lol. Mum's been complaining because the whole house smells of baking and none of it's for us to eat! I'm making shortbread today and am considering letting her have some for her pudding, as it proves quite quick to make and also because my plans for Mother's day present have changed. I had planned to put the shortbread in a basket and decorate the basket but now that Strange Bedfellows isn't on next week I have half a tub of soured cream still to make another chocolate and vanilla marble cake so Mum's suggested I make the Marble cake for Nanny's mother's day present. Then I think I might save the basket and use the basket & shortbread for her Easter present.
*ponders idly whilst waiting for shortbread to cook*
Of course this all depends on all my creations actually turning out okay. Lol. There have been disasters before now. I've somewhat wrapped Epic Cake up and there's naught else I can do there but leave it to time. Fears about a soggy middle so far seem to be unfounded, so finger's crossed!
Right well I suppose I best be getting on with some work! lol!

It seems a while since I grumbled about joblessness. But in a couple of weeks I will have passed the spurious joy of The Six Months Mark. This is not good. I have an idea that Bad Things happen after the Six Months Mark and it's all rather horrible and shameful and dammit why am I unemployable? I'm quick, efficient (oh, lord, am I efficient when I put my mind to it. It scares me), I'm a friendly sort of face and yet I haven't even had so much as an Interview since before Christmas. I've had quite a few messages of 'we'll keep you on file' and even one 'haha yes. Erm. We did want to hire someone, but now we has no money so erm. We'll keep you in mind for when we has money again'. but nothing particularly to speak of. I feel like I've sent a million forms out and a lot of them seem to just disappear into the ether.
Right now I've got another couple of application forms on the go but the twonks from the road which backs onto ours have taken the glimmer of sunshine as a sign to return to their usual habits that run until the height of winter which is to put really really loud annoying music on and open the window so everyone has to hear it. Why they do this, I don't know. I do know that it is deeply, deeply annoying when you're trying to concentrate.
Right. I've had my moan. I need tea.
