A couple of weeks since my last update and a fair bit has happened.
I landed a job as a recruitment consultant for a company dealing mostly with pharmacies. its been two weeks and i am loving it. its a headhunting company so mostly it involves cold calling and asking people if they 'feel like a career move'. Just learning the ropes for the next 2 months and then i will be given the midlands area of the uk. exciting stuff. low £££ at the moment until the commission starts but ah well at least im not bored. good exp and all that jazz. Im working with a bunch of under 20's most from London who enjoy their bi-weekly pub visit. - which is sometimes mid-afternoon when its sunny so I hear!
in my last post i said we had been told to move out of our flat. We did find a new place quite quickly just around the corner but on Tuesday night the girl called us to say she had changed her mind and would not be giving us the room anymore cause she is going to stay there. Bit of a bugger but we managed to find another flat a day later in a nice area with a couple of guys from Welly - a nurse and a pathologist. Its cool and really pretty- ill post pics soon!
Easter weekend was a stunner too. 4 days of sunshine and hot(ish) weather. Went to see the annual cambridge/oxford rowing race down the Thames. it was retty cool - loads of drunken kiwis and aussies - doesnt matter where you go in London a whining aussie accent is within hearing distance - there is just sooooo many of us!
Sat night we went to a friends for bbq to celebrate being able to wear skirts and shorts - yah for summer!!! We are off to Glasgow next week to meet some whanau and then maybe a music festival here in London the week after that.
We missed out on Glastonbury, V-Festival and Reading tickets GRRRRRR. Hard to get and so damn expensive (i dont get paid for a month so have nooooo money). But fingers crossed for the Leeds Festival cause it has an awesome line-up too.
