For every action there's an equal & opposite reaction

Wow I do remember summit from school! A lot has been going down at Chez P over the last few weeks & it's been hard not to blog about anything. And no, I know what you're all thinking, no I'm not pregnant! For me it's just as exciting (& a bit scary) – I've got a new job!

I've been with Zodiac for almost 7years (how did that happen?!) & I can't believe it's still my first job. I've learnt so much about anything & everything to do with shirts, fabrics & the working world & made lots of friends along the way, but I decided it was time to move onwards & upwards. I saw a job advert, applied, had an interview, had a 2nd interview a day later & was offered the job. All in a week! Phew! Yesterday was my last day as part of Team Zodiac & I start my new job on Tuesday.

At my Leaving / Holi Party at Dishoom in Shoreditch - Amazing!

It was pretty nerve racking seeing as I'd never had a job interview before or shown my portfolio but I must have charmed them with my wit & wonderfulness & here I am, about to start a new job with new challenges & new faces. Yay!

Thing is if we go by Newton's Law something else had to happen to balance everything out & it did....Adam lost his job :( boo. Thankfully this new job has given me one hell of a pay rise so I can actually afford to cover the mortgage & bills without the pressure being on Adam. So he's busy sorting out his portfolio & preparing for interviews so fingers crossed he'll be back on his feet again in no time & wowing the world of graphics once more.

On that bombshell have a lovely Easter, don't eat too much chocolate. I failed big time with lent this year (first time ever I've not stuck to it) so I'm going to eat even more sweet stuff than I'd eaten before! Bring it on!

T-minus 6months / 184days!

Image
Eeep! 6months today I'll be just about to walk down the aisle to see the man I'm going to marry! AAAAARRRRGGGHHH!I'm so ridiculously excited I'm not sure I can bottle it up! Valentines day marked 200 days till our wedding & mum made us a countdown using tape measures measuring 100cm each. The plan was to cut off a cm each day as the countdown but she'd included little charms all down them of bags, shoes, guitars, etc & we didn't want to ruin it so we're colouring it in with a Sharpie instead! She's the best! :) thanks mum! Last night after work Adam & I met up at Waterloo to head home & it was all going as planned till we stopped at one station for about 20mins cos of a backlog due to a part suspension. There was nothing we could do to get on another line so we sat & waited, the train eventually left but then sat at the next station (Swiss Cottage) for another 20min & they didn't know when they'd set off again. We knew th...

Happy 30th Adam!

Image
Wow what an eventful weekend! Friday was Adam's 30th so we both took the day off work to celebrate together. After sleeping in till 10am Adam finally woke me up asking when I was going to emerge & celebrate his birthday with him - Yoink! So much for the breakfast in bed I had planned. We started the day off as all birthdays should be celebrated - with a trip to Asda! After getting the boring chores out the way we headed to Winter Wonderland (via the Barber) for our annual wander around with a mulled wine in one hand & a Bratwurst in the other all polished off with a pretzel. We stopped off at the Carousel bar to watch the world go by (literally! The whole bar rotates really slowly) & have another mulled wine while putting the world to rights before heading off for dinner in Hammersmith. The first of many surprises for Adam were tickets to Steve Merchant's 'Hello Ladies' tour at the Apollo which was really good fun. We got there quite early so thought we...

#TowerPoppies

Image
Last September I was lucky enough to get the chance to take part in the "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" at the Tower of London.... Those of you who are regular readers will know I love helping out the Royal British Legion & this was a chance to be part of something awesome! "Blood Swept Lands & Seas of Red" was to mark the centenary of the outbreak of WW1, in total there were 888,246 ceramic poppies (1 to represent every British / Colonial serviceman killed) & the last one was planted on Remembrance Day. If you want to find out more & see a video about the poppies being made click HERE . Early one Saturday morning I set off to the Tower of London & joined another 120 people for a 3hour shift. The aim was to plant 5000 poppies to keep on track for the 11th November but someone ended up opening an extra palette & we planted 6000 instead! Our team was lead by a Beefeater's daughter who actually lived in the Tower - such an in...
