Last year estate agency started to get rather quiet, you may have heard about it! So when I was offered a receptionist job in a medical spa I jumped at the chance. Having been interested in fashion and beauty pretty much all of my life I had a working knowledge of different treatments. I have been there 6 months now and don't regret the move at all, although the hours are longer than I anticipated!
I now travel on the Metro system to and from Newcastle and while it has its drawbacks in the middle of winter, with the frost biting and the wind howling around me; I have read a lot more books than I had had the chance to for years. I have finished books I started on holidays and bought new ones. All fiction for a change, having read a lot of health books over the years. Not because I think I know it all, I don't, it is just more fun to read a novel on the train in the morning.
I have discovered both Facebook and Twitter and have a lot of new 'friends' in the ether. I get very annoyed when the media malign them, they are what you make them.
My daughter is now at Leeds University studying French but has come home today to study for her end of year exams. And to go to see Nickelback with me next Monday. My son has also graduated and has a good job.
I think I might do this more often now!
