    This is the one due in by midnight tonight - Hackney. It's been like War and Peace, the only thing they haven't asked for is my inside leg and where my birthmark is!

    Now I'm starting on tomorrow's Newbury. Tomorrow I also need to look for stop gap jobs in the NE.

    B

    Well good luck with those. And if you're going to Hackney, you're going to need it...

    I hope you enjoyed your time away...Isn't it good to be back..? ;)

    I'm in the far north-east. I blame the Scots - it's their crap weather... ;)

    It was muggy here, then the skies opened, and now it's not so muggy (but still a bit).

    I'm hoping it's going to be dry today as I got back from Mike's on Sunday, spent yesterday in Northumbria's library and need to get my clothes out on the line and dry for packing ready to go to London tomorrow.

    Thanks Loobey,

    I have to say its looking good. I've just finished my second application form and now it is cleaning, packing and maybe a little look at local jobs for the interim.

    Friend has half price cinema ticket so I think we're doing that tonight. Hence why I have to get on!
