    Good morning Happy Steppers Crew :wave:

    Alas, I didn't get the position but I gave the person who got it a good run for their money. When I asked for any pointers for improving my application form or interview techniques I was told that I was absolutely spot on and not to change anything. The other candidate just slightly fitted the job better (strategic planning)

    I am deflated but I've come a long way since January :dance:



    Yesterday I achieved 12 smilies :D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D:D


    Today I would like to
    1. Survive work especially as we have OFSTED in Done
    2. Put a £1 into my 'Stash The Cash' tin Done
    3. Put a £1 in my 'party' tin Done
    4. Put a £1 into our Easter tin Done
    5. Order tickets to DD3's show Done
    6. Fill out Parentmail form and return to school
    7. Make thank you card
    8. Write thank you card for Woodies Beamish trip



    Not on the list but I have also.......
    Put a £1 in my High Maintenance Fund jar for NSD :D


    Wishing all the steppers a tremendous Tuesday :grouphug:
