This has been a good week, it’s time to share the love :-). The things I love this week, are..
James getting a new job
As some of you may know, James’s current job has been a bit shaky lately, with the recession kicking in and all that. So he decided to look for a new job at Easter, and has been applying to things since then. He had a few interview offers, the third of these being last Friday at a company in Stratford – and I’m very pleased to say he got the job! The interview was at 4pm, and they offered him the job less than two hours afterwards! I’m a very proud wife right now. He’s actually really excited to be starting a new challenge, as it is something completely different to what he does now; currently he does web development, converting designs into functioning sites – the new job will be about developing an in house system. Still using the same technologies though – PHP & MySQL. Yay for James!
Twitnote going live
I’m still not over my excitement about our new site going live, I’m really proud of what James & I accomplished together. There are lots of ideas in the pipeline still about Twitnote, so no doubt you’ll be hearing about those soon! I’m finding it really useful for sending myself links & things – a lot nicer than my old method of emailing myself with a link & cluttering up my inbox. The bit.ly service is great for this because you can use the bookmarklet to shorten the link of the page you’re on, then tweet it to @twnote to share with your twitter followers and remind yourself of the link!
Building up my design portfolio
At the moment I’m working on several projects, which is great because I really want to build up my design portfolio and see if I can earn some money from my hobby (or at least break even on what I pay for my web hosting!). My current project is Pure Genius.
Roast Beef, yum
Last night I cooked Roast Beef, and it was yum – my roast potatoes were delightfully fluffy and crispy at the same time. That is all.
Yay for new books! I just got two in the post today – Going the Distance by Christina Jones, and the next Kathy Reichs that I need, Monday Mourning. I’m looking forward to reading them! It’s so nice to have a good long “to read” list and to have given away some books that I didn’t want – and all it’s cost is the postage! Read more about BookMooch in my previous post about it.
Other things that get my love this week are: the sunshine today as it’s made me feel all bouncy walking to & from work, Melton Mowbray pork pies, Cadbury Clusters, listening to Counting Crows on my iPhone,

Twitnote looks amazing, I haven’t used it yet, but I’m sure I will this weekend when I’m at college all day both days! It’s just what I’ve been waiting for as I’m forever needing to remind myself of things!
Mmm I’m totally craving a roast beef dinner now too!

Thanks – so far we’ve had some positive feedback, so we’re feeling pretty happy about it now.. I keep having ideas about how to improve it and stuff, especially the sms service part. I would have used it like mad when I was at uni – I used to carry round a little notebook but I kept losing it all the time! I never stray too far away from my iPhone though!
The roast beef was delicious, even if I do say so myself! I experimented with honey roast baby carrots ‘cos they were dirt cheap at Sainsburys, and it was yum yum yum.
