I'm not a celebrity, get me in there NOW!

I could cope quite easily with the bean and rice diet if I could creep on this all day long!

Perv

And in the red corner, weighing in at...

Well I'm not telling you that; its a ladies prerogative, but....

I lost 4.5lbs this week!!!

Even after the Chili Con Carnage that took place last Friday, I stepped onto those scales feeling confident knowing, that even with that mound of chili in my belly, I'd worked hard this week running the 10k on Sunday; swimming 50 lengths on Monday; running 3 miles yesterday. I'm turning into an exercise junkie. I'm sat here typing this with sopping wet hair after a nice swim to celebrate losing 6lbs altogether now.

Worried I'm going to become one of those sad women who go on a diet and that's all I can talk about so I'm going to keep this short.... but I'm giving myself a big pat on the back!

Back again....

The point of this blog was so that I could look back at all the stupid things I wrote and decide on whether my life needed a good shake up or not....

Well so much for that! How do I expect to read back over things that I haven't written.

My ideal first date.... 

It was only as I was walking around IKEA (unfortunately not at all like the scene from 500 Days of Summer, as I was accompanied by my girlfriends and not a man who is besotted with me) that I realised how quickly I am getting old. I was looking at things like BATHROOM BLOODY CABINETS and commenting on the benefits of drawers compared to open shelves.

How did this happen? If I had kept up with writing this blog I would probably be able to tell the exact moment I got old.

So from now on I will be boring anyone who reads this so that in the future I can look back and think "I was 23 and I was complaining about being OLD?!"

Chilli Con Carnage

Movember 10K

 So just to fill in anyone who's interested: I'm still single, still working in the same place, still living in the "Valleys" as MTV would call it, and still trying to be happy minus the fatty. Progress on that will follow, but I will give you an idea of how its going; I ate a mountain of chilli con carne last week for Children in Need but then completed a 10K run in Cardiff on Sunday. So hopefully the two have cancelled each other out and the weighing scales will be kind to me on Thursday when I have my weekly Weight Watchers meeting. Keep your fingers crossed for me please.

52 whittled down to one..

How many people are lucky enough to actually get a job which is remotely similar to the degree they studied in University?

I AM!

I have been graduated from University for about 5 months and I've been working as an order processor for a window company. I was so worried I would become a lifer and end up selling window frames forever. I have already started dreaming about processing the orders!!

But on Wednesday I had an interview for an amazing apprenticeship position with the council to be a Media Assistant for a fixed term of two years. I will be using everything I learned in University like writing press releases, writing articles, making promotional films, etc. I can't wait to use this as the starting point of my whole career.

I really had a feeling on the Monday before the interview, that this week was going to be a bad one. Then I slipped on some ice on my way to work that morning and felt like it was an omen for the upcoming interview. Especially since a man and his Alsatian came rushing over to see if I was okay. When the man slipped too and nearly landed on top of me his Alsatian started sniffing around me like he was ready to cock his leg against my spread-eagled form. Luckily that fall and the nearly getting weed on was the only bit of bad luck God decided to throw my way this week. He took pity on this clumsy oaf and decided to let me get the job I so desperately wanted.

Hopefully, this new job will mean that I can be more interesting and will be able to write things worth reading!

Fingers crossed I won't be boring anymore=]

Debenhams Free Christmas... Or Not!

I cannot believe that since I last posted on here I have graduated from University (with a 2:1 wooop), I left Swansea to move back in with my Dad in Caerphilly, and am now working full time in a job which does not involve working on a Sunday!!! I am now cherishing my weekends because for five full years the only time I could work was an evening or a weekend shift.

So, you would logically think that I would steer clear of the dreaded Debenhams, especially at this time of year. I would literally pull my hair out working in the retail industry during the weeks up to Christmas, and now I am free from the horrors of scarily serious shoppers and brainless bargain hunters it would make sense for me to do all of my Christmas shopping online.

I am ashamed to say that the lure of the Debenhams 30% "Gift Extravaganza" was too much for this shopper. Add to that the 10% extra off that the evil company was offering if I used my store card, and I had no hope of avoiding the place! Save three presents, come Christmas Day all of my friends and family will be the proud owners of a gift from Debenhams. And come the 28th December, I will be the horrified owner of an extortionate bill from the company that I just can't seem to leave, even after I have quit!

Help me with my dissertation please=]

If you complete this survey you will forever have my thanks. Which I know doesn't sound like much, considering you can't buy anything with it, but it really would mean a lot. Especially since my dissertation is due in next week!!!

Oh Bama, Oh Sama.

Obama is not to be confused with Osama. But that is just what has been happening all over my Facebook home page today.

 As everyone must be aware by now, (even if you are a deaf and blind mute I'm sure someone will have sorted out some Braille to keep you in the loop) Osama bin Laden was killed by American forces yesterday. I'm pretty sure that when one Facebook friend wrote: "obama dead! lets get the americans to deal with a few other troublesome people, cheryl cole, katie price and tracy emin would be a good start....", the mistake in the name was just a slip of his finger, across three keys and down one, on his keyboard. Because if not, this status is surely a pointed statement professing that Obama is as pointless to humanity as Katie Price.

 I won't deny that I am possibly the least politically informed person in the country, but even I realise that the current American President has achieved more in the grand scheme of things, than parachuting into an Australian jungle for two weeks of eating bugs or coming out of a manufactured girl band and befriending a number of big shot music moguls in order to gain solo success. 

A lot of speculation has been going around about the reliability of the claims of Osama bin Laden's death, with a lot of people claiming it is merely a way to gain votes in the upcoming elections. Even if that's the truth, leave Obama alone. It's obviously not enough that Donald Trump is accusing him of playing too much basketball ( he's just jealous he can't dunk) and that a bunch of narrow minded idiot's doubt his American citizenship. Oh Barrack, I believe you.
