Hurray!
Oh my goodness! I got the job at the law firm I wanted, HURRAY!! It starts in 2007 and I'll be qualified in 2009, I'm so excited! I was starting to think that I was never going to get a training contract. The second interview was ok, but they had me carry out a mock client interview and I was so nervous I though I'd ballsed it up. They must have thought I was ok to give me the job though :D I'm going to have to try hard to keep up to date with the law though since I won't start until September 2007, which is easier said than done. I'm just so happy!
In other news I went shopping with Claire in York last weekend, which was really nice. We got to catch up and have a good natter plus there's a huge new Topshop just been opened, I could seriously have spent all day in there, it was amazing! They have a 'vintage' section with all these amazing (but seriously tacky/wierd) '80s dresses in every colour under the sun - they look like the kind of dresses I used to play dress-up with as a kid!
Also we've arranged a weekend to Birmingham with all of our friends from the Law College, so there's 8 of us going in December to shop, go for tea, go for drinks/party, stay over in a hotel and (hopefully) go to the Clothes Show Live the next day - that's like an annual fashion event in the UK, there's catwalk shows and stuff. I've never been before but apparently it's all good fun so I hope we can get tickets.
I also arranged to go to London with my mum for some Christmas shopping on the same day - I've had to do some stellar planning to get everything sorted, but I've fixed it so I can do both - the army logistics team would be proud of my planning skills on this one! Just found out that there's another trip the weekend after though, so I might try and change it for that date, rather than try to squish too much into one day.
Hmm, what else... my sister failed her driving test, so she's a bit mopey lately. She failed on 'hill starts' which apparently her instructor 'forgot' to teach her. I've told her to change her driving instructor, but I dont know if she will. She hasn't had a lesson since then so I hope she'll consider it.
It's the last episode of Spooks tonight and the lovely Zaf (see icon) will not be on my telly anymore :( The box set of season 4 is top of my christmas present list now! Hope everyone is excited for christmas. If I have your address I'll post you a card - if not email me at pochacco_is_love@hellokitty.com or z.e.spinks@hotmail.co.uk and I'll get one in the post (sorry for stealing your idea Jamie, but it was a good one!)
Take care
