I am bored today, I have had enough of job searching for this week so I have decided to do something different for the rest of today so I have decided to do the following:-

• Cleaning the kitchen, well it needed some TLC so I have emptied the cupboards and cleaned them inside and out.
• Cleaned out the hall cupboard and thrown away a bunch of old crap, put the stuff I want to keep in boxes to keep them neat and tidy.
• Sorted out a couple of things to sell on eBay, auction to start over the weekend.
• Booked a hotel for the last week of my Lean Six Sigma training in Crewe, a Travelodge, but hey it's clean and cheap.

I also got a notification that Kat had put up another blog posting, it made me quite tearful when I read it, it shows how much we mean to each other. She has become so much a part of my life, I had pretty much given up on the idea of getting married or having children, then this amazing gorgeous, clever and caring person comes into my life albeit via a dating website and she does live the other side of the world. We keep it together by the use of phone calls, text messaging, e-mail, Skype and Facebook. I think that if it weren't for the fact that she is so busy with her studies that this might not be enough, I certainly find the separation difficult sometimes, especially when asked what our long term plans are. Although the plans are relatively straightforward, they are kinda hard to explain to some folk as they are contingent of several imponderables happening first such as me getting back into employment and having the necessary finances to make a new life in The Philippines, I also want to be able to work out there too, so I need to get some work oriented qualifications first, as well as some experience. With Kat being a doctor and working on being a paediatric consultant, I guess that I may well end up being a stay at home dad for a while when we have kids, so being a business improvement consultant could be a good way to make money as that can be done from home for much of the time. Also since most of the work is in the major cities we may be too far from her parents to get them to baby sit regularly. Still who said it was going to be easy or even simple, I am looking forward to a time when these are my real problems, not just dreams for the future, and the good news is that being a bit older, I may be in a better position to be a successful parent, here's hoping!!
