Hugs to those who need them.

Good - stressful week at work ended with an awesome night out last night to a restaurant followed by cocktail bar. Got very drunk with fantastic colleagues.

Bad - hungover today, can't work out whether it's a stayer or whether I can eat it away. I hope the latter as ...

Bad - I caught myself calling a crisp a chip yesterday. Damn international English.

Good - our analytics consultant was in town from Boston for the past three days, I have learnt SO much more about web analytics (I know it's nerdy but I love data science). She also said that she sees "real leadership qualities" in me which I was really pleasantly surprised at. I tend to put myself down so much and lack confidence where I shouldn't so that really gave me a boost!

Good - husband is about to make me a cup of tea. He doesn't know it yet though ...
