    Morning/afternoon everyone,

    I'm sure you'll be fine with the car Maria, the first time I went on a motorway was by accident at night when it was snowing lol, I don't mind them though. You're so lucky to have gone to NY lilmiss, I'm glad you had a good time :).

    I have some good news for once... I've got an interview for the drafting officer job at the department of work & pensions. There are some numeracy and literacy tests, but the samples they've given look pretty straightforward so I'm not worried, plus, my boyfriend managed to pass a maths test for his job and mine is much better than his. The need six of them so fingers crossed the odds are in my favour.
    Finally bought a home

    Thanks :). I think I'm quite well suited to the job so I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

    Thanks Maria. The best thing to do is throw yourself into it and not worry. I never really used to like driving, then one day my friend from London came to visit me, he had to go back for work the next day, but they had engineering works on the trains so I had to drive him back 30+ miles through central London, since that it hasn't bothered me. Anyway, my point is it's less scary when you just do it :).
