I haven't blogged for while, George had an interview with a company and we were very patiently waiting for news. They have come back to us now saying they are being cautious in the current climate and will be in touch in the new year!! so the wait goes on, or maybe not!!! We were disheartened but have now moved on.

I have thrown myself into my volunteer work and as our current Rainbow leader is off around the world, have found myself running the full show whilst shes away. It good fun but very busy and the night flies past so quick, we have 17 rainbows aged between 5 and 7 yrs they then leave us to go to Brownies.

My other volunteer project at the moment is fostering and home checking work for the local Cat Protection unit which I am totally loving! its very hard not to get attached but with Canada in site the cost of shipping animals is such that our current 4 pooches is enough to keep me from wanting any more!!! This week Jess and Shadow left us for a lovely home nearby in Maryport to a very nice lady in a very big house, and its when you see them go somewhere good that makes it worth while though saying goodbye was very hard. I quickly recruited two more tiny kittens to keep me occupied and they are soooo cute! They will need alot of care as they have never been outside their cage and are very timid, so this project will be good for me and them.

I have also applied for a job with a view to returning to work now Thomas is in nursery, it will take a little adjustment for everyone but the money will come in very handy and it will give me a chance to have some adult conversation. My current job dog walking is great and good exercise but is very dependent on bookings and can change from week to week. If the interview does not go well next week I think I will advertise the dog walking more and try to get some more customers.
