Manic Mondays

Monday was spent at work - as per. Being stressed out - again as per usual. One of those days when in the morning it all seems fairly clear and smooth sailing; but by 1pm you are madly rushing from one meeting to another.

I have decided that I need a personal desk masseuse. This type of stress makes me need a back rub - if I get tense the muscles in my back and neck go CRAZY. This only serves to make me grumpy as anything, so wat I decided to do on Monday was head to the gym after work to burn off some aggression. Well, this only served to make me feel tired and therefore MORE grumpy.

Needless to say - Monday was a BAD DAY.

It also involved discovering that my MOT was due (eeeek), that my car needs a service as well AND that its brake fluid needs changing. Add to this the fact that the blooming thing needed taxing at the beginning of the month and you have a VERY expensive month for car ownership. Anyway - at least its a pretty little thing and so can be easily forgiven.

Tuesday

So - today I appear to have spent the majority of the day on a conference call. I have been shouted at twice (which was nice), but mainly these things consist of sitting around and waiting for a gap in which to give your tuppence worth. The only things I come away with are a feeling that the whole thing could be done more efficiently and a headache.

I have various errands to run this evening, but unfortunately I still have a to do list as long as my arm. *Sigh* I was hoping that I would be able to pop into the gym or pick up some shopping - but it appears that I have to assist the press office in writing an article. The trials and tribulations of holding office, I guess.

The highlight of my day today? Looking at dresses online to wear to Darren's birthday party! As it's in Volupte to start and then onto Ronnie Scott's - I want something that evokes both burlesque and the jazz era:

I feel like I might just have to buy them all!!! I have fiund a new love of Bettie Page Clothing and a new site - Pin-Up Parade. Now all I need to do is win the lottery...

In all seriousness, I think that the first dress (the Secretary Dress by Bettie Page) is the ONE. Just need to find a UK stockist and we're good to go!!!
