MASSIVE NEWS...

, , , ...

OMG... What a few weeks I have had! So I started my new job and I am totally loving it!!! The people are fab, I love the work and I couldn't be happier work wise. I hope this continues in the New Year...

But my biggest news of all... I'M GETTING MARRIED!!! :hat: After years of negative posting and praying for someone to love me as I do them yada yada yada, I found this person in March of this year and 4 weeks ago on the 20th November, he proposed to me :smile: 2009 has seriously been the best year of my life! :D I love my boy so very much :heart: I haven't been this in love in my life and I knew a very long time ago that he was 'the one' flirt . I wish there were words for me to describe how I feel...:love:

In the same week as me starting my new job and getting engaged, I was also awarded a Computer Weekly 2009 Blog IT Award for the Best Company/corporate: SMEs - Check it out here - There are a list of other winners also.

So as you can see, I have been rather busy with all that, not to mention Christmas preparations.

I will update you all properly soon, but I did have to tell all of my lovely Opera friends my news... There are a few of you out there who have read my blog for years who will realise *just* how big this is and how much it means to me.

Amazing Weekend

, , , ...

What a weekend! Didn't exactly do much, but I had possibly one of the best weekends ever. Spent it with my lovely boy and then with our friends on Sunday :cheers: . Couldn't be happier!!! I felt a real sense of completion last night... Something I haven't ever felt before. :love:

So it's only a week until I start my new job! I just cannot wait! It's going to be so cool to be doing something I have wanted to do for so long. I'm excited and nervous. I really feel like I can make this work, and I am really looking forward to working with the people that I will be working with. They seem like a lovely bunch and I think I'll be very happy there!

And of course Christmas is nearing and I am starting to get excited about that for the first time ever... Thinking about presents and stuff. Not an easy task. :insane: Must go out and buy cards for people soon. YAY! Feeling totally different! Things are so amazing - I really hope nothing bad happens and that things continue to be so rosy.:heart:

*happy sigh*

An update in the world of Swanny...

, , ,

OK - So a brief update in the world of moi!

Jon and I have broken up. It was amicable and I am more than OK with it all and I believe he is too. I would sincerely like to stay friends with the guy, but I am not sure how realistic that is. I am going to pick up the rest of my stuff this weekend from his and that will finally seal 'The End'. We had many ups and just as many downs and it certainly wasn't a bad 5 years - In our case it just wasn't meant to be and looking back on it, I think the break up was a long time coming.

It's been a month since the breakup and I am doing really well. I don't want to jinx anything as I have been so blissfully happy the last 3 weeks! So all I am going to say for now is 'watch this space'. I shall update you all very very soon ;-)

Due to the break-up and move etc, I have been inactive on the whole GnG front. Not that I haven't been doing bits n pieces, just that I haven't updated. All is to change very soon though and I am hoping to make a few tweaks to the site over the next few days. We are still looking for female bloggers, so if you are interested, please let me know :smile:

OK - Well that's it from me for now. Despite the fact I have an enormous amount on my mind atm, I just don't have the strength to update right now...

Reflection...

, , , ...

Almost another week has past and everything is going so quickly!!! There are just not enough hours in the day - if there were I would be blogging more! :faint:

I think at this point in January, it is a realistic time to re-evaluate your goals and reflect, honestly on the past year. In a nutshell, 2008 had it's highlights, but is very much a year to forget. I didn't really accomplish anything in 2008 - I just felt like a complete mess for the majority of it. It wasn't until mid - end of December that things finally looked up. I am please to say that the start to 2009 has been rather a good one *touch wood*.

I spent some time on my new website this week. I have managed to get some contributors for a giveaway when we launch. I am now just looking for like minded websites to partner up with us by link swapping, advertising, reviewing etc. The credit crusnch hasn't really helped things. People I need to speak to desperately seem so busy at the moment trying to cope with reduced marketing budgets and a pile on of work. It's not easy times.

My website isn't really that demanding. Girls n Gadgets is a venture of mine which I have thought up out of pure interest and for me is about providing good fun articles and content for people all over the world, than a money making venture. So any support is welcomed as this is done in my spare time and anyone interested in blogging/ advertising/ contributing should contact me on leila [@] girlsngadgets.com

Offline, things are going well. I am still loving the new job. The people really are great. I am a little anxious about doing the end of month reporting, but I think I should be OK... :insane:

Things with Jon are going great! His flatmate finally moved out and it's now just us two. It's been lovely to go home and relax together, cook for eachother and just generally enjoy eachothers company. I do love him so very much! :love: I think now, all I want to do is for me and him to go away for a long weekend. being in London all the time can be a real pain. Work is always busy for him and so, it would be nice to recharge the batteries somewhere quiet!

