New Year, New You......?

So it's been a while since I last blogged and to be fair I have done nothing since....... not exactly nothing but nothing of interest.

I still don't have a job, I spend a good 20 HOURS of the week volunteering in my local Oxfam shop and when I'm not doing that I'm looking for job, applying for jobs hearing nothing back from jobs I've applied for. It really irritates me that I've applied for about 50 since November and not heard back from a single one.....how hard is it to send a quick email saying sorry you've not been successful? Seriously you only have to type it out once and copy it into as many emails as you need!

I have however started a health kick where I go walking/jogging about 3 times a week, i even bought some fancy running leggings so I look the part although I've yet to get a decent pair of trainers (but they are next on my list.)

I have also started reading books again, at the moment I'm getting through one every 2/3 days, the only positive about that is I have an endless supply in Oxfam that I can borrow. At the moment its only chick lit books but I really do need to start reading some classics as I've never actually read any (so if you have any recommendations let me know!) The most recent one I've read that really got me sucked in was I Heart New York and its follow up I Heart Hollywood by Lindsey Kelk, for two days I completely submerged myself in the story and didn't want to put it down until i finished it. The thing that really grabbed my attention was my admiration for the character who runs off to New York and never comes back, if I could afford to do that I'd do it in a flash but then I remembered its all fiction. But it has made me want some adventure in my life, as at the moment I have no social life and hardly any actual friends where I live....I NEED A JOB somewhere out of this town where I can actually meet new people.....hopefully MALE!

It's always a sign you need to get out more when your mother suggests trying Internet Dating to try and find a man, the fact she was in hysterics at my response 'I've already tried it and it's all middle aged pervy men or foreign people who can barely write in English let alone talk it!' She'll be setting me up with guys next which I'm not too sure I like the sound of!


I'm of to enjoy my favourite Saturday night past time........snuggling up in bed reading a book and scoffing chocolate!
