Kat gets a job

I have loads of blog blabbing to catch up on due to a full week of many new and exciting projects. I thought I'd start with the first which probably will have the biggest impact over the next few months. I have been looking for work for a while now, exploring various care jobs and the like. It was all very disconcerting with repeat issues like the lack of an NVQ (you didn't need one when I last worked in this sector). Then an opportunity arose out of the blue, Alpha male and his brother decided to open a Christmas shop to get rid of their old stock of fragrance products. Its only until Christmas Eve but it means I can work there and experience my local town from a new perspective. I shall no doubt be smuggling lots of Katryoshka goodies in there too for the hard sell!! I have to confess that I am a bit nervous about working again as its been a while but its about time I got over all of that and the opportunity will help me consider life after children once Quin starts school next year. I shall be making a stop-motion video of the creation of 'Frankincense and More Christmas Store' (Alpha Male's name idea and boy, is he proud of it). I shall also use it as an opportunity to kick start my winter make-over, vintage Heidi meets Mrs Claus!! Kat x
