*New Year’s Resolution? Nah, not really, but I do need to find something more regular! Invigilating has been my failsafe part-time employment for the last few years but I’ve been applying for as much as I can at the moment since realising that my trial of garden work proved too physical, even if I was determined to keep trying.

I’ll keep applying for things that are more cerebral though as Invigilating is not allowing me to be creative. I have spent the last few months fine-honing my problem-solving abilities on a domestic scale, but it is now time to address a few more: by bringing home a salary! I can do this!

And hopefully the thorn marks from my gardening last week will heal before I have to convince any potential employers!
