    Thanks :) I'm trying not to get my hopes up as I'll probably just be disappointed again :(

    Hey SF,

    I just wanted to stop by and say that I think you are doing so well in saving a house deposit and good luck with your interview on Friday.

    One thing that occurred to me while reading your diary was do you know the schools that you are applying to? I only ask as when I got my job last year my boss said afterwards that one of the reasons that she employed me was that I went and visited the hospital before I applied (as I hadn't been to the department previously) and that none of the other candidates did that so it showed that I was really interested. I know it isn't that practical if you are applying for lots of jobs and doing supply work as well but just a thought.
    Life is like a sandwich, the more you put it in then the tastier it gets.............just go easy on the :spam:

    That sounds like quite a good idea

    It does sound like a good idea, but they do say that a visit to a school isn't necessary, and whilst I'm on supply, I'd have to lose a day's pay to go and we can't afford it :( I do my research on the school beforehand, but another problem is because I'm applying for so many jobs, I wouldn't have time :(

    Thanks for the suggestion though! :)

    Right, so I have lots of things I need to get today, either in school or at home!
    My list:
    - get students to sign all work
    - get work sent off! :j
    - do lesson plan for tomorrow
    - do powerpoint for tomorrow
    - set cover work for tomorrow
    - NSD?
    - be healthy!
    - tidy upstairs
    - make yummy chicken fajitas for tea :D

    Think today is going to be pretty busy at school, so I'm just having a quiet 5 minutes on the computer in the office but it all starts....!
    Can't stop coughing and sneezing though.... :wall:
