9 days left and it's going to be intense..... wk exp

I have just over a week left of my work placement and actually think i'm going to miss it! or shall i say the people. I have learnt a lot over these few weeks- I can't really put my finger on what that is but I have. Running a business and keeping on top oof things is insane! I have no idea how they do it. There are so many different things that go on and it's hectic as hell! The girls in the office work so hard and seem to never stop; especially Sally our PA; wait, no all of them are the same!

I have learned more about excell, considering I hadn't used it since I was 15 up until now and manage to get through is a comforting thing to know, and Sally showed me a few tips today which was nice of her as she took time out of her crazy little world to do so. I felt appreciated, a little more.

I also have done some accounting for Fal, sorting out reciepts for her to reclaim the VAT from petty cash purchases. I helped with shop merchandising, stock takes, I have sewn up a fur collar for Gresham, which is to to be used in a meeting with Harvey Nichs, to discuss a concession for Gresham Blake and a new range of ready- to- wear clothing, featuring moleskine trousers, selvedge denim and the likes of. He has also given me an insight into his other little projects and I can't wait to see the outcomes. :)

I am to sew up a lenggth of fabric for a project Gresham is working on with John Link, an illustrator; and I will probably explain more at a later date when it's all finished!

eeee excited for this next week so much but maaaaan it's going to be imense, manic darn right difficult! ha, wish me luck :S
