… must come to an end – my Frequency internship is now complete! Oooh a panorama shot – get me! It was a busy last day and quite sad too as I was just starting to feel ‘accepted’ into the studio. Lisa & I bought the Blueprint guys a lovely big glittery thank you card… … and they bought us some crazy cards and cake – awww I knew they liked us really 🙂 No,...
(The title is a reference to the Sugababes song – remember that from many moons ago in 2002) What have I been up to since my last update a couple of weeks ago?

After reading about the aims of the magazine, I donated £20. Anyone that knows me will know that this is a sign I think it’s a really good idea – I...

I admit, I’ve been quite picky with the jobs I’ve applied for – I don’t want to just go anywhere, work for free and be put back on the conveyor belt at the end of the week to make way for the next intern.
