I'm finally starting some training for my new position next week, i will be doing a couple of days one to one with someone from our Head office. I'm still full time at the moment as we have yet to find out when the work from admin is moving across to the central admin centre, which is annoying in one way as we are ll in limbo at the moment and don't know whats happening, but then again it means i can stay full time for that little bit longer. I'm hoping they don't move the work across until the New Year which means i will be able to get through Christmas ok and then start looking for another part time job after that.
In other good news i recently helped out for Children In Need at one of our contact centres taking pledges and donations from people, myself and 2 others from the office volunteered to man the phones, there was many others within the company that took part too, it was a really fun evening there was raffles and games throughout the night, me and my 2 friends did about 6hours and left just after midnight because i lost my voice :( it was well worth the cause though, even though i had a weekend of silence due to not being able to speak!!! It was a fantastic night and i will definitely be doing it again next year.
I have started my Christmas shopping! I'm quite organised this year, I'm just making the most of full time work whilst i still can, although i am been very froogle and buying not cheap gifts but not as extravagant as i usually would. I found a brilliant website where you can create personalised diaries, calendars, key rings etc and the prices are quite reasonable its called Vista Print, i used it last year and created my mum a lovely calendar with pictures of the whole family on it (and the cat of course), and even though it is now out of date she can still keep it for the pictures.
I have also been using Maximiles for extra offers and points on purchases i make online, this is a great website because you can redeem points for gifts such as DVD's and CD's along with other things which would make brilliant Christmas presents!
I shall be visiting the Bull Ring in Birmingham this Friday for my annual shopping trip, me and my boyfriend tend to go to Meadowhall but decided we wanted to go somewhere different, i have been once before with my friends last year and thought it was much better than Meadowhall. I probably wont be spending as much this year, but I'm sure i will find some bargains. I received a brilliant offer from New Look today for 50% off party wear online, so i was straight on their website and got myself a dress for the Christmas work do (along with a pair of shoes of course) You do have to follow them on Facebook to receive this brilliant offer, so i definitely recommend signing up for your fave shops emails and like their Facebook pages so that you are kept up to date on any offers they may have. (Also remember to check to see if you can get points from Maximiles or even Boots Treatstreet - every little helps)
