*Thud*
It's a good thing us Brits are natural queuers!
I can't believe it's already been three months since I started my full-time job at Beaverbrooks Jewellers (sorry for the lack of updates by the way :P) - I certainly learnt a lot over Christmas and the weeks leading up to it. Who knew we'd have to have a queuing system just to get through everybody?
(Well, my colleagues did - they warned me and the other newbies that we'd be quite tired by the end of Christmas and the New Year sales!)
My colleagues are fantastic (and very funny!) and they've really helped me to settle into this kind of retail. It's very different to what I did before, so it takes some getting used to, but they're very supportive.
They were kind in letting me have New Year off so that I could go and see Dan up in Sunderland - it's been quite difficult as of late to get up and see him, due to us both having full-time jobs. He has weekends free, but I don't quite a lot of the time.
We had an absolutely fabulous time up North - he took me out for dinner on the 30th (*melts*) and then spent New Year's Eve visiting people and briefly visiting Newcastle (as you do). He even drove me all the way back to Nottingham on New Year's Day, only to drive back up the next day! He is good :)
Speaking of Christmas, I got a great baking-related present this year - a cake airbrush! You attach a specific food colouring bottle to a special-looking airbrush thing and you can spray the colour to decorate cakes and icing sculptures! I haven't used it yet, but you peeps will be one of the first to know as I'll probably end up posting it on here :3
I'll have to practise my decorating skills anyway - two of my friends who I have known since secondary school got engaged back in November and they want me to not only be a Bridesmaid, but they want me to make their wedding cake too! Well, I did help them choose the ring! Congratulations Mary and Stephen! :D
Right, I'd best be off - I have Christmas chocolate to polish off and it isn't going to eat itself... *nom*
