    Thanks for asking TNG but I didn't get it :(

    BUT! Good news....it was a big group interview then some where told to go and others picked for a 121 interview (which I was :D), during the interview they said that a secretarial position has just come up (I actually knew cos I saw it advertised in the paper yesterday ;)) and she asked if I would be interested in applying. She has just rung to say that I didn't get the TA's job but they would really like me to apply for the secretarial job so I've asked that they put my CV in that pile instead :D:D:D plus it's more money than the TA job :beer: :money: 8.30am-4.30am and just half hours drive from home :j

    I really really want that job, so looks like I'm gonna be on tenterhooks for a lil bit longer!!

    How's you??

  • Hi everyone
    How are you all doing?
    I have not posted for a couple of day as I have had my head in Allen Carr's book. So glad that I did, it was great.
    It's day 11 for me. :j
    I know it is only 11 days but I would never of thought that I would be doing this cold turkey and feeling okay with it.

    I hope everyone is having a good smoke free day

    p.s. hope you get the secretarial job Jo:D

    Did an hours basketball today, without tiredness, but the 5 minite "conditional start-up" which means you dont stop and you have to pus yourself beyond normal ability, really knackered me.
