    I survived the school playground in a suit. I was asked if I was due in court. I'm not convinced it was a compliment.

    Should find out early next week whether the people at HQ decide they prefer me over the other three dozen candidates. Turns out the selection to interview was based on the highest scoring applicants on the on-line test rather than anything else. Now they've met us they bother to read the application forms and go through the interview questions. It's all a bit of a lottery.

    Still at least I have the fun of the job centre to look forward to tomorrow.

    And in even better news the new oven is finally on order so I should be able to cook stuff in an oven this side of Christmas :j

    The results are in. I passed all the assessments and the interview and achieved the standards required to work for the company in question but at the end of it I don't have a job. As a consolation prize I get to fast track should another vacancy arise and providing I e-mail them I don't need to reinterview to be considered. Whoooppeeee.

    and so after what seems like an eternity, but is in reality only 3 weeks , I finally start my new job today, a job which comes with Doc Marten boots :D. In even better news I no longer have to visit the job centre on a fortnightly basis and plans are well underway for the grand opening of my Etsy shop.

    I have rediscovered my uber frugal gene, the house is well on it's way to being decluttered and redecorated and all in all I'm an awful lot happier than I have been in a very long time.
