    Haven't posted for a few days as have been feeling a bit low and money is not good at the moment. Well that mood has certainly gone!!!!!!!

    As of Friday I start MY NEW JOB! That felt so good typing that. Now feeling guilty because I won't be able to ride as much but still should be able to keep them.

    I have got a 3 month probationary period which I am also flapping about. If you hadn't guessed I do have self confidence issues and usually make jokes at my own expense to cover it.

    :TWow Lucielle - only read first post and this page! Congratulations on getting your job. I am sure you will sail through the probation! Good luck - very exciting news!:j

    You will definitely sail through the probation. But as for Saturday - how annoying. That's the problem with work, it's always interfering with real life.

    I have got DS1 off with lurgy. Dragged him up to the horses and made him muck out (will sweat it out of him). He is now wallowing in the bath. Had no electricity this morning but remembered to fill a flask before we left. Also been and taxed the car to the tune of £210.

    Feeling nervous regarding tomorrow but hopefully I will have my efficient head on and not the dumb one.

    Well done on the new job-i'm really chuffed for you. Three months probationary period is pretty standard for all new jobs so don't worry about that-you will be fine. Yay for you-it's lovely to hear about people getting jobs instead of being made redundant.
