And that's the end of that chapter...

OK, am slightly annoyed. I knew that the Trust was facing some financial shortfalls, but didn't realise until yesterday quite how bad. I am at risk of being made redundant, and by the conversation I had with my boss today I can take it that I won't have a job at the end of the financial year.

I mean, I was looking anyway as I am getting very bored, but at least I had the security of a permanent job at a good rate. It has somewhat forced my hand.

I am a bit gratified that my boss is suitably pissed off - that goddamned useless fundraising team - they haven't done anything, and what with illness and bereavement they just haven't been able to do their jobs.

So back to the job hunt...

Back to normality

This year was a fairly typical festive season - Xmas dinner was Spanish-themed this year (Tapas and paella - yum!), with New Year being spent at my second home, St Cuthberts in Devizes!

I did have time to meet up with various friends, including some PGL ones on a trip to Portsmouth, which was great fun. I must make a greater effort to keep in touch with them all.

My birthday last weekend was brilliant - cannot believe that I am now a quarter of a century old, but at least I celebrated it in 'style' - a night out in Salisbury wearing our flashing cowboy hats from the Christmas party, which went down a storm! The Cha-Cha Slide even featured to make the perfect evening!

Things to look forward to in 2008:

Tanzania in June - yey!
The Goodwood revival in September
Planning for next year's trip with Hayley to Oz and hopefully NZ

And now a whole year stretches forth before me, and the world of planning has gone a bit quiet. Who knows that will happen!
