A rather frightened looking Laura donating me a pound.
What I've been up to:
During this week as you can see above i have managed to get my digital camera working, so expect some more photos of me and donors, and other blog related photography in the near future!
Also this week I have been putting my otherwise pretty useless Art and Design qualifications to good use by brain storming ideas for promoting my blog and generating more site traffic and thus more income from Advertising revenue and, hopefully, donations. I have already attempted to acquire more traffic by starting a facebook group, and adding a Digg Button however if this crazy schemes going to make me any sort of money i need to get the word out past the boarders of my home town Barry. Any ideas and suggestions you can think of feel free to leave a comment on this post! And you guys can help out by joining and inviting your buddys to the FaceBook group!

Job Hunting, Part 2. The ongoing saga:
Since handing my notice in to Iceland Frozen foods ltd. many many weeks ago, i have since roamed the damp cold streets of Barry looking for further employment. In retrospect perhaps maybe i should of found other employment before leaving my previous 'sales assistant/minimum wage slave' position in the local supermarket. Vowing never to work in a supermarket again for the sake of my own sanity has since made it extremely difficult to find work in town where Morrisions and Tesco seem to employ nearly 90% of the local population, including nearly all my friends and family.
however recently i have applied to a few places around town including Game Station and Lloyds Pharmacy, unfortunately the feedback has been far from promising:

So if any of my fellow Barryians are reading this, and know of places looking for under qualified staff willing to work for peanuts whiles constantly having to deal with disgruntled customers that seem to have large un-lubricated, possibly splintered, wooden sticks firmly lodged up there backsides, let me know.
