Thanks Dolly, just spoke to my manager (he's sick of me harrasing him I'm sure haha) they are awaiting references, which would be fine if it was like 2/3 but they need the last 3 years worth which is a few as have had a few jobs was at college etc. So hopefully will hear something soon!
Would it be wrong to give my referees another polite reminder and ask them to complete it as a matter of urgency?

No, I would send them an email just to say that they will be contacting you & you would appreciate if they could take the time to complete.

So it's Friday and it's pouring down. Not terribly bad here tho like down south.. I'm off to my ex's for the weekend and get the rest of my stuff, I really don't know how I feel at present.. He's mad busy with his 4 jobs we are still speaking every day but I'm just not sure he wants to try and make things work and well if that's the case I need to walk away..
In other news I asked recruitment if I could provide anymore references to speed things up so they have a professional reference so that will help then it's just waiting for the DBS..
I feel like it will happen soon.. or at least I'm hoping it will..
Also been musing about the living situation I've decided a flat in the town I'm living in and working in could be a possibility.. I've never considered a flat but it is definitely an option for the future.
Have a good weekend,

e=Well it's Wednesday and guess what! I'm still waiting! DBS is well on the way now last one only took a week so fingers crossed it's sorted soon!
I've been to look at a few houses and flats, nothing perfect but will keep looking. I've noticed the rent I'm paying on my room is a lot compared to alot of others in town, my friend has said I can move in with her and she will charge me less than I pay now with the view of paying all my debt off ASAP and getting a place of my own.
I'm really not happy here I don't feel comfortable.. maybe it will be different once I'm working but if I could rent somewhere cheaper it will help pay off the debt sooner... I go to my mums and spend all day and night there then I come here just to sleep I don't feel comfortable cooking as things get said about choices of food etc..
Saw the ex at the weekend he's knackered currently working 4 jobs and it's taking it's toll on him. He was kind enough to lend me some money to see me through till I start my job.. I never asked was thrusted an envelope before I left.. I had joked earlier on in the weekend as he'd seen my online banking when I was checking it (had 20P to my name) so more debt but he's adamant I just pay him back when I can..
I feel in such a quandary...
Hope your all ok..

So my DBS is at the dreaded stage 4.. It was only sent last Thursday due to all the fafing on with the paperwork... so I guess it could still be ages.. Funnily and sickeningly enough my last enhanced one last year took a week!
Feeling so down, just want to go to work!!

Just got an email from HR, DBS is back and they are awaiting one reference which happens to be a character reference from a family friend so have chased it up , the email was sent but he never received it? So it's been sent again and fingers crossed he gets it this time and gets it sent back!!
A start date of Monday would be amazing, wonder if I ll get it?
