Today has been a good day with lots of positives.

Got up this morning and went along to a local care companies recruitment day, it was really good and was offered a position on the spot, so I'm now on their relief team pool, basically means they will phone me up and offer me shifts and I can take them or not, good hourly rate so if I can get some hours in there that will be good, aiming for about 20 hours a week just now with other work going on. Was pleased to be offered a job and I know Ill enjoy it too, good they were so proactive with their recruitment and quick to offer the job.

Went into town after that and did some reading of my book, its good trying to apply the rules from it, it basically says you can turn anything you do into a money making opportunity using your skill set, so Ive been working through that, I made a list today of all my skills / assets I could put to financial use, was fun and was happy with what I wrote down.

Got home decided to do a bit of a clearout of my bedroom, Im pretty sure Ill be moving out soon so need to start moving stuff out, Im going to give a lot of clothes and things I don't need to the local charity shop, always a good thing to do. Im going to be ruthless when clearing out the flat for the new people moving in, think you have to really.

Had a nice tea then sat down to applying for more jobs, Im keen on bar work at the moment, got some interviews next week locally, never done it before but Im a friendly person so sure I could do it. There are a few bars locally looking for staff so Im sure Ill get something out of that. Im happy to let the book project run itself for now and see where it goes, and get some shift work in care / bar work to get some money in the meantime, also picking up any freelance writing projects as I go along.

Ive pretty much decided on a move to Manchester area in the next couple of weeks, Im going to move down to my grandmas house for a while to get started, I have emailed some recruitment companies I have had previous contact with to see if they know of anything. But Im happy to move and see what happens, no major rush to get a job but I will once Im there, Ive been to Manchester before its an exciting city and I can always do freelance work / projects to start off with when Im there too from my laptop, also staying with grandma will be low cost / overheads which will be good to get settled in and see where things go from there.

So overall a busy but productive day on a few fronts, just sitting writing this now. Will update tomorrow.
