In all my years of judging, I have never heard before, Of someone more deserving, The full penalty of law

It’s no secret that I don’t want to do Jury Service. Not because I of what it is but because it couldn’t come at a worse possible time. It could set me back a couple of months, it’s going to cause me serious money problems (hopefully only temporary problems though), it means two weeks away [...]

Resting our head on the sea bed

Another month has passed and it truly has been a wonderful one. I’ve now moved out of Martin’s place and have been renting a room for a whole month now. I love where I am. In a perfect world I would be closer to the sea but I’m only a short walk from there now [...]

Happy we’ll be beyond the sea and never again I’ll go sailin’

It’s been a month since my last entry so I suppose it’s time for an update.
Most of my time has been filled with home hunting and working.
The very good news is that I have now found a place to live and I move in the early part of next week! From what I’ve gathered so [...]

Now I’ve been happy lately thinking about the good things to come, And I believe it could be something good has begun

For the past week I have been staying with the wonderful Martin in Brighton. My time there was spent walking the streets with a wad of CVs and applying for any job that I’m qualified for. I walked so much that I have a large blister on the ball of my foot! It was completely [...]

Leaves are fallin’ all around, time I was on my way

Today I finally received my P45 and on Tuesday I receive my redundancy pay. Two less things for me to bitch about I suppose! Haha.
The most frustrating thing is that with the money I’ve been religiously saving recently I have enough money for a flat deposit AND two months rent. I just don’t have the [...]

I’m a lengthy monologue, I’m livin’ like a dog, I’m bored

I have come to the conclusion that I am thoroughly bored of the internet at the moment so I’ve decided to take a bit of a break from it. I have my iPhone so I will still be accessing the internet when it’s necessary but I’m just bored of sitting online and not doing anything [...]

The day the mermaid pretended to be human…

Today I have been playing around with camouflage make up. It took a bit of practise to perfect but once I knew what I was doing it was amazing (and scary) to watch my tattoos disappear in front of my eyes.
Combine the make up with retainers and you have a fully employable Kirsty.

When your moon is fake and your mermaids cry

So, I’m still job hunting. I admit that, at first, I didn’t dedicate as much time to applying for jobs as I should have been. My reason for this was that I was waiting to hear back from the job I wanted the most. Just before the beginning of the Bank Holiday [...]

Finished Fins

It has been nearly two months since my appointment where my fins were completed but I have now, finally, got round to getting pictures of my finished fins!
All the progress and waiting have been worth while. It also means that I can solely concentrate on the fish elements of my leg project. Next to come [...]

Gotta make a move to a town that’s right for me…

Yesterday I received the news that I have been made redundant. It is a shame because I did like my job there but I understand that they would only have taken this action if they had absolutely no other choice.
They’ve been fantastic. Yesterday, officially, was when I get my months notice but they are not [...]
