Today is my third blog birthday, celebrations have basically consisted of a chocolate croissant and reading 'Guys and Dolls' on the bus. Both were excellent. When I started blogging I was working part time and getting desperate about the lack of full time work and how to pay the bills - which is where the name came from. Job hunting in a recession isn't a situation I recommend, as blogging is a cheap hobby it seemed like a good idea, and was - in so many more ways than I expected. Maybe it was coincidence but interviews came along at the same time and quite quickly after that a job. Whilst looking for work blogging was a distraction from care, now I have work it's a distraction from work - so really this is a thank you to anybody who has visited here over the last few years and 500 posts. Comments and interactions have all been gratefully received, they brightens up dull days and I intend to carry on enjoying it.
Congrats, that's wonderful. Many more years!
