Relaxing weekend to a mega stressed week

At the weekend I had a really chilled time - I took myself out of the city and headed to Invernes. It was so so nice to get away from here and get some fresh air and some time out of the City for a day. It made me realise we should defo all be doing more of that. back into the swing of things on Monday though - its been a hugly stressful time the last few weeks. I am in the middle of changing form a sole trader to a limited company - my god the stress is driving me nutts - does not help when banks are a huge pain in the back end too! :-( I will keep you all posted on the progress - fingers crossed.

Well I am off to have a well deserved glass of wine and a long bath

Where does the week go?

Do you ever have weeks go past and you have no idea how you got there? Cant believe it is Wednesday tomorrow.

After a very quite chilled weekend in I have been extremely busy in the studio. Vana is away in Oban this week and Aileen and Joanna are both on a Pre and Post Natal in exercise with the YMCA this week - so its really been me and Kirsty most of the week. I have to say my body is feeling the pain for it!

My plan for this week is to get some content on the MFI site - really want to look at the vids and see if there is a better way we can be doing them - loads to do and change - but I hope we will get there soon enough :-)

Valentine's Weekend

Studio night on Friday was really nice chilled evening - I really enjoyed it. Myself and some friends all then headed out tho the Polo lounge in Merchant City - my first time there, I have to say I had a really good night. Did not have to beat one man off me all night :-) defo a good night out for the girls wanting away from the typical drooling drunk man!

Polo Lounge

So tonight after the Studio night I am being taken with some great friends to the Polo lounge. For those of you reading this that don't know Glasgow (it a gay bar) I have never been to anything like this before (I am not gay so why would I) But I have a few friends that are gay - so hey - here I am going tonight around 11pm - this should be an interesting night :-0

The card shop on St Valentine's Eve

OK so I am in the card shop on Crow road tonight at around 4.30pm - it did take me around 20 min to get parked in the car park next to M & S, that's what I get for taking the car and not walking :-( So i needed to get silly things for the studio valentine's night tonight. I am in this card shop - think its birthdays that's on Crow Road. The place is jam packed full of miserable people! All standing lurking around the cards embraced to be showing any kind of affection or love to their other half. Some of the men that were in - you could just tell it was like the biggest pain in the +ss for them. Everyone was grabbing any card, balloons, teddies and more. Why do we do this every year?

Thanks for reading my rant

Valentine's Day

Ok girls out there, so what are we all doing? I have so many friends that are single and hate this date in the calender - I say we should all get together and send out girlfriends a card :-) Even better - save some trees and send an e-card.

Whatever you all do, have a great time xxx

Love SJ

So we have the studio night out tonight in the Sports cafe, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow. i am looking forward to it. Will be good to see some of the members with their hair down for once. I need to fly out and see if I can get more decorations.

Its kinda a strange one today - Friday 13th - lets hope tonight does not turn into a nightmare :-(
