As you can see, I finally worked out how to add my Twitter posts (tweets?) to my blog. Not that they are that riveting, but anyway. I am such a noob, I was trying to think of a way to code it, but it turns out that Twitter just has an 'add to blog' button!
The turnaround ended up being ok. Half full on the way up, full on the way home. This flight is kind of notorious for a bit of misbehaving on the part of the pax, but they were ok this time. Jokey, and making mischief, but ok.
I bought a new rollaboard the other day. We get issued with company luggage, but have the option to purchase our own if we wish. I made do with the standard issue until now, but noticed on day trips that I needed something in between our tote bag, and our wheeled bag (which is bigger than passengers are allowed to bring on, because we do international trips)
My new one is so light! The company ones are heavy even empty, and by the time you pack even jeans, gym clothes and sneakers/trainers, it weighs a ton! let's not mention a laptop, book or any kind of company manual to study for SEP. Oh and the toiletries/makeup bag for the ladies!
So the new bag is a relief. I think I'll be trying to get away with carrying it ALL the time. Is strange how small it seems compared to the other one. I think it's onlly about 40cm tall. Wish I'd had this when I flew on the tiny planes- our tote bags would hardly fit under the seats, let alone our rollaboards! No 'buy your own' at that airline though!
The next week will see me doing a few 2 day trips and a couple of home reserves. So, need to catch up with paperwork, more SEP study and clean house!

Teensy weensy update
Ok, so the interview with the regional airline was not as scary as I had thought it would be.
It went for about 45min, and the panel consisted of three interviewers; 2 women and one man. They asked a range of questions, from the standard 'Tell us about yourself', to more company specific ones, such as 'What have you heard about recent developments within our airline?'
At first it was a bit nerve-wracking, as instead of watching one person you have to remember not to exclude the other two, even if they are not asking questions. I tried to use each of their names at least once (which I succeeded at, and even remembered their names at the end of the interview.)
A couple of times I managed to make jokes (appropriate and related to the question, of course) which they seemed to like. All in all it was very easy going. The only hitch was when one of them asked me "So tell me, what annoys you?"
Of course, this is designed to get you to spill about all of your flaws. Thank goodness, I was able to turn the question from a negative into a positive. I said the thing I that I think frustrates me the most (ha something which is not my fault hahaha) but then I added how I think I can cope with that and why it frustrates me (not a petty reason but a good, job-related one... e.g... it leads to less efficient work, can do this and that, etc etc.)
At the end they thanked me for coming, and i shook hands with them. I felt really good about the whole thing. The lady who is in charge of the flight attendants seems really nice. She wass quite younger than most I have seen but she seems very efficient and good at her job.
They said I would know by Monday if I had got through, but I hadn't heard anything. Then she called me and said that they were still working their way through the list of applicants, and I would hear from them in the next few days.
Later I got another call saying they wanted me to go for a further interview (which I had been told might happen depending on the amount of applicants)... so just waiting to get a further interview time for that... probably next week or so...
