    Finally got a hold of one of the women that have the info about the job i fancied, she said basically el dont apply for it, you are over qualified and you would be bored senseless, it is going to be shift work and hard going,

    i spent hours last night doing the application form as well :(

    and i have now got oral thrush due to the tablets, i just know it is going to travel down the way :(

    but in good news i can now walk with only a little pain, i got £5.59 for a book from amazon, and after i do my little thing tonight i will be spending a few hours sitting on my verandah with my feet up enjoying my fire pit :)

    best get back to the job hunting though :)

    ahhh but once the sun goes down, and the midge repellent spray is on ... then there will be plenty of time for a fire pit :)

    This will possibly sound a bit 'out there' El, however when I was looking for a new job I wrote a letter to the universe (good old cosmic ordering) and listed 5 'wants' associated with this new post.

    Seven years later, I am still loving the job that came my way (I know that this will sound all hippy trippy, but it did work for me - honest!)

    Good luck El, the right job will come your way X

    Ah, perhaps she wasn't specific enough regarding timeframe;)
