    A question - what is the normal number of referees to ask for? Is it 2 or 3?

    I thought it was 2 but maybe 3 is now normal? Or is this to prevent people applying for vacancies straight out of college or uni with no work experience?

    I thought they asked for a couple of work ones and a personal one, something like that.

    Least he has something to "tide" him over:T and he will be out of you hair for a few hrs;)

    Yes, at least its 3 days - wont be getting back until nearly 11 so there will be late nights this week and cooking smells when he gets back :D

    And yes he is very bored - always been a worker but after the way he pitched in on Friday he might be more agreeable to helping his dad with a few jobs eg hedge cutting and also there are piles of sticks that need shredding - so Sunday we should keep him fully occupied.

    Interesting - I think he can just about manage 3 work ones but ideally 2 - the personal ones might be more of a problem.

    Well he should soon get something then if a worker:T yes now he is getting sorted might be more inclined to help;)

    Potential trigger on 3 for £10 Easter Egg on A? Ferrerro Raffaello 240g
    £4 each, 3 for £10.

    Not sure if it would trigger or what would be a good match, but comes back on A app and MSM as item not found.

    I took it to my friend's Jewellers shop, to buy a better chain.
    She cleaned it & read the hallmarks, made in 1979 by Ammonite Ltd of Cowbridge

    :D:D:D:D:D

    Snap that is gorgeous, no wonder you desperately wanted it. My brain is working o/t here trying to figure the meaning of it. I can't make a connection between the gardening implements and the ships wheel :cool: beautiful piece though xx
