Well there was a definite hint they could consider finishing me up pronto! I lasted the day however and they are very pleased with the quality of the and I quote "absolutely brilliant" work I have done. The agency are going to speak to her tomorrow to see what she wants to do....clearmydebts wrote: »Hi SavingH,

I should find out if I am going to get tomorrow's job Thursday... I am up against one other person so it's not a done deal yet by any means!
I've not been paid yet - and I should have had my first weekly pay yesterday at the latest. I have chased that up and they are promising to sort that out in time for this weeks pay run at the end of the week. Here's hoping they do....
At least it's not a secret now. I should be able to claim back my train fare - but that was £60 plus a £1 booking fee! I am taking the opportunity to meet up with my sister as well while I am down in London.....:money:- money saving in that we don't normally get to meet up - not so money saving in that we are planning to "do lunch":eek:

Hi guys well I am up. Overslept so not done all the prep I planned to do this morning - will have to see if I can fit it in in between taking the kids to school and catching my train LOL!
It is also raining - not good either... especially as there is a tube strike on and I may have to walk!
On a positive note I have lost 2lb so far on my diet which is at least something to keep me on the straight and narrow....
Hope everyone else has a good day while I go off to interview land again!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Thanks Guys - hopefully will find out tomorrow if I got the job....
Back in work tomorrow not finished up so far at least... There are major problems with me getting paid - so not sure I will be paid this week either - so currently 1-2 weeks behind which is not good for the old budget!
Train was delayed - obviously also had problems with the tubes too. Visit with sister went well altho it cost too much - not worked out how much today cost yet but was significant!
GG I've not forgotten you - I am just on a personal roller coaster currently... Hopefully tomorrow's news will clarify things for me!Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030
