Hi savingholmes,
Bad news with the postponed interview but just look on it as more time to prepare! Maybe will hear something back about the other one too - trying to insert smilies but not working for some reason, so here is an improvised one :-)
Managed to get my housework done last week, had the gas man coming and didn't want the embarrassment, but it's get messy again - straight home for me tonight methinks.
Have a nice night everyone - ah the light nights are brill! x0 -
Hi SC,
Sorry to hear about the interview. How was the choccies?! I must admit i'm a bit of a chocoholic....I think I could set up my own self help group for it infact :eek:0 -
HI Swinstie and Karen (and others) interview now Thursday instead - better really as it was high pressure to have it today as well as doing the handover... Got to go in tomorrow too but hoping to leave fairly quickly....
Just done a search on the web and no new jobs to apply for currently... Probably should chase round the agencies tomorrow but I feel like having a few days off chilling. The Thursday interview in theory should be one stage so could find out quite quickly if I have a job... all the more reason to have a lie in Wednesday LOL! :shhh: It would be another interim role rather than a perm job - and it is quite a trek from where I live so not ideal....
I just wish I knew the outcome from last week's interview... it is much better money and more of a challenge... OH had a dentist appointment so came home early - he is crashed out on the sofa - snoring - so irritating:mad: ! He did bring DD home from after school club - but I do need to go and get my DS from a friend's house....
The choccies are part of last Friday's pressie from my work... They are absolutely gorgeous! Only had 2 so far (today) so feel quite restrained LOL!:pAchieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Hello :wave:
Well done on the debt busting so far SH. Really hope you get the first job and if not the Thursday one.
LOL about the housework for visitors. I agree far more important things to concentrate on.
A chocoholic salf help group sounds good. I count it as an essential food stuff along with protein, vitamins etc!:jMay 2013 new beginnings:j0 -
Was in bed last night for 8pm - felt so drained from the handover and stuff.... Now I am awake can't sleep! At least yesterday was an NSD though and I don't usually have many of them...
Today's my last day...:eek: Hopefully it will be a short one....
Chev - and keeping positive - nice of you to drop in - hope you are both okay too!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
