    I'm getting a bit nervous about Monday, I was absolutely fine until yesterday when I realised that I'm gonna have to ring in sick on Monday morning and the realisation hit that it's only a weekend away :eek:

    Oh god, very scared :eek:

    Oh, and I've still not bought my power suit *rolleyes*

    Fay, I have no idea where I am with the FAFFness, I've just added another day to my sig but I can't remember when the last time I updated it was....sorry :)

    Can you remember how many nights you had a drink this week and then move onto last week? It should then tally up - you weren't far in front or behind me and I'm on 25 now so should be pretty close or the same as this :D

    Where's that ***rolls eye*** smiley when you need it?

    I'm just doing (that's heating up:o) chicken jalfrezi, pilau, chips, pakoras, samosas, poppadums and mango chutney. Nom, nom! We always have a lazy, take out type meal on a Saturday if we're at home.

    :wave: to Miss P, great to hear from you and :T on FAFFing despite all your problems. Your parents sound like lovely people.

    Jo, try to keep calm over the interview and use your energy for constructive preparation. I take from what you say that you haven't told anyone at your current school about the interview. Shame you have to call in sick. Don't go mad about power dressing. I think you need to wear something you feel comfortable in and that doesn't always apply to new stuff. Think about anything you've got.

    Lovely new avatar sparkles.

    Hope everyone is having a good evening either on here or out and about.

    I will be calm once I'm there, just very nervous before the event :eek:

    I was joking about power dressing....I will be buying a suit because I will feel comfortable wearing something new and smart. I will be buying a nice white crisp shirt and might pick up another one in a colour incase they decide to have a second interview. I honestly don't think I'll get the job and because of this I will be more confident in the interview and be able to big myself up more, if that makes sense....there is no desperation for the job here, I'm just absolutely made up that I got an interview!! :D

    ETA: I've already got a list of questions lined up for em :rotfl:

    ETA2: I've also got questions lined up for the prefect that's gonna be giving me the school tour :rotfl:
