Good Luck, Bad Luck and Modelling for 5 Minutes!

I've had an interesting week so far and it's only Wednesday! 
On Monday my laptop went a tiny bit funny and decided it needed to be refreshed and seemed to be fine.

On Tuesday, I switched it on to find it had been infected with a virus that had encrypted all my files - eek! Thankfully the lovely chaps at the local repair shop have been able to remove the virus but it was bloody scary! 

My luck improved on Tuesday afternoon, I won an iPad in a survey my uni sent out to previous graduates (or alumni if I wish to sound a bit posh!) and I went to pick it up today! 

I spent 5 minutes outside and inside my old uni posing for photos with my pretty new toy - the closest experience I'll ever have to being a model! Lol 

It scares me sometimes how much I rely on my gadgets/technology. 
I spend a lot of time on my laptop, whether it's job hunting, filling out applications, blogging, catching up on TV shows....but I also do most of those things on my phone too.

If I didn't have either, I'm not sure how I'd fill my time alone! That worries me, I think I need to start having more adventures to fill my time...... :-) 

I also had a nice shopping trip with my mother and had a Nutella milk shake - let's hope the good luck continues :-).

Today's Shoes

Technically I've had two pairs of shoes on today but for the most part I had on my super comfy green boots! 
They are designed to look a bit like Docs but they were a total bargain for everything5pounds.com! 
They zip up the side so the laces are just to make your foot feel a little more secure - best fiver I ever spent!

I'm Grateful For: Autumn Joys

I did it again, I went nearly a whole year without posting anything, because I'm rubbish. If you're new here, I do this. If you're not new, you know this.  I have no real excuse this year - last year was the year of opposites, I had a lot on at work, my mother and father in law died 21 days apart, I got married four months later, there was grief, there was a Canadian honeymoon, there was stuff going on. I'd be lying if I said this year had been smooth sailing, but there's been more of a sense of calm.  I get to autumn and I get all airy fairy and contemplative, it's no longer about making it through the year, it's, as my boss beautifully put it this week, limping towards Christmas.  Years ago, and about three blogs ago - if you can be bothered scrolling far enough through the archive I've uploaded here - I used to write happy lists of all the things that made me happy, because I was a bit like Joy from inside out - happy because happy and even when it...

Quirky Reads: The Joy of No

It might be February already but I said I wanted to read more books this year than I did last year so here is my musings on the first book I've finished reading this year!  Quick Review Genre(s): Self Help/Motivation  Who Wrote It: Summerdale Publishers Did I Dig It?: Heck yeah! 2 Second Summary: Some sound advice on saying no. Quirky Queen Rating: 👑 👑👑👑👑  5 out of 5 Crowns from me on this occasion. Every once in a while I need a reminder that saying no is not only acceptable, but necessary.  I also read it while my neighbour was having carpets fitted and it distracted me from the loud hammering! Extended Musings I think I've mentioned before that I struggle when it comes to saying no.  I'm aware of the word's existence and can use it, I just don't like doing it.  While reading through some of the advice in this book, I found myself nodding along at alot of the section titles because I struggle saying no in those situations.  My biggest problem...

Morning cup of nonsense

I’m forty-ish minutes into my working day, I’m not dressed yet, my curly hair has succumbed to bedhead and needs washed and I’m still wearing my muppets pyjama top. However, my morning cup is filled with caffeine and enough flavour that I can’t taste the coffee, so I decided it was time for a blog! Here we!  I was reading an email the other day - I always read mailing list/marketing & comms emails as I know a Rachie somewhere has worked on that and that the stats will help whether I’m a converted to end goal reader or not. Anyhusan, it was about how to get buy in from colleagues for your work and to be honest, I don’t think that’s as big a struggle as getting buy in from myself.  I am forever telling myself not to try things, not to suggest things, not to experience things. And why? Because it might not work? Because someone might think it is or I am rubbish? So what?  Other people try things and it doesn’t work - generally speaking, no bad thing happens. So what’s st...
