    Morning Cheery et al

    Oh dear. Blobbydom is not pleasant at all. I tend to go more by that now than actual weight as I find that when I feel good about myself a little peek at the scales can send me back to square one. Sometimes it is just about how you feel, how your clothes fit rather than numbers. I'm sure you'll lose the weight you want at SW. You are pretty good at it.

    You're right, of course, although right now I'm bulging out of the few things that will still actually do up! :o :eek: :rotfl:

    No job news today either :( Properly giving up now :( Mr Cheery thinks I should email to confirm they don't want me (rather than that they just haven't made a decision yet) but I can't bring myself to do that just yet, maybe Thursday when we really will be past hope...

    Thanks RT, but you can turn those hugs into a celebratory dance - Mr Cheery made me email and I've just had a reply saying the panel met late so they're moving the interview date - but I've got one :j :j :j :j :j :j

    Going to have to cancel my dentist appointment now - can't turn up drooling with a numb face :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Well you could but I doubt it would help your chances :rotfl:

    Well done for emailing. I don't think I would have been brave enough. Fingers crossed for the interview now :T:T

    Thanks Starnac :D I confess I wasn't brave enough to email really, I only did it cos Mr Cheery kept going on abouy how he didn't want that tiny scared part of me to be making all the decisions, and that I wasn't exactly pestering by wanting to plan working days a week in advance, and he went on for so long that I pretty much just did it to make him stop :o :rotfl:

    Glad I did though :D

    Bit overexcited today :D Not quite sure where to start with preparing :eek: had a session with a careers advisor today (as part of ongoing staff coaching thingy) and she was helpful, but planning to collar anyone I know who could be useful, and set up at least one practice interview next week :D

    Exciting times :j Trying not to get carried away but SO much hope I get it :j :j :j
  • YAY WOOP WOOP YAY GO CHEERY!!!!!

    :D a bit excited here for you too.
