Well after 7 months being unemployed, I start today as a Security guard at the Potteries centre, Hanley, in Stoke on Trent!!

As i cant sleep i decided to keep polishing my boots. They rung yesterday and said could i wear steel toe capped boots, which i have from navy, which kind of spoiled my plans as id polished my shoes to a high standard. My navy boots were scraped and have craters in the leather.

Several hours later and a bit of cheating filling the holes with raw polish and melting it in with a heat gun and im kind of happy with them. Not quite glass look, like parade shoes, but good enough for now and in a few weeks the polish build up should totally fill all the dents.


My shirt and trousers have nice crisp creases in all the right places so hopefully i will be neat enough for thier expectations!!

As i will be working a split of days between the car park and the shopping areas I have to have the steel toe boots!!

Its only £7ph but its better than minimum wage and the hours im doing means i will get on average £1000 a month after tax which is very welcome!!!

Just need to keep the job pay off my bills and then start sinking money into my car in typical ford owner style
