Hiiiiiiiiii!


I spent the night in Aberdeen last night.  I went to work as usual in the morning, then I caught the 3pm train from Edinburgh to Aberdeen.  It was a long journey but it wasn't too bad...  luckily nobody sat next to me for the whole journey :)


Once I got to Aberdeen it was dark and freezing.  It was about half 5 in the evening.  I got off the train and got in the queue for a taxi.  £11.50 it cost me from the station to the hotel!  Thankfully I can claim it back.  I stayed at the Hilton Treetops.  It looked impressive from the outside, and the reception area was lovely, but the rooms were nothing special at all.  I'd go as far as to say that the rooms at the Premier Inn are faaaaaaaaaaaar nicer and better.  And bigger.  Plus I didn't even get a double bed, it was 2 single beds that I couldn't push together.  Not too bad for me.... I'm quite a small person, but I was in my boss's room briefly and his room was the same.  Thought they might of been able to sort him out at least.  Anyway, he (my boss) wasn't arriving til about half 8 so I had a few hours to myself.  I went down at got dinner.  It was weird sitting in the hotel restaurant eating on my own.  Food was quite nice.  After my boss got there and we sorted everything out, it was about 9pm.  I ran myself a gorgeous bath and sat in the lovely bubbles reading Glamour while listening to my iTunes.  After that I had a shower n all that, got ready n went to bed.  


This morning was a bit crazy, trying to get my manager to fax something through to the hotel to us from Edinburgh.  After that headed off to the event (which is why we were in Aberdeen in the first place).  My boss did his thing while I sat at the back whispering and emailing.  Then we were off!  On the road back to Edinburgh in the car.  We got back about 13:30 and it was straight back to work.  After the catch up chats and lunch.  Didn't get finished til about 7pm though, so I'm shattered tonight.


I'm currently watching When Harry Met Sally and I'm hoping it finishes soon coz t's a bit boring to be honest. Do you like it? xx

I Like That

I'm having a lazy Sunday!  Have spent the morning lying in bed with bf catching up on the soaps we missed during the week.  Have now had a shower and am sitting on the couch watching Doctor Who while he watches the football.


On Friday night I went to Glasgow for dinner with a couple of girls from work.  Yesterday me & bf went to the cinema to see Paul (loved it, really funny) and then for dinner at Zizzi's.  We then came home and watched a dvd of Sweet Sixteen, then had an early night :)


As I say, quiet one today then back to work tomorrow.  I have to be in work for 08:30 then I'm getting the 15:00 train to Aberdeen.  Staying overnight there (in the Hilton, woop woop) and then got stuff in Aberdeen on Tuesday morning.  Travelling back to Edinburgh in the car after that.  Bit fed up with work just now so hopefully a wee trip to Aberdeen will cheer things up a bit!


I get paid roundabout a week from today.  I can't wait, as I have been lusting after some lovely stuff from the flat, most of it from BHS!  I don't often buy stuff from or venture in to BHS, but I wandered in the other day and found some gorgeous stuff...

There is also a lovely little kitchen roll holder which I seen the shop but can't find on the website.  It's kind of cream coloured and has a little bird on it :) can't wait to buy some of this stuff, especially the cushions! xx
