A month of hell. Feeling the cold. Stylish Bloggers.
It has been a whole month since I've last updated here.
I had all these grand plans of updating three times a week, maybe more, if I could fit it in, but the universe had its say and instead decided I needed to have a month from hell.
I've been working ridiculous hours these past weeks - one week I clocked up almost 65 hours. When I haven't been working, I've been sleeping or resting. I've not gone out, I've not done anything exciting.
What's the worst bit? I've not been stylish in the least. I feel like I'm letting the team down!
So, I intend to keep this blog going, but for the meantime, I won't be able to update as much as I'd like to.
With that said, lets get on with the blogging.
I'm off sick this afternoon. I went to bed at 7.45pm last night with the shivers and an aching body. I dragged myself into work around 10am this morning and got as far as 1pm before I had to admit that it just wasn't going to happen and I dragged myself home. Via, of course, the coffee shop where I bought the world's biggest coffee.
So now, I can't sleep and I'm blogging instead. Blogging and shivering, because I'm freezing cold but as soon as I throw on something heavier than a jumper, I'm sweating like a pig. It's really frustrating.
I got nominated by Dee over at Dee is for Dreamer whilst I was offline as a Stylish Blogger. I have to share seven things about myself.
One. I like to play The Sims 2. I think it's because it's a bit like playing Barbies on the computer. I get to dress up people, give them a comfortable life and tell them what to do. I like to think that it helps me control my bossy side.
Two. My favourite travel destination is New York City. Closely followed by Las Vegas.
Three. I'm a crazy woman that doesn't really like chocolate. I only eat it when I've got PMS.
Four. I never thought I'd be a very good blogger and it makes me really happy that I already have some people that comment on my blog and follow me.
Five. It really frustrated me when I went back to Australia last year and people said I had a British accent. I really like my Australian accent and I'd be terribly upset if I lost it for good.
Six. I love incredibly high heels and I'm starting to build a nice collection of them but I hardly ever wear them. My famous £4 flats are almost soleless.
Seven. I cut all of my hair off in 2008. I go through days where I wish I never did it (like today) and then I go through days where I think how clever I am to have such a stylish 'do without any effort.
That wasn't half as hard as I thought it would be. I like this award!
I'm supposed to nominate fifteen bloggers, but the majority of the bloggers that I love and follow have actually already been nominated for this award. If you haven't though, I'd love to see what your seven points about yourself are.
So, with that, it's time for me to finish up now. I'm off to chill out on the lounge with a cup of roobois tea and a thick blanket. The weekend starts now...

Busy. Stress sucks.
| Image Source |
It has been a very busy week in SE3. I have been down a team member and working late to cover it - I didn't get out of the office till past 8pm last night and most nights been working until at least 7pm. For someone that is used to being able to finish up by 6pm and head home it has been a shock to the system.
I am going to visit my family on the weekend in Hastings. I'll be taking my camera to get some shots but I'll be totally unglamourous - I've packed a hoodie, two t-shirts and a pair of jeans. Comfort ahoy.
I'll see you all on the flip side (that's Monday, you know).

Purple and Grey.
Yesterday, I woke up feeling the winter blues, badly. So to combat any potential drabness, I decided to flaunt bright colours and a rocking tartan in grey and purple.
It has been a very long and exhausting week for me and I feel like I have not been making much of an effort, so I will be looking forward to a relaxed weekend where I can sort myself out for the week ahead, even if I can’t afford to get my hair cut and coloured this week. (Boo. Rent, you really suck sometimes)
I spent some time at lunch with my favourite gadget, my iPhone, finding new blogs to read through the Vogue Australia forums. I think people that post there seem to be really nice and super stylish. I have found most of my blogging ‘friends’ through there.
There sure are lots of lovely blogs out there. If you’re not in my sidebar and you have a blog, please let me know, so I can add your blog to my list.
Tomorrow I am heading out to Borough Market to catch up with a friend who has been travelling over the Christmas / New Year period. Since the occupants of the house in SE3 (that’s Mr SE3 and I, by the way) have no money due to aforementioned rent, we will spend lots of time wandering the stalls, trying all the free samples and taking lots of photographs.
Well I will be taking lots of photographs.....
