Wednesday Wind up

-
I didn't get the post of Reading Champion. I did get through on The Chase and may be called to film a programme at some point this summer.I had a filthy cold last week that kept me from doing anything apart from work, sleep and sneeze and, yes, I am desperate for the holidays. Ours don't start until Thursday. That's Maundy Thursday, so as close to Easter as it could get. I'll be back with plenty to post about when I can breath.

And relax.

      Thank you! I came second to the internal candidate and my feedback was excellent, so there's hope!

      It's too close to Easter! At least we get 2 weeks off.... although David has already said he's going to be busy working the whole two weeks! AS levels, eh?

      Will do; they are very careful to say that it's a provisional acceptance subject to being cast, but at least I'm on their list!

    Sorry to hear you've been full of those nasty germs too. Hope they go very soon and you are left to enjoy the school break germ free. Such a shame about the job, but I'm crossing everything for a call back on The Chase.

      Thank you! Surprisingly, despite not getting the job the whole interview was a really positive experience. A confidence boost without the worry of leaving my present post!

    I'm sorry you didn't get the job but that just means there's something bigger and better waiting around the corner for you. I wasn't going to bother watching Poldark - I read the books years ago and though that it would be "just another period drama" - but thanks to you I decided that I would and I'm really enjoying it! xx

      I'm pleased to find another Poldarkian. My daughter (aged 13) is watching and loving it as well. But hands off Aiden.... he's mine!

    I hope that you feel better when you arrive at the holidays. Solihull (where I work) finished last Friday but many of the local schools in Worcester are continuing until tomorrow. We are facing a 13 week summer term - which feels a bit too long really. The only compensation for me is that it's going to be the last one!! Jx

      Ooh! You're on the countdown! How many days left? Are they marked on a calendar somewhere? If my contract doesn't renew I'll be on a countdown as well, but with the prospect of supply or a new job ahead of me. I won't know for certain until May.

    Sorry to hear that you did not get the job, I often think these things happen for a reason. I hope you soon feel better - I guess you are looking forward to the Easter holidays - enjoy!

      I am loving the Easter holidays. I feel better than I have all term, and relaxed. If it weren't for the money (and boy do we need the money) I'd say my natural place is to be at home......

      Thank you. With hot cross buns for breakfast and a blanket to work on, I am most definitely enjoying them so far!

My Latest Trick...

I really need to introduce you to my latest hooky love, before it gets finished and I end up not telling you the back story. Let me show you what I'm on about first; World, meet Autumn Ripple Blanket (Autumn for short). You see, I have a granny square with flowers and a black background blanket that I'm desperate to finish for my bedroom, and a list of decorative items I'd like to do for Autumn and Christmas, so I sat down last week to make an Autumn Inspirations board on Pinterest (like you do) and made this; https://www.pinterest.com/angeljem5/autumn-and-fall/ and I loved the colours and the feelings it aroused in me. Colour-wise I am a warm autumn, but very often misbehave and don't wear them (long reason; won't say now) but I do love them, and the whole Season of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness bit, so the board keeps filling up with pure autumnal inspiration. Until this one hits my eye. From The Glamorous Housewife's site . And the colours are be...

"small elements of my home that I do not detest and that I have photographed so as to eliminate all traces of dirt and detritus". I love reading all the blogs on my list. I love reading all the house books that I can lay my hands on, ripping them to pieces and sticking them into my inspiration books. I won't get into how much more time I have to actually do things around my house if I don't go on t'internet and how much more money I would have available if I didn't have this programmed need to buy buy buy ..... I admire the true homemakers, I really do. I have a hankering to have a successful business, clean house and a family who can find matching socks without looking in three different places and finally finding the match half way behind the sofa cushion where it's been for three weeks so that I have to wash it before they can wear it and they either have to wear it wet, in which case I worry about pneumonia, or start again on the quest for a pair with ...
