Yes, I am cautiously optimistic. I really don’t take anything for granted any more but find myself deeply appreciative of things that are going on right now. I keep saying thank you.
This morning i met with the agency in a local cafe to sort out the multitudes of compliance you now need to work. Shiny happy people was playing and it made me smile followed by David Gray. I felt twinges of happiness tapping my feet. Haven’t felt that for a long time.
This afternoon I went to get the brief from my new boss and I have to say I felt excited for the first time in a very long time, this job is so up my street, plays to my strengths and is also a development opportunity. I realised that I had grown out,of what I used to do, I no longer want to do it and my body was telling me this in the last job. This job is similar to one where I was very happy at.
Got home and rang my mum. My sisters new flat which I am so grateful she has got is less expensive than her last and it will help her to manage an overstretched budget. I gave thanks for the answer to my prayers on her behalf. It could so easily have gone the other way as the council have no properties at all for the 20 or so tenants who have been evicted. Shocking indictment to the housing crisis in the U.K. and vow this government hve bot,supported,ordinary people’s concerns in any way. My mum said that if I was depressed there was no sign of it,now. She might be right.
Gamstop is now up and running but I had to go to support for a very simple form that kept being rejected. They said I had to manually register and they would send me an email, twice going back to support as not received the email. Hmmmmm. Not all sites are signed up but they had a list and many of the more common ones are. The rest will sign up towards the end of the year. But registration process which should be simple very difficult and I will have to back again to them tomorrow. Maximum exclusion period is 5 years, which, of course, I have opted for.
So feeling optimistic and thankful that the tide may finally be beginning to turn.
