It's been fascinating hearing about everyones lives - thanks for sharing.

Time for a quick update...

I was offered the 'career' type job on Tuesday, which comes with a 40 mile train ride each way, and would have been a great job - except for the journey. So after a few days mulling it over I decided to take the plunge ... and turned it down!

This is definetly the right decision - when the agent phoned up and told me they were offering it, right after I put the phone down instead of leaping round the room full of excitement,I just felt down instead. So I decided to go with my gut instinct as I've discovered over time, 9 times out of 10 it's proved to be the right decision. I just need to learn to trust it more.

I can't believe I feel so happy at turning a job down - it means I've finally taken the plunge in following what I want to do instead of what I feel I ought to do, and it feels very liberating.

For the furture - there's a few potential jobs in the pipeline that are in my town, but now I've finally made a decision, instead of going round in circles it feels great. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Watch this space!
