Good Girl who...?

Why....Hello there....Remember me?

Many things have happened since my last desperate post. I have just read it back to remind myself how much I had told and where I had to start off from....Wow....Things were murky!
It's always nice to see just how things DO get better when you feel like you're at your lowest ebb. I certainly did then, even though I knew they would get better. At the time however I mistook my optimism for just refusing to face up to how bad things were getting. Now I think that I just knew that things would be ok....I was right!

My bike sold....Got more than I paid for it in the first place which is ALWAYS a good thing! The money from the sale came just at the right time as I still wasn't working daily. When I got the cash I put the bulk of it in the bank and put enough in to pay my monthly bills for a while. Then I went out and got Christmas presents for people.
Between the bike money and the megre wage I was receiving, I was getting by financially. My rugby captain had let me stay in her flat for a few weeks, she was so lovely!
In my last post I mentioned the friend who had a spare room and was going to speak to his son about my moving in as the lodger. Well he spoke to him and on New Years Day, with a slight hang over, I moved in! I'll get to that bit in a sec...

Christmas came and went. It was fairly uneventful; just the way I like it. I woke up Christmas morning in my mates flat, took the dog for a wee, then went for a run....I LOVED it! It was raining, but the town was so quiet. I stuck the Ipod on and just went for it...Received a few odd looks from people, probably wondering what the Hell I was doing running in the rain on a day especially reserved for vegging out, but It was somewhat liberating. After that I had a shower then spent the day at my sisters. Christmas for me nowadays is primarily about my two nephews. One is 2 and the other is almost a year old. I managed to get through a whole book whilst I was there too....Perfect day! lol

New Years was the general generic p**s up, with the house move the next day.

Good Girl, Getting Worse...Welcome to Hertfordshire!

As I said above Mr L (New name for Landlord), spoke to his son and it was agreed that I could move in. I've been here ever since and things are going ok. I am still not working as much as I'd like to. The last thing I think I had said on the work front was that I was driving lorries with an agency so that as soon as the Police decided to let me in, I could go straight over.

AT LAST....Things are coming together! After much perseverence I finally got myself a start date!!!

17th March.....Vetting pending, I will be starting my new job!

I'm a bit worried about the vetting, I've never done anything wrong, but until I get that final offer I'm not relaxing one little bit!

So things are on the up.....I'm very excited about the Police, but I will write about that in a different blog. I'll also write more about the new place as that isn't as straight forward as you'd think..lol..This blog however is long enough!

Speak soon!
