    Busy mom- i was joking about the room in the office, i know there would be more to it then just ordering a desk!!! Just thought it was funny thinking of them trying to negotiate new desk space for me in such a confined space. Gosh, i hope no one lunges at me!!!!! Scary thought!!![/QUOTE]


    You won't joke about the room when you start and see all back of house staff aswell. You may end up sitting on someone lap just to eat your dinner.:eek::rotfl:

    I was trying to say to us a simple answer rearrange desks fit more in, to the department no too easy. There again there are a few larger people on my team so not sure how exactly they measure spaces between desks:rolleyes:

    Few months down the line you will be well away. Have fun and just enjoy.:beer:

    I don't think you jobcentre have been very fair on you, Venus.

    when I had an interview on my signing on day, which again was the DWP virtually all day one !!!, they just told me that if I could get in to sign on the same day before they closed, then it would be ok. If I found I couldn't, just to ring them and they would sort an appointment out for me the next day.

    I was able to sign on before 5 pm on the same day, even though my signing on time was 9.10 am. I had no problem with my jobcentre in this respect.

    I know. I rang up so much to try and re-book it. I didn't just want to turn up. Then when i get told to go i get turned away...wasting 7 pounds on getting there!! Its frustrating as i have zero cash and i don't want to miss my over draft repayments! Ahhh well. These things happen. I have made a complaint and the woman said that she has records that i rang up loads so it wasnt my fault. At least that is something.

    I did get a waiting list letter end of last year then they contacted me in April can you start next week? (no I had a job to resign from) so started 5 weeks latter I am FCO taking new claims in a call centre but being trained to deal with benefit enquires (ie where is my money) to take some of the pressure off benefit delivery centres.

    How much care are you giving your Mum could you claim carers allowance?
    What a hateful job - just repeatedly and forcefully headbutt a wall - its more enjoyable.