Anyway... hope everyone is doing well. Please leave me your comments as I really appreciate feedback...

Muchos Love...

Happy New Year!

, , , ...

Firstly I would like to wish all of my friends a very Happy New Year and may 2009 bring you much happiness, luck and prosperity! I sure as hell am hoping for some this year! 2008 was a pretty mixed year for me, but I think I can honestly say I am VERY glad it's over! 2009 will be a great year if I have anything to do with it :wink:

So, New Years Resolutions/ Goals...

1. Become a vegetarian for a week - Yup that's right! I am going to try out vegetarianism for a week. It's a promise I made to my friend Ed and I actually think it's going to be an interesting and eye opening week! I love my meat, so to be doing this is will be tough. But it's only a week and I am sure I can manage it - I might even like it and continue with it - who knows? I will be keeping a daily blog on this - starting from the 5th Jan :smile:

2. Cut down on drinking - 2008 has seen me get EXTREMELY drunk and I have had a fair few hangovers from hell! So this year I am going to do my best to drink in moderation and look after my body.

3. Look after my boyfriend more - This year I am going to make a conscious effort to pull my weight around the house. His flat-mate is moving out and it will really give me a chance to show him what I am really like! I can cook and I can clean etc etc, but I think I have been too stubborn and selfish to show him what I am really like. So, 2009 will see me become a domestic goddess :smile:

4. To launch my site www.girlsngadgets.com and make it a global success!

5. To network and meet like minded people rather than putting all my effort into people that don't deserve it! I am sick of being walked all over and from now on, I will choose my friends carefully!

So there we have 5 of my resolutions/ goals - I am sure there will be more to add as time passes, that's only natural. Lets hope I can make this year a successful one and turn my average life into something very exciting. The potential is there and I intend on making it a reality.

Once again, a very Happy New Year to you all!

A less than perfect weekend.

, , , ...

I was going to update over the weekend, but I just didn't get round to it! I had an awful weekend, but it made me realise a few things I guess... Saturday I was working, which wasn't too bad if I was hinest, but then came the evening. It was a friends birthday, but due to not having much money and being really tired, I wasn't really up for going. There was no choice in the matter though, I had to go and I did. We went to Shorditch jon, his bro, his gf and me. The bar where the birthday was, wasn't very good - we stayed a couple of hours and then moved on.

This was where it all went wrong. We were having a good night, a great night in fact up until we had to leave - I had drunk clearly too much! I won't go into details, but I wasn't very nice to Jon. The worst thing is that I didn't deserve to be forgiven really... Not immediately anyway. In the morning, he was a little 'off' understandably so. But I deserved the 'coldness' - but he warmed and brought me my Laptop and a smoothie as he knew I didn't want to leave his room. I told him that I would go home, but he said I should stay at least until he came back from the gym - so I did. We ended up going to the cinema and watching a film called 'Brick' which was pretty good!

I still feel awful - although he told me to forget it, I can't! I can't help but feel like a bad person. I love him very much and I realised that acting like I did and getting drunk was not a very responsible thing to do... I have decided to stop drinking - I don't really need drink to have a good time! At least I can be the designated driver when we go out. I'm far happier when I am not drinking.

We live and we learn... I have a happy life right now - I will NOT spoil it!!!

PS: check out this great blog I came across :wink: They have just started out, but it looks promising more for the footy fans out there I think - Great New Blog Click Here!!!

PS - What do you think about my new layout? Isn't it great... A big thanks to jonimueller & serbianfighter.

Back to the normal neglection!!!

Well after my "great" weekend, Pete is back to his normal weed smoking, 'couldn't give a shit' self!!!:irked: I felt like shit today and I made sure he knew - I needed a little TLC, even if I wasn't seeing him. All I wanted was a few kind, suportive words... But that's way too much to ask! Instead, I called him and just felt like I was putting him out by chatting to him.:clown:

This is't any way to treat someone you apparently "love". :worried:

So you know, I am going to stop believing him, do my own thing... I have to stop being so trusting. Just as I start to become secure, I am knocked back down again.:down: It's not fair. Talk about fucking with someones head!!! Sorry for the language, but I am so stressed out with this relationship - it's had more ups and downs that when I was with jon.:confused: At least we had steady periods of time when we were happy! It's one day up 2 days down at the moment and I can't handle it!:frown:

I move into my new place at the weekend - maybe it's time for an all new change!!!

Night everyone!!! :cry:

Over and out :faint:
