Last night was awesome!! The Hilton was so nice, especially since it had all of its xmas decorations up. First of all we had drinks in the Sky 23 bar. The views are amazing and it was nice to see all of the lights too. We then had food at The Living Room. The food was really nice but the portions were so small! The white chocolate and strawberry cheesecake was the best cheesecake I've ever eaten though, it was just perfect! After that, our boss had booked a Karaoke pod at Tiger Tiger. I'm really not one for ever singing in public (traumatic childhood memories of having to sing scales whilst learning the clarinet in the lunch corridor), but it was really fun. I didn't have a proper sing but did a bit of group singing and singing along which I think is an achievement for me! We then went to the hotel to have a drink at the bar there, but sadly it was closing for maintenance for the night, so we headed to a nearby casino since that was the only place open that late on a Sunday evening/Monday morning and then finally got back around 3-3.30am for bedtime! The room was lovely, very nicely decorated and super comfy beds! It was like sinking into a little cloud and it had two pillows which always goes down a treat with me since I can't stand just having one pillow. Overall, it was really nice to spend time with my colleagues, as I've not been there very long I don't know people so well, but feel I've started to fit in a little bit more now.

Also, I read this question and answer page from the NASA website, Beyond 2012: Why The World Won't End, which was a really interesting read.

Tonight is our work xmas do for Venture. We're staying at the Hilton in Manchester and going out for a meal!! Really looking forward to it and hoping our room has an awesome view! Today's PED is of a ghost shaped gingerbread man, not sure why it's a ghost rather than something more xmassy, but it was still tasty nonetheless.

Just a quick one as I want to try and sleep as much as possible for Thursday's shoot! I'll write about it afterwards so that I'll hopefully have some photos too! It's the staff night out at Venture this weekend, I want to wear a dress but so far my bruise is limiting my choice! I think I may go with my Vivienne Westwood dress as it seems like a good opportunity to wear it to something nice.

Highlight Of The Day: Getting 3 bookings at work.

Tonight was the Debenhams xmas do at the Cotton Mill. We did the same for our spring (belated xmas) party earlier in the year and it was a good night again. Wish I'd not been so tired so I could have stayed longer, but it was still nice to see everyone for a short time. Nest week it's the Venture xmas do so I'll be all partied out!

Xmas Party Outfit:

Song Of The Day: Psy - Gangnam Style
Reason: So funny to watch a room full of people recreate the dance moves!

Highlight Of The Day: Seeing friends at the party.

Things I Love This Week

Advent Calendars - I've ended up with two, a 'Me to You' one and a Hotel Chocolat one. Nom.

Finishing Xmas Shopping - All over for another year!

Alice In Wonderland Sugar Bowl - Bought a lovely sugar bowl for a mere £10!!

New Kettle - Even though we've bought plenty of things for the new appartment already, the lovely cone shaped, red Morphy Richards kettle is definately one of my favourite items!

Masters Certification - My MA certificate arrived, its not quite as nice as my degree one, but still, people are always impressed by it!

Work Xmas Do - Good night out, and nice to see people outside of work!!
