Ady allegedly worked from home today. This really involves him trying to do what I would do while I attempt to do his job in return, which today was a powerpoint presentation using the sort of language I was slating a couple of days ago ;-), although in justification at least all of the audience *will* know what all the words mean in this case.
So the children pretty much amused themselves this morning and as promised I got out some air drying clay for Davies. He did make an excellent start at creating Wallace but I went out at lunchtime and when I returned things had gone slightly wrong so we’ll gloss over that and come back to it again tomorrow. 🙄 Not at all sure what they got up to this afternoon as I went off to CV lady’s flat for some training.
The training was all straightforward stuff and pretty interesting coming with the promise of lots more work in the pipeline so that was good news. She seemed pleased with my assurance that I can easily manage 20 CVs a week and sees no reason to not be providing that amount moving forward. This is very good news – 20 CVs a week would get us out of our financial mire in very quick speed 🙂 . In the course of the conversation my previous career in Recruitment Consultancy came up (I did it for about a year, about 9 years ago) and she suddenly asked if I would be interested in working in one of their offices occassionally interviewing applicants and taking their details from them to write CVs. I said that childcare allowing I most certainly would and she was quite excited about that propsect too – so that’s all good news. 🙂
I left there and phoned Ady to come and pick me up – Dad had taken me over there as parking is a nightmare where she lives in Hove – and started to walk down to the seafront and along it. I guess it was a good half an hour before Ady got to me which despite being cold and windy was actually very nice. I don’t remember the last time I got to walk at grown up pace without holding anyone’s hand or carrying heavy handbags or ensuring that no one runs into the road.
We came home and did a bit more of Ady’s work then it was time for me to go out again to the library for Book Group. I’m really glad I’ve stuck it out actually as I’m really enjoying it now. The book for next time is An Evil Cradling which looks pretty grim – anyone else read it?
So all about me today really 😉
That all sounds really rather good. Prospect of income increasing, walking at proper speed on a windy day by the sea – I can so relate to that one. Good show, you! And not a snickerdoodle or load of washing in sight, hooray!

Goodness, you are on a roll at the moment. Beats MOT mayhem anyway!

I don’t think I’ve ever paid enough attention to actually know what this cv stuff is. What do you actually do?

Phew, well that one killed muffinicity, I was starting to enjoy the recipies 😉 I’ve started an evil cradling a few times, but have never finished it yet. It is beautifully written, but I found it very hard going, and always felt guilty that I was never able to find Keenan a sympathetic character. Which is not to say I couldn’t feel terrible horror and sympathy for what happened to him, I just could never find him likeable, and that always bothered me, somehow.

I have an Evil Cradling on my bookshelf, highly recommended by my Dad but as yet unread by me.
Hooray to the cv work – sounds very useful!
