Post holiday....

The cat is Rory who I nearly brought home from our week in Broadstairs last week...he actually belongs next door, but they were on holiday so we were providing meals 3 times a day. At least that was the theory but the occasional breakdown in communication meant that most days 3 was the minimum number of meals he got! But he never complained and kept eating whatever ended up in his bowl...or on Saturday whichever bits of chicken fell off the work surface...

I actually really enjoyed having him around and I think Mikey did as well...which is a good thing as he who grunts in the corner has agreed that the Zerfahs family can get a pet cat! Mikey has already decided that it will also be called Rory, Mummy on the orher hand has decided we are having a girl so she feels less outnumbered! I would also prefer a long haired one who is a lap cat - I no longer have a baby to cuddle (unless I borrow Grace from next door) so I intend to become a cat lady!!!

Work still seems to be going ok. I've lasted longer than I did at South East Water and I like the team I'm working in and I am now getting the chance to really get stuck in and pretty mucj show what I can really do!! So all in all I'm feeling happy and far better than I have for years!

Next week we are hitting the next mile stone for Mikey. Playschool for him starts next Thursday.  We are going for a taster session on Wednesday so I will probably be a total wreck all afternoon as my baby is growing up far too fast...and there is nothing I can do to slow this down.

Been a tad busy...

Sorry for the silence...but I'd forgotten how tiring actually working is!!

My new job is going ok, the people are great and the system was a snap to pick up...I'm pretty sure it is the base for the system I used at Norfolkline and URS so I'm happily finding short cuts and helping out with Excel queries...Yup, it is entirely possible I'm turning into a Geek!!!

I had been thinking the work wasn't challenging. Today has changed all that! Hopefully tomorrow will let me track down members of East Kents social services so I can try to collect an overdue account of nearly £150k. It has certainly given me something to get my teeth into!!

Mikey seems to be happy to be back with Debbie...but I am being made to pay for leaving him. I'm not allowed to get him dressed in the morning, only Daddy will do. And in the  evening he much prefers Daddy's company and usually cries if we get home before him. He could run a master class on 'How to make your mother feel totally guilty'

Other than my major guilt trip life is trundling along. I think our next big thing is getting Mikey's Playschool place sorted for September. What really scares me is next September he'll start school. Although me being out of work was tough on all of us, I am glad I got to spend that time with him as I did miss some milestones before by being at work and he'll never be this small again...for some reason he seems to think he has to keep growing!!!

7/7

Today was 'B" day...I've been trying to forget this was happening but events on Independence Day changed my thinking a little! Basically, I got a job! What was even more amazing is that I was offered the job 45 minutes after the interview!  To say my gob was well and truly smacked is an understatement! What was a little harder  to get my head round is that I start tomorrow and it's 8.30 - 5.00. Mikey will probably not appreciate the early start (nor will his mother!)

This meant that Saturday evening was now a double celebration so I started to look a little kinder towards 7/7!!

To be continued...I need some sleep!!
