Going out

Tonight was a nice little night out. It was a work mates birthday. We went to The Diner a American burger bar kind if restaurant bar. I had s cheese burger and cheese fries.

The food was great, really good. It was nice seeing people from work and seeing people from different departments that I normally wouldn't bump into.

Tomorrow night me and a few cousins are going out for drinks and possibly a club if we're feeling up to it. People haven't really asked about tomorrow night, which I hope doesn't mean they're cancelling.

Fingers crossed tomorrow night is okay, will let you know all about it and takes lots of pictures.

Appraisal results

Today was my appraisal at work. It was my annual review and it went pretty well. 

It was essentially an hour of my seniors telling me how happy they are that I'm there with them at work, and how well I'm doing and how much potential I have to go far in the business.

I'm so delighted that they feel that way and they do realise all the hard work I do, and it is appreciated. My new objectives were drawn up and in a few months will have a review of them to show that I have met my objectives and need new ones. 

Overall it was a really good chance for me to talk about all the things I want to do and to hear how well I'm doing at work. They told me I'm on track for a promotion in the next few months and once a vacancy comes up that I should try and apply for it if I feel ready.

I'm really chuffed that they think so highly of me and they're really happy that they got me on their department.

Appraisal

It's that time where everyone gets appraised.

Bit of a weird thing to call it...I mean a performance reviews sounds a bit better than a appraisal, makes it soundlike were old antiques and their trying to work out how much we're worth.

ANyway, tonight I have to get an early night because I dont really want to turn up late to my own appraisal.

Goodnight and will update you on how my appraisal went.

Hot chocolate

It's cold, there's snow and there's only one thing I want.

Hot chocolate with mini marshmallows.

This one is great. It's Creme Brulee white hot chocolate.

Snow Everywhere

As promised here are some pictures of the snow. 

As forecasted it's been snowing all weekend and there is quite a build up of snow. 


Its reached ankle level now...which probably isn't much, but for London I have to admit that's pretty high.

I woke up and this is what my back garden looked like. It is a major improvement to the usual view,and bare trees frosted with snow makes it look beautiful.

The build up of snow is great, now I get to plan my winter outfit with all the accessories. I've got my mittens,bobble hat and knitted knee high socks. 
Now I need to dig out my snow boots.

Nail art

Me and my hobby list just keeps on growing.

Now I'm really liking Nail art and nail gems.

I've always had a bit of a thing for nails. I have all the different colours under the sun in my nail kit. At one point I was really into growing them and manicuring them. I was really into glitter at one stage, and now I'm loving nail art and nail gems.

I've started building up a range of different nail pens, gems of all colours and shapes and even some metal studs to put on my nails.

Looking online I've found lots of inspiration. 'Boom nails' @boomnails.blogspot.com/ is amazing, she has great ideas and has managed to turn her hobby into a viable business. I would love to be as good as her. Right now I'm still new at designs so here's my first nail art design.

New year's resolution update

I thought I would give an update on the progress of my new years resolution.

My New years resolution was to take more pictures, keeping my blog updated and getting a driving licence.

If I'm being completely honest with you my driving licence resolution isn't going well...I haven't read from my theory test book so that doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Updating my blog seems to be the only one I've managed to stick to. I think I have kept a stable stream of blog updates, and I seem to be juggling both my blogs 'Finding my feet' and 'Music in my life' pretty well.


I've finally managed to find my card reader so now I can upload pictures from my phone too. 

I have a habit of taking rather random pictures on my phone, here are a few that I found floating around on my phone.
