After a six week spell of unemployment since being made redundant I am pleased to report that I will be starting a new job next week. I will be working back at Gatwick (can't imagine working anywhere else after 27 years there) but in a different field. I was so pleased to learn that I had been successful for this position as there were no less than five interview stages and I really felt as if I'd earned it.
I applied for two jobs before I was laid off and I was lucky enough to be offered both of them, not bad for an old bird! I do feel exceptionally fortunate considering that there are 2.69 million unemployed in this country.
So bearing in mind that I will be on a training course for the next few weeks I got some crafting in today. I'm not mad about this card, I looked through all my stamps hoping one would jump out and grab me, but none did so I settled for a set I'd not used for a while. It didn't turn out exactly as I'd hoped but I really couldn't be arsed to do it again. Mojo is missing.
I'm entering three challenges this week.
Less is More - Sketch
Simply Stampin' - Colour challenge
Challenge up your Life - "THANKS"
The colours I used aren't SU and therefore differ slightly from those in the graphic and also I had to use my flash which has not given a correct colour representation. The blue I used is more petrol blue, all stamps are SU,(now retired I think) and the panel is positioned with sticky fixers although this does not show in my snap.
I've had a busy old week getting lots of jobs completed before I'm back to the grind but had a fab night out at the local theatre where I saw That'll Be The Day. I didn't really know what to expect as Dad booked it but the performers were excellent and as most of the music was 50's/60's/70's it was right up my street.
I gather from the weather forecasters that they are expecting arctic conditions here soon, it was certainly parky enough when I ventured down the tip earlier. Not cold enough though to prevent Galanthus Nivalis from popping their heads up in my garden.
Thanks to everyone for their comments on my last post, I really enjoy reading them all. Off now to make a plum crumble.
bfn,
