Graduation

I graduated (again) on Saturday and it was amazing - I am now Jenny Thompson BSc, PGCE, MSc... there will probably never be PhD as unless I can find a funded one I just don't think I want to put myself through the pain lol. We had so many photos taken as we were the first MSc students to graduate from the college and we had to add our thoughts and quotes to a press release for the college. I am getting free advertisement for my business so I didn't really mind writing a few nice things lol.

I managed to get the job at ASDA so at least for a few weeks I am going to have lots of money coming in. I have an induction at the end of the week and then I should be good to go :D I cannot wait to get paid and put some money back in my bank account again!

I am reading The Murder at Styles (1st Agatha Christie book) at the moment, very apt as the last Poirot was on the TV the other night. I have been naughty and getting all my books from the library so I am no nearer to my target of 20 books, but on the plus side I have not really bought any (excepting the three that fell into my bag at the charity shop).

All the chocolate is gone from the house so I am trying to focus on loosing some weight. It is 6 months to the wedding and I really need to loose about 4st before then so I am going to be pushing it. I have been meaning to loose weight for about 7 years but it has never happened. I finally feel ready though...

Oh and I made my first pairs of earrings yesterday (something I have been wanting to do for about 9 years). They turned out quite well, I will have to remember to take a photo of them tomorrow. My friend has also told me she will help me learn quilting (though I think that will have to wait until after the wedding!)

We also went for afternoon tea with the OH's mother which was lovely and we have said we will have to do it again, maybe in February which I think is the worst and most depressing month. November isn't too bad and December has Christmas to liven it up. January is when I accept that it is winter but by February I am just bored of it all lol.
