The New Job

Well, having bummed around for a couple of months after finishing college and hoping against all hope that I might finally get my dream job, I have been forced into joining a work agence and have been given possibly the most boring job in the whole of retail.

I work in a post office shop in Morecambe. All I do all day evey day is sell stamps. It's DULL! But I am getting a little more working for them than I was on job seakers so I guess I shouldn't complain too much. I suppose...

But the good news is that I only seem to be working week days and I never work past 5.35 so I can still have life with the small amount of cash I am earning. Ans I come home to a fresh coffee and my dinner made for me by my wonderful Yorkie (the BF in case you are wondering, not a yorkshire terrier as he has ocasionally been mistaken for because of his name).

It's only been my third day today and it seems to be going ok. There's practically no stress involved - not like my old job in morecambe when I worked in an off licence in the roughest end of town! Now that was stress! And thr hours are better than Sainsbury's, at least I get to see day light either end of my shift!! But I hate retail. I don't care how good people tell me I am at it, as far as jobs go, it sucks.

I did have some fun at the weekend though. Yorkie's sister Rachel had her 30th birthday on sunday so we went down for the party, and we got to see the latest nephew Nickolas James, he's just four weeks old so it was the first time we've seen him. His big brother (Christopher Ward, he's only two) is a tad jealous of the new arrival taking up so much of Rachels time, but he got lots of loves and cuddles to make up for it.

Got my next few weekends all booked up too now I have some cash coming in. It was Mobsy's 37th birthday on sunday too, but coz so many peopl were away (like us) or had no money, he's having his birthday bash next weekend, I've promised to call as see Jacs down in Warrington for a weekend soon and I suppose I'll have to see my dad too now he's back from holiday. AND now I think I'll have to go to Burnley to visit mum coz I'm at work all week and John's not there to drive her over on the weekend... So that should take me to the middle of next month before I've seen every one! Good job I'm working!

Think the next few days should be quiet though. Yorkie and I might be going into town for a drink with Simon tomorrow afternoon some time, once I've finshed work, but apart from that I think I might actully have some time to chill out.

Wedding List.... (OMG)

A new kitchen.... Really! We need one! So I've been saying to people that we'll want either B&Q or Ikea vouchers... Only I can't say which yet because I haven't choosen which one I like best: B&Q Oak Shaker style: ( on froogle ) ( on their site ) Ikea: Tildaholm BECAUSE... our kitchen is REALLY badly laid out, the storage is dropping to bits, the seal round the sink is black and festering, the oven hasn't worked for YEARS (the hob and grill are ok though), the seal on one of thef ridge doors has gone too, and the floor... half tiled, half bare concret! But now I have to choose which one I like best, and get the measurements sorted out, and then get the prices for what I can have in the space we've got... PHEW!

Recipe Review: Hairy Bikers liver & bacon with onions & gravy

I need a bit of comfort food at this time of year. I really love this recipe from The Hairy Bikers:  Liver and bacon with onions and gravy  and freely admit that I have whipped this from the BBC Food website. I follow the recipe (but sometimes chuck some mushrooms in too) and split it four ways at 11 pro points per serving. It's a classic, and even my 6 year old likes liver cooked like this - the 4 & 2 year olds need a little extra ketchup to convince them. The Hairy Bikers’ traditional liver and bacon makes a simple supper packed full of flavour and bursting with vitamins and minerals Ingredients 450g/1lb lambs’  liver , sliced and fully thawed if frozen 25g/1oz  butter 2 tbsp  sunflower oil 4 tbsp  plain flour 1  onion , halved lengthways and sliced 125g/4½oz rindless streaky  bacon  rashers, each cut into 4–5 pieces 1  beef stock  cube 500ml/18fl oz  jus t-boiled water 1–2 tsp tomato  ketchup salt and freshly ground  black pepper Preparation method Rinse the liver in a cola
