8.30am - Alarm sounds, feeling a little groggy after a few pint's in the pub last night after football. Think it might be a good idea to hit the snooze button!

9.35am (ish) - Arrive at "Future Towers" in the center of Bath. Toms train seems to be delayed, Ben is most likely still in bed (hung over Im sure because of pub last night) and Ed is currently over in the Princes Street office working on Cycling News development.

10.45am - Open up my designs for the BikeRadar Live event, and carry on working on this as it was dropped on my yesterday with an expected 48hour turnaround - apparently after publishing in our biking mags the site launch date, they actually "forgot" to request the site to be designed and built!

12.20pm - Meeting ends, seems I am going to be drawing up a intensive style guide, supplying all HTML & CSS elements as well as guidelines for brand implemntation as a package that we can send to our International Partners who wish to set up their own version of T3.
