Sorry. I've been busy

I've been meaning to get back to the blog for quite a while (the best laid plans etc...)

Whoever thought that being unemployed would take up so much of my time? I've been actively job searching  with very little success at the moment. I have discovered that there are several resources to help me with CV's and covering letters, which I am making full use of.

My Nordic Waling Instructor training is going well, having recently completed my practical phase. I've been given the option of becoming a Delivery Partner, but with my limited business acumen, I'm going to check every single detail before I make a decision.

Health wise I'm doing well. I am now able to comfortably get into a 36" waist. So I can rightly feel a bit smug.

I've even had a chance to get a bit creative and faddle about with my phone

Spring will soon be sprung

Ponton Valley, A nicely hidden valley within walking distance of Grantham.

Little Ponton church 

I actually took this by accident but I quite like it

Not quite sure what the flowers are. I think they're celandine.
Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong

The end.(Or is it the beginning)

I've been finished for almost a week and already it's driving me mad. The paperwork is a nightmare! I never realised that you have to do so many interviews and fill out so many forms for a pittance.
Time to get busy again. The "Old Boy Net" should prove more effective than the internet

The Weekend looms...

Only a couple of days left before I'm finished at work. Ten years is a long time and despite all the aggravation I'm going to miss it. I've lost count of the job applications I've already sent.

This weekend I'm off for a walk. If nothing else the break will do me good.
Then maybe I should sort out some sort of routine for next week. I get the feeling I'm going to be busy filling in forms.
Enough of that for now. Let's see if I can get some nice pictures over the weekend

A little reminder

Just to remind myself why I must bounce back

Still confused

It is pretty much taken as read that as of 20th Feb I will be officially redundant. I'm spending most of my spare time trying to sort the paperwork, and that is a full time job in itself!
The online job sites seem to be for £60,000 executive jobs that have already been filled.

I have to pick myself up and get back into things, but right now if I were honest I'd prefer just to curl up in a ball and hum gently.

Time for a break and a cup of tea. Maybe I'll find something tomorrow.

AWFUL week

 This week has been a pretty bad week generally. I got my redundancy notice from work- what's that all about? Then to crown it all I hurt my back on Thursday.
After nearly three days of constant pain I went for a short walk round the block. (about two miles)
It seemed to do the trick and freed the muscles a little. Still a bit tender but no way as bad as it was.

I've got my appointment booked with Citizens advice- not that I don't trust them, more to get my house in order.
Now back to the task of job hunting...
