    Ladies we don't think it is good news we shall see.
    It has been a funny old week but I feel empowered by my application and will apply for future vacancies elsewhere as soon as they arise.

    All you can do is wait and see, while keeping a eye on other potential roles.

    Sorry to hear you didn't get the job but it was great experience and you did all you could so well done for getting that far.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Im still keeping my current job i heard but will go down to old pay and lose £100 a month. All being well that gives me a year to find another job and start driving. The good news is I still have a job. I broke all the rules and celebrated by spending my cash on a chinese for me and a colleague (£14). 
    Payday tomorrow and I am only saving £200 in June as i wasted £50 on interview travel and resources!

    That's annoying, but with a bit of jiggling budgets should be workable still, maybe reduce savings to accommodate the change.
    A takeaway before payday is perfectly acceptable, you've got through the month and it's only a few hours until funds are replenished.
