Back Again.....

Its Sunday night, its 9pm, and with nothing better to do than listen to a live performance from JLS on Radio 1, I have decided that after a two month hiatus from this blog it was time to start contributing to it again.

Quite a lot has happened since my last entry.... Wayne Rooney has become a father, Nick Griffin has hopefully dug his political grave once and for all with a more than dodgy performance on Question Time, the world of F1 has a new British champion in the form of Jenson Button and two Irish twins called John and Edward have split the nations musical opinion down the middle.

There’s also been quite a lot happening with me. Two months ago I started a new job in sales, and on Tuesday of this week I handed in my notice. In the few short weeks I spent in the corporate world there were laughs, tears and lots and lots of cold calls, but ultimately I decided it wasn’t for me and so decided to call it a day. I can safely say it was probably the hardest job I’ve ever done and I have maximum respect for anyone who can carve out a career for themselves in such a tough industry, particularly in the current economic climate.

So with no job and finances dwindling I decided it was time to head back to my West Country roots and have just spent the last couple of hours unpacking my belongings from cardboard boxes into my bedroom where I spent most of my teenage years before heading off to Uni five years ago. For a long time I was very against the idea of moving back home to my home town of Frome in Somerset, which incidentally is where the aforementioned Jenson Button went to school, learnt to drive, and swiftly left to live in Monte Carlo once he had earned enough from his first season in F1.
Having seen the “bright lights” of London I was convinced I’d never move back home, it just seemed like a step backwards. But thinking logically I think I’m now in a position where I can save up some money for myself. I can also take this opportunity to hopefully get in touch with some old school and college friends which I haven’t seen in a long time. I’m also hoping to make some new friends through whatever job I end up getting, which in the immediate future is likely to be some Christmas temp work in the retail sector ( yes I know its only November, but you know you’ll only regret it if you leave it till the last weekend before the 25th!)


From a purely lazy point of view I’m also quite looking forward to having a few home cooked meals, getting some fresh country air inside my lungs as well as getting back in to watching the mighty Bath City FC on a regular basis.
So we’ll see how it all pans out, I’ll keep you posted on how it all goes and hopefully the big move will throw up some new stories for this blog which I’ve shamefully ignored over the last few weeks. Must dash, my dinners on the table........
