I drink so much coffee but it really doesn’t affect me because I feel like nodding off right now.

I can’t beleive how slow my laptop is being.  It’s really rather frustrating.

I’m trying to make jewellery.  I really don’t know if I’m any good, but I try and I hope my time and effort is worth something to someone.  Ebay is not the place to try and sell my earrings as no-one seems to bid.  Neclaces, on the other hand, seem to attract more bidder activity.  Maybe I shall try and target the necklace buying public.  I’m going to upload some pictures very soon.  I’ve been ordering beads and pretty pouches from Ebay.  Some people seem to offer a fair deal.  At the moment they are sellers or a seller from Hong Kong who is selling many units for a very low price.  It’s fair enough if people want to purchase items imported from places like China, only I feel uncomfortable when China is obviously able to set a lower proice for these items than in the UK.  I would rather buy from UK sellers thus reducing Air miles and supporting UK traders.  So, out of principle, I’d rather pay that little bit more and know that I’m supporting small business and independent sellers here where it’s difficult to make a profit.

I’m really missing my sweet, lovely man today.  I can’t speak to him every day as he’s in Spain and he’s without internet access in his current house, so I’m in a situation where I can only speak to him three or four times a week until my free minutes arrive .  I’ve spent way too much on top ups lately so I just have to put up with limited contact.  I totally trust him and love him so I don’t get too sad, but I do miss him.  I have become so patient about the situation.  I’m going to go to Spain and join him only I’m trying to establish myself a little bit financially.  Even if I could get a job in Spain I’d do it.  The TEFL course is the key and this new part-time job is going to help me save some money.

I’m tired and waffling now, but I’m going to try and blog more regularly.

A demain, mes amis!

PS Just a thought totally off the subject of my post…I’m watching a re-run of Channel 4’s The Family, and the poor father, he’s so stressy just like my dad can be sometimes, and for all the right reasons.  A good father may seem like he’s uptight but really he’s worrying about the problems of all the members of his family.  He’s stressing and uptight because he wants to protect the family financially and ensure that each child has a future and when each memeber of the famly has his/her own problem.  He’s the keystone of the family and all the burdens fall to him on occasion because things don’t always work out as planned for everyone all at the same time.  I don’t know if everyone knows what I’m talking about, but basically dads have to earn money and worry so much about the future of their offspring.  They don’t just have their own worries.  My dad has 4 people’s worries on his shoulders and it’s been worse while my mum and I have not been working and he’s had to bail me out financially several times this year with my bills thanks to drastically high rent and pitiful student loan.  I really have to pay him back so much!  So let’s be nice to dads and try not to burden them unnecessarily where we can avoid it.
