Anyone else get out of the shower and as they are getting dressed do approximately 30 seconds of jumping about/raving and consider that a good exercise for the start of the day? I mean if those vibrating plates, that are constantly advertised on the shopping channels early in the morning, work-surely jiggling and wiggling works? … Continue reading Cooler in my head

Getting a job
What an absolute nightmare... Firstly there's the finding one-scrolling job adverts is possibly the most depressing thing and akin to grazing your knee at the beginning of a winter hockey lesson outside and then having to keep going for a whole hour whilst the shin pad rides up on your frozen legs and presses on … Continue reading Getting a job
On the fringe thoughts’
So this blog is dedicated to my fringe, which is non-conformist and seems to BE not at all affected by any current trends or fashion. Instead it is on a quest to live a life that epitomises freestylin'. Here is what I imagine it is thinking... Me: I am going to take some time this … Continue reading On the fringe thoughts’

Things to not do in an interview…
I would say I am a fairly confident, positive person that can talk the hind legs off a donkey...and yet in interviews I can be weird, very weird (actually maybe not just interviews now I think about it...) I manage to attract some 'special situations' around me as well as say some stupid things. For … Continue reading Things to not do in an interview…
