Luisa, Louie, Loubie Lu, Pooisa, Lala and Nou-Nou...think that's all of them
I am so sorry darling blog! I’ve neglected you!
Alas I’ve turned another year older since my last post and did very well for presents thank you very much. Whilst I’ve been majorly productive today at work and have managed to get a fair amount done, I still feel like I could have done more.
I’m in one of those moods today where I feel fairly cheerful but easily bored and want to do something majorly exciting.
I guess going on holiday is a massively exciting prospect. I can’t wait to go and lie in the sun, do some snorkeling and enjoy driving around the little island.
I miss the sun, the food, the people and the general good feeling that Malta gives me.
Roll on September 25th
I hate feeling like a big fat muppet and today I definitely feel like that. Pretty emotional and not liking it one bit. Times like this I wish I could escape and just tell the world to go away. I need a field to chill in away from everyone. Oh to be care free
I’m just posting quickly to say I have another blog running specifically to document my eye laser treatment journey. Find it at

Today’s not started well. I should have driven to work feeling on top of the world because tomorrow is my last day and I should eb in the zone.
Instead I set off and automatically notice something is wrong with my car. I park up at the station after 3 minutes of “flapping” noises coming from my car and check it over. The rear right tyre is as flat as a pancake and then it occurs to me I’ve been driving on the rims. :S
Looking at the tyre I notice a huge screw sticking out and so now I am torn between trying to change the tyre or running to get the train.
I get the train…
So tonight when I get back to the station I have the task of getting my spare on before the weekend as I’ll have to purchase another for my journey to Halifax.
I’ve been feeling a little off kilter all week and can only think my hormones are all crazy. Silly things have been bugging me and it’s winding me up to think that I am even remotely bothered by all this.
Perhaps tonight I need to sleep early in preparation for a monumental day.
So it’s been a crazy old time since I last blogged. I’ve had such a lot going on in my little world that it’s been hard to know what day it is.
This is however my final week at TradeDoubler and it’s Mittwoch (as Sam likes to say :)) which means that after today, I’ll only have 2 full days left at the company.
It’s been a really crazy year and 9 months. Such a lot has happened in that time. I’ve had over 4 managers through redundancy, personal reasons, and now I too am leaving the fold. I’ve seen good friends go and have lost my Dad through a heart attack.
To leave has not been an easy decision to make, in fact it’s been bloody hard because deep down this is really all I know. First job from Uni and I’ve made some great life friends and gathered some great life experiences. I’ve grown as a person and have learnt where my bounderies lie and mellowed out as a whole.
I’ve seriously learnt such a lot from the people around me and the awesome friends I’ve made. I’m truly going to miss my team and the great atmosphere that the office has.
There will be parts I won’t miss but I’d rather not dwell on them because right now I feel contented and happy about leaving and embarking upon the adventure that lies before me.
As a whole this is a big step for me. I’m leaving behind my family and work colleagues, London and everything that is familiar to me. But to be honest I don’t feel scared or worried. For the first time in my life I’ve never felt surer that this is something I need to do and knowing I have Sam next to me te whole way, reassures me all the more.
So it’s with a heavy heart I say goodbye to the Agency team at TD and hello to a new life with my boyfriend and the people of Leeds.
I’m exicted!
Today is a bad day. Why it’s a bad day I don’t know but all I know is that I’m not “feeling” today. I think I’m being a bit unreasonable in my expectations of how things should be going, (the problem is that I have decided how the day should be and now because it’s not following that pattern I’m stressing about it)
My main issue is where I’ve been told to attend a meeting and I am far from appropriately dressed. As a result I am in a big fat mood. I hate having PMT and I hate feeling like everything is wrong with my day because of one little mishap.
Time to beat myself into some kind of mindset…one that doesn’t involve whinging…
Ok so the title is a bit far from the truth but I am indeed leaving. I am quiting the big smoke that is London, moving away from Kent and all that I have ever known and instead swapping it for the north. Am I scared? Not really. I don’t feel like I have anything to be worried about. I’m moving in with my lovely boyfriend and his mental cat, taking Aggy McBun with me and starting my new life, richer in money and in love.
Today has been a bit of an enlightening day as a whole as it’s been a bit of an eye opener. My team got told in our meeting that I am leaving and I also told one of our major clients that I’d be going onto a new job. The look on their faces and their genuine disappointment at my leaving was actually surprising. I had no idea that I’d be missed as much as they’re saying they will.
Dharmesh was singing “I can’t live if living is without you” today and Franky is proposing he has a cardboard cut out in my place to make sure he doesn’t miss me too much.
Gemma was upset that our team elevensies would be no more (“Who’s going to make the cake!”) and on returning from my meeting Mona and Franky stated it had been too quiet without me.
Even people who I’d not spoken to or spent time with in a while were asking to go for lunch and catch up.
I guess though it made me appreciate how much of an impact I had made and I’m glad I’m going out on a high. Nothing could be better than that. :)
