This morning I posted links to our various Facebook groups to the sleep story I wrote yesterday (Teenage laziness – Blame it on the sunshine!) , as I had only tweeted it yesterday evening.

I sent over to Neil the research bits I put together about tyre replacement companies, and also the bio piece I’d written about girl string band Netnakisum at Serenata.

I’ve written a piece for the Serenata blog about The Art Stable, which is a Dorset art gallery who are hosting an exhibition at the festival next month. I had to email a few people to get some pictures to go up with the text, and then I had a nightmare trying to get them to go where I wanted on the blog! Text and pictures were flying all over the place! You can have a look at the finished piece here: http://serenatafestival.com/blog/?p=146

Speaking of flying things… On our lunch break, Steph and I went for a quiet stroll to a bench on East Cliff, when we were unexpectedly attacked by a swarm of flying, stinging things!!! There were bees and wasps EVERYWHERE!

… … …

Okay, there were a couple that flew near us a little, but the way we screamed you would have thought there were millions! We must have looked like a pair of loonies flapping around and screaming!

As the website currently doesn’t have an easy guide for what’s happening on what day of the festival, I’ve started to put this together. I’ve had to do a bit of hunting to find out which days certain events are, and when musicians are due to be playing, but once I’ve got this up on the website it means no one else has to do the hunting!

Throughout the day I’ve been doing the usual tweeting, following, unfollowing as well to keep our Twitter accounts growing! The number of @clickwriters followers has almost doubled in a week! : )

The boyfriend and are picking up the keys to our new flat, and doing all the paperwork bits, tonight ready to move in all our stuff tomorrow! Including our new bed and sofa which is being delivered : D I’m looking forward to getting all the little ‘homely’ bits in the flat! I get excited about the little things, even when we bought a bathroom bin and an iron last night (and I NEVER iron!!)!

Tomorrow is the last day of my official 6-week placement at Cre8ive Wisdom! I’m definitely glad I’m staying longer : )

- BYEE… H x

Well, I had an eventful evening last night, doing loads of washing at my dad’s due to a very inconveniently-timed broken washing machine! I took round a LoveFilm DVD ‘Angus, Thongs & Perfect Snogging’ which was fairly enjoyable! Darren didn’t want to watch it so I thought I would while he was driving back from Alton Towers! I’d read the related ‘Confessions of Georgia Nicolson’ books by Louise Rennison when I was younger, but I can’t say I recognised much from the book during the film (but then my ‘old’ age is making me forget things nowadays!!).

This morning I’ve written and posted another blog post on the Serenata website, about some guided walks courtesy of Jurassic Jaunts which are taking place. You can read it here: http://serenatafestival.com/blog/?p=140

I also spent some time this morning promoting LinkedIn groups I started for recruitment client, and adding relevant links to them. I’ve been tweeting/Facebooking about this, various bits for Serenata, and bits for our adjustable bed client.

This afternoon I’ve written and posted a Better Sleep article for the adjustable bed client. It’s about teenagers’ sleeping patterns and things that affect them. It’s after I saw an article yesterday about new research connecting biological findings to teenagers’ staying up and getting up late. You can read my piece here: http://lpadjustables.eu/better-sleep/?p=185

I remember a few years ago I could sleep until 2 in the afternoon sometimes! Well, when having to get up for school didn’t get in the way! Now I can never seem to lie-in past 10!

It’s been a slightly nicer environment in the office today as the star Steph brought in a fan! It’s made a big difference in the room and we’re not so sticky now! : D

I’m off home now to clean, clean, clean… Fun!?

Last night I managed to have a fairly relaxed night, am feeling mostly better today but still not 100% - I’m sure I’ll be fine tomorrow! : ) I am very tired today though, as Darren was up at half 5 to go to Alton Towers for the day (unfortunately I couldn’t sleep through that well!)

This morning I mostly focussed on the Serenata Twitter account, following and unfollowing and interacting with followers. It’s still steadily growing which is good : ) The Facebook groups haven’t been growing quite so well the past few days, so I’ve made sure to tweet links to them today! Today I’ve also finished a piece for the website about a band playing at the festival. I haven’t been able to put in up yet, though, as it’s for another section – not the blog which I have access to.

I also had another quick go at finding more contact details for tyre companies, along with more market research bits! There are a few pieces of research info I need to find which I have been struggling with, though.

This afternoon I’ve written an article for the recruitment client, which you can read here: http://bondwilliams.com/?p=33 It’s about survey results showing that employees are still feeling in the grip of severe economic downturn, even though GPD figures show that the country is moving out of the recession.

This evening I’m heading over to my dad’s flat so I can use his washing machine! The one at the student house has conveniently broken just as we were planning to do masses in preparation of moving to a washing machine-less flat!! Dad’s going to be working so I’m thinking of taking a dvd from LoveFilm round to watch while I wait for a few loads of washing!

Oh what an exciting life I lead! : P
