A quick update

Life is very hectic right now, mainly due to work. I found out earlier this week that I'm going to be made redundant as the HR teams in all the stores across the company are being restructured. There is going to be a tiny amount of HR admin hours in each store (13 in my main store), which I just can't survive on. Most duties are going to be covered by the managers and by head office. My kind employers have timed it well, if all goes to timescale, I will be made redundant the week before Christmas. Nevertheless, I am going to enjoy Christmas and look forward to a new job somewhere in the new year. As you may recall, I was looking for a new job not so long ago, so already have my CV prepared and am registered with a couple of agencies, I just need to look in earnest now.

A little more progress on The Guardian to share also:

He's coming along slowly, but I'm still really enjoying stitching this one! Have a great week everyone :o)
