Four hours, did Kensington Gardens, Hyde Park, Green Park, St James Park round through Horse Guards Parade, followed the route to Westminster Cathedral, a few rounds to check out the prep for the wedding, through Pimlico to Embankment all the way to Worlds End Chelsea, back up the Kings Road (looking a bit shabby) up the back of Sloane Street, back across the park, quick paddle in Diana's Fountain which is great, then across Little Venice and home. Cycling down a very quiet embankment opposite Battersea Park with the sun reflecting off the Thames was the most superb bit.

My partner came with me who doesn't have a bike, and did the whole tour with me on the Boris Bikes for a fiver! That really rocks.

The interview tomorrow is a 12 month contract which I know I should be grateful for but I can't face the fact that if I get it I could be doing all this again next year. I think I've completely lost the will to carry on with job hunting.

Opportunities can come along in the most unexpected ways. A temp job for one year may lead to a longer job or even a permanent one. Being inside a company will give you an inside track on what jobs could be upcoming. It's also something extra on your CV, far more preferable than a long spell off work that has to be explained.

I realise that it can be hard to be positive at times but taking a temp job may lead to better things whereas being on the outside reduces your options.

Well that's my postlitivity gone.

My computer is less fooked than it was - but still not right.

I signed on today and they gave me 2 jobs to apply for. One i can't get the application up because of decking pop up blocker. And the other has a wrong email address on it.

So yay for the positive vibes. I give up.

Good morning everyone.

Well yesterday ended up less depressing than I thought. I found a job to apply for :j. I also posted a 'job wanted' ad on gumtree and I've had a few responses. The reason I've held off doing it for so long is because I thought I would just get scammy responses but one does look genuine so I am going to look at that in more detail today. Already done another application this morning which brings me up to a grand total of three since my last visit to JCP :eek:. Job day today so hopefully may get a few more apps in.

Have a nice day all.

P.S Drea how did your meeting go with Princes Trust? I'm still waiting for them to get back to me.

My husband has an interview today for a job he doesn't want, working for a company he doesn't want to work for, in a difficult location. This whole thing is getting him down.

Please can the job fairy visit us with an opportunity worthy of his abilities.

Good Morning All!

The job section is looking very thin right now, I have a meeting in a couple of hours with a recruitment advisor who thinks that she may have some opportunities for me so hopefully something will come from that. I found one job to apply for last night but that was it, really do hope that it picks up soon.
