    Sal,
    My kids have days like that all the time!

    And Kayleigh, that does sound very lucky indeed-espcially for the guys admiring the puppies in it ;)

    I have had my interview.

    I think it went well. And I also found my passport. I will not elaborate on that story because it is far to embarassing....


    Oh no I think you should:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    my missing passport caused no end of fuss too...it was also embarassing:o

    Pap, what % stuff do you need to know?

    To work out one number as a percent of another, divide the first by the second and times by 100. Does that help?

    If not, let us know what you need to work out and we'll try to point you in the right direction hun.

    Well I have this table of house prices and you have to 'summarize' it. Well I thought I was doing swimingly but there wasnn't much I could say. Untill I logged on to the ou forum and at the tutorial (I couldnt attend because of work) they had discovered it needed to be done in % to get a true summary. Well now I am stuck because I cant do precentages and I certainly then cant do that part of the question :rolleyes: I have put it away now... I will return to it on Wednesday :rotfl:

    No will be easy pap.....honestly - once you have cracked the percentages that is and it is as Snags said earlier...

    *Bunny is just going to pretend she has not been away with head stuck firmly up arris*

    right, so last night, DH says 'I'm sure your passport is in my bottom drawer with the rest of our passports' so I go and look but there is only my 'old, expired' one there... (can you see where this is heading?) so today, before my interview (please also bear in mind I was in tears last night looking for said passport and literally did not SLEEP I was sooooo stressed) I went to recruitment agency that placed me with current job knowing they had a copy of said passport and got a copy of the copy, then went 1 hour EARLY to interview thinking it would take me ages to register lost passport. So then I find out that my local constabulary does not do reports for lost passports...so i go sit in car for 45 mins sweating and shaking I am sooooo nervous.

    Go back inside at allocated time and lovely young lady comes out to take all my ID and photocopy it for security clearance stuff and I explain about said 'missing passport' so she takes me 'old, expired' passport and looks at the photocopies of my 'new' passport and says 'this passport is current-it hasnt expired'


    well, I looked...and she was right. I had my passport the WHOLE BLOODY TIME! I went about 7 shades of red, started laughing hysterically and begged to please not tell ANYONE about what a KNOB I am....

    and then I am ushered into interview about 2 mins later...
