    BB you really need to seriously think this through...what about all the things you have been planning on doing?
    could you still do them if you did take this job?
    how would you feel if you had to have contact with Cruella?
    do you really want the job?
    can you come and make me dinner?:rotfl:

    Maybe it's just the money and a comfort blanket of familiar people that's attracting me......the culture had really changed and wasn't the great place to work it was when I started in 1999.....

    I dunno maybe I am getting old because nowhere seems to be as much fun to work as 1999!:rotfl:

    I don't think its necessarily the comfort blanket of familiar people thats attracting you - maybe its the thought of being paid what you are worth!!! Or earning what you are worth.. I am not sure I am explaining myself very well...

    Evening all, how is everyone?

    My best years in a job were 1993-2001 when I was the in house accountant for a chain of £1 shops in the north east area. Our office was above the shop we had in Durham and the gossip was always jucy.

    The pay was rubbish but I really used to look forward to coming into work everyday. It was really like working in a soap opera and the owners were like family to me.

    Never mind:rolleyes: change happens for a reason I say. And I have never passed up an opportunity no matter how scary..........the worst that can happen is it doesnt work out.
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.
