    OH MY GOD!!!!!

    Just got "the call" - said that they can offer me a position STARTING MONDAY at the jobcentre which is literally a 5 minute walk frm me!!!!! Fantastic news. She said that all my refs have been checked, but that they hadnt done my DS form yet so its pending that but obviously i know that will all be fine. She said if it isnt, then my contract will be terminated.

    Im SO pleased!!! They also said that id be sent on a training course in Slough and would that be a problem - I said no because my partner lives in Slough (hes trying to move down here but we were waiting for me to get my job offer) and it would mean seeing him for a week.
    God im pleased! good luck everyone, hope you all hear soon!!! xx:)

    Oh congratulations my sweet. I had my interview a week after yours and it seems all my checks are done so i'm just waiting for that call.
    I'm really pleased for you. Hopefully not too long for the rest of us :D

    Thank you! Its such a relief after 5 months of not working. Im pretty sure you will hear very soon - sounds like they are just offering places now whilst the checks are ongoing so that they dont fall so much behind. Fingers crossed you hear soon! x:D
