    Hi Pippi,

    Just a wee thought but in my line of work we're usually very amenable to phone interviews if candidates a far way off and then do a face to face if it really seems a goer. Would that be a consideration?

    You still don't sound well, Pippi - it was flu you had, not just a cold, remember, you've really got to let yourself heal before you dive in headlong again. The RG will tell you, too, I'll bet :kisses3:

    I am enjoying your window shopping on FB. I can spend hours on RM looking at houses but DH gets annoyed with me eventually so I have to step away :o

    Hope you are feeling better soon. Sounds like being a lachy in return for lodgings sounds like a good short term solution. It will help with the ultimate goal too.

    Take care of yourself x

    Invoice written
    Expenses written (lets not look at those - :eek:)

    All delivered.

    Free lunch (was teaching about leftovers)
    Free coffee at work.

    All good.

    Stuck a wee line out about being happy to do some sub-contracting from 'sooth' so we'll see who nibbles on that. I'm keeping some teaching time (lets fathom how we juggle that) so why not offer to do some remote paperwork/web/etc work too?

    :D

    Tea is chicken surprise. Unless its Halibut in which case that will be a surprise......

    Now that's not a bad plan - I did ask about skype for this last one but they didn't have the facilities. My only other application I've got in is for the BBC (*yes really :D, I'm that deranged to think I even stand a chance at being let loose on the general publics ears and eyes) Gardeners World researchers*. And, if they do bite they pay expenses as I checked :D and if not I'm sure they'd russle up a phone from somewhere eh?

    *Linkie for anyone who's also wanting to be a researcher of all things flowers - closing date 22nd Feb.

    I'm not fit for much and yup I did have the flu (I'm not a fan of the flu I have to say) - I promise I'm taking things a bit easy, as I'm still not right (and not JUST in the head). :A

    I'm enjoying spending Mr RG's (virtual) money too ;) lachy for lodgings doesn't sound dreadful does it.

    unless of course GW want me, in which case he'll have to share me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
