6 months.....

.....since i last had a cigarette :)
2 1/2 stone heavier :(

Things starting to look up.......?

Time for a change :(
Things haven't improved much at work,I have 1 good week then 4 short ones, struggling to earn enough to get by on, let alone save for Canada, just not getting the miles or hours so i have decided its time to move on before it gets too late to make a difference.
Sent my C.V out to a few places that have been advertising and I've had an interview with one of them today.
I think it went well, i definitely got a good vibe from it. Should find out in a couple of weeks and IF i get it should be starting before the end of March.
Fingers crossed.

As a footnote, heard from the company i had my interview with and they are waiting to hear from their head office as to how many drivers they can take on this at this time, they have said thay will let me know as soon as they find out.

Merry Xmas

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year To Everyone.

Well, we had a brilliant holiday in T'Egypt again this year, been to same place 4 years running now and it gets better each time, feels like home.

Things definately seem to have picked up over the last couple of weeks with new job, working for Elddis Transport from Consett, County Durham, but running out of the Worksop depot, tramping.
Paid a low basic wage but then money is made up by so much per KM traveled and then so much per drop/collection, so quite similar to how things are paid in Canada.
The new contract has started now so should see if the money's any good before Xmas, just got the holiday to enjoy first, might be the last chance to see the Red Sea for a while.
2 weeks of well earned rest and relaxation around the pool in Sharm el sheik and maybe a bit a scuba diving as well, can't wait! :)

Got confirmation from H&R on friday for my start date.......December 2010!
Not sure if thats good or bad?
Plenty of time to sort thngs out here before we go
Chance to do a couple of reccie's next year, preferably 1 in winter and another when its a bit warmer.
