    Well, I have some news............ I've been offered a job! :j


    Its contract, not permanent but I am so happy. I think think I deafened the poor agency guy when I screamed :o. I need to go through background/credit checks and I need to take all my paperwork to the agency tomorrow to prove who I am.


    The amount of pay is similar to what I got before the only thing I don't get is a pension and medical but I may look into doing that myself.

    This means I can breathe again, its a very smart place so I need to get another suit and tops I can get out of the charity shop. I do have suits I wore a few years ago but they are too small. The job is a 20 minute walk from the train station which hopefully means I'll get fit and lose (a lot of) weight, my previous job I drove door to door.


    Immense!!!!! very very welldone you!! couldnt believe it when i saw you'd been made redundant again. Chuffed for you :) :T:T:T

    oh Uni i'm so pleased for you, congratulation on the job. I'm sure you'll swim through the checks and start as soon as possible.
    Hope you can get OH sorted soon, sounds like he needs a kick up the backside or if he's always sleeping a visit to the doctor.
