Ain't it great when a plan comes together!

Sorry about the delay in updates, things went a bit nuts there - well here are the pic's of my (almost) finished room..

It feels like my space now and is a lot more chilled to be in! Not a bad transformation huh?

On the work front, things are going well at the Red Lion, only 4 weeks left there now.

I took the job with PEEL after they took out having to do DJ/Tech, made me DSM/Lighting Tech which means I am in the main lounge all the time and I still get to do the lectures and talks etc which should be interesting. I leave on the 31st of March. During my time onboard (if I am there for the entire contract 'til Nov 8) then I will visit the Canaries, Scandanavia and Russia, The Med and then down to the Red Sea with a few weeks in Egypt - I am sooo chuffed - especially about the Egypt bit! :))

The down bit in the last 2 weeks is that Vix has broken up with her fiance. Feel's a bit odd; at least it wasn't really a shouty/screamy break-up.

Frasier for the working girl!

Well, Over the last few days I've made good progress, and my viewing (in the background!) of choice has been series 1 - 4 of Frasier, Everybody Loves Raymond S1 and 1-3 of Red Dwarf. I find it much more effective than music for some reason!

Old Bathroom:
I papered the window area. and finished painting everywhere. Now just have a few finishing touches.

My Room:
Have papered the window area and the painting is almost done (just the woodwork to neaten up. I decided to paint the window area, and it paid off. The room looks a lot brighter. My colours finally went on (I LOVE the blue - although I pity the poor sod who tries to paint over it!) and now there's just the shelves to put up and the desk area to build!

Painting progress:

One of those days..

Have now felt vaguely depressed for about 2 days.. I hate it when I get I like this, I start obsessing about things and getting all het up over nothing - sometimes it sucks being female!

Managed to take my Jujitsu trousers to work instead of my apron tonight, thought I'd lost my key but then found it in the pocket I'd already checked 5 times, got stopped from using the food till - "until I've been shown how" Exactly how does he think I managed on Saturday when there was only me on.....? Ah well, it was still a good night and I do enjoy working there.

On the work front I am currently considering the P.E.E.L offer of DSM again. Spoke to M today, a guy I trust and get on with, who explained things well and did a good job of boosting my self esteem. He said they had created the role for me because they wanted to invest in me and help me with my career - wow, now I feel pretty humble!

Have progressed well with the decorating, paper now over the polestyrene in the bathroom and the final layer of paint on the oerh walls. Progress pic's soon.

Update:

Old Bathroom: Put Polestyrene on the outside wall, painted the other walls (I did not choose this colour! - we wanted something lighter but there wasn't - not in Kitchen & Bathroom, anyway!)

My Room: Polestyrened the window wall, hung my first piece of wallpaper (well lining paper) EVER!

"Look It's straight and everything!"

And then I did the rest of the room except the window area.
