The aftermath of Christmas

Ok so the snow has gone and it's finally warming up. I didn't gain any weight so there's my miracle of Christmas right there. My child is happy and i'm also not too in the red after the generosity of santa this year. I sprinkled magic tin foil reindeers and trees up the drive to keep the magic going as believe it or not Arianna is becoming synical at the age of 4!

So I'm off to retire with my knitting and some non alcoholic punch and wait for the dawn of 2011 and all that it may bring.

Dancing on the kitchen sink

I waitied in the car for 10 minuetes reading Look magazine and waiting to see if someone else would turn up. Thankfully 2 very glamourous looking ladies did. So i heaved my podgy primark clad butt outta my car and braved the dance academy.



Once inside i was met with a pristine reception and smiling faces where we talked about Legoland as we changed into our shoes (Apparently they have a wasp infestation problem).



The warm up was fast and furious and amazingly i didn't put too many feet wrong, i was even asked if i'd done it before as a child. I haven't so i was very impressed with myself. As the session wore on it became increasingly apparent that not only am i the largest member of the class i'm also the technically weakest member as my twirling and toe steps leave a lot to be desired.



So if you hear strange tapping noises coming from my kitchen i am not beating eggs but am practicing my steps as it's the only hard floor in the house.

Wisdom teeth not always = pain

Helloo
So i've been in and had all 4 out!
Major anesthtic complications never a good thing when you wake up and they go thank God she's woken up. Then they rapidly tell you what went wrong as clearly you won't remember right? Wrong!
My response was hey it's all good i'm alive.
So apart from the packs full of blood nearly dying and the urge to vomit for 2 days it wasn't so bad.
The bonus of my ever decreasing waistline and realising that i'm a woman whocan handle pain makes me smile. Well i would if i could :)
Plus i was back at work on the Monday in my glamourous Tesco scarf doing the payroll pat on the back to me.

New job

At last a real HR manager's job with actual responsibility and wages to match i am so happy it has taken 4 years of temping and hard graft to get here now but i've made it. I'm currently training and learning all the company's ways. I'm not loving the uniform it feels so odd after dressing how i wanted for so long but hey you can't have everything i guess.
I've joined the social club so i'm hoping that fun and new friendships are right around he corner.
Plus a whole host of new designer shoes that hopefully my darling daughter won't unpack and chew. That was when i realised she was mobile and a costly mistake to make :)

Champaygne brekkie or not

So lovely Milly was 18 my babysitter all grown up ahh bless. Tonight i am off to London on a cold old train and she is getting drunk with her friends. Have a lovely time at saffron my darling you deserve it. Happy birthday and enjoy that bottle of Moet & Chandom as it's crying out for a terrace smoked salmon and coffeee at about 9am tomorrow.

Retirement Party with a twist

So last night to make my mum's retirement i took her to see the rocky Horror show and my god it was flipping awesome. Muic was fab and so was the singing. David Badella was hot in the stockings and basque with a capital H plus he can dance ladies in heels, i mean wow! So there were the obligatory shouts of slut to Janet and rocky was gorgeous he was the fittest man specimen i'm likely to see that naked for a long time (no offence to my boyf). Mark Curry of ginger Blue Peter fame was our narator and my he did well as we had one man who was abusive more than heckling in our audience to the point Frank n furter forgot his lines which only added to the comedic value but still was a tad uneccessary for the cast. lots of smoke as a warning to anyone in the front four rows didn't bother me but a lot of people were panicking a bit.
A very good night out was had by all and the wine and beer wasn't to overpriced well done to all at the Princess Theatre on Weds 3rd March 2010
