Cheers

Hi guys, hope all are well. I actually am having trouble remembering the last real post I made so I have a little to relate. Okay first daughter had her first Spanish club class this week and she seemed to love it. Daughter has also been enjoying sleeping in me and partners bed this past week, a bonus for her with me out working. She is getting big; and she keeps telling me and her mom that, and really she is, give her another two or three years and she may well be as tall or taller than her mother.

I finished my second week at my Boots job, I put in 28.5 hours, which I am pretty excited about. hopefully I can keep getting extra hours in like this as I am actually only contracted for 18 a week. I had another interview this past Friday, this time for a part-time weekend post at the library (Royal Holloway); the nice thing is that it would pay 11 GBP an hour, which would be awesome, the job runs for the remainder of the University terms. I think the interview process went well, the only thing that I think would keep me from getting the job would be the Boots job and the potential for overlap of hours, the overlap would not be for sure just possible. Partner said however that if I did not get this or another second job, to not worry about it at the moment as the Boots job, especially if I can continue to get the hours I am, should cover most stuff for us. She also said that she would prefer to have me available to help out around the house more, but also that if i did get the job, the money would be awesome. Personally, I now think I should hold off on a second job, at least until I can get used to this working till midnight four nights a week.

The worst thing about the job interview from my last post, is that they never contacted me back, no email, phone call or anything. That is just sad but it means it is probably for the better as it might well have been a disappointing job with that much dis-organization.

Saturday morning, daughter went to a dance class at the town social hall that is right around the corner, said she loved it, so that gives her something physical to do on weekends and it is only 3 GBP each session. Partner also purchased her and daughters plane tickets to go stateside, partner is going to a big geography conference and daughter is visiting gram and gramp. Since the trip will slightly co-incide with daughters two school break so they will get to be stateside for nearly a month... wow. Partner is concerned about me being alone for that amount of time but I have assured her I will be ok.

That is about it, Sunday partner is making her amazing Jambalya (sp?) so it will be a good day. We are experiencing some rough weather also, the weather Friday was forecasting downpours and winds up to 90mph. I do not know if the winds are 90mph, but they are blowwing good, and we managed to escape the day long rain they predicted but, it started after dark. so....

Okay, I would also like to than all readers of both my blog and my articles which now have over a thousand views so I am trucking along. Mom, I am taking some of your advice and have begun writing on some things regarding US-UK or UK centric so..


Love to all family and friends I hope this weekend finds you well and happy!!

Peace... One Love,
Chris

Glad to hear things are going well, Chris. Have you gotten the power supply for the laptop yet? Please let your dad and I know yes or no. Thanks.

Take care. Stay dry. It's in the very low 20s here!
