So, another week and another week done. This week though, ends on a positive note. Let me explain....my employer is opening another branch in a town closer to where I live. This is all very hush hush at the moment although the company grapevine has been working overtime. Now, I fancy the opportunity to open a new branch, it's right up my street. Setting something up from new, building up a branch from scratch. Now, I have heard my name mentioned for this branch and a few people have told me to talk to my area manager and  put my name forward. 

Right, fast forward to today. My area manager turned up (a planned visit). One of his jobs was to speak to me. The upshot of our discussion is that, subject to whom they place as the manager, I will be going to the new branch. WooHoo!! However, it won't be confirmed until at least February 2015, but at least I now know or sure my area managers plans. Roll on February!!

This follows on from a great Thursday. The day my alter ego came out to play. A trip to the local city with my friend for coffee and shopping. This also came with a new look which I wanted to try:

I got some good feedback from people and a few looks from a lot of people! I also had some good feedback from my temporary flatmate, whom I didn't realise was in (and me her) until I was about to leave home. So, I had to explain the situation and she said that she didn't realise it was me until I said! So, I can't be doing too bad! That is good for the confidence. I have now also told my full time flat mate - who said it had already been mentioned to him! So all that worrying for nothing! This does now mean that I can dress more often at home and not worry too much about it. 

The fact that I can be around more often is a great boost to my confidence. The ability to be myself at home more and to go out more is fabulous news for me. I was so relieved that the flatmates were so understanding and supportive - I was a little worried, I must admit!! This on top of a successful shopping trip, meant it has been a good week.

I got my party dress for the birthday party in a few weeks - I just need everything to go with it now! Shoes, handbag, underwear, makeup............

That's his Christmas bonus spent (I don't think so!!) LOL! ;) I really want to bling it up and outdo the birthday gurl. I have been told I have to by the gurl herself. What's a girl to do, I can't let her down.....

I must also say thank you to my good friend who i went shopping with. She is really encouraging and has given me so much help and advice. I will be forever in her debt.

So there you have it. Our week in a nutshell. Hopefully this is the start of some good changes in our lives. Less of me and more of my alter ego.....
