Its been a bit of a rollercoaster ride in the job hunting, over the past couple of weeks. For the first time ever, ive started to claim JobSeekers Allowance (£40 a week), which is weird....not too keen on being on the dole! It made me realise though, what taxes are for, and how insainly looked after we are, in our little 'nanny state'. I think i can be less grudge-ful at pating with my earnings for taxes, now that ive been on the other side of it all. I can see why people can get stuck on the dole though......
But things are looking brighter, im waiting on a job offer from The Beltane, as Assistant Chef (£7.10 an hour!), after a couple of trial shifts i did....not the perfect job but bloody good pay (seriouslt taxed at that rate though-back to last paragraph!).......and ive been offered a full time job at Project X from next monday, £5.20 an hour, but the managers are LOVELY and its really nice young staff, just have to make sure i stick away from the desserts or i might not be able to find a wetsuit to fit me next march!!
So jobs wise ive got some options, which is always good!
Other news, mums still got 'milky-moo-moo' in tum, her bumps looking huger then ever
.......everyones in good spirits but rather impatient to see him/her. Names are slow to come, but if its a boy they're thinking of Jonas........better then Freya's idea of 'Bottom'!!! 3 year old humour, got to love it!!!

Jonas! What a lovely Swedish name :) There are many Jonas's here and they're all nice, so the odds are good. Love to Sal - what a lovely picture :)
And to everyone else, bump included. xxx
