Thank you dear @Iamminda
I'm so happy to be home
Mr Dawn and I had a really good day. We went for a day trip and had a really nice long walk in the sunshine. I felt like I could breathe

Not purse related, but I feel like I need to buy something soon-ish to celebrate how well things are going at work at the moment.

It's been absolutely hectic and I'm working insane hours, which is sad

But, here are some of the things that have happened in the past 2 weeks:

- I have been given a very prominent slot in an industry conference next month. It's basically all a lineup of CEOs, and then pipsqueak Dawn. I am equal parts terrified and thrilled.

- I got highest speaker rankings at a course I chaired this week.

- I did a bunch of really scary meetings in the Caribbean and presented to the Board of my client. I've been asked to join their Board meetings to provide a direct line of advice going forward. To my manager, the feedback my clients gave was that I am "superb", "stupendous", a "consummate professional" and a "star"

- I went for coffee with the founding Partner of my firm yesterday and he says he only hears good about me (I've never worked directly with him). He says I have a unique skill set and that I should make Partner in the next batch of promotions, in about a year. I'm not sure I believe that. It's too fast!!

I'm only 31. I feel a bit scared that I'll burn out, but I'm really enjoying the buzz. I progressed very slowly in my career to begin with, and I've been very sad about some things in the past 5-6 years, so I'm very grateful for this element of my life running so brightly at the moment.

I thought I'd write down here, because my friends () would be happy and this thread is a bit of a diary for me

If only I wasn't so tired all the time... Must work on my work life balance!!

Dear Miss Dawn, Thanks for sharing about the glorious happenings in the last weeks. We are so happy about your progress and achievements at work. Not surprise at all about your super star status!!! You are awesome and work so hard and most certainly deserve all of the accolades. (Who is this “pipsqueak” you were referring to? ). With that said, we are concerned about your long hours and don’t want you to burn out so please take good care and try to rest and relax whenever possible. Yes, please work on your work life balance and keep us posted on everything. Take care and please check in with us for a mental “break” every now and then, ok?

Back home! Leaving again for a few days tonight but Mr Dawn will come with me today

And finally unboxed my present from Mr Dawn. My new Gucci Marmont shoulder bag in Hibiscus Red

I've had my eye on this for a year, and I've been trying to get hold of it for about a month but it's sold out everywhere! Gucci customer service said it's not available anywhere in the UK, Paris, Brussels, Rome, Milan... She just listed a bunch of cities it was sold out. Black available, nudes aplenty but no red

So Mr Dawn went on a mission. He called all the London stores and asked them to check if they had a piece somehow overlooked on the central system. They said black, purple, green, nude, pink all available but no red

Finally Selfridges found one piece. And it was a perfect new piece. The last one in London and most of Europe if customer services are to be believed

After that epic saga, here she is...

Congratulations on your Marmont shoulder bag - I love Gucci’s Hibiscus Red! It looks great in your garden pics. Congratulations on all the recent work wins, it is wonderful when your efforts are appreciated!
I’m not a doctor - two of my friends were recently diagnosed with low iron levels from their blood tests (explaining their fatigue). Is it possible to check your iron levels with your medical professionals, to rule out any medical causes?
Best wishes Miss Dawn.

Thank you very much indeed dear @Iamminda It's very sweet of you to share in all my joys! I had another crazy week at work and the CEO cornered me. She wanted to know about my trip to the Caribbean (it was a big deal, I was on television). I thought she'd have something specific to say, but actually she just wanted to hear how I am, tell me to slow down, and try to work less. She's afraid I'll burn out. I've promised I'll try to balance things. I'm really touched.

I'm going to not work this weekend. I'll do my best to relax

I love my red Gucci. And I also love your Nude Marmont, which is gorgeous!!
I sat in my garden this morning for ages and just listened to birdsong. It was so relaxing. Oh and my roses have started blooming. Here are some pictures for you

Thank you for the lovely compliments my friend @More bags
My mum is a doctor and she regularly checks things in my bloods. I'm pretty sure my exhaustion is because I'm working night and day, not because of anything physical! Thank you for your concern!

I'm now enjoying 3 days of doing nothing (it's a long weekend in the UK )

It was bothering me that my brown collage in the superbrand family pictures wasn't quite right! One of the pictures was a bit blurry. Updated collection collages by colour below
