Erm Motivation?...where did you go?

Well hello there.

I have feebly attempted a couple of diaries in the past and I thought I would try again.

I love reading this site, it is filled with lovely people and it gives lots of encouragement and motivation and great ideas. Have been back lurking again so thought 'why I would quite like some of that' :)

I am not feeling the sunshine at the mo and am in a bit of a low place but I am putting this episode down to too much pressure. My beau and I have just moved to your favourite spot in England, North Devon. Which was great timing weather wise, but I left my last job back near London without a new one down here. I am now feeling too much pressure to find a new one and it tends to render me inactive. (and takes a deep breath). No more moping for me though, will apply and apply like nobodies business... tomorrow ;)

I am going to spend tomorrow coming up with a sensible plan (not the usual I can do everything all in a week and miraculously have a spotlessly clean house and finances in order too while I am at it plan) and apply for a few jobs I found today to help me feel a bit more productive. Plan will include money, work, hobbies, fitness, home. Yay, making lists!!! Time to get the colour biros out :rotfl:

Wow feels good to write stuff down sometimes, even if it is a bit of a ramble!
