  • Hi unix, how's things?

    Good work on the interviews, I've got my fingers and toes crossed!

    I love tuck shop sweets like refresher bars! Irn-bru bars are a favourite of mine too!

    How's things with the SS?

    Thanks Pencakes. SS actually asked me how to cook something! Ok, its only a baked potato but he's actually cooking things now and now he wants to learn how to cook bolognaise!!!! :eek:



    I had my interview today. Just had to write feedback on how it went! Weird eh? I really would like this job, it sounds interesting and will be working within schools. Its only 3 months but the place seemed really nice and so did the people. I managed to get parked next to the place (a miracle in the city), but it cost me £4.80! At least it didn't snow/rain, so I didn't need to take an overcoat.

  • Spaghetti bolognaise is one of the easiest things to make! Be thankful he started with that and not something more fancy!! ha ha :)

    Keep us posted about the job :)

    How is everyone today? I cannot stop yawning! HAW, yes I am thankful he wants to learn to make bolognaise. What I'm not happy about is that I know he'll make a pot say whilst we're out, scoff some and bin the rest! So will need to explain how to store it etc.

    Done some onepoll this morning, I'm now 50p away from a payout. I should hear about the job today. Fingers crossed!!

    Just had a call about the interview I went to on Monday. Its now confirmed..................... I GOT THE JOB!!!!!! :j:j:j:j


    :beer:


    Now, just waiting to find out when I start. Its only 12 weeks work and the agency said they will help me get set up with an umbrella company (too much hassle starting up my own company to get paid). Its a relief to know I will soon have some money coming in, it has been a real struggle (and may still be until I get paid but I'll survive!). Thank you for all the positive vibes..... it worked! :T
