that is so sweet PAID - unfortunately I can't afford to cheat as I would be bound to be caught out and my true maths skills would soon become apparent if I got the job LOL! I've just been trying to improve my maths by paying more attention, breaking the question down etc. Earlier today when I took an hour over 30 questions I got 25 right. Unfortunately when I try and do those same 30 questions within 30 minutes I do really badly!!! I will just have to hope they don't put as much emphasis on my maths - it isn't an important part of my job in my opinion but it is whether they agree LOL!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Hi guys how are things today? Everyone preparing for a good debt busting month end?
I had an interview today - seemed to go okay. I actually liked the interviewers - that normally helps. I did one of my tests for another job, and will do my dreaded maths test tomorrow so wish me luck! I just want to be earning again!
The sunshine is quite nice but I think I am falling into the trap of trying to be the perfect mum in terms of letting the kids have friends over - whom I then find exhausting! Had fun playing boom blox on the wii with my kids tonight tho. My DD (5) was quite upset because she came 3rd but even tho it was my first go I trounced my DS too (11) even tho he had completed 40% of the game previously. I am not normally this cruel to my kids but I am normally rubbish at games so was really pleased and perhaps got a bit carried away with the whole winning thing LOL!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Thanks apparently the interviewers from yesterday are interviewing a few people Monday so I won't find out until after that if I am thro to the next stage.
Need to do my test shortly when I am confident I am awake! Not confident yet LOL! Hopefully will know early next week whether I was good enough to get thro to the next stage - a panel interview!
Oh well hopefully my JSA will be paid today and I should get my interview expenses soon....Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
