♥ Monday Musings ♥

Hello! :)

Last week has absolutely FLOWN by, i think during the run upto Christmas the days always seem to go by so quickly because of the fact that it gets dark so fast and everyones busy busy busy!

1. I've been given lots more hours at work this week durig the run upto Christmas. One negative point of working in retail during the festive season is that you have to, or are assumed to be able to work during Christmas eve and Boxing day. Today we got told that we have to work on the 23rd December upto 11.30pm to get stock ready for the sale :o. At least i have Christmas day off, eh! ;)

2. 2 words - X FACTOR! Did you watch the final last night? I must admit, i was rather dissapointed that One Direction didn't win, or even get in the final two. :( I'm gonna put the cat amongst the pigeons and say that i'm not a Matt Cardle fan, yes he has a good voice but i don't think he has the X Factor. However, regardless of Matt winning i think 1D and Rebecca will still have big careers in front of them, just look at JLS! :)

3. This week something big happened, i saw the grass in my backgarden and the pavement on my close for the first time in weeks! As i'm sure you're aware the UK has had a thorough bashing from the snow, so its nice to be able to skip down the pavements and not look like bambi in the process! haha

4. I've been indulging in a whole lotta music last week. mostly to the tune of Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Cheryl Cole. I love all their new albums, especially Ri Ri's, i was hoping to get tickets for her tour but they sold out in like a minute, or something ridiculous like that. Humph! Oh and on the topic of Rihanna, did you SEE her performance with Matt on X Factor?! I thought they were gonna rip each others clothes off there and then, haha. Chemistry doesn't even come close!

Hope you had a good week :)

Hello :)

1. It would be fair to say that this week has been somewhat . . . lifechanging/dramatic. Basically, i've decided to leave Uni and get a full time job instead, i'm not going to get too into it all as i plan on writing a blog post on it tomorow, but i just couldn't face another three years in education. As i said, a blog post will grace your dashboards soon about the topic.

2. The Christmas shoppers were out in force on Saturday and Sunday, not even the snow and ice combo outside put them off - thats dedication! I don't really mind working weekends during the run up to Christmas, you may all think i'm slightly crazy but the day goes by in a flash and before i know i've finished my shift!

3. I've been doing quite a bit of retouching this week, mainly to build my portfoilio a bit more. Retouching is a little business thing i'm working on, hopefully once my portfolio is developed a bit more i'll start doing more paid work. :)

4. My fave reads this week;

Burn the Blonde From Gem With Love Anchor Rose

How cute is this photo! It looks like he's having a bath. haha.

I abso-bloody-lutely love reading the 'Monday Summary' type posts; easy reading AND it allows me to be a tad nosey into peoples daily lives! Win ;)

So i thought i'd jump on the bandwagon and give it a shot.

After thinking of a suitable name for this feature i decided on 'Monday Musings' which i think is quite apt.

So heeeere we go . . . .

1. I've been SO busy last week with a presentation on Vintage Clothing due in next monday, moodboards to complete and a report to start too! I'm slowly getting there though, all i can say is bring on the Christmas break.

2. I started my part time job last week, well i had my induction anyway, my first proper shift in Wednesday. I'm working at River Island, i worked there in April 2009 - October 2009 and have gone back to work there over Christmas and i'm keeping my fingers crossed that they may change my contract to permanant. *crosses fingers*. During my induction they left me on the till on my own to serve customers, so i had to try to remember the process of serving the customers from a year ago! Thankfully i didn't short-change/charge anyone wrong. Phew!

3. My weekend was spent shopping on the saturday, and then having an X Factor binge on Saturday night and Sunday night. I actually can't believe that Wagner is still in, oh my god - who is keeping this guy in?! It annoys me that people like Aiden and Paige are leaving the competition whilst he is still in, hopefully he'll be packing his bags next week! However, i love Cher (when she is doing her rap style performances) and obv One Direction!

4. Its been bloomin freezing this past week, i desperately need to stock up on big chunky knit jumpers and thick tights. Apparently its gonna snow this week too, how exciting! Snow always makes me think of Christmas, which means - Christmas is coooooming! :)
