Recently it was my friends birthday and a group of us decided to head off to London to see Grease The Musical.

We went straight from work on the Friday evening. We stayed at The Chorus Hotel near Kensington Gardens. It was a nice hotel, just down the road from Oxford Street which was a great excuse for some retail therapy. So we got up nice and early Saturday morning and headed to the shops about 9am. Primark was our first stop naturally and after that I think we went into every store on the street. We went to Hamleys the toy shop, which I absolutely loved!! They had everything and I especially loved all the cuddly bears! After about 8 hours of shopping we were sooooooo tired and hungry so we quickly grabbed a pizza from Pizza Hut. We couldn’t face the walk back to the Hotel so jumped in a taxi, which I might add, we didn’t have to pay for!! I think the taxi driver felt sorry for us as he could see we had a hard day shopping

It was then time to get ready for our night at the theatre. We got there around 7pm and the show was fantastic. Ray Quinn ( the runner up to Leonna Lewis Xfactor) played Danny and he was really really good. He had the mannerism and swagger spot on and his voice was brilliant. The rest of the cast were great too, Sandy and the Pink Ladies were such good fun. If you love the film you would really love this. You just want to get up and dance. I didn’t stop smiling from the minute the show started.

On the Sunday we went for a wander around Kensington Gardens, which was really beautiful and peaceful. There was an art exhibition being held there on that day which was a real bonus.

Hopefully before Christmas I will be going to see Phantom of the Opera and I really cant wait!

Here at Flux’s we work really hard ensuring we give great customer service and one of our rewards from the management is our funded Work Outings! On this occasion we decided we wanted to do something different and with Halloween fast approaching we thought we would take a trip to the London Dungeons and scare ourselves half to death!

There’s a water ride there as well which takes you into a dark tunnel where creepy and nasty things jump out at you. Also the Hanging Ride which includes a free fall drop which lasts for about a second but feels like ages. One of my favourites was the Room of Mirrors, (and not because I’m vain), you feel totally disorientated and cant quite work out whats going on!!

You could get anything you wanted to eat from Thai to Italian, Traditional British and Chinese all being cooked in front of you. It would of made us all hungry but we just had a trip to McDonald’s! If you did want to sample the food they had great seating areas, the chairs were miniature motorbikes/scooters over looking the river.

This is my desk and I love it, you can bring stuff from home in and decorate it as you please to make it personal and all homey

On the right side I have a wooden theme going on, these were all made by a local wood turner and the mushroom and the hedgehog/mouse (we have not decided what this is yet) were given to me by him, and I bought the cup with Kermitt the frog in, and I bought him for 10p at a car boot sale. Bargain!!

And of course I have my photo frames, basically all the pictures are of me and my boyfriend, and you can see the Flux Fairy, I have had this every since I started, I drew this in my first week. and on the top of the photo frame, you will see Khagendra the worlds smallest man. and then you have a little photo frame with a mirror on the other side has my little dog Bella in.

Then you have my computer, and on my screen you have a few pictures of Channing Tatum (as per a previous blog……. what a hottie hehe) and David Beckham and a little kangaroo (why not hey). I kind of have a me-to-you beat theme going on in the middle.

We also have a picture of David Brent (Ricky Gervais) as I thought this was appropriate as I work in an office and its one of my favourite shows.

As we move across to the left of the desk we have a Wall-e theme we have my pot of pens and my Wall-e tin of scrap paper and Eva and then the phone, the most important piece of equipment on my desk and the Wall-e and a mirror, as the mount of times people ask if you have a mirror they can borrow is unbelievable.
