Lets face it, you'll not have been using them as reference anyway and fingers crossed once your in with DWP, you wont be going anywhere else for some time (altho they say 18 month contract, ive been told by many that once your in, your in....unless u do a really bad job lol)
Might sound a bit of a bad way to go about it, but youve got to think of yourself first, and if this waiting game in hindering your chances at other jobs, id fail to mention it lol

They have provisionally booked a place for him so thats good. And i have an appointment with my lone parent advisor at the job centre that i'll be working at (lol) tomorrow to discuss what we do now, ie, job grant, continuing housing benefit for a month etc etc. It will feel sooo good knowing that after tomorrow i'll be sitting at the other side of the desk lol. My only concern now is that Sonny will be in childcare from 8.45am til 5.15pm mon-fri, but he should be ok eh? He loves the creche he goes to at the minute, but now i feel guilty a little bit. However this job will change both of our lives for the better so theres no choice really
:D
Mandi, I'll have to come in and visit you. lol! Still not heard anything!!! eeeek!
Was it EO or AO position you applied for? Hopefully hear something soon because I'm Fife too. Do you know where you were on 'The List'??
