    Oh no, you didn't miss a thing! It's to be an insurance broker. It's majorly out of his comfort zone, but that's the way you have to go now to get jobs.

    Happy Friday everyone :D

    Ahhh that's great news about Mr Cinny! Is it standard pay plus commission? i.e. he gets paid even if he sells nothing?! My friend made the mistake of working for commission only and ended up paying out more than she was earning because turns out she's a rubbish saleswoman! :eek: Are you guys celebrating this weekend?

    Good to hear that Poppy is doing well, although I'm jealous already that she's tall and slim! ;) You did well not to cry, most mothers I speak to say that the first injections leave them blubbering wrecks for hours!

    How did you manage to tear a lens yesterday Dinah?!

    I blinked. I'm hardcore like that :D

    Gosh that is a change, I always assumed you needed lots of specalist qualifications, a bit like an IFA.

    Crikey... super strong blinks ahoy!

    Why oh why isn't it hometime yet?! It has been such a long week. On the plus side, in 14 weeks I'll be in Harry Potter World! :D

    Poor Poppy will have been wondering why you were sticking her with pins! :D I can actually remember having an injection for something, must have been about three, I was put across my Dad's knee and had my knickers pulled down and was stabbed in the bum! I had a big cry at that!

    Well done Mr Cinny, that's really exciting and a good challenge if he's out of his comfort zone like you say - all change in your house isn't it?!

    OH was saying the nurse must be hated by all the children haha.

    Off to the dentist in a min, managed to get an appointment.

    Job sounds good Cinny!

    Glad you managed to get booked in at the dentist Wendz, hope they sort you out!

    No wonder you cried at being stabbed in the bum Tete! :eek: I have quite happily blocked out all of my unpleasant injection experiences before I was 5!
