I agree - you could always just be honest with them and say that you have these issues to overcome but that you are looking into ways to make it possible. They might even have suggestions.

If they offer you a job, you could look into car sharing etc.

Does Ash start full time in September? I might get shouted at for this but if you had to borrow the money to pay for childcare for the first 4 or 5 months, (assuming you have to cover a shortfall of about £200 a month - but it might not even be that much, AND you will have a salary coming in) wouldn't that be an investment?

You've just borrowed the equivalent of more than one months worth for a washing machine (and that's not a dig I promise, because obviously you did need a washing machine! Just saying that to point out that it might not be as scary a thought as you imagine).

I was going to mention the possibility of car sharing too. Maybe you could even give them a ring for a preliminary chat about the travel/ childcare issues before you apply?

Glad to hear they are keeping outta mischief!

erin is fine, she was posting on here last night about the death of a new goldfish (called patches, lol!) she was terribly philosophical about it!

Thanks for the congrats, i am pleased it's going so well... still a long way to go though.... but already somewhere on the horizon I'm scared about when i will have to be readjusting back to real life.... i would hate to end up putting it back on again...

Didn't you lose a bit of weight before? how are you keeping it off?

Afternoon all, lovely day here in Plymouth. Just catching up

Right

Jet - Hope the boobies are ok. Was it an enlargement or reduction if you dont mind me askin?

BR - Good luck with the interview today

I-A - I hope the childcare doesnt prove to be a stumbling block. There has to be a way surely. Do CAB do the old Childcare Voucher Scheme too?

I am comparing house insurances - a job I hate. I went with Churchill last year. They have quoted £352 to renew but confused.com came up with them at £160 for a new customer! :mad:

I know that I'm ancient and my brats are now 18 and 22, but wasn't there a promise from the Government ( which ever bunch of wazzocks were in at the time) that GUARANTEED childcare so that parents, particularly single-parents were able to go to work?

Or was that another Government BS Promise?

Hello all btw:D

Hello Lucifa btw, hope things are well with you.

Sounds about right Bookie, Coventry BSoc ( who used to be by far the cheapest for me ) wanted £527 to renew:eek:( £4000 claim in last 18 months ) confused came up with similar cover for £180. happy days, no loyalty where Insurance is concerned.

Unrelated to this Bookie, have you checked out www.bdl.org.uk yet?
