I'm not going to beat around the bush. I tried to blog once before. It was a fail. It wasn't a big fail, it didn't last long enough but it was a fail nonetheless. I've decided to give it another go because my dear friend Aimee has a cracking blog going on, and as were both part of the early twenty something age group that can't seem to get a degree related job out there in the big wide world she advised me that keeping a blog is a great way to basically stay sane!
At the risk of being a bore, here is a little bit about me and my blogging motives....
Some people are dead set against 'New Years Resolutions', reasons given including 'why will anything change, its only a new year', 'what's the point in making one I'll only set myself up for failure' and the classic, usually favoured by the male of the species I've noticed 'Why would I try and change, I'm already perfect'.
I'm a hopeless optimist to the point where every year I average on about 10 resolutions. Every year I believe its going to be THE year I change my life completely, its going to be 'MY year', I'm 'gunna OWN it' and other such corny emotive sayings and quotes I've been brainwashed with via Twitter and Instagram.
This year, having handed in my notice at my nice-but-not-for-me job that I'd been plodding along in for the last two years, in my kinda-nice-if-you-like-to-behind-the-rest-of-the-county-by-about-three-years-but-not-for-me-home-town, I was all ready to start my new job, my much better paid job that I was sure would be my ticket out of town once I'd raised the money. Not long after 2014 started I found out that the company had changed there mind and had a freeze on recruitment, they might change their mind in October. Oh. I passed my interview last July, so this had been part of my master plan for a very long time. Sugar.
I wont name and shame the company, I'm no dumb chicken so I know nothing should go on the internet that you wouldn't want people reading, but it was more of a means to an end than my dream career, so I have come to the conclusion that it was the absolute best thing that could've possibly happened!
I'm about to give notice at my beautiful flat that I share with beautiful people (sniff) to move in with my Nanna, while looking for a job in Leeds and saving to move there. Its going to be tough on many levels, for a start resolution No. 1 is to loose a stone, and my Nanna Shezza, well, she's a delight, but she's a feeder. Say no to a chocolate biscuit one too many times and she starts 'tut-tut-tutting' her disapproval while grumbling that 'you need some meat on your bones'. Its going to be the biggest test of my will power, possibly EVER!
Well, that's just about set the scene, in my next blog, I will list my resolutions in the hope that sharing them will motivate me to keep them! And once I have the hang of this blogging fan-dango I'll share what you can be expecting from the little voice in my brain from here on in!
Tarra for now! ;-)
P.s. I just realized I actually did beat around the bush didn't I? Sorry about that...
