Thank you Paula! I think a coffee top-up will do the trick, hopefully I'm nearing the end......

Wow at the snow and what a lovely puss cat! Guessing it's a he - most gingers are, apparently, and most torties are females. No idea why.

Big news from my puss cat. She jumped up on the bed last night for the first time since her eyesight went, and managed to get down safely by herself. It was so nice - I've missed her jumping up for a cuddle. Taking it as a sign that she is managing ok.

I am suffering a serious lack of motivation today, so I'm going to spend the evening doing a combination of soaking in a bubbly bath, reading a book and vegging in front of the telly. Just can't be bothered to work tonight!

Paula - loving the smiley! Bless him, think our DDs and DSs are going to get us in trouble with EBaying at this rate! Question is, which smart little so and so is going to be the first to EBay their school bits? You have 12 months to get a passport, thats a really bad excuse!

Jo- hope the chocolate is delivered and you are feeling better soon! Know what you mean about deep heat, last time I used it I came out in such a big rash that the doc sent me to hospital convinced I had contracted a tropical disease! (I was only 12 and they didn't make the connection).

Amber - impressed at the snow, which is more than can be said for kitty! If its like that this time next year, can we delay the ADM til its warmer? lol

Right, today I have an almost tidy house, which is good enough for me and I have got all my bits in a pile to pack up later, then back to the dreaded book listing!

Glad to hear your mog's doing better - you'll know her best, so if you think the signs are good then they are. Mine is actually female, she isn't as ginger as the photo makes her look, she has reddish 'highlights' that show up in the sun (and the flash).

saw this on full circle arts website. Various locations pretty good money while training.
"Museums Association Traineeships
The Museums Association wants to make museum careers more accessible to people who cannot afford to pay for training or to volunteer extensively and whose background and family circumstances may have made it hard for them pursue a museum career.
They are responding to research that suggests that most people who work in museums are from relatively affluent backgrounds. They believe that, as public institutions, serving and representing the whole of the community, museums have a duty to help combat inequality in all its forms.
These traineeships are aimed at people who are on a low-income now, who come from a less affluent background and who may not have had a family tradition of higher education or professional work. The intention is to train people to enable them to apply for work in the UK museum sector and applicants must have a serious intention to seek work in UK museums on completion of their training.
In the past, the MA has run programmes of positive action training for black and minority ethnic (BME) people and disabled and deaf people. For these new traineeships, they welcome applications from all sections of the community although, as black and minority ethnic people are under-represented in the museum workforce, they particularly welcome applications from BME people who meet the other criteria.
Disabled and deaf people are of course welcome to apply to this programme if they meet the eligibility criteria, but may also want to consider the Bill Kirby traineeships for disabled and deaf people, which are also being advertised now.
These traineeships have been supported by Renaissance - the regional museums programme from the Museums, Libraries & Archives Council (MLA).
They are offering two kinds of traineeships: three that involve a postgraduate museum studies course with an extended period of work experience, and three that involve a year-long programme of work-based learning in a museum.
* Trainee description for 5-month placement, plus postgraduate course:
Bankfield Museum, Halifax
London Transport Museum
University of East Anglia
* Trainee description for 12-month work-based traineeship: Museum of London
Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums
Yorkshire Sculpture Park
Applicants may apply for as many of the six traineeships as they wish. However, each of the traineeships offers a slightly different training opportunity. You are advised to read the traineeship descriptions carefully and decide which would be most appropriate for you.
For the traineeships involving a postgraduate course, they will pay course fees and will provide successful applicants with GBP 2000 towards essential course expenses. During the five-month period of work experience, you will be paid a tax-free training bursary of GBP 1000 a month.
For the work-based traineeships, they will pay a tax-free training bursary of GBP 1000 a month for 12 months.
In both cases, you will also have access to a package of professional development support from the MA, including a free place at MA training events and conferences and tailored support and professional development advice.
You must be able to demonstrate that you require financial support in order to be able to train for work in museums now. You must also demonstrate that your opportunities to train for museum work or for other similar careers in the past have been limited.
The closing date for applications is 29th March 2010.
