Getting our Geek on!

As part of my birthday celebrations, I'm having a night out tomorrow with friends. My good friend Gemma, came up with the idea of dressing 'Geek Chic' which I instantly agreed too! 

I'm really excited & having checked with the bars that we're all ok to dress up & most importantly wear our trainers (for comfort & style) we are all pretty much set! 

I have the converse (complete with diamantès to add to chic aspect!), the braces, the geek glasses & t-shirt & not forgetting the frilly socks. I'm set! 

As with most themes or fancy dress the fun is in seeing everyone else's interpretations so I can't wait for tomorrow night. 

Post coming up next week with plenty of photos! 

Wow!

Work birthday's literally rock! 
So after my post yesterday about work birthday's I can safely say I am not at all disappointed this year.

As I drove into work this morning I saw my face in our office window & knew instantly the girls had gone to town! 

They had covered a whole wall with photos of my face & decorated the office in my favourite colour - blue! I still can't stop smiling. 

I have cupcakes with my face on, giant balloons & even a few of my favourite things, planes & football! 

And to finish it all off a photo of me & Frank Lampard!! You just couldn't make it up! Sorry Christine, I've borrowed him for the day!

With lunch at Prezzo still on the agenda & I'm sure plenty more surprises to come this weekend, I'm a one very lucky soon-to-be 30 year old! 

Massive thanks to Gemma & Alex for being such wonderfully thoughtful work colleagues & friends. x

Work Birthdays

Most people that work in an office will have the tradition of celebrating your birthday with your colleagues. You get the desk all done up with balloons, the collection goes around the office for your present & they all turn up at your desk singing Happy Birthday which is the most embarrassing thing ever (well until next year when it all happens again!), generally you also have to spend a fortune bringing in cakes for those who only put a pound in your collection but it's 'the done thing'! 

I count myself very lucky, as whilst working for my company, I've had some really quite memorable birthday's over the years. My favourite was probably the year when I was the only person with the keys to the office so I had to help my colleagues put my own balloons up, in return they made me a crown & sash to crown me Queen for the day! I had surprises arriving all day long & we actually got a lot of creative work done too. 














With my work birthday tomorrow, I'm looking forward to what lays in store for me, if anything! That could be awkward couldn't it. You turn up expecting balloons and a fun atmosphere & actually don't get anything!! 
I'm sure my colleagues & friends, Gemma & Alex have it all under control. 
One thing I know for sure we are doing is the customary lunchtime drinks which this year will be at our new favourite place, Prezzo! And with one opening up across the road from our office, it'd be rude not too!
