What a wonderful present for your mom. Happy birthday to your DD and good luck with your interview tomorrow.
Hopefully Mr SA behaves himself; some of his antics make me smile but then it is not me that has to live with him. Fingers crossed you manage to get away this year for one of your well deserved holidays.6 -
Happy birthday to DD 🎉🎈🎁. I expect it being your Mum's birthday too makes you miss her, but DD's birthday gives you something more cheerful to focus on.
Good luck with your interview, I'm sure you'll do well as you sound well prepared. I always got the jobs I didn't really want as not wanting them stopped me being nervous 😂. The exception being my current job which I did desperately want but I thought the zoom interview was an informal chat, so I wasn't nervous about it until it turned into a full on interview with three interviewers 😱😂 .Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Well I’m ready for tomorrow. I’ve done all the prep I can, prompt notes have been done in case my mind goes blank. I just hope my age doesn’t go against me, I forget I’m no longer a young whipper snapper. It shouldn’t do but you never know.This time tomorrow it will be done and dusted. Until the next one 🤣🤣 There’s the other job I applied for where the bloke I’d be working for contacted me to invite me to apply or help him find someone suitable.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5
