So I've been commuting to Colchester for a week and my body is slowly getting used to the nearly 5 hour daily journey. I'm having to be very strict at having early nights during the week. My kindle is going to become my best friend! Colchester is actually a very pretty and quaint town, it dates back to the Roman times don't you know? It's a lot quieter than London and my bank account is very happy at not having to spend nearly £8 on lunch. I love you Pret but you skint me! It's very nice having a brand new office to work in, it's very swish! I'm looking forward to the Christmas break though to recharge my batteries and to catch up with friends. The longer commute means I've become a bit of a recluse during the week. Not good for my social life.

This time next week it'll be Boxing Day and all these Christmas presents will be handed out! Just where does the year go?

  6. First, let's state the obvious… YOU LOOK STUNNING! Secondly, how many presents do you buy? I thought we did things big in my family but look at that? It looks like you're swimming in presents? Hahaha!

  9. Pretty outfit Sophie and the shoes are super! You're commuting to Colchester? Wow! Where from? My husband spent almost a year commuting from Brentwood to Brightlingsea which is further in than Colchester and he really struggled with it! Hope you have a lovely Christmas! X
