Altogether different...

It's Halloween night and we've had the sum total of one little boy with his dad knock on the door. I know there's a lot of old folk where I live, but I thought we'd have had more than that. Oh well, maybe next year I'll go out trick or treatin myself!

I thought going on your holidays was supposed to be a stress free time, NOT. My head is a jumble of what to take, is it clean? does it need ironing? where is it?

I think I need to go to bed and start afresh tomorrow!

Halloween Madness

It's now only a few days until my holiday, I've not even started to pack yet. I'll be standing ironing and packing tonight as I don't have much time to do it during the rest of the week. I lead an exciting life don't I?

Everything else is sorted, tickets, money, sunglasses..etc

If I don't get chance to post before I go...I'll catch up when I get back.

Wish me Bon Voyage!

A return to the fold...

I can't believe it's been over a month since I last updated this. Time has just flown by and it seams that so little has happened.

My holiday is now only 4 weeks away and it seems an age since it was booked, but there it is almost on the horizon and most within reach if I close my eyes. I'm there already sat on the white sand on Venice Beach watching the guys go by…

Shameless Oppertunism...

Big changes and shakes up at my employer meant that yesterday lots of people were made redundant...but not me.

This morning I arrived at 7.15am and claimed someones big leather chair.

I felt guilty for seconds...

When I first started with this employer, there were around 20 people in the workforce, it has steadily grown to around 40, and now today we're back at 20. In 3 years we seem to have gone full circle, and now I'm one of the longest serving members of staff. Which is weird. It also means I'm one of the most experienced too.

I've worked with some great people over the last 3 years and I'll miss some of them a great deal.

But now, it's time to look forward and focus on the tasks we've been set, if those of us who are left want to still be here in a years time.

I like my job....and I'll do anything to protect it and those of us who are left.

So, focus, focus, focus...

Mr Fahrenheit...

The temperature guage in my garden reached 109 yesterday...there's no wonder the plants are wilting!
