Little update...

Hola Dalimoos,

Well what can I say things are really speeding along at work!

After a week of Rep meetings regarding the redundancies and heavy discussion with my other half, I have decided that it is time to move on!  I have told my employers I would like to be considered for redundancy.

OMG I have shocked myself, 15 years is a long time to be in one place and it was my security blanket, but it is time to put that blanket down and venture out and see what else is there for me!  I am surprisingly calm about it all and actually pretty excited too.  It is a fresh start, a new chapter as they say.

I have definitely jumped feet first.  I haven't found a job yet but I know I am employable, I am bloody good at my job and what I do and I know that whoever employs me will benefit!  I have a few things lined up and who knows before the redundancies happen I could have a new job.  Bring it on...

I have decided that I probably will stay in the same field but if something comes along that isn't in the field I am currently in and it is a dream job then I will go for it.

It is strange how much I have actually missed writing on my blog and these last two posts have been a great release for me!

I will keep you all updated of anything that happens and I promise I will put a beauty related post up soon.

Until then my lovelies, wish me luck!


ciao for now xxx

Where am I?

Hola Dalimoos,

It's been I think a couple weeks since I have posted anything and probably that since I have really been on most social networks!

I thought I should give you an explanation as I haven't gone for good but for the moment I need to step away from the stress of trying to get posts typed, photos taken and posts uploaded!

I have quite a bit going on in my personal life at the moment but the most important thing is my job is at risk of redundancy!  

I have been at my job for 15 years and  because they are wanting to save money they are outsourcing to an external company and only keeping less than half the work force!  

You can imagine the pressure I'm under at the moment.  Trying to get a CV together after having 15 years without needing one and the sheer panic of having to do interviews - I am personally not great at selling myself.

I don't know if I want to stay in the same field or to venture into something new - am I willing to take a pay cut?! Do I even want to stay if they offer me a position as it's more stress and effectively more work even if they are outsourcing....another story!!!

With two kids, a home and a holiday to pay for (booked before they announced) I just can't think.  My anxiety is at a real high and I am battling that, my brain is like a constant fog where I am trying to be pragmatic about things and keep positive I am telling myself everyday that things happen for a reason, there is life after the current place of work and there is a silver lining and all that jazz.

So with that and other things I just can't concentrate on blogging at the moment. I do hope you all understand and I promise I will be back soon.

Until next time

ciao for now
