Need your help

Alright, I'm mentioning work again. Here is your warning.

I know I am definitely, one-hundred percent better off out of that stupid stupid office. I am so looking in to the future right now, I can and will do better and get a new job and leave 2006 behind and remember it as the year that never really happened.

Just browsing through my emails when up pops one from the receptionist and the first line made me chuckle, made me feel good, made me feel so much better. I win.

Hello sickie,

Hope you are feeling a little better?

Work is actually getting stranger and stranger--[Acting Manager] called us all in together this morning to tell that [Director (who made me redundant)] is no longer with the company as of today!! Great shock to everyone as he was our main link with Ireland. We get the impression that some of the blame for allowing [Ex-Boss] to do what he did is being levelled at him--but who knows!! [Managing Director] is flying in early tomorrow to talk to everyone, so hopefully we will know more then. I keep thinking that thats it--but there's talk of a new guy coming to take the reins in our office--so I just dont know!!

[Acting Manager] has been in since Monday and he's wondering whether to put his holiday back now till all this is sorted. I'm actually beginning to relax into working with [Estimating Manager] and [A] especially as [Finance Manager] is now down there with us now. Its nice to be with people rather than on my own and to listen to [Acting Manager], [Estimating Manager] and [Finance Manager] talking about whats going on! What's even better is that my phone isnt working (till they come to fix it) and it's bliss having to watch [A] or [Estimating Manager] pick it up if [New Girl] doesn't get it!!!

Anyway you -get well soon, dying to get together for a good old gossip! Will keep you posted.

Love [Receptionist] xxx

It seems like the company is now having a bit of a hard time, and to be perfectly honest I'm glad not to be there. Is this the beginning of the end for them? Things don't bode well and I'm so glad I'm not part of it, worrying my pants off that my job is on the line. In a nasty bitchy way I do hope the company goes tits up and then I'm not the only one out looking for a job, although I'd prefer it if I'd got a nice cushty job before it all happened. I don't want to be fighting for a good position with that lot around.

Don't they say good things happen after the bad?

-------------

On a completely different note I'm after some help, hints, tips and advice.

With all this extra time on my hands I think it's about time I spruced myself up a little. I am not one to really wear tons of make up and my skin at the moment isn't looking grand. I think this whole work thing has taken it's toll. I have bitten my nails down so far they hurt, I don't wax only ever shave and I've never had my eyebrows plucked. Ever.

So any advice? I want pain free and very very cheap ideas, remember I'm on a budget and a complete wuss. All I want is to look good for myself (and Mark). Any nice products out there that you'd recommend to make this skin of mine smell gorgeous and feel silky smooth. Anything, I don't mind.

I'm 23 years old and I don't make the most of what I've got. I want to look feminine and pretty, I want a cleavage that screams "Look at me!", I want to be beautiful and noticed and have remarks made about the lovely perfume I'm wearing.

I want to be me but different. With no girlie mates I can't go look around the shops and chatter away about what suits who the best. So this is where you come in. Any suggestions? I know you lot are a bunch of beauties out there and will share your secrets for gorgeousness with me. Throw them my way... please!
