Time for a challenge?

I'm currently feeling like I need a challenge and I've spent the best part of the last few days debating whether to start my own business. It would have to be something that I could do around my current job, and definitely would have to be something I enjoy. If it becomes vaguely successful, then maybe I'll do it full time.

My first idea was about becoming a VA (Virtual Assistant). Virtual Assistance is a bit like temping doing secretarial/admin-type work, but never going into my client's premises. My home would be my work place, the client would only pay me for the work that I did, and they would never meet me...hence the 'virtual' bit. But that idea bit the dust when I remembered that I am a secretary and an office manager, and quite frankly I hate my job.

I'm not saying it's beneath me, but sometimes I feel I can be and do so much more than be chained to a photocopier for hours on end, type until my hands want to drop off, be moaned at because the office is too cold or have people blame me for their mistakes and take credit for my work.

So anyway, my business idea is to...ok, I'm still researching lol

But watch this space!

Ash on the lines

Surprised to see that Southeastern Trains didn't start using an emergency timetable due to the copious amounts of Icelandic Volanic Ash in the atmosphere...

Oh and this is why I love the Scots


I'm baaaaaack

Apologies to all my followers...ok...my one and only follower.

I would like to say the only reason I haven't posted anything lately is that I've been so busy, that I haven't had time. Truth is, while a lot has been going on, I haven't really been busy...I've been tired.

In a nut shell, the Prozac has been having to work overtime lately. While I've been doing my positivity thing, my mind still wants to remind me every now and then that it's quite delicate and will occasionally bring me back to earth with a horrible thud. It's beyond my control and my medication is up for review with my GP...hmmm...why do I think they may up my dosage??

Oh and not helping was the possibility of me having a mass on my kidney (recently given the all-clear *phew*).

Any, rambling, but I'll promise to try to be more on form in future. And not quite so sleepy.
