as a 32 year old...

So there are changes in the air. Quite fitting that it happens as another year goes by...

Here they are in no particular order:

We are in the process of looking to buy a new car. The weekend before last, my car broke down - the gear box decided it had had enough - (after we had applied to live in the beautiful townhouse I had found on gumtree and didn't get it) which meant that the money which would of been used for the deposit was used instead to get the car fixed and settle up some debt so we could then free up some money to hopefully buy a new car. I am quite excited about that as in all my 32 years I have owned two cars, but both been second hand.My first one was a gorgeous blue beetle which was aptly named 'Blue Steel' and my second is the Uno which I am currently driving. BUT, because I have never been in a position to buy a new car, I have no idea what to look for. I mean, I have cars which I like the look of and wouldn't mind driving but its all dependent on costs and if it will cost fortunes in parts when it needs replacements. So, if any of you have any suggestions, they really wouldn't go amiss.

The next thing I have done, is to leave the place where I was working part time. I have been feeling unhappy and rather uninspired with the set up, so this morning, after much pondering and weighing up the pros and cons, I told the lady that I have been working with, that it is time for me to part ways. I am taking a huge leap of faith because technically I don't have anything lined up yet. I am in the process of possibly having something, pretty much on my doorstep, which would make life a whole lot easier, but nothing has been finalised yet. So, if you fancy holding some fingers and toes again, that it all works out, please do!

My Pilate's course has been going well, I did the first half of my practical assessment two weeks ago and passed it, and now have the second half coming up in the second week of March. I am aiming to be better prepared and know my stuff before then. Then its on to the supervised teaching which I am pretty nervous about. ( I am also enjoying noticing the effects of going to Pilate's 3x a week in my body, awesome stuff!)

We are still looking for somewhere to live, but I have complete faith that when the time is right, it will be there and all will fall smoothly into place.

Bean is now going to school 3x a week and she seems to be loving it! I am so pleased that she has settled in and having fun. Loving her teacher- she is fabulous! and all the art work, singing and playing is doing her the world of good. In March it will be her second birthday, I really cant believe how the time flies.

And the last thing, is that I have booked a session with a physcologist. Not for any particular reason, but more so just to speak to someone who is not actively involved in my life. Who can be objective and maybe allow me to see things from a different perspective which I hadn't before. Allowing decision making skills to grow. So, we shall see how it goes. The only time I have ever been to 'see' anyone, was when I had Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after being mugged on the train. Which was years ago. Feeling rather nervous for some reason. Maybe its because I have to speak....

Change is good, yes?!
