I started my new job today and it's bloody AWESOME.

As soon as I walked into the office I almost squealed with delight but then realised I am meant to be scary digital management type woman with career focus, grace and poise. That said, I did a little giddy dance in the toilets when I was out of sight. The building itself is terribly old fashioned, pretty ugly and reminds me of school, it's really sixties.

But... The office is basically covered in clothes, racks of clothes, mannequins with bits of fabric on them, there are piles of Vogue and Elle and InStyle everywhere and the buyers just shriek at each other saying things like "On trend!" "Seasonality!" "Sequins!" "Yah!". In a good way. My team seems really nice, it's tiny (me, one other girl who's my manager and two web developers). There's also a guy who works on the next desk called Andrew who I'm sure I recognise from the heady days of the Fav. They all seem really ace. My first jobs are:

I think I'm going to like it here...



In other news, my old team from fun direct gave me a wonderful send off on Friday at the Sky Lounge/City Inn in Leeds. They bought me a beautiful Pandora bracelet with some really sweet charms. I drank my own body weight in champagne cocktails, it was fab. I'll miss them, but after today I definitely feel like I made the right move. The new office is a lot quieter though, even with the radio on! I did have a little mental/emotional wobble on the phone earlier with the boy, but I think it was just because I'm tired and gutted that I won't get to spend any time with him at all until a few days after Christmas, pretty shitty but I suppose that's the price I pay for being a business WAG. I'm dead proud of him having such an ace job but just wish it didn't take him away for such long periods of time. I'll be reet, it's just that it'd be nice to have him here to cuddle up to and hang out with for more than one or two days a week. Ho hum.

Other than that, everything's peachy. Anyway, back to my ACE JOB> >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Tomorrow I shall mainly be reading fashion websites, researching trends and planning how I can send the site into the fashion stratosphere... YEAH!!!!



I've also decided it's time to actually get serious about losing weight. I've joined Puregym in Leeds and have been quite a few times (even despite the snow) and I started WW again today. Might seem silly doing it at Christmas but I figure this way, I won't have as much hard work to do in January. I want to be easily into a size 10 by the time the next sample outfits go up for grabs at work, they only come in small sizes so no more tubton town! No more wine, no more take away, no more snacking on shite. From here on in it's all about breakfast, salad, soup and GIN.

BEING TINY IS GOING TO BE HUGE IN 2010, you heard it here first, kids.
