January...

Well, it is the beginning of the year and already Cadbury's Cream Eggs are in the shops. We found them even before the New Year had started...

We have booked a holiday to.... France - quel surprise! We are going in March so we have something good to look forward to. Pity Kevin as he will be driving although Tim will be supervising the route.

I am currently in between jobs and have decided that although I will continue temping when an assignment comes along I will now concentrate upon looking for permanent work as I feel thqt it is high time that I get "into" something again. I have completed a couple of application forms in the last week and it takes me approximately 3 hours a time!! Loads of concentration.

My writing course starts back up on Tuesday for 5 weeks. If I am not working it may give me the opportunity to give more to it as sometimes all I wanted to do was sleep after a day's work.

Today I was attempting to multi-task by cooking the dinner as well as talk on the phone. Well I looked down to the grill area and could see flames shooting out of the grill as the sausage fat had ignited. I hastily made my excuses on the phone and tackled my mini blaze without setting off the smoke alarm!!

Despite not working this week, time is passing quickly as I am trying to undertake a number of projects. We have a new laptop and I am organising all our photos trying to get to grips with the software. Is it me or does anyone else feel left behind? I have discovered that you can have a slide show of your photos using your TV equipment.

Tomorrow, I am going blonde (sounds like I have already with my heroics today), going to the Job Centre and seeing a Recruitment Consultant. I know how to live.

It's all go...
