Happiness vs Security

Those of you who have been following my blog for a while will know that I’ve been looking for a new job for many months, it’s a bad time to be looking for a job though and so I haven’t had much luck.  I’ve not been out of work since I was 16, and so… Read more »

What a week…

It’s been a funny old week here – here in Yorkshire we’ve had more beautiful snow (although it’s getting a bit slippy now!) but it looks sooooo pretty!  Also I’ve been house hunting and looked at lots of horrible houses and one really nice one (hubby is making an offer today so cross your fingers). … Read more »

Yes, I look a little different!

I’ve had a little makeover – I’ve swapped themes on wordpress because my old one had column issues, this new one is perfectly happy with it’s columns and knows what to do with them! Hope you like it and that it’s not too confusing! xx
