NOT!
My first post was in September and so much for keeping it up....Oh well 2009 is a new year and so I may as well end this one as I mean to go on
Interesting times as my hours at work were slashed to 2 days a week from January. I was offered 2.5 days but turned it down due to being financially disadvantaged by working more hours. (Go figure) I was worse off working 19hrs then I will be working 14 and on the dreaded IB!
The last few months have been a challenge to say the least and I initially was adamant that I didn't want to continue working at this place that has decimated my self confidence. However it seems money talks, and after 2 job applications and a recession that looks to continue, much to my dislike it seems I am better to hang in with the status quo.
It is my goal to be back in full time employment before the year end (2009) and other work options are afoot, so the next month off work should see me rested to tackle what lies ahead. I have never had a month off before (well since 93) and have never felt I needed that long a break - but trust me now is the time I do.
On a more positive note Enable granted me funding for a car *gasp* totally unexpected and bloody scary but nevertheless a Red Mazda Demio is all but mine. Enable must love me at the moment as tomorrow sees the trial of a new manual wheelchair as well! NEVER turn down what they offer it don't happen often.
The next big decision - whether to buy an iPhone - even at $700 I am losing the battle with myself to resist buying it. I don't think I'll ever be in a position to pay outright for it again, and it would be good
Stay tuned

Ahh! A car!!! That's awesome. Hope your trial chair is all good (mine wasn't), and that you get that i-phone.
LOL Erin my trial chair sucked! It finally turned up on xmas eve. I sat in it literally for 30 secs and it went back
