    This is pretty late, but I’m up for the MTV Movie Awards anyway so here you go. It’s been a both an exciting and relaxing week. 
    It all kicked off with a brand new phone. I’ve been dying for an upgrade from my 2 year old LG, which had pretty much been on its last legs for about a month. So I traded it in for the new Sony Xperia U. I’m pretty impressed so far, I basically wanted a decent model that would still keep me satisfied for the next 2 years and this model came out about two weeks ago. The camera’s pretty good for daily blogger shooting and the android system runs pretty fast too, plus I’m completely addicted to angry birds now. 
    An upgrade to the new android system has also meant I’m finally on Instagram. If you aren’t following me already I’m @rcagz on there. I’ve been pretty snap happy this week if I’m honest, I love it already!
    I also recieved some amazing news that I’ve been offered a 12 month work placement! I was so excited but wanted to make sure I got my contract through before I said anything about it online, but it came in the post Saturday morning so everything is getting official now. It’s a great marketing job and full time so I will I be out of University for a year, plus keeping my Saturday job at New Look. This does mean I’ll have to get my time management skills to keep up with blogging too. But at least I’m exempt from midnight essays and revision for a year! ;) 
    I’ve also spent a very lazy weekend chilling with the family and watching the Diamond Jubilee coverage. I love all the pomp and pageantry so I was glued to the BBC coverage of the Thames parade today. 
    All in all a pretty good week :)

    Keep on wishing…

    Ok so maybe not a week update and that outfit is about 2 weeks old but it’s been pretty hectic. I’ve been wrapping up Uni and heading to interviews and getting stressed over exams, which finished last Tuesday. I’ve technically finished 2nd year but am still on a last push for placement places, no luck yet =( so it’s looking more and more likely that I’ll be starting my final year at Uni come October (scary stuff). 
    In other news the UK seems to be in a May heatwave and since finishing exams it’s been nice to actually enjoy the sunshine for once. Plus getting away from blogging for a little bit has actually been nice, a bit of a mini holiday if you will. Now that I’m back I’ll hopefully be updating a little more regularly and the MTV Movie Awards are on next Sunday! Wahey! Also fingers crossed I’ll get a phone upgrade on Tuesday so I can finally get on Instagram and a decent phone to keep all my social network bits up to date :)
    Looking to possibly updating layouts and doing a decent blog clean up this Summer. I’m currently at 90 followers so anyone wanna bump me up to 100? Maybe a giveaway could be in store if I hit that?! ;)

    Keep on wishing…
