Easter holidays hurray!

Went to Eileen Mason's for a makeover photo shoot today. I was so nervous about it because I generally hate photos of myself, my face always looks fat and I am always pulling a weird face. Make up first - a lot more than I'd normally wear and my eyes scared me when I first saw myself! But it looked really good, and she even managed to do something with my hair despite it's need of a cut and growing out fringe.

Then onto the photos, I started off in my new maxi dress and felt like an idiot for the first couple of shots but it got quite fun, I had my own little wind machine and everything!! The two photographers, Jason (Jamie?!) and Mike told me what to do and kept making me laugh and it was really fun. I did 4 outfits altogether and was photographed in all sorts of bizarre ways - will see the results on 29th so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will look as great as they felt. My final photo of the day was wearing a very dodgy pair of sunglasses that they provided me with, they were about half the size of my head, with white plastic frames and reddish lenses. I felt like a right pillock! Jason/Jamie asked if I felt silly, and I said yes, and he told me I looked great. I was very much less than convinced!

Went to see Jason Mraz at the o2 academy in Birmingham last night with Charlotte, he was amazing. The venue is not brilliant and there were 2 support acts plus massive gaps while they reset the stage, so by the time he finally came on my legs were suffering a bit but it was so worth it. Highlights for me were I'm Yours (of course) Beautiful Mess (actually nearly made me cry) Lucky which he did as a duet with one of the support acts, and the audience singalong of Don't Worry About a Thing, just cos it was a nice moment. The only downer was the funny smelling girls next to us who sang everything really loud and kept pushing us. Grrrrr.

McFly and Rob Brydon next - not at the same time of course. In fact really I have a quite exciting few weeks ahead.

Looking for a new job again, ugh. This will be the third easter in a row looking for a job, so hopefully I can find one quicker than before and get sorted for at least a few years. I've been for a drive around a few in South Staffs and 2 of them are little village schools that look just LUSH, so going to hopefully visit them the first week back after Easter, and then hopefully something might come of one of those. They have the same head which is very weird, especially if I'm lucky enough to get interviews at both, could be very odd!

I found out the other day that Rob Bell is doing Greenbelt this year, so really hoping to get there. Even though I hate camping. I think it would be amazing to go hear him.

Right, boardroom just happening in the Apprentice so I must dash....!

Love love love xxx
