Websites browsed:           Several

Jobs applied for:              One  Still just in case. lol

Mood:                              Not sure. I'm not bored, worried or fretful.

                                         Not happy or sad, not indifferent either.

                                         So I'll go for undecided lol 

Enthusiasm:                      Not as good as it should be.

Cakes eaten:                      Had a coffee and cake with my son 

                                           before food shopping and had a great

                                           banana cake and no! I don't feel 

                                           guilty, after all, it had banana in it.

Thought for the day

Banana cake, fruit cake, date cake and carrot cake. 

Who said cake wasn't healthy? 

What's next?

Looking for more jobs, just in case. Getting fed up with saying that now. lol

My police check came through, so that's dotted one i. Now waiting for the medical report and fingers crossed, that will be sorted out in the next few weeks. 

So things are looking up and hopefully, when everything is sorted, I can look forward to going back to work and enjoy the summer hols.

Not that I'm not enjoying them now.

Thought of the day

If barbie is so popular, why do we have to buy her friends?

My disclosure form came through today, so half way there.

Feeling in a great mood today. I did my job search online and now I am chilling because I've had a hectic few days.  

I might do some poetry.

I might write some more of my book.

I might test my English and Numeracy skills.

I might play a few games.

I will eat half a punnet of strawberries. 

Tuesday 27/07/2016

I've lost a little interest in all my blogs. I don't seem to be as enthusiastic as I once was. It may be because it is summer and I'm getting out more. Or it may be because I have a job in September, provided certain things are sorted out, which they seem to be.

Or it maybe because I have nothing interesting to say. No! It can't be that, because I've got away with talking nonsense so far. lol

It may be because I feel more settled.

I don't know. I could go on maybe this, or maybe that forever. 

Maybe I've finally got a life.

But I know one thing for sure. I haven't stopped waffling on, as you can see.

Thought for the day.

Mood:                          Not sure if I am moody or bored. 

Enthusiasm:                 Waning a little, but that may have

                                      something to do with me having to

                                      run around a lot for this job.

Goodies eaten:              Oh yes!  Which is another reason I feel

                                      a little fed up. I need to do some exercise.

Thought for the day:

Pumpkin.............why?

What's next?

Probably start looking for another job just in case this one falls through. There is no reason it should, but life is a strange thing.

Plan A is looking good at the moment, won't know if I have made any headway for a week.

What next?

Look for work until I know for sure if I am working in September, which looks very likely.

Monday  18/07/2016

Had a great morning with the children I am working with in September.

But it's not all plain sailing. There is a sticking point that needs to be ironed out before I can work there. Nothing serious and something which will be sorted out soon. But it needs to be addressed, sooner rather than later.

But I have an action plan in place in order to just that. Hopefully, it will all be sorted out in a few weeks. If not, then I will have to put plan B in action, which basically means, I will scream, shout and make such a fuss that they will not know what has hit them. 

Just joking.

What's next?

Continue with plan A.

Look for summer work.

Sunday 17/07/2016

Feeling, apprehensive and excited at the same time.

Saturday 16/07/2016

I am popping to my new place of work on Monday. before they finish for the summer and I have to admit, I have the butterflies.

It's only for a morning and I'm sure it will be just fine, but still, it doesn't stop me worrying.

I'm not stressed, these are natural nerves.

I may have to get my colouring out to keep me calm.

But at the same time, I am really looking forward to it. 

It's just two sleeps away. lol

More chocolate being consumed. ( Tut Tut)

All my qualifications and paperwork have been handed in and sent off. 

I have a job in September when all the i's have been dotted and everything checks out.

Next Monday, I am going to my future work place for the morning before the school hols. Looking forward to it.

I don't want to tempt fate.

My prospective employer opened the dreaded email, talked to the governors. They thanked me for my honesty and decided to.........................................................................................................

Give me the job.

The job starts in September, so I haven't finished searching for a job yet, the difference is, I have to look for seasonal work now.

Tomorrow, I'm going to hand in my qualifications and ID at my new place of work.

I'm a little apprehensive, but I am looking forward to it.

Thought of the day:

I've got a date with my husband. I'm going to wash my hair and he's going to cut my fringe ready for my visit tomorrow. Yes folks, it doesn't get any better than that? lol

Sunday  10/07/2016

Just come back from having a lovely holiday in Devon.

 Feeling refreshed.

At the moment, I have a job that starts in September, but I will not know for sure if I still have that job until they open an email I have sent them. 

I am just hoping that the saying, 'honesty is the best policy' is true. lol  I don't want to go into details as to what is in the email, but it is nothing serious. 

However, it is up to my (hopefully) future employer to interpret the information as they see fit.  

Oh dear! I feel as if I'm writing a detective story lol.

Watch this space.

Once again, my future lies in the hands of others. 

I'm too darned honest, that's my trouble. 

They say cheats never prosper, but I'm not so sure. 

I am trying to stay optimistic, really I am.
