    I am better thanks.. I know Elvis will be well looked after up there.. I am sure he's found a nice fluffy cloud to have his nap in the sunshine :A

    Things are looking up on the job search front.. I have a couple of appointments with agencies next week and I am waiting for a confirmation of a job interview for the same day..

    I'd better get my suit to the dry cleaner.. Must remember to put it in the car tonight..

    Yay, things on the up :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    I am so glad it's the weekend.. can't wait to leave the office in a few minutes and leave it all behind..

    If I were to take everything that's going on seriously, I think I would go mad.. It truly shows you what people are really like when the brown stuff hit the fan..

    Anyway, I shall the enjoy the weekend and forget about it all..albeit for a couple of days..
