just a minute / (very exciting) friday fives

So I start this month with some very exciting news - I've been promoted at work this month! I am now an Account Executive - and very pleased about it!

In other news, another month has apparently flown by; here are the friday fives for this week and Just a Minute for this month.


Five photos from my month

1. Banksy print I saw in Bristol last weekend
   
2. Cupcakes (an essential part of any month)
3. A ticket to the ballet Romeo and Juliet at the 02 Arena - amazing!
4. A little leaflet and goodie bag from the Life in a Day premiere I went to a few weeks ago
5. Ice cream - summer's here!

Five things that made me smile this week

1. Getting promoted!
2. Seeing two old friends together for the first time in a long time
3. A very nice weekend in Bristol
4. Sorting out birthday plans
5. Errr, can I say getting promoted again?!

Five things I'm looking forward to this coming week

1. Enjoying my boyfriend's birthday present (tickets to a show) with him tomorrow
2. Watching the Wimbledon final!
3. Seeing one of my besties for dinner early next week
4. Seeing another friend for dinner late next week
5. Booking a much-needed holiday!

And this month, I am...

Reading... Great House by Nicole Krauss, and some old Philippa Gregory novels again

Buying... Lots of dinners out, birthday treats and holidays

Listening... to Motown, my usual random selection and a variety of my boyfriend's car cds

Watching... the new series of True Blood - so excited that this is back!

Loving... my new job title ;)

Planning... the next few weekends, afternoon tea and birthday celebrations
