    Glad that you enjoyed your hols Beanie but it's a shame that after a couple of days home it feels so distant. Leaving your son for the first time is a big milestone isn't it ? I remember it well !

    BB, Job D would suit and if its the one I'm thinking it is, then I think this is the one you would be most happy in going for.

    Job C would be within your capabilities but are you sure you want to get back in to the Big Company politics arena again? Dont worry about the calibre of other Applicants though, there are plenty of overqualified people out there fighting for jobs. Qualifications only get you the Interview, YOU get you the job. X

    Milk and more were great when they were Dairy Crest and the milkman delivered a bill and I paid him. Its gone downhill from there..not the milkies fault but the bills are computer generated and then taken from my card. Great till you change your card and don't change it on the website and they blackball you on Friday after 6pm to say they aren't delivering anymore! then when you sort it it takes 48 hours to reschedule deliveries.....

    Then when you cancel...they carry on delivering..not worth the hassle tbh!

    Hi Beanie and Sammy and Lou and anyelsebody.X

    Yep cars are a pain in the rear. Just sold a lovely car to a lovely mate and then my 'get me to work car' went wrong! Water pump, cam belt....along with the 4 tyres, welding and MOT and Tax that were due meant a trip to the scrappy.
    But a result! Got £80 for the old one ( which cost me £300 2 1/2 years ago) and I got a Fiesta from the mechanic at my garage with 6 months Tax and MOT and with 5 new tyres for £350....he wanted £400. Bingoooo!
    Certainly wont be spending a lot on a car ever again. Except Vera:D
    :D:D stay wonky :D:D
