Over the last year, I have written about the trials and tribulations that have been surrounding me of late. Despite the pressure, anxiety and worry I have been going through, I feel like I am finally through the tunnel and back into the light, so to speak!
Redundancy has happened, but so has a new job...in marketing! I can't believe it. A simple retweet on Twitter resulted in me getting a job where one of my tasks includes sitting at my PC during working hours and getting paid to write blogs! I cannot tell you how stupidly happy I am. Seriously never thought I'd get here, but I have and I am on cloud 9!
Even living in my flat doesn't seem so bad anymore, probably because my new job is so close to home so I have been relishing in the benefits of not getting stuck in rush hour traffic and having more on an evening to myself. I even discovered this weekend my windows, which are on a security latch, can actually be taken off and I can open them so much wider than I thought! Who knew? On the downside, I managed to pull my shower pole off the wall as I was taking the curtain down to wash it yesterday and in my attempt to fix it have actually made it worse and think I've broken the whole thing now!
Oh, and as for my car, I have managed to get my bumper fixed! Actually, I lie, it wasn't me at all. It was my lovely friends, Chelsey and Tim, who did all the hard work. I just stood and watched pretending to know what they were talking about when they were telling me what they've done! Those two are absolute legends though. They've helped me out no end since I've moved into my flat, I am seriously so grateful to have them in my life! Awww look at me getting soppy! (If either of you are reading this, can you come round in the week and help me fix my shower pole!)
So now I'm back on the straight and narrow, I am refocusing. I've managed to persuade Chelsey to join my gym so I now have my fitness buddy back. I completely forgot what a task master she is though after she made me do a circuit of kettle bells, TRX and planks after a 45 minute spin class last week! It's all going to be worth it though.
Chilling out has been top of my weekend agenda over the last couple of weeks and will continue for a few more until I go to Spain in August. Yes, I am going on holiday and I can't wait! Sun, sea and sangria awaits! For now though, it's all about watching the next instalment of TOWIE and Big Brother and getting back to the office to do some more writing.
What a life! :-)

- Welcome to my Blog. I set this up after realising I spend far too much time updating my Facebook status and living in hope that one day a celeb will reply to one of my Tweets. So if you like reality TV, makeup, short story ideas, magazines, chocolate and the occasional gym class, then this is the blog for you. Now get that tea brewing, grab a couple of digestives and let yourself escape into my world...you never know, you might like it here!
