    ...And, dear hearts we're out of eggs...

    Out of eggs? - that's even worse than being out of cheese! - What is the world coming to?!?

    My dear OH would go on strike if there were no eggs in the house - with a cheese shortage he merely grumbles!;) (mind you the grumbles are not quiet!)

    Thank you Greying and others xxx

    Yeah to the job!! I am so glad! Being at risk is not a nice feeling! The interview on monday went so very well, about half an hour before i left the house i scribbled on a bit of paper the main causes of the condition this job is to treat, along with bits about long term prognosis, along with notes about multi disiplinary team working..

    You could have knocked me over with a feather! (and thats no mean feat :rotfl: ) when nearly every question asked was covered by my hasty revision!!!

    When they called me back in, they commented on how well i had interviewed, how well prepared i had been and how they were impressed by how I have used my recently learnt information from uni course!!!

    Sorry to be hijacking and waffling on! but i am so very very chuffed
    ohhh and its an extra 2 1/4 hours a week :D up to 18 3/4 now, so still plenty of time for the other bits n bobs i do.

    PS... when i got home with a bottle of bubbly - my dearest dad reminded me that since i left school i have never not been offered a job i have gone for :D - i had forgotten that!!:rotfl:
