Believe it or not, I finally I have a job- yey me! I have always loved charity work from when I was university. So when I got offered the opportunity to be a paid fund-raiser I jumped in with both feet. I was buzzing but scared all at the same time. Let me tell you how it happened…
The day before the Royal Wedding (it was the Thursday- I remember because I knew the next Monday was a bank holiday), I was stopped by a fund-raiser trying to get direct debits from people. You know the people I’m on about- you avoid them in the street because you think you are skint and don’t want to feel guilty for not donating for charity. But I got stopped. What can I say? I don’t like ignoring people, its not nice. He went through his dialogue- me feeling bad already because here’s me just coming from the jobcentre with a bank balance of -£200, he asks me if I can donate I explain my circumstances and passes on my details to his boss. The next Wednesday- after thinking I wasn’t going to get a call, they called and offered me an interview for the next day… In LIVERPOOL, mind that’s about 40 miles away from me. But I thought “fuck it, I’ll do it!”. The next day I was packing for the training weekend 
they had offered me the job that night
The training was fun, long with a big ass bag, but it got me over the fear of approaching people. Now two weeks on- I’ve had a lot of ups and downs but I think I’m on track (also helps that now I’m +£200 ) I’m what a lot of people call a “Chugger”, I had never even heard this term until I got this job, apparently it means Charity + Mugger = Chugger, I prefer to think of it as a Charity Hugger personally, because I don’t steal, I inspire! So until I can no longer inspire myself I am going to be a Chugger!

It has been a realllly long time, I know…. 
Not to try and give excuses, BUT, a lot happened to keep me busy and away from blogging. But because so much time has past i’m going to give a quick update of things that have changed.
1. Myself and Tuna Fish are no longer friends. It is sad because I thought of her as a true friend- but when I had a fight with our other housemate she not only took her side but she also joined in. It makes me sad because although I couldn’t give a damn about the other one- Tuna Fish was someone special to me. Even now I feel regret about her- but it cannot be help and life must go on.
2. I’m no longer in university. I graduated! Yey me! The down side is now, I am looking, rather unsuccessfully, for a job. I have an idea of what I want to do now (not going to tell for now though), so until I can do that I’m looking for something to tied me over.
3. I am no longer a fatass In the last year of uni (and to be quite honest most of my uni life) I spent putting on weight. I got to about 12 stone (168 lbs) and for a 5 foot 1 inch shorty like my self, that is not good. In 3 months I have lost 2 and a half stone (35 lbs) and I’m still going until I get to 8 stone (112 lbs). I’m doing really well.
4. Some of my more loyal readers (if there are any of you left) will have noticed I changed my username. No longer Rin, but Nou. I always liked the name Rin but Nou is a shortened version of my nickname so I thought I would go with that.
Anyways, keep an eye on this space because i’m going to update frequently.
