Belfast - "Top of th' mornin to ya!"

24OCT08 - 26OCT08

A cold, rainy, windy, eye-opening experience and a fun weekend away! And you gotta love the Irish accents (when you can understand them!) :P



We had a couple of cars for our group of 8 and did a little road trip up North along the coastline. The next day we had a "black cab" tour and jumped in a couple of cabs for a tour of Belfast and it's history. Can't believe that there is still some tension. Most of it has blown over now, but there are still a few little signs of it.


To top it off for our last lunch - had to have a steak and guiness pie!! Soooo good!! :)

Yaye DT!

So the national Top Chip Shop in NZ goes to a takeaways in Lower Hutt - congratulations So Fine Food, but the regional winner that I'm interested in for Auckland goes to Diamond Takeaways!! :) Yaye. Oh so proud!

New job - GE Money

Yes - I had to say a sad goodbye to the o so fun Jetix. The world of cartoons, mircosites and kids competitions. But also a "why hello there" to the "money"! ;P

I've been at GE Money for about a month now, pretty settled in and really enjoying the change in environment and management styles.
My title is an e-Servicing Marketing Executive and basically means I promote a service offered online. GE Money are providers of credit cards to the big high street stores in London, such as Debenhams, House of Fraser, Topshop, Topman, Evans, Dorothy Perkins, Burton and also Ryanair (to name a few). Once people have their card, they can manage this account online - so my aim is to push / encourage people to do this by ways of email campaigns and promotions etc. Quite different to what I did at TNZ or Jetix, but all new experiences are good I reckon. Some good clients to work with also.

Great location - right next to Covent Garden and the NZ shop - for yummy PIEDAY, FRIDAY! :P yumm.
Also a lovely, very early(!), 2 hour train ride to Leeds and back every month - hence the time I have to update my blog!!

Sorry for the silence...

I notice it has been about a month since I last blogged about something, I've been a little busy starting my new job and going to shows etc... so gonna bombard you with a few posts over the next week! :) So keep watching...
