Nearly Christmas!

Where has this month gone!??! Honestly, its flown. Christmas shopping is done, christmas journal has not....work has been busy and finishing late, but the christmas party was the best thing!






We had our xmas party on Thursday, it was fantastic! Went go karting in the afternoon, I came 10th out of 15th so I was very chuffed as I was totally terrified, so drove really carefully and didn't get any penalties haha!





Then we came back to the office for a table football tournament. My partner, Ben, is one of the top players so I was feeling the pressure! The days before he kept ringing my desk telling me to practise, read up on tips and that we had the best draw for our first game! It was very funny, he kept telling me to look after my hands lol.

Anyway, I was very nervous about the tournament too cos everyone was watching, and I hate being watched! Our first game didn't happen, our opposing team was missing a player so we automatically went through to the next round! When we did finally play we won the game, with Ben calling me a natural, and telling me I made several great saves. It was so funny. So then we were in the final, and amazingly won that! So we are the champions! Ben picked me up when we won, and we even got a trophy lol.











Then there was a quiz, which I also won with another partner and got a tenner for that! Everyone was calling me the winner of the day, and in the evening we went out for dinner and dancing in a club in london.









It was such a great time, got home at 3am and went into work yesterday feeling very sleepy! Then at 5pm we had another set of games of table footie, myself and Ben were defeated, although he still says that we are the best partnership, so then I was playing on the same team as Freya, against two of the guys. We thrashed them four games in a row, they were utterly stunned! I haven't laughed so much in a long time, the shock in their voices, Ben called me a traitor because we beat him, but he was also pleased because its all practise for when me and him play next year haha.

I'm absolutely loving work, I had such a great time with everyone, really feeling part of the team now, especially with people cheering me on with the table football and stuff.

Unfortunately yesterday morning I woke up with a stinking cold, right in time for xmas! Been trying to finish cards and stuff but just have no energy to do anything! Let's just hope I'm feeling better by tuesday!
