Week 3 - Half Week

I'm treated to a half week this week as Thursday and Friday are induction days at uni - meaning we'll be reminded about all the work we have this term! :-0

Had a bit of a commuting nightmare on Monday evening. Unfortunately not knowing where I was or where I was going and the fact it was dark and wet made it all a bit daunting - not my idea of fun! Thankfully I got home safely all be it 2 hours late.
My half weeks been full of ups and downs again. Monday was the first day without Anke (she's on holiday) and unfortunately there weren't many jobs going so I was filing all day. :-( Tuesday was much more exciting as I was asked to source ribbon in and around Oxford Street! As I was saying, ups and downs!
I looked around McCullock and Wallis, Kleins, John Lewis and VV Rouleaux for 12m of red velvet ribbon, 36mm wide - in other words as similar to the sample I had as I could get! Harder said than done - many were too dark, too light, too thin or too thick. Eventually I found two possibles in VV Rouleaux. I got samples and once I had approval from my mentors I ordered one which I have been to collect today, along with dropping a repaired dress to Harrods!
