Goodies

Currently watching: Have I Got News For You

Hello ladies,

Look what was waiting for me when I got home today:


Ooh. The box is ridiculously large but never mind. I read about Ciate nail polish on a couple of blogs and one of them mentioned the fact that although they retail for £9, they are often heavily discounted on the Asos website. Of course I had to have a look and found Asos Paint by Ciate on sale for £1. There were six colours available and I chose Lily (green), Blake (pink) and Lauren (blue). I know I've said before that I don't really like blue polish but I just felt like having these as they were so cheap. Additionally, postage was free! Can't wait to try them.

And what's this? Oh, my new office stationary. Lovely.

I love my new calculator.

How has your week been? My week's been very good. I was auditing a new client for four days. My superior on this job was very helpful and good at explaining what I needed to do and why I was doing it so I had a good understanding of how my work fitted in to the overall audit programme. I even managed to make up a complex (for me) formula on Excel. I don't remember it exactly but it was something like IF (E5<(D5*0.5),E5,(D5*0.5)). Who knew you could put words in formulae?
And today I was back in the office for a study day so that was a nice and relaxed end to the week.
Bye for now,
Laura

  1. Heh, bargain! Can't wait to see the colour turnout.
    You know, it would be a great idea for me to buy a stapler remover too. I currently use my index nail which is pretty much non-existent now.

  2. I really wanted to get some of these. But I couldn't decide on a colour I liked because I had so many that were similar! Clearly I'm buying too many! lol xx

  8. Definitely think you should invest in a staple remover Amy and save your nail!

    Nothing wrong with building up a big nail polish collection Olivia ;-)

    Welcome aboard Toes That Twinkle and thanks for your kind words. I'll definitely be checking out your site :-)

    Glad you had a good week Mimi! Hope you recover from your cold soon!

    I agree Carrie, it's always nice to come home to find a nice package or letter :-)

    I think the bows are definitely a big part of the attraction of these polishes Girlie :-)

    It's actually the first time I've used ASOS Laura but if they have more bargains like this I'm sure I'll become a regular customer...

  10. Yeah I went all crazy and ordered most of the things I've been wanting to try. Didn't realise I looked at the photo that most things are in twos. I think it will keep me busy.
    I would never have bought the nail polish without seeing you don it that time. So girly but not quite hot pink or baby pink
