95 minutes 😱? Respect to the interviewer for thinking of that many questions to ask - I'm pleased if I can spin them out for half an hour 🤣!

That's what I call a grilling!

Fingers crossed and in my experience the long interview is usually a very very good sign! CM

Thanks all!

@Cheery_Daff - they weren't entirely clear. Pitched me some woo about how HR make the decision (pretty sure they don't). Did mention the Easter holiday tho, so wouldn't expect to hear anything for at least a week. Probably 6 as it's basically government    

@South_coast - I'm with you on this one - I recently interviewed 5 people in one day, could have been 6 if we hadn't had one person with technical issues...

Ed, just noticed some of my clovers above only have 3 leaves - that wasn't meant to be some kind of sinister way of undermining my good luck wishes, more me not realising I wasn't hitting the same icon each time 🤣🤦‍♀️

(As it was, I couldn't find one in the emojis list, so had to type the word "clover" so it suggested it to me - who knew there would be a 3-leaf version 🤷‍♀️?)

@South_coast - don't worry - I didn't notice

Happy end of the tax year all!

• £209 viremented? into LISA (£261.25 after bonus is added)
• £5.96 added to SIPP from my personal spends account (£7.45 after tax relief is added)

This has been one of the few years where I've had the sense to top up accounts on the last day of the tax year, long may it continue. We go again tomorrow.

Starting to come down from my interview now, will need to work my tail off at actual work today as I have a lot on my desk.
