Back to reality and long gone are days spent in my dressing gown browsing Sky plus delights...

BACK TO WORK.....UURRRGGGHHH!

Trying to keep a positive attitude and rocking the 'can-do' feeling blue sky thinking of a new year and good things to come.....

So back at work this week and already feeling right back at circa mid-December 2012 -plugged out, empty and tire- basically I am on the search for a new job feel (my current post is not where I should or want to be and feel like those 8 and sometimes (alot more than sometimes and actually more like 10 hours) spent at work are a waste of my best. I feel frustrated in raring to go full steam ahead with making changes for the better in 2013, getting stuck into something I can fall in love with 'career wise' and reaching for what I finally want versus soldiering on with my current hum-drum.

Mostly I want to stop being so tired I just crash on the couch in front of the soaps and watch myself exist rather than do. This blog and taking the time to focus my brain on something productive and enjoyable is and will be my buoy in the ocean this week and the future (at least next couple of weeks) till I am on track, and as things are a little hectic I will make quick posts 'rocked and sucked' - such as for today what:

Rocked  

1. Receiving confirmation email of afternoon tea with one of my oldest and dearest S (she kindly booked as surprise) for which we have cheekily booked a half day from work to skip off for fine china and fall face first into a haven of cakes at Pret-a-Portea for the London Fashionista's Tea party...very excited

 
2. Booking tickets for London Fashion Weekend - looking forward to prospective February fashionista shopping, an exclusive designed tote filled with goodies, glass of champagne and my complimentary copy of Elle (check it out loads of great packages per ticket deal)

3. Booking a March date to visit Harrods Laudree restaurant for a 'macaroon experience' according to the girls, I am in for a treat. Additionally of course have been lured by a chance to browse Knightsbridge finest and leave with my * little green bag * I hope although depending on when it falls around pay day

 
4. Finding a couple of really good jobs to apply for which I shall keep my fingers crossed and keep you up to date...of course they are fashion/creative related...wish me luck

5. Ok so not a today happening but looking forward to next installment of Mr Selfridge mmmm Jeremy Piven - must come back to this following Sunday's viewing

 

Trying to make sure have something (at least one thing) each month to look forward to

Sucked

• Work
• 1-1 meeting with manager in which we were discussing strategic planning for March-August (really want to be out by end of Feb) - although lovely manager and felt awful
• Shivering, literally bone rattling, in the cold today although gorgeously bright today
• Still waiting for my camera to arrive which has still not come in the post and my 'street art photography' course is this saturday...really hope it comes in time...bluergh!

Rally hope you guys are having a good week/start to the new year and still embracing fresh starts, being good, getting stuck into...whatever it is you have promised yourself or this year.

PS Looking forward to weekend as bought a few bits last week that I wanted to share here which aren't too naughty I tell myself as all in the spirit of the 'SALES' - More retalias threpayious
