zzzzz....

dont have much to say im tired.......will update soon...

yesterday........

I meant to blog last night but I was too tired!!! yesterday I spent the whole day at a conference with work!! It was really good gave me a better insight into the company and how it is structured!! The latest products and promotions for 2011 were also presented to us!! We got a few freebies but unfortunately I cant post pictures of them as they have not been launched yet so it will have to wait!! I can say that its just new ranges from Dove, pepsodent and Lipton! 

We also had a chance to taste all the new flavours and selections of ice cream from GB (equivalent of Walls in UK). I like one particular flavour but as for the other products i cant say which one!!! Will let you know which one at a later date!!! 

Hmm they fed us well yesterday for both lunch and dinner!! Lunch consisted of a buffet. Dinner was a 3 course meal I only managed to get a picture of the dessert!! After there was a band and there was some dancing!!!  as a result I am shattered now!!! lol Im getting old!!!

Ohhhh.. before I forget I there is a also a new flavour of Ben & Jerry ice cream that I KNOW IM GONNA LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  

Today I had a very productive day got loads done and learnt lots of new things!!...thats it for now need to do some laundry ..........zzzzzzzzzzz

New job....

Helllo people!!!

I didnt have time to write a blog yesterday as I was absolutely shattered when I got back from work!!! First day was busy but it was fun!! its good busy!! i love the athmosphere and the people are great its so relaxed! Im not used to constant "fika" breaks (closest translation would be coffee breaks)!! This is a crucial part of swedish culture.  

My day started with a monday morning meeting looking at sales figures for the company! I was told that we would get breakfast aswell but we didn´t yesterday! I guess ill have to wait and see!! Another really cool thing about the job is the FREEBIES hehhe!! Everywhere you go in the office there are stacks and stacks of promotional products!! so will be coming home with a few goodies once a day!! Today i brought home a fashion magazine they give us those too! lol!  The bad thing about these goodies aswell is that they serve cakes everyday I tend to stick to the fruit as cakes do not do any favours to my figure hehe!!! 

I made a few friends at work aswell! hehe they even filled me in on the latest gossip. Today most of my team were off sick or at a conference. So I was on my own for most of the afternoon.  I got in early today so finished early too always nice to be home before 5 p.m!!! I must say getting up early isnt too bad although I do feel that lil extra tiredness towards the end of the day.

So totally off the subject the snow has pretty much melted and that means its slippery!!! I haven´t fallen yet (touch wood))!!!!!  Its so slippery that I have had to ask James to walk me to the station in the morning and pick me up!! I do have a wonderful husband!!! 

Ok so tomorrow I´m going to a conference with work in the evening there will be drinks, dinner and a bit of dancing!! will try to take photos!!! 

Thats it for now more updates tomorrow!!! or maybe later.........

Bruno Mars - "The Lazy Song" (Studio Session) LIVE!!!!

just wanted to post this video its relevant to what I will be doing tomorrow  relevant to what I will be doing tomorrow......

follow me....

Today has been yet another lazy day..... well i didn't sit around all day we did some general cleaning James helped my dad put up some shelves and we also put up a mirror in our room (our temporary humble room at my parents). Flat hunting is still in progress!! first step is to start the job then next step is flat hunting!!

We watch Megamind today.. it was funny but not the best and last night (more like 5 am in the morning) I watched Salt now I must say Im not into action movies but found it very entertaining!! James and I are now contemplating on what to watch it is now it is almost 2.30 a.m. I think we both suffer from insomnia!! hmmm not good for me as I will be starting work on monday so tomorrow night I will need to sleep early!!! wish me luck!!!

Tomorrow is going to consist of more chillaxin... cause yes as I mentioned monday is the big day!! I´m abit nervous... but i'll let you all know how it goes!! Im trying to figure out what to wear on my first day to work.... I wanna where my overknee boots (still need to upload a picture) but I think it might be too slippery as the snow is melting oh well we shall see!!

It scares me that Im not tired at all and no one in the house seems to be tired either lol.. everyone is sitting either with a computer infront of the television or playing on their Iphones or Ipods... hmmmm... something definately wrong with this picture :P!!! why isn´t anyone tired???? 

before I forget to mention it I joined twitter..... @mrs_retrato add me or follow me.. I mean still getting used to the whole twitter lingo and have no clue how to use it just curious about it!!

Today I was also able to chat to my sister in law and my nephews and nieces inlaw.. i miss them so much! they are all going to the Philippines tomorrow for 3 months!!! Im so jealous wish I could go!!! 

so this is it.....for now if I can't sleep later I maybe back for more updates.......

here is a picture that has no relevance to anything I´ve written about today apart from that fact that is is a picture of me!!!!

Friday.... I think...

Since not working i have lost track of days!! When working Fridays become the favourite day of your week! I'm sure in the next couple of weeks I will be saying TGIF!! hehe!! 

So today today I woke up at midday!!! ahh gonna miss waking my lie ins!! hehe! I went to see my lovely friend Elahe and her son Vincent the cutie pie!!! it was good to see her we literally live 3 minutes away from eachother but since Ive been ill I havent been able to see them in over a week! as always we ended up just sitting and chatting away while she was feeding vincent and drinking our apple cinnamon tea (have to try it its heavenly)!!! 

 For those who dont know Elahe and I have known each other since we were 12 we lost contact for awhile whilst I was in London but we got in touch again a few years back!! everytime we are together we still act as if we are 14 years old hahah.. we still talk about the backstreet boys lol! (no joke).... 

Now Im back at home its 4 p.m and its really dark outside feels like its bedtime again! tonight Im going to try to sleep earlier!!  well thats it for me now! I´ll leave you with a pic of Vincent!!!  I took it from Elahes blog!!

toodles!!

sooooo CUTE!!!

NYE!

I realise that I am late with my updates but here we go!!

This year new years eve was spent with family!!! We spent the evening at my aunts place!! James was the chef for the evening.. amazing menu the whole evening just consisted of eating!!!

I've attached a few photos from the evening!! We all went out to the field in our local area to go watch the fireworks we didnt buy any ourselves this year!! it was lovely as the clock struck 12 the snow fell from the sky and we all started throwing ourselves into the snow fun times! although I think all this play in the snow resulted in me getting ill!!! but all worth it I guess! so I leave you with a few pictures from new years eve!

Wishing everyone a fantastic exciting 2011!!!!  I got a feeling that its gonna be an eventful year!!! :)!! positivity all the way!!!!!

Thank you to my lovely husband!!!! 

I´m back!

So yes I know I haven't been very good at updating my blog.. think i haven´t updated since christmas or even before that! so as you all know James is in Sweden! so we can count that as one of the reasons why I haven't updated my blog so I will have to do it all retrospectively! obviously not every day since christmas but I guess the highlights but ill do that in a separate.

now let me just brief you on the past couple of days!! So after the new years I got ill. Got all feverish and achy so was bed bound for a couple of days!! since then i think my body has just been recovering. I am taking advantage of my last week of being able to sleep till noon! next week Im back to business!!! its been 3 months since I have been working so its gonna be exciting! Im a little nervous but more excited!! i do hope that snow settles a little before then i woke up to a mild snow storm this morning!!! 

oh one more thing I want to add!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ADELE!! HAVE A LOVELY DAY!!!

so thats it for now more updates later!!

ciao!!
