Home again

I have returned from London, and thankfully in one piece. I do love it down there but it's not as much fun as it could be when you have few pennies to your name.

New Designers went well for all, everyone gaining interest and details being taken for people to get back in touch. Hello to all of the 3rd years who made the trip down to say hello and have a look around. My only great problem while I was there was restraining myself from buying work from anyone else. Standing on a stall for 4 days solid can get pretty boring at times and I did wander off occasionally to have a look around. I did manage to hold of a spending spree knowing full well that the bank manager would be unimpressed with any purchases I would have liked to have made. "But sir, what do you mean a ceramic rabbits face mounted on my bedroom wall isn't a necessity in life?" You see my problem?

Anyhoo, having only arrived back last night I haven't managed to coax my laptop into playing nice with the internet connection in my new flat yet. I have two choices in what I can do about this, either take it someplace to see if it's broken and pay for it to be fixed or sweet talk a friend or two and let them loose with it. Unfortunately one of the people who I was counting on fixing it is off on his travels at the moment, but as soon as he's back I'll be waiting at his door with cake to try and persuade him that he really does want to help me out.

So as you could have guessed I had to go on the hunt for public access to the internet again, finding that the Overgate Center has a Dundee College Learning Center on the top floor was the answer to my predicament. I may become a regular face here for the next week or so until I get everything working at home. So if any of you try to get in touch and I take a couple of days to reply it isn't that I'm ignoring you I just haven't got the message yet but I'll reply as soon as I can.

Hope you're all well and having a good start to your week, hear from you soon x

London

Hey all, it's been an age since I last posted, or so it seems. I moved into my new flat and am having issues with the internet :(
At the moment I'm in an internet cafe in London updating my store so I thought I'd add a quick note here too. The jewellery bunch are down here to show at New Designers in Islington at the Business Design Center so if you're able swing by and say hello, and if you can't at least wish me luck.
I best trot off, the minutes I've paid for are quickly slipping away and there is much to do, hope you're all well and that the weather is as excellent for you as it is here. x
