    The muffins are bl00dy fantastic, even I couldn't believe that I'd baked them lol. Really appreciate you taking the time to A. try the recipe out first and B. sharing the recipe.

    Feeling smart is so much a part of the interview process that I'm pleased you had your hair done.

    Massive good luck vibes being sent to you and everything crossed as well.

    Love Alioops

    I've gone over it and over it, married CV to job description, tried to remember what on earth it was I actually did and don't think I can do anymore now. Tomorrow morning, I'll pull out a couple of bits that look really good from my portfolio [and are completely relevant] Pull out the ultra fantastic dark red handbag and I'll be ready.

    I'm seeing a woman, I think a lovely handbag might ensure she remembers me, plus it's big enough to carry all the portfolio bits and pieces. The rest of the outfit is plain and classy [I hope:)] so I shouldn't look too over the top. Having said that wearing heels after a break from them for a year might also ensure she remembers my drag queen walk...:o

    My hips and feet already ache. It was so busy at work today, three people were missing meaning the two of us that were there ran round for hours without a break :(

    I really, really appreciate the support and vibes from all of you. I will try my hardest not to let any of you down. On paper I can do this job, just hope I can convince them that I can.

    Interview's at 1:00 and it's only for an hour. I think there's quite a few people lined up for it as it's being held at the agency rather than the job offices.

    I'm glad you enjoyed them. They freeze well too, I had one for my tea this evening. The secret to muffins is not to over stir or beat them. The less stirring, the lighter they are!

    No it isn't. And that's the bit that worries me :eek: This is just the first of several interviews for the role, this is the informal one!
