    Yes he said he would love to, they said its the first apprentice position that they have had it is a small family run company.

    DS is in bed. Still talking to himself, its only been an hour lol.

    I was going to overpay my full £100 saving but panicked that I may have written the account details wrong so sent a small test payment first.

    DS karate club was on Heno tonight (S4C) doing waterfall training, he's to young to do it atm

    Off to bed now with a book

    Bless him. My kids did jiujitsu but stopped when they were doing their black belts, I remember waterfall training!

    I do overpayments on the phone... I rather love the process (I can be anal!)
