Things are looking up

Well things certainly are looking up. I have finalised my contract and will be working 3 days a week from Monday so I am less stressed now!. Always a good thing. Hopefullt James will be able to find a job too so I can stay working part time and so can he and we can each look after the boys while the other is working. That would be fantastic. It will probably be hard work trying to find a job for even 2 days a week at the moment though because everyone is going through hard times and companies are holding off employing people. James applied for a Paper round last week (delivering papers to houses 2 nights a week from a van, starting at 2am) and the guy who advertised the job had over 40 applicants. Imagine that, for a paper round! a couple of months ago he reckons he would have been lucky to get 2 applicants. A sign of the times unfortunately.
Anyway something will come up I am sure, it always does.
We have been having so much rain up here at the moment, I just wish I could send it down to Victoria to put out those horrible bush fires once and for all and break the drought. Goodness knows they need it more than we do at the moment. If only there was a way to do it.
Our thoughts are with all the people affected by the bush fires in Vic and the floods in Nth Qld. Isn't it amazing how much the Australian people have pulled together to help the people affected by these disasters. Australia really is the best place to live. Aussie, Aussie, Aussie.......
