Just a little recap...

Apologies for my 3 month plus sabbatical from the blogosphere, however due to my lack of travel I wasn't sure whether blogging about my everyday working life would be half as exciting as the life of a traveler. I am in the process of putting together a second blog which would sort of revolve around life after university, but can't wait think of a name... suggestions welcome. So feel free to read that once created, if that's your thing. So an update from my time away from the Elephant Never Forgets...

August  
 Managed to get a pub job (4 minute walk away from home) a week after returning from Asia
Celebrated my Tash's birthday

·         Saw Steph a few times in Bristol 
·         Went to Centre Parcs with family friends 
·         Got offered a job as Marketing Co-ordinator
  
September 
·         Started my new job  
·         Saw Steph again in Bristol 
·         Got my first parking ticket 
·         Saw a friend in Covent Garden for dinner 
·         Invited to my first baby shower 
·         Lots of time at my new gym - even took dad 
·         Visited Debbie in Manchester with Mel 

October 
·         My other friend's baby was born, a beautiful baby girl, Maia 
·         Went to a work team away day

November 
·         Went to a family friend's 18th 
·         Picked Debbie up from the airport 
·         Graduated with a first 
·         Went to Sport's Reunion and had a very late night (early morning) 
·         Nathan moved to Wokingham 

And I think that's everything up-to-date!! As you can see not interesting enough to blog intensely about. In terms of upcoming travel plans, I'm heading to Mauritius with my mum, dad, brother, granny, granda, auntie, uncle and two cousins in December for 8 days and then skiing at some point in January with mum and dad. Then later in the year I'm travelling again but until I have these confirmed I won't blog about them. 

For my family in warmer continents than the UK, British weather took a turn for the worst this morning ( 1degree) which meant I had to scrape the ice of the car which is not ideal when you are already running late for work, however thankfully dad has somehow convinced mum to put on the heating, which means that I actually want to get out of bed in the morning because I'm sweating too much. Don't think I am complaining, because I'm not, my new room (the extension, for those of you that know my house) is freezing so without heating, leaving my bed in the morning is positively traumatic.
