Hey Sweeties,
Firstly the most exciting thing to mention today is that it’s the 1 year blogaversary of ClaireySweetie –yippee! …and how far we have come! Huge thanks to everyone that reads and follows; means tons and fingers crossed there are many more years (& followers) to come!
Secondly. As most of you were no doubt aware, last night was my work Christmas party and it was a Wild West themed do in a marquee (in the car park)! There was a free bar (a bugger when you’re driving), a rodeo bull, a live band, line dancing and American girls in denim hot pants a’ plenty! It was a bit cringey to begin with but once people got into the swing of things it turned into a really fun evening. It was also good because towards the end when all the Exec Board were made to go up and do a dance by themselves (partnering with the hot girls of course), we all stood around watching and laughing and I just had a moment where I was just so thankful to have found a company where I just fit. I still have a bit of a journey here to find my perfect role but in terms of the people and the company itself, I wouldn’t change it.
Howdy!
I had been gearing myself up for the rodeo bull/bucking bronco for ages, determined to do well and put my many years of riding to good use. Turns out, it’s actually quite difficult and I should have watched a few more people take their turn and pick up some techniques before entering the ring myself. But never mind; all good fun!
Whoops!
The best part of the night was the raffle; there were some fantastic prizes up for grabs –all tickets to see various acts at The O2 so I bought two strips of numbers to give myself a good chance; I had my heart set on Take That and Olly Murs. Unfortunately it wasn’t to be but amazingly I did though win four tickets to see Disney on Ice on Boxing Day! The in-laws and Ian are yet to be informed of this (sorry darling if you have read this first) but I am excited to go! Anyone else happened to have seen this, any good?
Until tomorrow x
