and passed (yay!!) so all in all a really good week!
The next Monday I got a call from UKSA asking me to attend an interview an I got the job! It's an admin position and i'm really looking forward to it! UKSA (United Kingdom Sailing Academy) runs sailing courses (yachting an watersports) and is also a charity and takes kids out for a day sailing. I'm chuffed!
So i'm sorted for a summer job, then come September i'll be off to Bristol nd will then apply for prison jobbys.
January has been good to me! I have also been going salsa-ing and gymming lots.Going to a gig tonight with Jess and next week is Alice's birthday so a big one is in store! :)
Oh, and I had a pretty awesome hair cut!
