Happy Dance

I'm sorry if It seemed like I disappeared for a while after telling you all that I was deep in a dark hole of despair - ok so maybe it wasn't THAT desperate but I hope none of you feared for my sanity....Remember Im Irritatingly Optimistic after all.

Anyway it was nothing to do with any of that, more because of the fact that I'd got accustomed to blogging on either my iphone or lately iPad and for some reason both had failed me. Had I spent a moment thinking it through I would have had it sorted out weeks ago, but wasn't until today that decided to do something about it and emailed Blogpress. Within minutes I was up and running again. OK so I knew I should have just uninstalled and re installed it again.

So here I am on a gorgeous sunny (although not hot) afternoon at the skatepark blogging away merrily.

Oh I suppose you want to know what happened with all the job stuff.

Firstly on Tuesday I went along to the temp job only to sit at a computer all day looking through practice maths n English tests to familiarize myself with what I would be supporting students with. It was tedious and had I not been getting a stupid hourly rate I may have left early.

Wednesday I spent the morning preparing for my interview, doing a presentation and running through questions and answers. After lunch I went off for the interview and came home feeling pretty confident although these days you never know if there are people already lined up for posts.

Thursday was pretty hectic finishing off the students on the Personal Best course I'd been delivering for the last 4 weeks. Just before lunch I took a phone call from one of the interviewers at the college. They would like to offer me .............yay!!!!!

Talk about chuffed to bits and over the moon. After ringing and texting nearest and dearests I skipped happily home. Only to discover that my child minder of 7 years was no longer able to have Alexander full time.

After a mini paddy I got onto the Ofsted website to search for a new child minder who could collect Alexander from his school and had a free full time place. Fortunately one of the four I found actually answered the phone at 7pm and a visit was arranged for the next day.

The outcome of the week was that it's pretty much 'all change' for Alexander and I. New job, new childcare, lots of new people and new rules.

Well they say change is as good as a rest don't they? Come Monday I will feel like I've slept a hundred years!
