The house is suddenly full of people, where there were only three of us there are now five, and soon there is to be a sixth! It'll be interesting to see how the house dynamic changes over the next few days, maybe there finally will be a house dynamic. As long as I don't have to fight for the TV to watch America's Next Top Model it'll be fine.

Not much to report really, have filled my day with speaking to family and friends on the phone and preparing some pieces for the local paper. I hope they go down ok, mind you I'm not keeping my hopes up.

Off to knitting club tonight which will be nice, although it's in a pub and I don't know if I'm ready to look at or smell alcohol yet. Must try to not vomit on the crochet.

Sign-on day

Well, Thursday heralds my now weekly excursion to the job centre. Walking down there all I can think about is my answer to the inevitable question which takes the title of this blog: 'How is your job search going?' I could feed them the same line every time, but it feels rude and besides, trying to think of new ways of saying, 'Awful, actually, do you happen to have a length of rope and a nice strong beam I can hang myself from?' exercises my creative mind.

But today was brilliant, not just because the weather was fantastic, but because she DIDN'T ASK!! Hooray!! Instead we chatted about crochet for a bit and she sent me on my way with a big smile on my face.

Ace.
