Speedy update

I realise I have been slack lately, and I apologise. There's been lots of changes at home, and I've ended up with very little PC-time! Which is why I'm taking a sneaky break at work to post this. :)
One place I've managed to keep up-to-date, is Twitter, I have become a Tweet-o-holic of late! Such a simple system, but damn, it's fun! I use Tweetdeck at home, and Twitterfox at work to keep up to date with my tweets. Feel free to follow me as you wish.

Workwise - I got promoted. No longer a frontline monkey, I'm now part of the team that grade, coach, and train the frontline monkeys! Taking the best parts of my previous job, and helping other people improve. It's very much "me", and the pace of work is awesome. It used to be a case of a constant flow of work, no downtime other than a lunch break, and it was making me very stressed. Now I have a weekly quota, and I plan my own time accordingly. The hours are very different, I finally have a "real" working week! No more shifts for me. Just plain old Monday-Friday, 9-6. Unfortunately, Rach is still on shifts, but she's at least managed to switch teams, so she now works Tuesday-Friday, 12-11.

Rach and I recently returned from a trip to her parents. We had a really great time, catching up with family, and did a lot of shopping! I finally got to visit the B Never store in Leeds too, and wow, it didn't disappoint. I'm more hooked than I was before! My favourite purchase has to be the Ding Dong box set, of 21 liquid eyeshadows! I use them as bright eyeliner, and am having lots of fun experimenting.The other major change, is our new regime/lifestyle/whatever you want to call it. Choosing healthier options, consciously cutting out on "junk" food, and regular visits to the gym over the road! It's costing us a fair whack to join, which we are hoping will be extra motivation to go. To help us track our progress, and also hopefully get support, we're blogging our slimming journey as we go. In the next few days Chicka Cuccina will get updated with our goals, and loads of other details. Rach and I will both be blogging there, so please follow us, comment, and give us plenty of encouragement along the way!

For now I shall bid you all adieu. Have a great Wednesday!
