I wish I wish

Happy Thursday my pretties :) I am so extremely happy it is Thursday eve, I like this time of the week. Have had a pretty bland/stressful week this far, consisting of editing my portfolio website and applying for jobs. Still no luck with the latter.

This leads me on to Day 11 of my 30 day challenge - What you want more than anything right now.

I am currently wishing for a job that I am passionate about, in London. I don't think this is too big a wish, its achievable so I just need to push that little bit harder. I am hoping that I will look back at this blog post in October and be happy living and working in London.

There are many other things I could wish for that I would love, like a new car or a super dooper holiday, but for now a job will do :)

As a pick me up, Jody took me to a lovely restaurant this evening in Milton Keynes called Turtle Bay. I was a bit hesitant at first as there was a Nando's right next door, usually I wouldn't dare cheat on my beloved peri peri peri chicken. Tonight I did, for some beautiful jerk chicken.

Turtle Bay is a caribbean restaurant where they aim to 'capture the Caribbean island vibe by serving up exceptional, authentic dishes in an environment inspired by the love of laid-back living'. Ooooo it was so tasty. Jerk chicken with sweet potato mash and coleslaw, and then chocolate pie with ice cream for desert. I could eat it all again nom nom. I think there are only a handful of the restaurants around, but you must check it out if you pass one, I will most definitely be returning.

 Much loves

Monday Madness

Hey hey :)

Have just realised its been a week since I last posted, time flies!!

Had a pretty hectic week. My flat mate and I have been asked to move out of our flat as the landlord now wants to rent to just students so we have a month to get out :-/ We have wanted to move down South for quite a while so this was the kick up the bum that we needed.... Even so, its stills a bit daunting. I have handed my notice in at work, the first step to the big move and it wasn't the easiest thing I have ever done. I kept putting it off as, even though I don't like to admit it, I care what people think and don't like upsetting/annoying people. Once it was done though, it felt like a HUGE weight off my mind.

Now I can start flat/job hunting and making all these ideas I have in my head a reality :) I will also be closer to family and friends back in Oxfordshire so can see everyone much more.

Moving also equals packing...again!! I have been living in Nottingham for 5 years, including my three years at uni, and have lived in 6 different houses/flats. That's a lot of packing and unpacking. I can't wait to live somewhere for longer than 10 months... will be a new record.

Have had a pretty laid back weekend. Night in on Friday with a curry and Comic Relief :) and then it was a bit of shopping and chilling for the rest of the weekend. Went out for a few drinks on Saturday night and watched the film Hall Pass, which I am still not to sure on. Owen Wilson as a dad!?! I am used to seeing him playing a 'lad'. Must be a sad day when an actor realises he is past playing that sort of character and has to grow up.

I will be doing a bit of freelance work whilst sorting London out so need to sort my website out, its currently looking very sad and drab. Will also be getting new business cards etc, lots to keep me occupied.

Check out the site Pinterest, I have found it very inspiring. You can pin images you find anywhere on the internet and it will keep them in collections for you. Perfect for inspiration. You are also able to follow other people to see what they have found, and maybe even 'Repin'. When I first joined it was invite only, if it still is, let me know and I will send an invite :) My Pin Boards

Happy Monday
