    This will possibly sound a bit 'out there' El, however when I was looking for a new job I wrote a letter to the universe (good old cosmic ordering) and listed 5 'wants' associated with this new post.

    Seven years later, I am still loving the job that came my way (I know that this will sound all hippy trippy, but it did work for me - honest!)

    Good luck El, the right job will come your way X

    Whereas I just retrained, took a loan from my very helpful father (cough, cough), lived in abject poverty for a couple of years, and am still in the !!!! BUT I do love my job and there was no future in local government for me.

    MG I would love to but sadly I'm night shift all week :(

    Would be great to catch up again as well ... Will see if I can maybe take a holiday, don't think it will be possible though, but if I can I will let you know, would be great to do something together in Glasgow and I could have you back for dinner and some alcoholic ginger beer before taking you back to your hotel

    Will do my best xx

    Am using our new halogen oven to cook dinner, we haven't use it as much as we thought we would but its still great so far :)

    I need to try kefir again, I have bought it so many times now an I just can't get myself to drink it, I need to drink it though as it Is good for the gut, but I don't want to buy another batch if grains until I know I will use them.

    GG you mentioned Ed to speak to re pensions .... Do u think he would mind if I asked him some? I haven't really had the chance to chat with him so don't want to just jump in and say hey Ed can ya help if you know what I mean ?

    My leg is a mess a total mess and very very sore, the antibiotics are working but I have a feeling my leg I gonna be a mess for a while will try and post pictures ... Don't look at them before dinner it will put ya off
