One of the agencies phoned on Friday evening with a potential brief for this week. I kept everything crossed all weekend but by 4pm on Monday I still hadn't heard anything. Desperate to get out of the house, I'd gone into town to meet Claire for lunch. She had the day off and had just bought half of Topshop with her 15 year old niece.
After lunch we had some time to kill and not much money to spend so we decided to take advantage of the off-peak cinema ticket and see Jennifer Aniston's new film, 'He's Just Not That into You'. I'm not generally a cinema fan but I like a film I can relate to (!), so off we went to the horribly Blackpool-esque Trocadero near Picadilly Circus for a couple of hours of switch off your brain (and your phone) girly movie fun.
It was the most expensive film I'd ever seen because when I came out 2 hours later and switched my phone back on, I had 4 messages and a couple of texts trying to confirm me for the rest of the week at an agency in Farringdon. By the time I got back to them it was too late. They'd found someone else. I wouldn't mind but it's the first time my phones been off all year.
Lesson learned: Mobile phone's have silent/vibrate mode for a reason. Use it.
