My life

Maddy found this on the internet, kind of fits!

Next Job

The original idea was to go back to the UK for Maddison to take her A levels and qualify for the student loan by having 3 years residence. We applied for a lot of jobs in the UK over the past few months and found that, although we have the experience they wanted, going to interviews was costly and disappointing. So we decided not to apply for anything else until June so we could interview when we got back. In the meantime here were a couple of jobs that looked interesting that we did apply for, one in New Zealand as we’ve always fancied going there and a couple in the UK. As chance would have it Geoff got the interviews for the UK jobs and I got the interview for the New Zealand job and after 458 hours of agonising consideration we took the New Zealand job which starts on July 29th!

At the moment we are working our way through police checks, medicals and the final form. Being here means everything is not going smoothly and causing the occasional headache, added to that I am stage manager and in charge of costumes for the school production of Hairspray which opens for 3 nights only on May 27th and the kids don’t know their lines yet!

If you want to Google my new school it is in Reporoa in the Bay of Plenty, halfway between Mount Doom (Tapua) and Hobbiton (Matamata).
