Round and round the Mulberry bush

Blogging on my lunch hour, I never thought I’d see the day! Working monday to friday, 8am-7pm is taking its toll on my ‘usual’ routine. Lots of other things which I normally have more time to do in the evenings have taken priority over blogging – please forgive me. I’ve had these pictures saved in a blank post for a few days now so I thought I’d share while I’m sitting at my desk having a munch. As you can see above, the hard work is paying off because I was able to treat myself to a Mulberry Tillie a couple of weeks ago. I am a total bag lady, and have wanted one for soooo long, I decided to treat myself as I know I have guaranteed wages coming in for the next couple of months while I work on this feature film. Knowing my luck, I wont get another contract all year after this! Haha, just kidding. I hate to tempt fate but anyone else out there who is self employed know what it’s like to get the ‘fear’. I’ve not even taken my bag outside yet, the weather has been bloody awful here in Scotland and I’m worried about rain damage – anyone know what I could do to help protect Miss Tillie?

Since my last update I’ve not really been upto much apart from working, lunch dates at the weekend and a sneaky wee trip to the Blythswood Spa. On saturday night I had a brilliant night out in Glasgow with Katrina (my flatmate – above) her wee brother, Leah, Kyle, and Heather. I wore this dress from AX Paris, which is quite different from the style I would usually go for but I am branching out and quite enjoying it 🙂 Online shopping normally makes me quite nervous regarding sizes, but at AX Paris I have been a size 10 every time without fail and have been very pleased with the fit. This is coming from someone, who depending on which shop can be anywhere from a size 8 to a size 14! Katrina wore a dress from Topshop and her new spikey Jeffry Campbell Lita’s. I was worried about wearing mines because of the rain (again, could a spray or something protect them?) along with my new bag but I am SO glad I didn’t. Lets just say the night ended up with me a bit worse for wear, being sick into Johns £120 suit jacket in the back of a taxi. What can I say, I’m a keeper eh girls! Lucky I got it dry cleaned fine and he forgave me…

Spending a lot of time in the office and browsing the internet on my lunch break (dangerous!) I have been using a programme called Clipix to save all the wonderful things I come across and want to remember! I think this might be quite similar to Pintrest? I’ve not used that before but I’m finding Clipix really friendly to navigate round. You can customise different lists, I’ve just got the default ones just now and I’m starting to build them up slowly. The thing I especially like about my wishlist is that Clipix will notify me if the item changes price or sells out, which is really useful. If you’re like me and love to do a lot of imaginary online shopping, this is great for keeping things together in the one place so you can go back later 🙂 Although, maybe a dangerous thing too as I know there’s no way now I will be forgetting anything off my lust list as it is sitting right there infront of me and not hidden in a website shopping basket somewhere. ‘Organise your life’ is their tagline, which as a manic list writer, could be my favourite motto second to ‘Where there’s tea, there’s hope’.

Me and Katrina had a brilliant night in last night, playing about with some interesting new samples I got for review (think dressing up and tattoos…) and taking lots of photographs so I will be back soon to share them with you all. We are going to see the Katy Perry movie tonight in 3D, cannot wait! (It was Katrina who I went with to meet Katy Perry last year) Major girl crush ♥
