Hi

I realised after I had posted that it was you. I was very sceptical about coaching until I saw it in practice, but may get some books out to read up a bit. I did ILM coaching a few years ago, but work wouldn't allow people at my grade to go any further with it.

Hi Gill, hope the interview has gone well and you have a nice weekend

Back from interview, seemed to go OK, but you never know. I may be overqualified/experienced for the role. As they want someone to start immediately I will find out later today, so fingers crossed.

Watching re-runs of practice for the GP, trying to decide what to have for lunch.

I've had a very unhealthy toasted cheese sandwich

Fingers crossed for the job x

Just got an email from Quidco that an item had tracked. V. confused as haven't bought anything online for ages, turned out it was the new headlamp bulb I bought from Halfords in store. Forgot that I'd registered my debit card, and glad I didn't pay with cash!

Hello to the people who've read this far.

I got the job :j:j:j:j:j

Its a 3 month contract initially, but there is a possibility of more work at a better rate in the future. So, don't need to think about JSA anymore, but will wait to work out how much I get etc. Although I'm registered with HMRC as self employed its just as a sole trader, so will have to use umbrella company in order to get paid.

Had fish and chips from chippy for tea, by way of celebration so all the good work, walking yesterday is wasted.

Off to do food shopping, have just had a panic as realised that won't be able to work on Monday and Tuesday, so won't get paid on Thursday for those jobs, so will probably need to dip into savings for a week. Hopefully can organise getting paid weekly or fortnightly.

I've also got to go to Mr A or Mr T and get some cheap tops to wear as don't have enough stuff that fits any more.

The money from this job isn't what I've been used to, in fact is quite a drop, but is still better than part time, and can still cover all bills and will be good experience and look good on CV

:T:T:T Yay Well done Gill! That's great news!

At least you are back on the ladder - it's easier to find another job once you're in a job.

Hope you got fixed up with some tops and enjoyed the fish and chips
