Isn't it funny, as soon as you accept a position, you get loads of interviews for other jobs. Oh well!  Not to worry because I'm really happy with my choice so it's no big deal.

Thought of the day

Coffee and cake rarely lets you down.

What's next?

Search for seasonal work.
Keep updating my skills.
Try to do more exercise.
Try to be more careful with money and stop buying tops.
Eat one cake and not two a day so I can keep the doctor at bay.

Enthusiasm:                     9/10. Probably a 10 but I should not have

because those who mind don't matter,

and those who matter don't mind.'

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 had another job interview come through today but had to decline the offer because I have a job. I have a job.( Nearly) lol.

I don't want to tempt fate. 

What's next?

Carry on looking for seasonal work and updating my Maths and English skills, amongst other subjects.

Eat half of punnet of strawberries in the fridge.

 POSITIONS  OBTAINED....................................

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:

 Never be afraid to admit that there are decent people out there. 

What's next?

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.

Websites browsed:          Several

Jobs applied for:              One

Mood:                              Good, albeit a little restless.

Enthusiasm:                     Fairly good, but a little too tired to

                                         think about it.

Thought of the day:

If you think we have it bad, just think about that poor little Goldfish, swimming around for hours and not getting anywhere.

Actually, that seems to be what I am doing lol. I wasn't thinking that when I wrote it. lol

What's next?

I'm having a short break from Facebook, Twitter and everything else for a while, but I'll be back. Need to chill and come back fighting. 

And that's a promise!

See you soon. Which may be sooner than you think. lol

Money spent on

                                          well, lattes do it for me. lol

Weight:                             Yes

Thought for the day:

When life is not looking as rosy as you want it too..............drink loads of Bacardi and Coke. 

Went to town today with my father and son and bought myself a handbag. Then I treated myself to two lattes, oh yes!

It rained from the minute we got into town until we left but I didn't care. I was just glad to get out of the house and have a break from my laptop and looking at job sites with no jobs.

While I was waiting in the queue in a well known coffee shop beginning with C ( please note, there are other coffee shops available) I got chatting to a lovely lady by the side of me and proceeded to tell her my life story. I'm 51% sure she was interested. The fact that she was answering back in sentences made me feel my life story was not falling on deaf ears.

Oh yes!  Without realising what I was doing, I killed a moth this morning, after three attempts at trying to flush it down the loo. I felt terrible and soft old me, I actually shed a few tears over it.  I've never killed anything in my life. It was a good hour before I could live with myself. 

But I digress, as usual.

What's next?

1)  Take the washing out of the machine.

2)  Scoff half a punnet of strawberries.

3)  Take one last look at a few job sites.

4)  Get the dinner on.

5)  Sit down and scoff the other half of the strawberries before my 

     hubby gets home.

6)  Ask myself, why am I doing this blog.

7)  Then admit it's because I haven't got anything better to do.

8)  Then admit to myself that I'm a complete nut case.

9)  Then try to get this list up to ten.

10)  Then try not to keep saying 'then.' Then realise that I'm waffling and desperately need to take the washing out of the machine, to make my life worth living. lol

Tuesday 28/06/16

I have some great news, although it does not really apply to my job hunting. 

One of my good friends who is about to be made redundant has managed to find a job. I am so pleased for her because she is the main breadwinner in her family. So it is one less problem for her.

Well done xxx
