    Control freak stressy pants is on holiday for 2 weeks from today. She has no idea I went because of me doing my superman act getting changed and then changing back again. I could well be in my new job by the time she gets back. :rotfl:

    I'm giggling thinking of her reaction now.

    No more sitting facing a wall every morning like a battery hen waiting for the farmers wife wielding her knife waiting for an error so she can drag me off to the top huffing and puffing dramatically :rotfl:

    I will be more senior than her all day rather than just in the afternoon and she is going to soooooooooooooooo hate it!!!!!

    I got my first bra at 12 for 'big school'. It was from BHS and was a 32 AA.

    Bit bigger now!!!! (although going back down now with diet ;) )

    awwwwww, thanks :o

    Can't stop grinning generally these days, sometimes going through the mud of life is worth it when it all comes together in lots of ways.

    OH ain't gonna be happy, but I don't care. He keeps saying I 'should' be going for jobs at 30k and I say - well I have been going for what few relevant ones there are out there! I 'should' be looking to get the job I was put forward at the RNLI. However, it's £1300 more a year, there's 'travel' (eek, driving!) and it's a big place. I am happy in my slightly jaded building with my 'family' feel work colleagues. I know them all so well (including stressy knickers!) and I just didn't want to leave. I really didn't. I just needed the opportunity to move back up.

    I am just going to say to him when he puts me down for not wanting the RNLI job if I get an interview that it's my choice. If at some point I am out of work, then that is my choice to be in that situation. I don't think I will be, but if I am then that's something to face then.
