Hi Mac, good to hear about your new job. I've decided that after 17 years of dull clerical local government work, I really should be making moves to improve myself. I just feel I'm starting to stagnate, so have decided to work towards an English degree with the OU. I'm not sure exactly which degree I'll go for, but it just feels a relief to be doing something, before I seize up completely!
As for the house, you wouldn't believe how long it's taking for our Home Information Pack to come through. We were originally told two weeks - that was two months ago! I'm going to be spending the next few days harrassing the people responsible on the phone until we get results!
Thought - maybe I could become a solicitor. I can certainly move slowly enough!

Sounds familiar. I started working in my current office at 17 and have been used to being the baby. All of a sudden, the old codgers in their sixties have started to leave following a shake-up, and I realise that I've become one of the longest serving staff members! Some of the people in my department were barely born when I was a Trainee!

I'm quite happy with my lot. Haven't achieved a great deal compared to some, but I'm very happily married, I'm in an OK job and things seem to be chugging along quite nicely.
I'll be 35 in 3 months - I'll let you know if I start feeling the urge to buy an open-topped sports car and wearing my hair in a pony tail (which should be quite a challenge given that I can grow it to about a quarter of an inch if it isn't cut for 6 months!).
What tips can you give me about 35? Aren't I supposed to start wearing cowboy boots and take up line dancing?
