Happy Geek Day

An easy one for me to remember it's my mum's birthday.

Loads of highlights for me but specifically for 2008 it has to be meeting, learning and working with the truly genuinely wonderful AXIOM. What can I say? a lovely genuine guy who only deserves happiness xxxx

My continuing friendship with Izzidoll without Salon Geek I would never have known has been a highlight throughout my time in geeklandxxxx

Finally getting to see Fiona Wallace again at her new venture cos I missed our chats and her xxxx

Learning that Morgandie was WELL is my best highlight from my whole time on Geek xxxxxx

Happy Geek Day....and congrats to Sam on his not so little Geek baby...all grown up now with a big 5.......and many more to come

What gave you the idea in the first place....?

I can just imagine the first day and the continuous excitement you must have felt each day that followed with new members...threads and posts....watching your Geek baby grow

My highlight was for sure The SS Event....it was da bomb !!

OOOhhhh so hard to narrow it down!

Chatting with so many people from here and learning so much from them.
Meeting some of them in person and being able to call some of them really true friends.
The amazing generosity of time, knowledge and resources of so many on here.
Attending the inspirational Event.

Happy GeekDay!! xx

I missed this yesterday but Happy belated Geekday!!

My highlight of the year was the S2 Event for sure, Samantha and Geeg know what it did for me and I cant to this day quite believe I actually went! Jan Arnold doesn't let anyone fade into the background either and my CND Break out session with her sat next to me for much of it was an amazing experience.

Cheers to all who make up S2 and all the educators and ambassadors and also all the Geeks who helped to make the Event so memorable, and this site, such a very special thing to have to fall back on for the greatest resource of help and advice, both professional and personal. I've made some fabulous friends

Well I couldn't agree more
(oooo does this mean I am now a piece of salon geek history )

Anyway my special time this year on the geek was the EVENT !!
The whole beginning to end ! and what is coming to me since...

Having that chance to be in a massive room filled with some of the worlds most successful, and most inspirational techs at some times I did actually think I may BURST!
Not only the amount of education I received, but the way I was made to feel like I was 'friends' with EVERY single person there.... I felt like I knew everyone and had for ages from the very moment I stepped out of my car (very flustered) I was greeted by Jen with my geeky badge, The excitement just never ended even for weeks afterwards,
Some words spoken to me during that weekend I will never forget (Especially when Gigi made me cry lmao, in a lovely way might I add )

The night time, winning my award was THEE most amazing thing to happen to me other than the birth of my daughters...
I shook like a leaf and was TOTALLY petrified when I saw sooooo many faces looking back at me,
I thought I must have looked totally stupid up there on the stand with all these amazing people and then ME shaking like a good un' but some of you geeks know the personal problems I had over the last few years knocked my confidence totally. this was a massive thing I couldn't believe I had won !!! ...

The whole event made me more passionate than ever, and made me focus on what I would like to achieve with my career and made me think I CAN ACTUALLY DO IT !!!!

AND I CANT WAIT !!!!!

I never had any plans for my life for a long long time, I never thought there was a point to be honest I thought I had to just 'settle' BUT...
....The salon geek website with all the GORGEOUS members it contains
have helped me change from a young mum with no life mapped out for herself, stuck in a bit of a 'mum rut'
to a young mum with lots of plans and ambitions that I will hopefully fulfill and that is rubbing off on my kids too happier mum....happier kids !

HAPPY GEEKDAY
THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS HELPED ME THROUGH THE LAST 7 MONTHS AND THE NEW FRIENDS I HAVE MET, THIS SITE IS GREAT AND KEEP IT GOING GEEKS

Amen to that!

Happy Geekday!!

my highlight...hangin with the Sweets and a few fellow geeks in Cali last summer

BELATED HAPPY GEEK DAY!!!!!!!!

My salon geek highlight must be all the help and support I continue to get from this site and of course feedback from The Event.

Thanks to Sam for creating the site, Samantha for letting him and all the mods for the enormous task they have in keeping us all in line xxx

I can see myself logging on here at 70 lol!

Jeez...have I really been geeking for 6 years????????

Samuel.....thank-you

Highlights of 2008?....too many to list tbh, it has been a phenomonal year for us (me and Fee) - but the biggest, bestest would have to be the 'love-in' that was 'The Event' ....and all the people that I met there that have touched my life

What will 2009 bring? Can't wait....I just know it's going to be amazing!!!!!

(oh and meeting 'Little Ted' was also very special)

Who is TED?????

exactly!!!!????!!!!

Sorry it is a private joke - I told Sam there were too many Fionas on the site and he said I could rename them all to Ted LOL. Fiona Wallace and I discussed it and it has stuck
