    I didn't get the internal job. To be fair I was the least experienced of the three candidates.

    Can I justify a new suit ??

    Do you think a new suit would make a difference? Then yes! There's always charity shop and Ebay too.

    I'm going for a job I am unlikely to get so don't want to buy new clothes for interview. I'm getting my suit trousers taken in so they are slim fit. I've borrowed a blouse and not sure about shoes yet.

    Good luck xx

    I hope they sort the indemnity malarkey immediately, that sounds so frustrating.
    Sorry you didn't get the job, that one wasn't meant to be.
    Best wishes for an exchange on Monday.

    We have done all we can now.

    Ponyplops has just been awarded 'Best Turned Out", "Pony Most Suited to its Rider" and "Best Family Pony" at our PC show. Puppylove was second in "Dog the judge would most like to take home" and with DS won ""Best Young Handler". Most exciting!
