shots all round!

(looking slightly worse for wear..)

I've been putting this post off a while, because I was hoping to get some nicer photos from Saturday night, as i stupidly forgot to take any of my outfit/dress due to running late *facepalm*. No-one seems to have posted any on Facebook (my only resource sigh), so I stole this one that Nanci had of us both! The dress is from Topshop; I got it 1-2 years ago now? Don't take my word on that! It's quite fitted, with elbow length sleeves, and your back is shown, as it's slightly cut out. It looks gorgeous on, and I adore it!

I had quite a good night (from what I can remember...). We had our staff party in a function room, where we had drink tokens for free drinks (yipee!), so everyone got pretty messy. Afterwards we went into Romford (I'm sure some of you may have heard of it - it isn't the nicest of places), where we went to a club/bar called Brannigans - it basically plays cheesy/pop music all night, and when you've had one too many, it is the best night! 

I'm trying to start planning my 21st too... It's not until March, but I want somewhere booked, and I want to know how many people will be coming! I've looked into places such as Tiger Tiger and Roadhouse (I'll be going London btw), so I would love any recommendations of good places to go! Pref where you can book a table or booth :)

My resolutions are going.... so/so. I forgot I had an essay due tomorrow - Christmas and New Year threw me completely out of sync - so instead of doing it now, I am writing this. Woops. Healthy eating isn't toooooo bad! I treat myself properly on weekends, and in the week, if I fancy a packet of crisps, then I'll have some, but I'm trying not to over-indulge and making sure I have (a good) breakfast, lunch & dinner! I'm going back to the gym Friday, which I am not looking forward to /sadface. However I need to shift this excess Christmas weight, and I want lovely slim legs & tum to match! Wish me luck!

Anyway, I suppose I better go shift my arse and do this essay; thankfully I'm not in work till 11:30 tomorrow (hello 10am lay in), so I don't need to sleep anytime soon! I always find getting 'into' the essay is the hardest part though... especially when I am lost with what to write! I shall do a proper entry in the next day or two once I've finally stopped stressing and I can write a decent entry with plenty of photos! Till next time....

(my face isn't meant to be in this, I did it on purpose to get a better view of the top - promise!)

I'm kinda cheating with this post, as I took these photos at the beginning of the week, shhh. I'm still not feeling 100%, and I've been super busy, so I haven't got 'round to doing this entry! I'm going to a 'best and worst of 2010 in photos' this week, as looking at all you lot doing mine has inspired me to also do one! It's a good way to look back on the year :)

It's my work Christmas party on Saturday (a bit late, no?), and I am having a m.a.r.e about what to wear. I work in retail, and have had the same job for four years, so I know pretty much everyone in my store. However, because of this, it makes me uneasy on how to dress! Those who work in retail will know what I mean, when I say about how gossipy/bitchy it is. Too underdressed and I will look like I've just stepped off the streets, and too overdressed, I'll look like I'm going to a wedding (well, this is how people I work with will see it as!). I'm not to particularly care what people think of me, but I wish to look nice and make an effort! I have a couple of dresses in mind, so I'll post a photo Saturday! 

Back to Uni Monday too, boo. With all the Christmas and New Year rush, I haven't got 'round to completing an essay due at the end of the next week. So guess what tomorrow will consist of doing... yup you've got it, bed, reading, napping and eating. (not really, I'll make a start on it... maybe..). 

It is going to kill me getting up at 6:15am next week, I've got too used to laying in till 10am most days! However it will mean I get to put videos on my new iPad, which will make train journeys a bit more bearable! Im also planning on rekindling my friendship with the gym tomorrow/next week; god help me!

Did many of you make many resolutions for the new year? Mine are (so far);

• Eat more healthy (farewell biscuits, my dear friends)
• Go to the gym more, and stop being such a sloth
• Start my essays early (pah!)
• Stop over-worrying, over-thinking & generally being a stress head!

I am looking forward to seeing if I manage to last with any of these ; especially number one and four! I want to hear yours too!
