Online Shopping

The perfect way to spend money without having to find parking, brave the crowds and stand in a queue to make your payment.

But what do you do when it comes to clothing shopping? Unless you have the perfect figure where clothes just fit. Then I am not talking to you - don't bother reading any further.

Claudz sent me this awesome link to a site called Runway Sale - sign up and then go shopping to your hearts' content.

Huge savings on branded items such as Forever New & Guess. I found an awesome SA brand called Salt & Pepper. Classic pieces at great prices.

Take this beautiful Grey Pencil Skirt - only R79!

I would buy this in a heart beat except for 1 point: I have no idea of this skirt will fit properly. 
And will it look good on a fuller figure?

Clothing companies need to post a photo of a Size 10, 12, 14 & 16 model each wearing the exact same outfit.

This will give us a better indication of what it will actually look like. This gorgeous woman in the photo is nowhere close to me.

However, this doesn't stop me from buying shoes or make-up ... just wait for the next sale to start... 

Go and have a look! 

Thanks for the referral Claudz - my bank account however will not thank you

Zombie Apocalypse & other disasters

Survival Guide

With all the movies around about the end of the world, have you ever wondered how you would react if it were the end of the world?

Would you be calm and take charge, or would you hide in a hole and wait for somebody to rescue you?

I really hope it isn't zombies or aliens that cause our demise....

Rather a flood or something like that. Being in Africa we would have sufficient time to prepare a ship/boat - the squatter camps alone have some much rubble we would be well prepared.

However, if it is a zombie attack - according to this website these are the 10 vehicles that will help you survive.
I am doomed.

2014: A Better Me

Part of my 2013 and 2014 Twenty Wishes was to work less and be happier.

I failed at it in 2013.

Halfway through the year & I am doing better in 2014.

I have only worked late a few days of the year so far.
No matter how huge my deadlines are and how crazy work has become, I refuse to work longer hours. I work through my lunch break and that is as far as my concession goes.

Strangely enough, both the CEO and MD have commented on how different I am.

A close work friend even called me up to ask if I was really ok because he doesn't recall seeing me this happy at work and was worried that I may be hiding some deep unhappiness. I had a good laugh at that, but was touched by the kind gesture.

I feel so much better. The work piles up. I do as much as I can. 2014 is my year, I gave my life to the company in 2013. I am taking it back in 2014.
