At last! I've finally managed to secure all the necessary funding, and I'll be starting my job as 11-14s Coordinator for YFC in January. The relief! No more pestering people for money. No more long lists of phone calls to make when I'd otherwise be relaxing. And I don't think it's any exaggeration to say that getting the money together has been a miracle. How else could I possibly have managed to raise £10,000 in three months? Praise God.

So, as of January 3rd, I will be YFC's all-singing, all-dancing, all-knowing 11-14s Coordinator, available for youth events, youth leader training, weddings, christenings and bar-mitzvahs.

In other news, my temping job at Morley College finishes tomorrow. It's been OK, but it will be a relief to move on. My boredom recently led me to poke around the Channel 4 history website, where I found tests to find out how black and how gay I am. Turns out I'm actually 50% black. So there. To celebrate, I downloaded 5 A Tribe Called Quest songs from iTunes. Heavy. And I can also put an end to the years of speculation, and tell you quite categorically that I am 16% gay. Which I think came as something of a relief to my wife. Basically it means I only fancy girls, but I moisturise and do the washing up occasionally.
