Exciting new project at work!!!

Those of you who read my blog will know I have been working for a short time at a sperm donation website - http://www.pureadam.com/

Yesterday my boss and I were brainstorming and have come up with an exciting new project for the site. It has never been done before in the UK and we are treading new ground.

The venture is going to be big news and have lots of people talking about sperm donation - the more awareness we can create in the public the more donations will be given, and the more people who are desperate for a child will have the opportunity to try sperm donation as an option.

At PureAdam we are dedicated not only to helping make sperm donation less daunting, less expensive, and more accessible, we also know the importance of raising awareness of the issues to make more people willing to donate.

Keep checking my blog - I can't say too much about the new project until we are ready to launch it but subscribers of this blog will be the first to hear!

Am I the new face of Sperm?

6 weeks since I moved to London I think I may have found what I was looking for - a role interesting enough to justify sticking around in a house full of student boys, and which also allows me to use my creative side and media contacts. I have found a job in PR promoting an area I have never given much thought to before.

I am now the PR person for a sperm donating website bringing together those who wish to have children and donors from around the world. The site acts as an introduction service for people who wish to save time on NHS waiting lists and fees at private expensive clinics.

With the element of embarrassment or anonymity solved by connecting via the Internet, people joining the site have a chance to find like minded people and make their own private arrangements for donation.

The site appeals to many groups, gay couples, single women, couples who have had problems conceiving. There are also a number of people who are looking not only for a donation of sperm, but someone who, whilst not necessarily a partner, wishes to co parent a child they bring in to the world.

Check out the site on http://www.pureadam.com/

I'm finding the whole project hugely exciting and what is even more exciting to my celebrity obsessed mind is who is behind the venture....

Yes I am a girl who reads heat magazine and watches x factor - I don't apologise for it. And that's why I was thrilled to discover on chasing up the anonymous advert and being selected for interview, that the person behind it is in the public eye. With confidently agreements as the top priority during interview, I obviously can't reveal who it is...

My high profile employer is taking the business seriously and although they are involved on a daily basis they have a reputation to maintain and can't let the press know of this venture. That's why they were looking for someone to front the site, be the face of it as it were.

So that's why ladies and gents it now looks as though I could be described the new face of sperm. And as it happens it may be the job I have most enjoyed so far.

Moving to the big smoke

I must be mad.

Having left my job as a PA for a medical director in Birmingham I decided to follow my journalistic routes and move to the Capital in order to search out a more creative and interesting path than shorthand in medical meetings and PowerPoint presentations.

Previous jobs at newspapers and radio stations proved far more enjoyable than the somewhat dull - albeit better paid NHS work I have undertaken for the last year.

With the recession in full flow some might describe my decision as risky (or insane) but I have bitten the bullet and will see what London has to throw at me.

Options for living in London included the rather daunting prospect of finding somewhere affordable I could rent alone - which would undoubtedly be so far out of the city centre I may as well stay in Birmingham.

The other more feasible - but equally daunting option was moving in with my brother, who is living in a house in Camden my parents bought when he moved down to begin uni. They are renting out the other rooms to his friends and as much as I love my brother the prospect of living with a bunch of 18 year old students does not appeal so much to my taste these days.

However, beggars can't be choosers and neither can journalists so it's off to Camden to begin student living all over again - or at least keep my door locked and create a little respite from the madness. A respite where I can update this blog on what's happening in my life, and search out my creative dream job in the media....

Wish me luck!
