Oooh, I've had a few lkes and an email!! This is making me smile. It was a really sweet email, not at all seedy hmmm but he isn't my type and I don't fancy him. What to say to let him down gently??
No, I showed him to my sister and we were both pulling the same face and my bro-in-law was killing himself laughing, not a good sign There is no attraction at all! He's not unattractive, just not to me.
Well how about a simple "Thank you for the nice email, however I don't feel we are a good match. I wish you the best in your search for someone special in your life."
I thought I would write a quick update as I have finally come up with a potential solution to my job issues.
So, coming back from backpacking I wanted to make a real change in my job situation as I have never liked or been fulfilled by my job. I wanted to train in something and have a qualification and a transferable skill so I have made the decision to go back to uni and do a PGCE which is a teaching qualification and specialise in adult literacy and post compulsory education, so basically post 16 year olds. This would enable me to teach 16-18 year olds but also adults so for example going into prisons, working in shelters and other places that I haven't thought of yet!
It is a big decision because the course alone costs �8,500 plus living costs, but I figure that if I live at home and save up this year I can save a fair bit towards this and start the course next September, I was too late for this years in take anyway. It really feels like the right thing to do and I would be going back to my old uni which would be weird but nice too as it is a great place and I still know people there.
On the dating side, the internet dating has been disastrous. No one I have even been remotely interested in has got in touch and I am currently being stalked by a guy off a course I am doing. It is not fun! I've tried emailing a fair few but none have got back to me. I've been asked out a few times in the street lately but not by anyone I even liked the look of. Ugh! I seem to be pulling mingers, to use a British expression
I have been staying up at my sisters because she has been unwell so I have been looking after her and my nephews. I have had good nephew bonding time but I am glad to be home.
Sounds like a great plan to me and what a rewarding career. Don't fret the online dating stuff. I've done it for a couple of times off and on and most of the emails I send out don't get answered as well. I've learned to try and not take it personal and just move on to the next virtual opportunity . Sorry your sister is unwell - nothing too serious I hope!
Good for you Julia. No point in staying in a job you aren't happy in. I am working on changing that on my end. My boss just has some commitments through the end of the year and I have some vacation time I am using.

You are right ba i mustn't take it personally or give up to easily. It was reassuring to read your post. My sister is much better thanks, a urinary tract infection so anti biotics have done their job.
I have just applied for seasonal shop work to try and get some pennies together Kat, I say if you get the chance to change to something you enjoy take it. Good luck!
