Countdown Begins!!

Well, having just had my 49th birthday it suddenly occurred that the next one is the big 5-0!  I am way too young be be turning 50 so have decided on a definite makeover. I have a stone to lose in weight so have already started with that. The other biggy over the next year will be a new job/career. I like my job but after almost three years in it I am ready for a change. I would like something that I can put my 49 years of experience into and those experiences have been really varied!
I have lived in four countries, umpteen houses, lived in a caravan,  had loads of different jobs. Have had two children, one I haven't seen in 7 years and miss like crazy so a plan has to be made there. The other is doing pretty well despite his autism but its ongoing. A definite learning curve there!
Am sick of having not enough money to do what we want so need to earn more.
There are charities I want to be more active in supporting as well.
I have already started getting more opinionated as far as politics go and will now argue the point on things I don't like or agree with. If someone can prove I am wrong, thats OK. But, I will give it a go.
Have lots of research to do and decisions to make on the work front. All I know is that this time next year I want life to have improved in all aspects.
Well best get on with it.... will be filing a running commentary on this blog. Hopefully I won't bore anyone!

What did you Want to be when you Grew Up?

What did you want to be when you grew up? Looking at what I now want to do career wise it made me remember what I said I wanted to be when I was a kid. From my first flight on a plane at the age of three I want to be an Air Hostess, as it was back then. It then changed to Stewardess and then Flight Attendant. I used to line my teddies and dolls up in overturned stools and practise wiggling up and down the "aisle" with a tea tray in my hands and my red rose patterned plastic coffee and tea sets, forcing pretend beverages on the unsuspecting cuddlies! I continued with that idea all the way through school having decided being a vet wasn't an option since putting animals down was beyond my emotional realm. I tried hard at French in school knowing that I would need a second language, and worked on other subjects knowing I would need a few "O" levels. I left school having decided that "A" levels weren't for me and returned to Malawi where after being ho...

A Review of "Death Sentence" by Sheryl Browne

Image
Death Sentence  by  Sheryl Browne I have been a fan of Sheryl Browne for quite a while and have really enjoyed her romance novels.  This book was a gritty step in another direction and had me terrified and mesmerized at the same time. Well researched, it tells the story of love, retribution and revenge. Matthew  Adams, a Detective Inspector believes his child died at the hands of his previous childhood bully turned pimp and prostitute killer. Patrick Sullivan, aforementioned pimp and killer blames Matthew for the death of his brother in a drug raid gone wrong.  Both men have scores to settle and Sullivan uses Matthew's wife to exact his revenge.   As is the norm for Sheryl Browne, her main characters are embroiled in much complication and votility and other personalities emerge to further develop the story line and add to the emotional content. Poor Matthew has to fight to right the wrongs committed by Sullivan while trying...

A Review of "Resolutions" by Teri Riggs

"Resolutions" – by Teri Riggs Not for the faint hearted, "Resolutions" is a gritty and dramatic story about the IDEA’s battle with a Colombian drug lord and his cronies who have decided to take their usual cocaine business in a new direction – International Terrorism.
