      It's a nanny job in the perfect location so I am only 15 minutes on the train from all my friends, in the countryside, but also with London transport. I get to live in a £1mil house with all my bills and food paid for, and getting a wage. And I get half the week, weekends, and evenings free! Oh...and the kids are adorable...

      Thanks...unfortunately it is so good that something absolutely horrendous will now have to happen to balance it out...I am Becker, that's how my life works...

      I think the same way...just hope it's something you'll survive and move on quickly from...like a bad haircut.

   Great news, SiuilRuin. Sounds like a fairy tale. That must be a load of worry off your mind.

      definitely...I was panicking about finding a job and somewhere to live next month and now its all sorted! And I get enough time to myself to be able to write my novel without worrying about the rent.

      It would be a human rights violation if not.

      Exactly...I think it's against the law not to have broadband, isn't it?

      It was on the news the other day actually that it is an amenity that should be available to everyone, I kid you not.

      I'll be subscribing to your "nanny" blog
      Gob knows I've had tonnes of nannying experience myself.

      You bet it is. Those ladies coming from other countries to the UK to become nannys will need a blog like that to subscribe to.
      
      Granted there are the kind that are all about immigration rules and that kind of stuff, but I'll bet there's a niche for a local nanny like you to share her adventures, nannying tips, and advice on a myriad of related issues.

      Consistency in url - blog title - tagline - keywords = branding.
      
      Never share any of the foregoing especially domain or subdomain name ideas online in advance, so they don't get snapped up by domain squatters.

   Mega-congrats! Sounds excellent. I'm still working to get re-enrolled into the military, but it's taking a long time, as they have to dig up all my old records first.
   
   On the good news part, there is a family friend in the Headquarters that is helping speed up things though! I was scheduled to re-do my Aptitude Testing and he got it moved up 2 weeks.
   
   So, that's all good.
   
   Congrats again!
