Now that’s over with I can fill you in a bit about little old me. Tweeps, followers and friends will know that I started a new job just over a month ago. I’m writing and editing content for a website based in shopping and e-commerce. I’m pleased to report I’m really enjoying it and as my first job out of uni I think it’s pretty great, especially considering I am snuggled up at home all day!

I was a bit concerned at first about working from home, especially being new to Leeds and not knowing many people. I really do think my personality suits it though and I love managing my own time. It doesn’t really bother me that I don’t get much interaction with anyone during the days as because of his PhD work Matt is around a lot anyway and well, we all know how great one’s Twitter feed is for keeping one company!

The flat is coming on leaps and bounds. Considering it was furnished when we got here we’ve really done our best to add to what was here and really make it our own. There are battered books overflowing shelves and ukeleles hanging off walls and all my clothes and accessories breaking the lovely rail in the bedroom. It feels very “lived in” which makes me pretty happy. I think I might do a flat tour post once it’s all finished, but I’m really happy with how it looks so far. I think we’re due another IKEA trip. We finally got our beloved “Stenstorp” kitchen island delivered last week and Matt has been obsessively oiling it to make sure it’s kitchen-proof. Domestic life eh? Alright alright, so it doesn’t float everybody’s boat, but it feels pretty good to me.

I might have done something slightly naughty… I have an iMac coming tomorrow. I managed to convince myself that it wasn’t good for my (rathering fetchingly attired with new Tommy H glasses) eyes to be staring at a 13″ screen all day so I did the sensible thing and spent a grand and a half on a 27″  iMac. Standard behaviour. But… this means I’m actually going to be working at a desk from now on. This, of course, calls for lots of Pinterest -ing of office space. Look forward to some nice interiors posts coming up. It’s something I’d like to blog about more and has received good feedback in the past so I’ve been gathering pics and ideas and I’ve even got a guest poster or two coming up for you! Oooh, something new for A Storm in a Teacup. Exciting.

Currently, I’m loving:

Misfits, reading comics on my iPad, fancying Thor, cooking pies, new 16 and Pregnant, being so busy I’m blogging at 1.05am on a school night, My Transsexual Summer (SO MUCH LOVE), velvet boots, buying Christmas presents, (always), the Pret Christmas Sandwich , Friendly Fires, listening to 6 Music all day everyday and getting very festive.
