I can't believe it's been a whole month since I wrote on this!
I have just spent the last week taking photos at London Fashion Week and it was amazing. I'm sure the photographers who have done it for years wouldn't agree but for me, it was just such an eye opener. I decided to throw myself into it and pretty much worked 12 hour days, covering on average 2 shows a day, going back and doing my work at the office but also editing my pictures.
At the start of the week I bumped into a mate of mine who works for another agency. He encouraged me to enter this London Fashion Week photo competition (in house-between all the photographers) anyway I did and at the end of the week my picture made the shortlist. I was so chuffed!
Off home this weekend which will be really nice. Planning on staying up to watch the Oscars on sunday night. I think it'll be me, the glitz and glamour and a few cans of red bull!

Roll on February...
I am not enjoying January, why you ask? For the following reasons...
1. It's cold and today I got VERY wet walking to work
2. It's seem like an eternity since my last pay cheque
3. I feel like I should join the gym (I was supposed to have an induction the other day but cancelled and went to the pub instead-I am soooo bad)
4. Big Brother is seriously boring me but sadly I have to watch it as my job involves knowing the every movement of a certain Miss Goody...
I also wasn't very well the other week and on Saturday night I was shattered. I came back from the cinema just wanting an early night, drifted off to sleep, then the aussies below me partied until (no joke) 7am. I went downstairs at 4am and asked for the music to be turned down (it was but then turned up 10 mins later). I went down again at 6am (same again). Sunday was a total write off and to get my revenge I imagined my bedroom floor was a trampoline and jumped up and down over and over again.
I am getting through January thanks to Sex and the City. It is sooo good and I'd never watched it religiously when it was on TV. Sadly one of my workmates accidentally told me what happens to Carrie and Big in the pub the other night...I have pretended I didn't hear her! It's so addictive although it does make me think they date an awful lot. My last date was September, they seem to date every day!
Anyway, I am going to photograph a band called "The view" on Monday which should be good. I haven't taken pictures since last year which is fairly rubbish! I am also hoping to get a pass for London Fashion Week...we shall see... Anyway almost the weekend, I can't wait for a lie in...ahhhh!

Christmas parties
My diary is getting more and more full with Xmas parties- yey!
It kind of started last Wednesday when my boss had his 40th birthday and we all went to the Embassy Club. It was loads of fun, drinking champagne and dancing to cheesy songs (I think the last was dreadlock holiday). My friend Wayne gave us girls a lift to our houses at 3.30am before driving all the way back to Essex (bless him!). And he had to put up with three of us in the back screeching "I've had the time of my life". Shortly after our rendition of this Dirty Dancing classic Jack, my other workmate was sick out of the car. Surely we weren't that bad!
Had a really nice weekend at home and caught up with some people I hadn't seen for ages which was nice. Went to Barbados nightclub (scary) and Club 54 (they are actually playing music I was dancing to 10 years ago in there). Went for a drive along the coast on Sunday afternoon, it was really nice to get some sea air, makes me feel healthy for five minutes atleast!
Going to my friend Clayton's for thanksgiving dinner on Thursday and off to France this weekend. Off to bed now, Jerry Maguire is on, another cheesy film I love cos I am such a diehard romantic!!

Halloween Party
Went to a wicked Halloween party on Saturday with all the old crowd from Glamorgan, some who I haven't seen for years! Me and Rhona weren't really paying attention when we received the invite. We were supposed to show up as an icon, hence Tupac and Che above. Instead we went as...wait for it...a witch and a devil. No wonder we got a few puzzled looks when we arrived!
I drank loads of punch, moved onto the spirits, then my mate Tim (Che) was feeding me rum and ginger beer. Surprisingly I actually made it home, even felt relatively sober actually! We played Roxanne at one point, it could have got nasty but that was the only drinking game we played.
Off to the Comedy Store tonight we my bro, his girlfriend and her brother which should be fun. Then got a busy week at work, helping out one of our photographers at the National Television awards and hopefully photographing Razorlight on wed night.

Have a accidentally joined a dating website?
Hmmm, I received an email the other day inviting me to join a website a bit like friends reunited...trouble is, I reckon it's a dating website in disguise.
It's basicly people cruising around the website, then they can send you a message saying "oh hi just wanted to say hello" or something. Last night I got one of these messages from a guy. He wanted to be my mate, so I said yeah (he looked kind of cute). Then I get a message saying let's go out for a drink and can I pls give him my number. Well sorry but who are you again?, i don't believe we have had any form of conversation and have i just joined some dating website?
The other thing that annoys me is if I decide I want to look for ex's, it'll tell them I have been looking at their page! What's that all about!!
Think I'll stick to myspace...

Leggings = fashion disaster?
I'm not really a massively stylish person. I try...sometimes...but I am not a dedicated follower and I certainly don't get this leggings thing!
To me they are almost as bad as shellsuits. I remember wearing them when I was younger and looking back in horror at old photos, hardly believing I wore such a thing (surely my mum made me?!?) There were three girls on the train the other day, wearing them underneath dresses and it looked like some kind of bad school uniform. The sooner this craze fades, the better I think.
Been feeling a bit ropey these last few days, got a cough and cold starting. I still managed to heave myself off to Southampton shopping for the day on Saturday (bought a gorgeous purple coat). I have also ordered the Sex and the City boxset series 1-6. I think I may become anti social, lock myself away with chocolate and wine and watch the lot!! I started watching a few episodes (stupidly of the 6th series!) when I was house sitting a few weeks ago. I am now hooked and can't wait for it to arrive!
Few bits happening this week... meeting my friend Josh tomorrow for some food and a catch up. Then on Thursday am taking pics at the Keane gig. Otherwise have somehow joined this new website WAYN (not a patch on myspace) but I do seem to have all these random guys sending me messages which is fun! Had a dream last night about someone I haven't seen for six years. It's wierd when that happens, you forget about people for years, then you have a vivid dream and you remember them all over again.
I am about to watch a documentary on the Amityville Horror. Is this a wise idea just before bed???? I'll let you know...
