And something which I know has been a bit of a surprise to some of the lovely ladies I speak with regularly. I've applied to join HM Forces. I won't be going into massive detail about which force or the specific job on here, because provided I get in, it could be a bit tricky if it's plastered all over the web, but this is actually something I've been wanting to apply for since this time last year. I spotted a recruitment ad online last summer, and gave it some serious thought having never entertained the idea of a military career before, and realised that it offered me everything I wanted: a challenge, the chance to use my language skills and learn new languages, the motivation I need to get fit and stay fit, a life as much as a job and (yes I know it sounds corny and stupid) the chance to do something that makes a difference to the world we live in.
In short, my DREAM job. Some people have questioned why I'm taking the GDL this year if I intend to go into the Forces, but the chances are, that if (and let's not forget it's an IF) then it'll be a year from now before I begin training (at the very least) and I need something to do in that time, as much as I need a plan B. It's going to be an interesting year.
In other news, these are the nails I've been rocking (read shoving into the shredder at work and chipping to hell) this week

And now I'm off to read some more of the blog posts I've neglected to read this week, drink some Cherry and Berry fruit squash and maybe have a nibble of one of the cakes I made yesterday.
