I’m going to re-instate pbase as my “home”, mainly because I find it hard to know if I’m talking to anyone on blogspot……I can’t seem to make the diagnostic tools work and pbase is like an old slipper – you just slip it on and it fits (albeit a bit smelly and tatty sometimes if you get what I mean).

The time has come for me to pick up my camera again and although I could say what I wanted to say on blogspot, I found myself less excited about saying it because I didn’t do photos!

So, I’m not promising a PAD or even a completely regular thing, let’s just see how it goes.

To fill in the gaps you could start with this or you could just take this potted history:

In November 2007, I had a nervous breakdown. I didn’t work for a year and now I find myself jobless in a time when the economic situation is as bad as it’s been for ages and ages. Good timing huh? I can see myself looking like a great “bet” for a potential employer – a 48-year-old woman, with no qualifications, a recent history of mental illness and a poor (!) sick record over the last year. Would you take me on? I’m not sure I would!

It’s not as though I don’t have a plan, of sorts – that will unfold over the coming months. For now, I just have to find myself something to pay the bills and to ease me back into working and dealing with people in the daily bump and grind of life. I’ve applied for several things and (probably because of the aforementioned shit track record) and not even been graced with an interview in which to show how well I now am and to demonstrate my scintillating personality and fabulous work ethic (well, all of those things are what I’ll be trying to demonstrate, how well I’ll do remains to be seen).

Until now, I’ve been doing my best to nail jelly to the wall so now it’s just different jelly and a different wall. For my next trick, I’m just going to keep on applying, while restarting my photography and fitting two kitchens (for no pay).

Let that jelly roll……
