    Hello all!

    Thank you for all the good wishes! :beer:

    I start on April 16th, and I am now just negotiating with my current boss to have the first 2 weeks of April as holidays, so I can book myself a nice 2 weeks in the sun..

    The good news is that I will pick my full redundancy package, which will go a long way to helping out my Masterplan Fund..

    I heard from the other interview and I had not been picked up for second interview..In fact, none of the 8 candidates they saw did.. very strange indeed.. Oh well, their loss..

    I have got no internet connection at home at the moment..will be back online at home on Tuesday..

    Froggy :D

    Huge congratulations Froggy! I'm so pleased for you. I still dip in and out of your diary and am always so inspired and motivated by your updates to push on with my plans so thank you for that.

    The place not going for second interviews may have someone internal in mind - but none of that is important as they've already lost out on your skills and expertise so they just don't deserve you anyway!

    Go Team Froggy-G (where did I put those pom poms)? :D
  • Well done mate! :beer:

    I take back everything I said about you :rotfl:

    Good news about the redundancy money too!

    All's well that ends well
