    Waiting, wishing, worrying

    OK, now it has been damn long enough in between jobs.  I am bored stiff.  Truly bored, I've walked up the walls and cleaned my bikes underparts enough times to see my face in them!  Getting a job offer from a career position that I could be in for what may be the rest of my life is v lucky and I am very thankful.  I know that I can do the job and will be given training which is grand, but knowing I have to wait a full month before starting was almost unbearable.  I'm telling ya, I cannot do that housewife stuff, being at home all day everyday drives me nuts.  I hear you thinking 'well why dont you get out, go for a ride or go shopping or something??'.  The answer to this my friends is quite simple: money/Geld/cash/the grease that makes the world go round.  What with everyones's incomes feeling the pinch of higher mortgage repayments, energy bills, food shopping bills and petrol, it's crippling.  All the money I had left from my previous job has gone on bills and wedding bits and bobs so my partner and I are having to survive off his income.  Hence my friends, trying not to live out of his pocket and going out spending money on petrol, or public transport fares...
    A VIP q I have if anyone happens to live near Bexley, Kent, England- then by God help me find a place I can have my wedding reception!!  All these places are quoting thousands of pounds just to hire a hall and another thousand plus to have food, bloody crazy!!  So for the past four weeks of solid searching I have found one place reasonable but no room for a DJ, so that's not a reception really now is it?  So I either badly need to win the lottery (I don't enter it) or just have some poor showSad  It's not easy stuff, nor is it cheap!
    Oh well, enough moaning- I have a roof over my head no?  A family, friends and eventually a job, so what the @%*& am I moaning for??! Smile Life is good Wink

    Work-a-looming

    Well I should start work on 1st July, checks pending, so it should be good to get back to the grindstone and use that nugget again :)
    So in the meantime, I'm working on the house, wedding plans and cluing myself up on the law again, so when I arrive in work that day I will have the knowledge in my brain ready to access and be built on again, student again: are we ever not a student?  Hmm philosophical questions at this time of night???  I think I should go bed before I invent the solution to global warming and other some such bollocks!
     
    Take care everyone, all the best

    New Job and organising the big 'W'

    Its been a little while since finishing working in Mayfair and I have another 2-3 weeks before I start my new job so I'm utilising the time to organise the wedding.  Its under 11 months now but I've managed to sort a lot out already, its all go go go Smile 
    It was my previous Supervisors wedding on Saturday, it was fantastic, great to see all the old crew back together and having a good time.  I only hope my big day works out just as good Open-mouthed
     
    It's been a while since I've been on here and messenger, but all is good, life is well :)
     
    I hope you are all doing good, take care everyone
