    just checked the train Pap and you can go from Temple Meads at 9:15 direct and go back there from Weymouth at 20:09 direct - 2 hours 20ish each way and then you just have to get back to Parkway - sadly the last parkway train is just before the train from Weymouth gets in...wonder if you can do that bit by bus??

    Thanks becky, I found that one too, its £14 but for 7 hours its a bit fo a trek.. I will see what happens in the mean time :D
    This morning I played out a little scenario in my head where I got a call saying they apologised for the delay............but they weren't going to recruit from those interviewed.

    Call me Mystic bleedin' Meg..................................!!!!!!............

    They took ages getting back to you...

    yeah, apparently they still hadn't decided this morning!!!!

    I've put a fuller blow by blow of the conversation on my diary, but it really was a waste - they are going to really struggle to get a candidate with the strange mix of skills they want.

    so that's 2 interviews and 2 jobs not appointed to because the candidates don't have the right mix of skills.

    The squeezing has to stop really - if public organisations want to appoint staff they need to put out job descriptions that actually fit recognised skill sets rather than mixing opposites to save money and bolt posts together.

    I'm glad she's happy. I've had a good clean in the living room now and have put the travel cot where the swing was so I have a bit more room :T

    I'm loving the haircut so please say a huge thanks to her for that.

    Glad you had a good time Toto and Sammy :p
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
