I have been on a course today and will be tomorrow. Its a Manual Handling Instructors course. Sounds riveting I know, but it gets me out of the office and I get a City & Guilds at the end of it which is nice.

Its a quite a relaxed trainng course, and to be honest I really wasnt looking forward to it at all. Theres me and one other guy doing it, so its nice because its quite personal and you get to ask millions of questions and have a bit of a laugh.

We did the whole lifting boxes properly, so I have mastered the art of that. Apart from I have somehow injured my knee. Im not quite sure what Ive done, but it really hurts! I hope its ok tomorrow so I can finish the course off.

Tomorrow though, we've got to take it in turns teaching each other and Im really not looking forward to that bit. Im trying not to worry, because Im pretty sure I'll get through it just fine.

Plus, we get to finish extra early (shhh, dont tell work!) so I get the afternoon to potter about.

I have done three courses this year, and Im hoping that it will eventually lead to me doing a H & S course, like NEBOSH. I have finally found something I like doing! :DD
