    So today is going to be spent refreshing my emails, as that’s how they’re going to let me know. Second to last shift and I’m not sure if there’s much left to cook!

    So sorry to hear that.

    Perhaps drop them an email and say something along the lines of you are really disappointed but thank them for considering you and ask for feedback from your interview and that you will look out for further opportunities with their company.

    Glad the dogs are on the mend.

    Sorry about job 2 and about the interview.

    Hope you have a lovely time with your DS.

    Your stream, ditch planting arrangements look very professional.

    Already emailed for feedback. Last shift tonight at job 2. The DDs will travel up after work tonight.
    DS 2 had his planning permission granted on the land he bought. That’s taken a while to get sorted.
