GOOD THING
Bast, nice to meet you :j
ANOTHER GOOD THING

I have had a verbal offer on this dream job:dance::dance::dance:
But I'm trying to stay calm until I have a contract in my hands and it could be a little while as the CEO has gone away for a bit
The money is similar to what I am on now but the prospects are really good and I can not wait to get stuck in.

GOOD THING NUMBER THREE

Going diving tomorrow :drool:

Nats I love it that I have you cheerleading for me!


BAD THING

My car broke down last night and had to be towed this morning will be £350 to repair and obviously no one can do this until Tuesday.

ONE MORE GOODTHING

My daughter who was driving the car managed to get home safely.

All things considered the outlook is good

Olderbutnotwiser

OK...... update

Car is now working beautifully- but ended up costing £444
Still not heard officially re new job
Eldest has been covering maternity leave and her job ends the end of November

Sunny day everyone healthy and if I really pull the belt in could manage this month will be very very very very tight though;)

Olderbutnotwiser

Only me- belt nearly choking me

Still not heard re my lovely new job, well I did speak to my 'hopefully' new employer yesterday and she said she is typing up the offer definitely wants me and I should hear today- but I haven't and it's getting late..... if anyone reads this can you send some vibes to her I NEED A JOB OFFER...... thanks x

Dear OBNW -

It has been more than a week since your last confession.................................

Olderbutnotwiser

Hi Nats,

I got the job!!:j
I resigned today but feel strangely sad


It's strange hey but there you go.
I'm still plodding on but really not very good at economising

I'm diving most weekends at the moment (well every tbh!) and having a great time :-)

Oh yes did I mention the raise..... or the fact that this job has great propects?

natsplatnat

Hi OBNW!!!!

Do you like my celebratory fireworks in honor of your new job?

Really chuffed for you!!!:T

Handing your resignation in is a tough one - its amazing how sentimental you suddenly feel about your job and the people that over time have really got up your nose!! lol

Diving every weekend sounds good (not for me though... have a strange phobia about not being attached to the atmosphere and therefore the air I breathe!)

You get a raise? Working on a higher floor then? lol

Glad things are working out for you - keep us posted!!!

Nats x

Olderbutnotwiser

Aw thanks Nats xxx

I have an end date Friday 1st October woo hoo!

And start new job Monday 4th I'm so happy this could be such a great move..... although I have traded in my October work trip to Texas for a work trip to Leamington Spa!!!!

The money is not a lot more at the moment an extra £100 per month but the prospects are good.... I had not had a raise in my old job for 3 years despite taking on loads more work. They also made another batch redundent in the US last week.

The diving is working well as I am down as staff at one of the local lakes and get to dive and have free airfills etc when I assist with students :beer:
I'm at a fiftieth birthday tomorrow and am currently making rocky road and meringues to take with me.... I feel sick picking at all the sugar _pale_

Hoping to make it until Celebrity juice without barffing

FREAKY!!! I was making rocky road last night too! We are having a charity coffee morning this morning at work and were all asked to contribute something! I shouldn't eat any really as on a weight-loss mission, but as its in aid of charity...................:o
