And that's the way the cookie crumbles

Last night, my string of Christmas parties came to an end. We had our company party and it was amazing! The venue was so cool - set up much like a ski lodge. Food was amazing. Great music. And amazing company.

All in all, it was a good way to close out the media Christmas season.

Now I get to start the real party - my trip home!! I can't wait to leave tomorrow - this time tomorrow, my flight will have been in the air for half an hour!!


See you all very very soon. x

I Heard the Bells (whiskey) on Christmas Day

Oh Broadcast. How I have a love-hate relationship with the parties we put on.

I had my 2nd Christmas party on Tuesday - the infamous Broadcast one. It was a very fun night but it got a bit too silly, mostly in part due to shots.

I'll leave you with a few photos. I've got my 3rd and final Christmas party tonight, the Carat company party. Going to take it easy. But on the bright side, I don't have to be at work until noon tomorrow. AND THEN, only ONE sleep until I come home! I'm beyond excited but I still don't think that I've processed the fact that I'm coming home. Still have to pack.... so much procrastination.

Love you and miss you all, and can not WAIT to see you.

Around the World in 6 hours

We're full on into Christmas party season now. I don't know where the time has gone! Firstly, can't believe it's already December. Secondly, can't believe we're almost half way through December. Work has been a whirlwind. Early closedowns, lots of campaigns... just trying to keep my head screwed on.

On Wednesday, I had my first Christmas party of the season. It was our floor party. Lou organised the whole thing. The theme was Around the World and was a costume party. We all dressed up as different citizens of the world. I chose to go as Cleopatra. It was an awesome evening and loads of fun!

Here is a photo of me and the rest of my team. As you can see, everyone put in a lot of effort!


I'm coming home in 8 days! This is what's keeping me going. Next week is going to FLY by. It's very busy, work wise and socially. Tuesday is the big Broadcast Christmas party. Wednesday I have a lunch with the J&J team and one of the contractors. Thursday is the Carat party. Friday is radio drinks. And then Saturday, I leave!

The best part of Friday next week is I get to sleep in! With the floor party, everyone was allowed to come in at noon the next day - apart from TV, mostly because we have early closedowns to deal with. So to be fair, we get to come in late next week. Friday will go by so fast!

I can not wait to come home for a White Christmas!

Love you all x
