...all change

Just a quick post so this blog doesn't slip into despair :op

I've decided that I'm going to call it a day with the Uni thoughts, this has been helped greatly by the fact that absolutely everything to do with my application for the degree went wrong at some point causing me many headaches.

I've been working on a temp basis for the local Council for the last few months & a few permanent positions have become available...with a bit of persuading from my colleagues here (who for some odd reason enjoy working with me) I've put in for a few of the posts *wish me luck*

My friend "J" has moved into her house with her new hubby & loves it & I've spent less than a week in my house in the last month since I've been seeing "M"...don't think I've ever spent this much time with someone & still be enjoying their company so much...it's great :)

Well I should get back to work now...erm well my cup of tea anyway, hopefully my next post will be a bit more exciting :op

Ciao for now

Would you?...

This was so random I had to share it with everyone.

Meet the parents

Can't believe it's only been 16 days since "M" & I started dating!...feels like much longer (but definitely not in a bad way). Tonight I meet "M"'s Mum & Step Dad for the first time...& I'm pretty nervous to say the least!...new blouse "check"...not too revealing "check"...Mints "check"...Nails just painted in the office so they aren't chipped making me look like a vagrant "double check"...I really should think about something else :s

...wish me luck!

...thinking out loud.

I'm so confused (am I ever anything else?)

I really want to go into teaching & have the chance to get on to a degree course in October... the only thing is I would have to take time out from work & volunteer at the local school to pass the final interview for the course.

I've been told I'm welcome at the school & work have also agreed the time off, great...you may think?! I'm not so sure it's the way I should be doing things though. True the degree would be the quickest & most direct path into teaching but the time off work, then having to work part time for four years! (remember I've worked pretty much fulltime for the past 6 years) *argh*...if you knew how much I have to pay out monthly you may understand my worries...plus as soon as my parents move I've got to find somewhere to live which equals more expense, & then there is my driving to consider, my theory runs out in November so I've promised myself I'll get my practical passed before then so I'll have lessons to pay for & a car to save for!

I'm considering looking for a permanent job & looking into studying on an evening at the local college instead...maybe :s

I don't know...I just needed to write that out to see if it actually looks as complicated a decision as I'm making it out to be...any input at all would be greatly appreciated..

Dankie :)
