    I am waiting to hear back from a company today about a possible job to start tomorrow at the earliest it is part time but it pays well. I have the relevant experience and I am keen to get started! I only found out about it today, however it is for a job title I am keen to get on my CV 'Bookkeeper' it is just three weeks but will be good to do something and a chance to shine. I guess there is always a chance of perm, but realistically it is just temp. I would love it if I have a job to go to tomorrow! The recruiter seemed to think it was a definite. We shall see.

    I got the job so that is some good news, I won't make a lot but it will be better then claiming benefits and it will be good on the CV, Plus it is only two days per week! I am thrilled and it is not far to drive to and will be an all rounder job. I need to go in with the best foot forward and prove myself you never know when someone might call you back! Anyhow it will give me something to do and I will have more money at the end of the month then had I not go the job! Win Win!

    Have a lovely day allXX

    Big congratulations on the new job. 
    Thanks guys, I really appreciate it. Tomorrow was planned to help MD wrap her pressies, so that is still going ahead, I may leave early and do a recy, then R&R before starting the next day. I do feel like something good is going to happen out of it. I already have plans for what I want to do when I get there, even though I haven't seen what it is like I have worked with the system before (Sage 50) and I know a few useful tricks to make the job better. I am a bit nervous about some elements so I think I will do a little search on the web before going. I will do it tonight. Wishing you lovely evenings XX

    You know how good news comes in threes, well my second bit of good news has appeared, I have two people interested in the room. I have a job to start tomorrow for three weeks. And all I need now is a job to start January 1st! Today I am hoping will see the end of MDs Xmas shop and I guess all that is left is to decorate the flat and sort MDs Xmas tree out. MD still hasn't said if she wants to come over for Xmas I will ask her today.

    Have a good day allXX

    MD has guests coming to hers on Xmas day and therefore I have decided she cannot come over, as I like to know what is happening in advance and not wait to find out when someones shifts are. However we are going to spend the day together on Christmas Eve and have a buffet and play a game and exchange gifts. So I will have two Christmas's !! Anyhow I may have someone here on Christmas day - I suspect though they will go home should I have a lodger by then.

    Today has been very Christmassy, I have wrapped a lot of MDs little gifts for hampers (4X Hampers with about 7-9 items in each plus other gifts, I also put up the tree so MDs house now looks the part, she is happy. I really need to do some chores, I think my sugars are elevated from all the coca-cola I have been having which is making me lethargic. I think I will do a non MSE thing and buy Lunch for tomorrow and the next day, I just can't face peeling eggs which half fall apart to make egg mayo sarnies, the first time was a fluke every time after it has been a knightmare to get the shell off, if only they sold shelled boiled eggs!

    I very much have not been MSE for a large part of the year, I hate all the changes all the time, stopping work, starting work, Taking MD out, there is no rythym, I am just living day to day with no map, it is a knightmare. I feel I can only be healthy/ healthier when I follow a structured routine, me no likey 😒

    I have a visitor tonight a potential future lodger! I have done a bit of tidying the bare minimum really but it wasn't that bad to start. I am a bit nervous about meeting him he is closer in age to me, actually older, he has a nice face and he is verified on spare room. wish me luck. 🍀😊🍀
