My Silly Valentine

OK, It's official, I work for the best company to work for.

Previously in the last four four and a half months I've worked there, we've had champagne about five times, an iPad for a Christmas present (and a Christmas jumper), an epic Christmas party in Leeds that included staying in the Malmaison, drinks at the SkyLounge (in the Hilton Hotel), champagne on a boat and then a meal and party in a Teepee before a hilarious night out in Leeds, where I just so happened to meet up and party with fellow J-Kitch fan Sara.

And not only does the job have some great opportunities to grow and learn, and I'm getting huge responsibilities that I can run with, I've also become project manager for Contributing To The Community. With this, I can do things to help those less fortunate. We recently raised £70 for the British Heart Foundation on their Ramp Up The Red day last Friday. And we've got a lot more planned to raise awareness, money and help others.

This Valentines day was no different to the previous efforts. Approaching my desk I am flattered with a rose and chocolates and more importantly, One Direction Love Hearts. Then we all sent and received anonymous valentines cards (although I won't receive mine until Monday because the person who had me hasn't been in all week!) and then we had a game of finding hearts around the office, and a 'pin the tail on the donkey' style game of plant a smacker on Ryan Gosling's lips. The office was well decorated and we ended the day with a glass of champers!!

What a great job I have!

Who Killed Lucy Beale? Suspects 15-11

Now we're really getting in deep. We're on to part 7 of our suspect list, with some real likely killers and one psycho child. 15. Dennis Rickman Jr. This has to be the worst little shit in the history of fictional characters? He is such a little twerp who deserves a smack. His lies against Whitney pushing him just shows how evil he can be and I wouldn't be shocked in the slightest if he was a murderer. 14. Denise Fox Denise made the disgusting mistake of falling for Ian. How the hell did that happen? She was supposed to be in Oxford at the time of the murder, but that could be a shoddy excuse (just look at Mr Bates in Downton). Lucy actually helped Denise by keeping her kiss with Fatboy secret, and they never really had that much hatred between them. However, she did start to really detest Ian, and she would know how to hurt him, through his children.   13. Nick Cotton Nick is back, again... Whilst that means we've got a couple of months of Dot

Return to blogging?

As has been the general theme of my vapid last few posts, here I am, looking to blog again, to see if it will do any good. Lets start with an update based on the big milestones I kept missing in my previous posts. It is five years since my previous post, where I was a very naive 25 year old. Yes, I'm in my thirties now. Maturing like a fine wine I hope, but more likely like a piece of cheddar that dropped under the fridge. Back then I was 'still' living at home. I did not know back then that it would be another five years. Last year however, in May I bought my own home. Yes that's right, I'm a homeowner. The years of saving paid off.  I escaped the bully from the old marketing company and after a brief time working in Oxford, I have settled into a SaaS company where the last three years have blown by. I chop and change as to whether there is the right level of opportunity for me there, but I have a good support network there and I am doing something I enjoy; Contin
