i may be turning into one of those smug marrieds! eeep!

Well Valentines day came and went and yes I was one half of those sickly sweet couples who make the most of it! Adam took me away to Paris for 3 days which was very sweet! J I was surprised at how quiet it was and all the couples you saw were mainly English, the majority of the visitors were school kids which made it slightly annoying but hey! We spent the 1st night sitting at the Sacre Coeur looking out at Paris while a random drunk guy played the guitar and sang. It was slightly more romantic than it sounds! :P we also did all the typical touristy stuff and made the most of being away for a few days from work! My last surprise was on the way back we travelled 1st class on the eurostar! That was ace! We had a 3 course meal and of course the compulsory champagne! :D woot woot hehe. I’m now sitting at my desk wishing I was still in Paris, hoping that payday will miraculously be changed to the 27th Feb, nibbling on French toast with champagne marmite (valentine’s day limi

cinders did go to the ball (well cocktail party)

panic before i even get to the disco!

there's nothing like the panic you get when you try on something that you know isn't going to fit in a changing room and then get it stuck....... i'm sure most of you know what i'm talking about, it's the last one, and is a size too small but you think 'oh it might fit, i'll give it a go' it also doesn't help when you ask the assistant if they have anything bigger and they say no but it's big for its size! sorry?! then it wouldn't be labelled a medium it would be a large wouldn't it?! but gullible as i am i was like 'oh ok cool i'll try it.' those fatal words! i went into the changing rooms and they were so small i could hardly fit in with myself, my bag and the garments i wanted to try on. So i got said large that was disguising itself as a medium and put it over my head. i struggled a bit and at this point most people would think 'nah, it's ok it's not going to fit.....' oh no, not me, i think that if
