Not sure where to begin!

I can't believe it is almost the end of August and I've only managed one other post this month - I think I will just have to accept that I can't post as often as I would like.

The new job is still going well, although I feel in a constant muddle as their processes and procedures are not as well defined as I have been used to. It does mean that I have to do more 'Old School HR' which is great but I sometimes feel like I am flying without a safety net which is a bit scary!!

The girls I work with are great but I hadn't told them about Bertie - I didn't feel the need or inclination to do so. Would you believe, it made his presence well and truly felt at lunchtime when he rejected the cheese roll I tried to eat. I was totally mortified and obviously had to explain to the three shocked girls sitting with me. It was entirely my own fault as I'd been getting rather complacent about eating. So much for keeping him quiet!!

Feet haven't touched the ground lately!

This will be a short post as I am trying to type whilst my other half is in the kitchen and I don't want to draw attention to myself - he is very nosey!!!

The new job is going very well, it was a great move. The commute is just 20 minutes each way. The atmosphere is very relaxed, its dress down on Fridays with a 4pm finish - bliss!!

The main problem is a very cheap canteen so I am eating more - must try to control that!

We are off to my parents later, it was my Dad's 70th birthday yesterday and they are having a BBQ tonight to celebrate - might be an indoor BBQ as the weather is not being kind!

Hopefully, we are going via the travel agents and booking a week away in September, I'm desperate for a break and some sunshine!!

I will post again when I can, I just don't seem to get much time to myself on an evening anymore!!
