Day one over. My feet hurt, I feel filthy, my brain is slightly frazzled but I survived.
To be perfectly honest, I had a fantstic day. My manager is great and he made sure I wasn't overloaded with too much new information on my first day. Let's get the important things clarified: I have a massive desk with lots of new stationary, I had a whole hour off for lunch and I am now the owner of a brand new mobile phone with a blackberry and a laptop on the way. (I'm not quite sure why I have any of the last 3 items as I have a perfectly good phone and computer on my desk already!)
Unfortunately, my day culminated in a spot; not the sort that you can cover over with a strategically-placed strand of hair but the type for which you need to apply for planning permission - right there on my chin for all to see. The best thing about this sorry situation is that I have to have my photo taken tomorrow which will appear on the company intranet so my new addition will haunt me (and my fellow colleagues) for the rest of my days at HarperCollins!

It is a year to the day that we left on our 10 month around-the-world adventure. Sadly the fun has come to an end and a year of unemployment doesn't look too great on the CV. What better way to commiserate our return to the land of chavs, bad weather and (dare I say it) work than to document this new chapter of our lives in a new blog. How will we cope?

Toothpaste. Works every time on spots

Failing toothpaste...how about a hand over your chin, in a thoughtful pose?
