Wow, it's years since I had a first day - or first day nerves. Suppose the NEC was my first first day. It was great. Had a slow puncture going to Birmingham (duh), but got there eventually and met some great people. It did make me giggle how many times I heard "what are you doing on this stand" etc. There were alot of surprised faces, but everyone was so happy for me, and positive, it was lovely. The C&C gang were very busy - but very friendly. I didn't get to have much of a nosey round the show (boo), so saved lots of money. I did notice there was a proper food bit, and someone said there was even a stall selling brandy (yes, I went back to the C&C stand, didn't disappear).
My second first day was today, in studio. I got lost trying to find my B&B last night, then again this morning! I'm a liability. Going to get a sat nav, I've resisted for so long, but just getting sick of circles. Anyhow, met loads of people today, lots of teams, and presenters. Jo and I did a piece to camera to introduce me to all the lovely C&C viewers (I was abit nervous!!), then I just watched TV - how cool is that for getting used to a job. Steph was really nice, went through all the doings, and I'm going to be doing a walk on tomorrow at some stage - wow. They are being great, and breaking me in gently. Really excited and wanted to have a go - especially the show with the templates on the CD - the wedding one. Did you see, the samples were amazing.
Anyhow, I'm now back in my room, chilling out. Looking forward to tomorrow!!

Glad you are having such a good time, look forward to seeing you on C&C. Keep having fun.

Can't wait to see you on C & C, glad things went ok. Hugs Tx
put the kettle on and have a brew and chill
I record C&C every day from 8 til 1 so I can watch at my leisure, look forward to seeing you do your walk on.
I saw the CD with the wedding stuff on, the samples were lovely, I'd buy that sort of CD if I got an order for wedding invitations, it looked ideal - no pun intended - lol.
Hi Leonie.

Argh got such a shock when I flicked onto Ideal World and saw you - I must admit I don't buy much from Ideal World there postage is way to high on a lot of items but if your going to be a regular I will certainly tune in more I loved your happy go lucky presenting style - you will be a huge loss to QVC and Dawn I hope she realises that - good luck xx
Hello Leonie,
welcome to Ideal World!
Maybe if you need a Sat Nav you could get the Tom Tom Xl Classic. I will be presenting it on air very soon! lol
Hope to meet you soon
Janice Technical Guest Presenter x
