There’s a buzz going around blogs based in London about a site called 7thsyndikate that’s popped up, which appears to be a marketing campaign for a yet-unknown event in London in 4 days time.

As I’m not based in London I didn’t think that trying to sign up to see what it’s all about (what? I’m Scottish so therefore I’m nosy) but I got a username and password sent out to my email earlier today.

Well, I’m still confused as I was reading any blogs that mentioned it. I think it’s an awesome idea though, as nobody seems to have a clue what it’s about - there’s talks of Cold War exhibitions and preview screenings of the new 007 film (which, by the way, has the WORST theme tune ever!)

Be interesting to see how this plans out, it reminds me so much of Bad Wolf (Whovian’s will understand this).

[EDIT] I think I may just have worked it out. Cold War Exhibition. Right area of London, pictures used on the website match up with the hidden images on flickr and other sites, the agent names fit in well…colour scheme on both sites match. What else could it be?

How is it that I got paid a week ago but I have no money left? I think that after I pay my bus ticket I’ll only have about £40 to last me three weeks! Plus £15 my mum owes me and £30 in my PayPal account.

Grr.. I cannot wait until I’ve paid off all of my debts. It’s really starting to get me down that I have never got any spare cash. I’m going to set up an eBay account and start selling off all this random stuff I found when I was tidying my room. Limited Edition Doctor Who Plate, anyone? Seriously. Where did that come from?

I suppose it’s a good thing that I’m not in my best friend’s situation. He’s got so much stuff to buy for the baby, and baby clothes and things aren’t exactly cheap. His family are helping them out a lot but even still - they’ve both got so much to buy for the little one, I can’t believe how expensive kids are!

Apparently I’m in for a wage rise next month, although going by my bosses it works out at around £35 per pay. Which really isn’t that much, and there’s a good chance that I’ll get less than that because I’m a supervisor and he’s a manager. Hmm, be interesting to find out how much the increase is. I doubt that it will make much difference since it’ll come off in tax and national insurance anyway. I knew I should have bargained for a wage increase when I was moving shops, but I guess I’d have been told to get lost.

Countdown to leaving my shop is 2 and a half weeks and I’m still not looking forward to it. I know that it’s a great opportunity for my career, but I still don’t want to leave my wee shop and all the awesome staff! I suppose I should stop being a spoilt brat about it all and just take this chance and go for it 200%.
