Hello my chums
Last few weeks were very busy, I've been out and about for work and it seems I had hardly any spare time. But my efforts have paid off.. A new position was created in my office, I new about it for quite a while, it feels like it dragged quite a bit but I can tell you know I got this job!! It's a step up for my position, a significant salary increase and, of course, responsibilities are much greater and I will be managing 6 people. It will be both exciting and challenging! I don't have managerial experience..however I do have management degree which is finally going to pay off and I will also get some further training. I actually have booked a course in January and will be looking into more courses. I think this is such a perfect opportunity for me and I need to make the most of it! This job will also mean more travel to London, I don't really mind! Might actually go to see a show and meet my cousins who live there.
Tomorrow we're having staff Christmas party at a Spanish restaurant so I will celebrate this tomorrow with my colleagues!

Friday night I had dinner with my girlies at Pablo's. It was a joint birthday dinner, we all have birthdays in December, there is also another friend with December birthday but she wasn't able to make it. To burn a few calories we took a walk around the harbour. It's beautiful at night, many people had Christmas decorations up already. Even though it was Friday night, it was incredibly quiet and for some reason sea looks sinister at night. Saturday and Sunday flew by incredibly fast and I am about to face my last week at work this year!
I still need to get a few presents before I go but most of them are taken care of. I'm looking forward to spending Christmas in Germany, it will be a nice change.

I've hardly been in the office this week, been travelling around a bit, I feel like I spent most of my days on a train travelling for meetings and training. I had to go to Milton Keynes, but the whole journey I couldn't see much through the window. It's been very foggy lately. I missed a very nice shot of Lewes in fog because I didn't have my camera on me and my phone is not so good (oh if only I had Lumia 1020). Luckily I had taken my camera with me the next day when I had to go to London for a meeting, though it was quite hard to take pictures through a window and it wasn't as foggy any more.
I had such a busy week and I'm behind with a few things, I need to do so much before the holidays but I don't have time! I haven't planned anything for my trip in Lisbon and not sure when I'll be able to do that! I'm off today but there are a few things I need to do for work (I'll tell you more about that next week), some social events to attend to and I really need to catch up with my sleep!

I have the tree up already but haven't finished decorating, I'm very much into nordic decorations, but I haven't found much of these kind of decorations on the high street. I might have to buy some online.
Here is some Christmas inspiration from Pinterest.

I met up with Marta yesterday, we went to Little Christmas in Little Chelsea. It was the same as last year, reindeer, lots of stalls with cupcakes and other food. There were so many people, it was hard to get through. Most of the shop in the South Street were open, including a bridal shop, so popped in and had a look at various dresses. Me and the shopkeeper convinced Marta to try on one of the dresses as it was in her size, she has only tried bigger sizes so this was a nice change. It fitted rather well, but some adjustments would be needed, but I doubt this is The Dress.
People outside the shop could see her through the window and they cheered and some man gave thumps up. This was the first shop to let us take pictures of the dress. Such a nice change! It will be easier to compare it with other dresses and make a decision.
We went to Italian restaurant to have dinner. I usually tend to eat the same dish at this restaurant. My work girlfriend as I like to call her nowadays, always bugging me to try something new, so I went for cannelloni spinach ricotta but I didn't enjoy it much. Though I think it was the way it was done rather than the dish itself, I would try the same dish in a different restaurant.For now though, I'll stick to tortellini aurora, sorry, Jess.

I noticed recently a few backlash against very fit women, namely Maria Kang and Caroline Berg Eriksen.
It's absolutely incredible that she canlook like this 4 days after giving birth, I find this rather inspiring. While everyone's genetics are different, keeping fit during pregnancy and after certainly helps, yet these ladies received so much hate messages and feel offended by these pictures.Some of the hate comments are both hilarious and sad at the same time:
WHO ARE YOU TO POST THIS IMAGE? What do you want to say with this picture? Who are you talking to? What is the good purpose here? Why is this positive?
Aabel said she works with teenage girls and is afraid of what message they will take from this picture.
I think these ladies are rightly proud about their body, they worked really hard to achieve this and I'm genuinely impressed by them. I've been browsing Caroline's blog and I'm loving it.
I recently started exercising again, I want to strengthen my back muscles and tone my stomach so this blog is really encouraging. She post lots of pictures of fashion, her house which is beautiful and understated and her travels and recipes. I'm adding her to my feedly!
