FINALLY ... The nightmare is over! After all the interviews, fake presentations, verbal & math tests, dealing with useless recruiters who want to see you even though they have no jobs, its finally over

I accepted the position that came from Monday's job interview ... Category Manager for Unilever Foods. Nestle can take a flying leap out of my butt for mucking me around so much - 6 rounds of interviews is nothing short of obseneAnd best of all, (for my pay packet if nothing else!) I can start Monday. Oh, and I get a car! How cool!

* Crabbuckit - The KOs (thanks to Lily for bringng this song into my life, its a wee gem! Never fails to put me in a good mood!)
* Crazy English Summer - Faithless (I don't get the weather here ... summer wasn't overly hot, but stayed mild for ages, then winter came with a vengenance. Now its only moderately cold!)
* You Will Always Be The Same - Ryan Adams
* State of the Union - Thievery Corporation
* Knowhere - David Grey
* Somethings Gotta Give - The Beastie Boys

Its been a fair while since theres been a good dare, and my friend Elise decided on this one - see if I could get a could Celebrity Sighting published in Heat magazine. According to Heat, celebrities are everywhere in London - Madonna is in Boots, Gwyenth is shopping in Covent Garden - surely I must be able to spot even a B-grade celeb.

My progress so far:
* Calum Best, at Heathrow Airport after returning from Belfast, 23 July - being known as the guy who shagged Rebecca Loos on "Celebrity Love Island" hardly makes you a celeb!
* Harry Enfield, on a plane to Prague, 2 August - he was sitting behind us on the plane, going to Prague for filming.
* Myleene Klass, on Oxford Street, 5 October - one of the "Hear'Say" popstars now on CDUK.
All in all, pretty disappointing. Is it too much to bump into Ricky Gervais at Cafe Nero or something?
