Hiya Rainy. Well you sound super-organised, I love the multi-coloured post. Best of luck with it all -and with the interview on Wednesday. It's my twin daughters' birthday so I'm sure it will be a lucky day. Post the time of the interview here so we can all cross fingers and send good vibes.

Rainy_2

Thanks Seaxwyn, thanks savingholmes, all positive vibes gratefully received!

I need report to reception at 11.20am then...

11.30am for an assessment :eek: :eek:
12pm interview :eek:

12.30pm Tour (?!?!) why they bother with a tour for every candidate is beyond me Maybe it's a subtle sign if you don't get the tour you did REALLY bad and to not waste your time following it up if you don't hear back!

It's a very regimented interview but it is within higher education so to be expected!

A full day lined up tomorrow, thankful for a day off work (although I won't get paid for it :rolleyes:)

8.30 drop cat off at vets
8.30 (2 places at once) drop car off for MOT :eek:
9.15 Mums for nice (FREE!) breakfast and cuppa :)
10 Worry about interview
11 leave for interview (luckily garage, mums and interview all within 10 mins walk of eachother)
1.30 Back to mums for tea and sympathy! And hopefully FREE lunch...
Wait for car to be ready, pick up car
Pick up quite possibly very dozy cat
Pick up OH from work (he managed to bust his bike yesterday)
Wait for plumber to fix leaky radiator :eek:
Ebay ebay ebay!

Don't WORRY about the interview - instead take time out today to visualise yourself going through the whole process.....that way, when you arrive there, you will feel much more prepared for whatever comes your way.

mind over matter.........

I have spoken to the CCCS about BR and they gave me thinking time on a possible IVA but I have decided through careful research that I don't think an IVA is the solution for me, for various reasons.

I also found out, which I didn't realise, is that if the stat demand issued against me goes on to them petitioning BR, I can actually defend it in court. I thought it was cut and dried as soon as they hit the big red button.

Hi Rainy

First of all, well done for talking to CCCS. :T

Some good advice from them. Personalyy, I would think extremely hard before considering an IVA - it does work for some, although there are many 'risks' associated with the process, not least of which would be the almost inevitable consequence of Bankruptcy should your IVA fail for any reason.

Have a look at Martin's guide to whether or not an IVA could be suitable in your situation - http://www.moneysavingexpert.com/loans/pdf-iva-guide.pdf

And yes, you are entitled to 'defend' the petition for your bankruptcy, in court. The 'success' of your defence will, however, depend on lots of factors, not least of which will be 'due process'. To clarify - at my Bankruptcy hearing, the judge asked me if I 'agreed' with the case against me - I told him that I did not, and had been 'arguing' my position, with HMRC, for several years and that I knew that I did not owe them the money that they claimed. He looked, very briefly, at the file and explained to me (in a very gentlemanly way, I hasten to add) that, since HMRC had obtained a CCJ against me (we had tried to lodge a defence at the County Court, but were unsuccessful) and I had 'defaulted' against that CCJ (which demanded full payment within 28 days) resulting in HMRC serving me with the SD, then they (HMRC) had followed 'Due Process' and it was not his 'role' to query the CCJ, therefore his only option was to agree to HMRC's petition for my Bankruptcy.

I will definitely do that, thanks hypno.

Usually things like this don't get me worried but there's never been so much riding on getting a job before. Putting a bit too much pressure on I think! I am actually one of the rare people that quite enjoy interviews and I know that I have done a very similar job in the past so I will keep those two points at the forefront of my mind!
