Say "Hello" to Bink, the first sock monkey I made a few years ago and who currently presides by the fruit bowl making sure I'm doing the work I should be doing (of which I'm clearly not right now!). He's called Bink because when I was little if I didn't know the name of something I would either call it a Bink or a Blimp. His best friend is Captain Jack Sock Monkey who is a bit camera shy and lives upstairs.
I have serious Endoftermitis. A well known condition within the Education sector that brings on lethargy, overwhelming urge to gorge on custard creams, daydream about coming up with the perfect recipe for Coffee Creams...and anthropomorphise sock monkeys. Work is hectic and I'm getting home each night exhausted. Bring on Easter holidays.
Along the DIY project another reason for me being quiet is that I'm trying to write a killer job application for a job that would be perfect for me. I don't want to give too much away and jinx myself, but keep your fingers crossed.
I will be back soon, I promise!

i feel ya on the endoftermitis. You gave it to me!
ReplyDeleteOoo! Keeping my fingers crossed about the job!
ReplyDeleteFully emphasize with the exhaustion thing! I should really go to bed and stop working at a decent time, i.e. not 2am. I'm waiting a folder to finish backing-up, which at east has meant that I've had time to catch-up with your blog! I love reading your posts, they make me smile!
Good luck! good luck! good luck!
ReplyDeleteLove that sock monkey!
Oh and good luck!! xx

ReplyDeleteplease please please tell me how to make a sock monkey - or I might have to steal him somehow! I know how you feel - people don't believe that as a teacher you still don't get home til late. 7pm tonight for me, and I too am having building work done, so had the builder round to discuss future plans! Am knackered - only 7 days left til two weeks off tho!

ReplyDeleteHi Jules,
ReplyDeleteI'm not too sure. I graduate with a degree in English Literature so I think I may try and get a full time job with the council I'm currently working for while I try and find something fun.
With some luck I'll have my own cake shop by my late 20's ;)

Miss Natz - bring on the Easter hols!

Katie - I like the idea of a cake shop. Good luck with the job hunt.
