    I WANT THE ROLLEYES SMILEY BACK!!!!!!

    :p:p:)

    me too, me too...I can't seem to write a post without it (see above)

    How rude of me - didn't say hi to newbies!

    Although I said yesterday morning I wasn't very relaxed about the prospect of an afd it got easier as the day went on as I felt increasingly grotty..today will be harder as after a single day off I feel restored and looking for trouble.

    Sad to say, I think the root of my problem is...boredom. I'm almost more ashamed to name the cause than the amount I drink, I need to get a life! When I do go out (rarely) I can spend all evening in the pub & just have a couple of drinks & get a real high just from the chat & the banter. It's being sat at home is the problem.....not a lot I can do to change my circs at the moment so I must deal with it in a better way (2 days & 500 posts later......*need rolleyes again*

    I have lots of roots, but last night driving home I decided I didn't actually need a drink for anything, I was perfectly happy with nothing to haze over. I just wanted the buzz of the first drink, unfortunately it wouldn't stop there!

    jo, this was the first message I read on opening the thread and assumed it was part of you power-dressing for your interview on Thursday. Are you definitely going? What's the news?

    Hope everyone's having a good day. It's pleasantly bright here but coldish.

    :naughty::naughty::naughty:

    I don't have roots, in fact I don't have coloured hair!!

    Maman, the interview on Thurs is just with the agency to get on their books, nothing exciting, a trawl right into London just to say hello *rolleyes*, they do say there are a couple of jobs they'd like to put me forward for though, just gotta prove what I've got on my CV is correct :D

    A job has come up at a local school to where I live for a PA to the new Head, I'm going for it even though I don't have quite enough experience yet, PA experience yeah but not in a school, loads more money plus I could walk to work :D
