    Great news Pap :)

    Do you think if I sit very quietly here by the laptop the fairies will not notice me and tidy up around me??

    PAP you clever girl you...... many congratulations. That must have given your confidence a real boost!!

    Hope you can get the start date you want. I wouldn't worry too much about references. These days all the can say is general stuff such as confirming you worked for them and the dates you were there. They don't seem to give any opinions about you either way.
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Have filled in forms for FOS and they will go in the post tomorrow once DH printed off a letter at work for me.

    Would really like to come home to a refund cheque from Lloyds.
