    Good to hear you sounding so positive Piq and I agree with you, the support on this site is amazing. I wish I'd found it 5 years ago, still better late than never as they say.

    So glad you are on the up and Bear is on the mend. Far to hot to trot here, I swam but now hot again.
    Obvious thing but you have put the cv on monster haven't you? Loads of agencies trawl it, could. Be good for exposure?
    Doglet is currently taking over a. Superkingsize bed, he is a 10 inch at the sholder JRT , how does that work?????

    I didn't think of that, I'm on the case, thank you!

    I sent off my odd bits of gold on Monday and my bank account has been credited with £919.18 :j:j:jI'm feeling a little OMG!!!

    I've got an extra months money to live on :j:j:j I'd like to pay it off my debts, but I need to live first!

    ...and I've got not one, but two potential interviews. I've got through the agency barrier and two separate agencies have sent my cv onto the companies who are hiring. I really, really hope one of them gets me an interview.

    I hope I haven't hexed it by telling you all. Normally, when I say something it all goes pear-shaped :(

    Piq - that's a fantastic amount for your gold, I'm sure you had a huge smile on your face when you saw that! AND 2 potential interviews, things are really looking up!

    I finish work today, have a beautifully decorated desk and have been given three gorgeous Pandora charms from my lovely colleagues. I do feel a little bit sad though!

    Glad things are looking up Piq.

    Noo :T
