    Fantastic news on the weight loss Souk. Glad you had a little taste of the old life, nothing like the sun to make you feel fabulous. Not sure I want to send luck for the interview as I am sure that you will impress them without luck but sheer knowledge and personality. What I will say is that I really hope that you enjoy the interview. Remember they have to impress you too. And I hope that the outcome is what you want. Will it mean you travelling to Edinburgh every day when you get it?

    Enjoy the pottering today

    Thanks all and no Cheri I couldn't stand the commute!!! I'd just move through as the longer day plus the cost of the train every month, which at £300 is the exact amount I usually save just makes that a no-brainer. Would love to stay here but got a bit of a network through there anyway so Im sure I could make it work!

    Right away to the gym now. Later X

    Good luck for the interview - if they've got any sense, they'll leap at the chance of employing you!

    That is great then Souk, I think it is a lovely city and perhaps your commute could be back to the other place for fun stuff. Fingers crossed and loads of postivity heading your way.

    Judging by a comment Souk made on my diary, it seems to have gone very well :D

    Thanks for all your kind words ladies.

    Ive got a 2nd interview. :j:j:jReally chuffed and got a good feel about the culture of the company Id be working for.

    Had a quick cuppa with the lovely flyin fresian who is looking slim and loving life with Fred the Fiat and then home for a nice tea.

    Early night tonight as I am planning a 6.30am gym visit tomorrow. :eek: I know I must be mental!

    Might be seeing a friend for a drink tomorrow and then my best friends mum and dad are in Glasgow in Wednesday so want to take me for dinner. I love them and they're great fun so that will be lovely. I also have plans for Friday night so need to stick to healthy food the rest of the time and do lots of exercise to combat the effects of my social life!!!
