Nikki<3 said:Thanks
Ooo what in? What was your degree? Xx
xj-esx said:I did graphic design as my degree but I didn't really do "graphic design" I went into art and exhibition curation instead as I'm not interested in graphics however my course was so open that you can do anything you wanted really as long as it was creative. I put on a few exhibitions in London myself and got to work with the Tate, think a book I wrote is going to be published in the Tate library at some point, so excited!! I'd love to do an MA in curation. I really like being in education haha. I'm struggling to find a job at the moment being unemployed is horriblexx

Nikki<3 said:I love all things creative and arty! Just a shame I couldn't do a "art" degree so to speak. The course I'm doing though has lots of different pathways so eventually I'll get to do history of art and perhaps something a bit more creative.
Sounds like you have done fab for your self hungreat stuff about the Tate! What sort of job are you trying to get into? It's such a tough world at the moment trying to get a job :-( x
xj-esx said:Oo that sounds really good. I bet you'll have a great timeThank you hun. I'm trying to get any job at the moment, anything that pays the rent haha. I have an interview next week at Boots so fingers crossed for that. Ideally I'd love a job as an gallery assistant but there isn't anything like that at the mo xx

A gallery assistant would be an amazing jobI'm all for getting out of a 9-5 desk job but it's just so hard to find something. X
Yesterday was a very busy day right up until 5pm when I just slobbed out on the sofa!!
Food was as follows....
Breakfast:
Actimel (75) 1 weetabix and splash of milk (89)
Snack before gym at 12pm: Chicken tikka wrap (200)
Snack after gym at 2.30pm: quavers (88 ) cheese string (66)
Lunch/Dinner 5pm: Stirfry (343) followed by popcorn (130)
Supper: Cheese and ham toastie (288 )
Snacks: Bite of croissant (50) 4 cheewy sweets (49) 2 cookies (102)
Total cals in: 1460
Exercise (gym & long walk): 568
Net cals: 892
Remaining: 308
Yesterday was a real struggle! After id eaten at 5pm I still had over 700 cals left. Which is why there are a few snacky bits in there.
Hoping today will be a bit better![]()

Breakfast - actimel (75) mullet breakfast corner (161) bite of croissant (60)
Lunch - veg stirfry (205) cheese string (66) gold bar (115)
Dinner - home made lasagne (300)
Snack - toffee (120) cookie (51) sweet (65)
Total cals: 1220
20 over
On reflection there were many places I could have saved calories. Not sure I'll be eating many of the mullet breakfast corners. I feel they are a bit of a waste of cals for what they are.
