The decade that has passed since my last post has been caused by the fact that I now have a job which makes me work 25 hours a day (or so it seems) leaving me little time to complete all my female house dutes, and even less for blogging.
Boy is being trained to help out a bit more, so hopefully blogging duties should return to normal...
Work in the Land of the Naked People was starting to get...slightly unsure, and so I took it upon myself to create a super impressive CV during one of the quieter days, and sent it off to various companies advertising positions along the Costa del Sol.
Evidently, it worked, as I had a call for an interview at a law firm less than a week later.
I clearly did okay in the interview, as they invited me back for a second, and before I knew it I was working there full time from the end of January.
Due to astronomical mortgage payments (not that I live in a castle or anything, sadly the astronomics are down to tax), bills, petrol etc etc etc I found myself unable to survive on the wages from my new job alone, and so am still working in the Land of the Naked People every weekend.
Which, at the begining, didn't bother me at all. At All! However, that was in January and February, when it was raining and cold and grey and damp and miserable and wet.
It is now the middle of June, and outside temperatures appear to be somewhere around 28ºC. All the Naked People are varying shades of pink/red/tan and I am, quite honestly, most upset at having to spend my Saturdays and some Sundays inside.
I have therefore taken it upon myself to enter every single online competition I can find (yes, my inbox is filling with spam, but when that €55 billion cheque arrives in the post, I won't be complaining) - and dedicating several minutes a day to completing online surveys (my current balance is €17,75!!).
About Me
- JJN
- I'm Jo. I used to be a 25 year old and spent my weeks working in Malaga city and my weekends at my house in Marbella. I shared my house with Snoop and Copi the dogs, 1 rat, Gizmo and Pitbull the bunnies and various fish. There was a man about the house but his status changed too often to make it official on here. Now, I'm 30 years old and spend my weeks working in the wonderful world of aeroplanes and my weekends pottering around the countryside in West Sussex. I still share my house with Snoop and Copi, and the addition of Shadow the Spaniel, Puss & Rodney the cats, and a stroppy horse named Murphy. There is an official man around the house who shares the same name as me. He is marginally better looking than me.
