A review of 2012 so far

I haven't blogged in while, mainly due to my life becoming too complicated to get into, but now that it has finally straightened out I can talk really about what i have been up to in 2012.

Two weeks ago I started properly job hunting. It's very dull. But, iv applied for 15 jobs, had 2 preliminary interviews and only 1 rejection, which I think is quite good really. Got to keep up the looking. I'm also volunteering at Occasions Catering still, learning to be a sales woman. That's quite good fun, going to meetings and networking. I have business cards now, how cool am i? Lol. I figure the longer I'm working there, the more experience I will have, the quicker I will find a paying job.

Big News! Joni & I finally have sorted our new house! Woo hoo! I get me stuff back soon! And the cat. It's just a rental for now, since the financial sector thinks we are 'unstable' but its prefect. Can not wait to move in, its going to be so good. We move on the 17th, and housewarming is on the 24th . All my loyal readership are invited!

Last Wednesday we managed to hit our Target for going to the Broadway once a month (just) by going to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel. Went with Joni and Richard Fear (promised I would make him famous by mentioning him on the blog). This film has got some bad reviews, and I would be the first to agree it is not high art. The plot is easy and fairly predictable but it is by far one of the funniest films I have seen in a very long time. I was doing that laughing-embarrassingly-loud thing in the cinema, which i haven't done since The Hangover. An apsolutly brilliant film.

Also seen, at home, this week - Cars 2 and Attack the Block. Also both brilliantly funny films, in different ways. Attack the Block is particularly well done.

Finally, in other news, we have found out this week that our Granny is coming back to the UK. Very excited about getting to see her again, apparently Thiland isn't for her. Currently the whole family is pitching in for the very stressful task of finding a home for an 87 year old woman with nothing to her name but a suitcase full of clothes, but once that is delt with it will be great to have her back. I am sensing a trip to Kates house in New Deer coming up, as it has some of grannys stuff in it. That's if I ever get around to having a viva.....
