Fashion Week

I can't believe it's been a whole month since I wrote on this!

I have just spent the last week taking photos at London Fashion Week and it was amazing. I'm sure the photographers who have done it for years wouldn't agree but for me, it was just such an eye opener. I decided to throw myself into it and pretty much worked 12 hour days, covering on average 2 shows a day, going back and doing my work at the office but also editing my pictures.

At the start of the week I bumped into a mate of mine who works for another agency. He encouraged me to enter this London Fashion Week photo competition (in house-between all the photographers) anyway I did and at the end of the week my picture made the shortlist. I was so chuffed!

Off home this weekend which will be really nice. Planning on staying up to watch the Oscars on sunday night. I think it'll be me, the glitz and glamour and a few cans of red bull!

Roll on February...

I am not enjoying January, why you ask? For the following reasons...

1. It's cold and today I got VERY wet walking to work
2. It's seem like an eternity since my last pay cheque
3. I feel like I should join the gym (I was supposed to have an induction the other day but cancelled and went to the pub instead-I am soooo bad)
4. Big Brother is seriously boring me but sadly I have to watch it as my job involves knowing the every movement of a certain Miss Goody...

I also wasn't very well the other week and on Saturday night I was shattered. I came back from the cinema just wanting an early night, drifted off to sleep, then the aussies below me partied until (no joke) 7am. I went downstairs at 4am and asked for the music to be turned down (it was but then turned up 10 mins later). I went down again at 6am (same again). Sunday was a total write off and to get my revenge I imagined my bedroom floor was a trampoline and jumped up and down over and over again.

I am getting through January thanks to Sex and the City. It is sooo good and I'd never watched it religiously when it was on TV. Sadly one of my workmates accidentally told me what happens to Carrie and Big in the pub the other night...I have pretended I didn't hear her! It's so addictive although it does make me think they date an awful lot. My last date was September, they seem to date every day!

Anyway, I am going to photograph a band called "The view" on Monday which should be good. I haven't taken pictures since last year which is fairly rubbish! I am also hoping to get a pass for London Fashion Week...we shall see... Anyway almost the weekend, I can't wait for a lie in...ahhhh!

Things I want to achieve in 2007

2007- my it's come round quick.

So I've been thinking about things I want to achieve this year and have put together a list...here goes!

1. Learn to be a DJ- yes random but could be fun!

2. Get a BIG picture published in a national newspaper- with my name credited!

3. Get toned up- the gym's a bloody fortune but I gotta do it!

4. Go on a romantic break on the Eurostar - yeah not sure who with but I'll have a think!

5. Get through the Sex and the City boxset _ I'm doing well so far and it's only 2nd Jan!!!

6. Read more (not just trashy magazines!)

7. Make my own cocktail which will become my signature drink- haha!

8. Try and go out on a date with someone OLDER than myself - (not achieved last year)

9. Organise or attend a school reunion- it's been almost 10 years- help!

10. See Jamie Cullum live in concert- oh and be there taking pics!
