Yup...am knackered! Dunno if you saw my facebook status but I bu88ered up my alarm so ended up getting up and showered at 1 am instead of 5 am so of course never really got back to sleep (wide awake from the shower
) so only had about 3 hours sleep and didn't get back until 9 last night......going to have a quiet day today me thinks.....
Interview went well, met the financial advisor to the Royal family that I would be working with, he was very quiet and it was a bit difficult to 'read' him....anyway if I get it, fine.....if not well.....it's nearly summer! The London office, though, is at the back of John Lewis! I did get some fabulous jeans but seeing the slating that I got for even admitting that I like some designer stuff....well I'll keep the details of my shopping to myself! Let's just say that my credit card got a BIG hit.....but Paul thought that the jeans looked great....from him that's a compliment indeed and they were a size 12 I started off by trying 14's cos they seemed tiny but it was soon apparent that they were way too big. In fact my jeans are an 8 cos they're an American designer.....might have to wear the size tag on the outside!
Managed not to have any Starbucks, a big weakness of mine when I was in London every week, and only had an egg mayo sandwich for lunch and a couple of Be-YU bars for breakfast. It was late when I got back so I just had some cereal. Slept like a log.
Happy Wednesday everyone, shi77y day here, very foggy and drizzly....feel like going back to bed for a couple more hours, but got loads to do though so will just leave the coffee machine on and drink it dry!

Glad your interview went well - when will you find out if you got the job?
I would MOST definitely be wearing that label on the outside! If I'd be a size 10 in America I think I'd better plan a trip
Have a nice quiet day, you deserve to rest especially after the alarm debacle!! x

Thx Jan, within the next 10 days or so.....I've had an email this morning asking me to submit my expenses......
I am bloody thrilled about the jeans and I didn't have to try on that many, I might post a picture later and you can all give me an honest opinion.......ok so don't be tooooo honest!
Just been to the gym for a workout, want to have sausages for dinner and they're quite a lot of calories, I'm trying to only have two instead of my usual three so I've only taken five out of the freezer.....planning!

No, they are from the Middle East......no more cleavage on show if I get this job! They are of the ilk that drive solid gold Bentleys.......ie a bit rich!
Will deffo do a photo...I find it quite helpful to see a photo, it's easier to be objective than just looking in the mirror.....which I STILL hate doing

No, I don't know if you're aware of Jersey's status as an offshore financial centre....aka tax haven, well I advise on the set up, management and administration of the trusts and companies that wealthy individuals, or corporations, set up over here in order to avoid paying huge amounts of tax. When this family's wealth is safely over here I'll be traveling around the Middle East encouraging all their mates to do the same.
I owned a similar company but sold up early last year, now I want to work but don't fancy the hassle, or the expense, of running my own company again - particularly in a global recession!
Sorry about the long-winded answer......I will have my own PA if I get the job of course
