financial, temp work, redundancy, temping
I know I have not written much lately, but it has been a funny time for me. I got made redundant last week and not really been open enough to write much about it. It did come as a shock. It wouldn't have done if it had happened 4 weeks earlier.. They are paying me until the end of March, so that's not too bad! But it has made me wonder what I really want to do and where I really want to be in 5 years time.
I am temping today. This is my first ever temp role. I am on reception for a financial company. It's nice and the people are lovely here. But it's only for a day. I might have some more temp work on Monday. Working at a school. So that would be good!
Ahhhh I don't really know what to say as I am a little blank and have been for a week now. I am starving. Looking forward to lunch!!!

diamond, wine, earrings, valentines Day
I am not getting anywhere with my brother. This time my Dad is now standing up for him. Hopeless! Annoying! Upsetting! Just 3 words that describe the situation. Anyway, I give up now. I am not trying anymore. They can miss me! Because I don't feel like making the effort anymore!
It's Valentines Day today. My bf and I exchanged our presents this morning. I got him a wine tasting experience which includes 5 wine tasters, 1 perfectly made Bombay Saphire, 2 whiskey tastings, 2 absinthe tastings and 2 beer tastings. So needless to say, we may be a little sloshed after it! he he! He bought me a beautiful pair for diamond earrings. I love them! I am so happy and soooo inlove with him *blush*.
I have just had to sit though a 2 hour meeting this morning. The good thing about that though is it's almost lunch time. I can't wait to see my beau. I won't be seeing him tonight as he'll be out, but I am going out tomorrow instead to a lovely little Jazz Club in the West. It will be a lovely night I am sure. The wine tasting is on Sunday too, so it's should be uber special!
Anyway... Lots to do Ciao for now!

I'm feeling really down at the moment. I feel like my brother and I are really losing touch and that he doesn't care anymore :-( Nobody really seems to understand, not even my Dad. Which puts me in a real predicament. I really am not so sure who to turn to. My bf certainly doesn't understand, normally my Dad has an answer for everything, but even he hasn't this time :-( I know he feels bad about things, I can't be upbeat about things. I am trying though as I don't like being negative!
I feel like the beginning of this year has been almost perfect. But nothing is perfect and that is the problem. 'Almost' is as good as it gets and for anything to be at that level in my life is pretty good. I think I am gonna stop moaping around now - No point in being so negative! It's not so bad!
It's Valentines Day tomorrow. I am so excited! I need to think of a quirky idea to put his event vouchers into. I am not too sure what to do. Maybe in an empty wine bottle. Maybe I could get him a new lil wallet thingy and put it in there. I am not too sure. Hmmmmmm... something to think about on this boring day at work!!!

dr joel, valentines, kula shaker
It was a pretty mixed week for me last week. I was a little easily aggitated and feeling sorry for myself for being broke. Work was okay until Friday when I got a pretty unneccessary email from accounts that made my blood boil. It wasn't really what was said within the email, but just the fact that my boss and MD had been CCed into it. I wouldn't mind if they were points that had been brought up before, but they weren't. I do not want anyone thinking that I am incompetent when I know I am perfectly able to do my job to a good standard!
My weekend was quite nice though. On Friday I saw my lovely Debi for another Kula Shaker gig. I didn't have the same excitement as before as I have met the band after every show so far, including Rome in Italy. They seem totally uninterested and just think that anyone who wants to meet them or follows them are freaks. I am not a freak thank you very much. I just happen to be someone who enjoys their music and their shows. Jeez, they're not exactly all that and a bag of chips. (hee hee). Anyway, the performance was great as always and there was an added bonus of them also being the support group. They got dressed up in crazy folklore costumes and sang some songs along with Dr Joel, who is becoming a bit of a celeb with them now. Dr Joel is great. His music is very hard to describe. He sings in a syle of music called Konnakol. My favourite song has to be Ravenous like a Tiger!
Saturday was a fairly busy one. I moved a few bags from my house to my Dad's to store and then saw my cousins baby. Kymani he's called. Gorgeous lil thing. Weighed a whopping 8 pounds 9. They all look really happy. I wish I had more time to spend with them. Unfortunately we only booked out the car till 4.30 so I could only really make it for half an hour or so! Once we got the car back, we went to watch the film 'Cloverfield'. It was like 'War of the Worlds' meets 'The Blair Witch Project'. It was enjoyable, but I don't think I would go back and watch it again any time soon! I am really looking forwrad to seeing Juno this week though. Looks good. A real chick flick though, but Grazi and I are gonna drag the boys along!
And finally, who can forget the fact that it's the Week for Lovers everywhere. Yep, Valentines day is on Thursday and I am most excited. Although I will not see my bf on that evening, we're going out on the 15th to a nice little Jazz Club in West London. I am really looking forward to giving him his present as I really think he's gonna like it! YAY!!! The card also came over the weekend. I am really pleased with it. Althought the photo on the inside page is a little pixilated it doesn't matter too much really. I think he'll still like it. I wrote him a poem too... Awww I can't wait.
Time to get on now - enough rubbish from me. Lets hope this will be a great week!
