    yaaaay great news Luc, keeping everything crossed for you, hopefully it's your turn for the DFW willpower to work for.

    Pooky, hope it goes well.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    With any luck they'ss be like buses and I'll get a couple of interviews cos as I say I'm not sure of the company - the job ad was a bit, um, gimmicky with marketing lingo....

    "We are currently recruiting a professional and knowledgeable Bi- lingual Financial Accountant who knows how to balance having fun while working hard. If you enjoy a fast paced environment and working with a great team, keep reading!"

    I am - the location isn't an issue (city centre) I just had reservations cos the ad was a bit cheesy:o

    Picky - moi?:rotfl:

    Washing on, load airing, ironing pile a bit taller, rest folded and away and chicken marinading drumsticks for tonight (oil, sweet chilli & ginger relish and an extra kick of chilli powder) to be served with sweet potato wedges and another veg to be decided (probably a tomato based relish thingy)
