Two jumpers... and it's august

Hiyyaa,
Long time no blog, Holli from Communications land here. Since my last entry my office has moved to the fourth floor- more stairs but a better view... swings and roundabouts some might say. All is still going fine and dandy, last weekend Ashley and I were immensely busy bees jetting (well more crawling really due to the sheer amount of traffic...) around north london reporting on an event called store wars, which is when teams from companies come and take over Barnardo's shops for the day and compete to see who can make the most money. We were reporting on it for a feature in Barnardo's Today magazine which goes out to all Barnardo's supporters. The teams were taking the competition really seriously, and using their inniative to win, using every available resource, including a cuddly cat called clarence, to reign victorious. It opened by eyes to the amazing stuff you can get in the shops - I ended up buying the most fantastic and impractical wicker suitcase for 3 little pounds. Whoop!

Next week I get to go to Oldham for the day to visit and report on a project for Connect magazine, which goes out to all staff and volunteers. Am looking forward to a day of epic train journeys! It probably doesn't bode well that I fell asleep on the tube this morning - narrowly escaping missing my stop due to the good fortune of a fellow intern being in the same carriage...
cheerio
