    Thanks guys. newlywed keep going there's a perfect job for you out there somewhere. I was lucky in that when I was put on notice our HR department sent my CV to Aberdeen to see if they had something for me. I was just pure chance that this job had come up. The interview I had was a bit scary.....3 people for an hour and a quarter. Lots and lots of questions. Then we had lunch and I was told the client thought I was perfect for the job and all we had to do was discuss terms and pay....if I wanted it of course!!! It's been a whirlwind....boss rang this morning to say that he was releasing me and that I was starting in Aberdeen on Tuesday....got to go in the office tomorrow to collect my stuff and say goodbye :cry:
    As my dad always used to say 'Just because you've got the money doesn't mean to say you have to spend it all at once'

    Carolyntia - Congratulations on the new job! :beer::j

    Morning all!

    We have had a very busy morning here
    The good news is - my tooth is much better! Wohoo!
    The bad news - I went to get a clean towel from my airing cupboard this morning and my boiler has leaked all over them :mad:. It must have started leaking within the last 24 hours, but it has soaked through 2 Bath towels and my posh (And very expensive) Dorma bedding :mad: and has left oily, rusty marks all over them. It is still leaking in 3 places and I have bowls under neath trying to catch the drips, our boiler is covered by insurance but the engineer can't get here until tomorrow. :mad:

    So, as I am still trying to look on the brightside, So here are yesterdays pleasures:
    - DH in Surrey for work, but managed to get home much earlier than normal as his meeting was brief.
    - Using leftover cooked lamb from the freezer to make a "sort of" hot pot for tea (I have lost count of the meals I have managed to get out of this particular leg of lamb!)
    - The smell of rain after a long dry spell.
    - Getting stuck into a good book.
    - Tidying up DD's nursery and finding some toys and books I had forgotton about.

    Hi Everyone

    Carolyntia - WELL DONE AND CONGRATULATIONS!
    Newlywed - chin up... hope your luck changes soon
    Sparrer - My trip to Norway is to look at the fishing industry there so I should get to see a lot of beautiful scenery

    1) Little wander into town with a colleague today - picked up loads of whoopies so have loads of veggies for the weekend. Not sure how I am going to get through all of them!! But its going to be yummy!

    2) Work was very busy today - but got loads done.

    3) My colleague was very chuffed with the courgette and tomato plants that I gave her this morning

    Hmm... only 3 today... that's not good...

    *note to self* - must try harder!

    Have a lovely evening

    Perhaps travel cannot prevent bigotry. But by demonstrating that all people cry, laugh, eat, worry and die, it introduces the idea that if we try to understand each other, we may even become friends.
