But did he sell much stuff or has he come home with more ? 

He’s come home with £400+ in cash (which will become his spending moment for his France trip later this year), paid for his half of the pitch in bits, sold a reasonable amount of stuff including a great coat (whoo hoo! They are sooo bulky!) and bought one home-front helmet for an undisclosed sum. Not bad 😊

Whoop, results all round 😀😀

I hope it goes well tonight and you get a better feel for the role and the company.

Thanks @beanielou, @redofromstart. Another strange, not-really-interview sort of a chat … 🤷‍♀️ We got on really well and he says he is going to say good things about me to the guy who might offer me the job 😊 I think he would be good to work alongside (his is a group role, the one I am going for is a site one) and we think very similarly 😊 Just tomorrow to get through, when I get to see the whole site working properly and meet the rest of the management team. 

The rest of the day has been … pretty positive. The intensity has dropped a bit in work and I actually got to do something other than inspecting samples for a a while today! Obnoxious colleague was civil all day to me today, but interestingly, I could feel myself almost flinching / bracing myself every time she tuned her attention my way. Not good. I was pretty gentle with myself today as a I had a bad night; up at 3am mixing up a sachet for a water infection and taking paracetamol. Hoping I can ward it off without antibiotics 🤞

Other small wins:
- My mum sent me some monies as she does each year and I will split this between an OP, a pension contribution (I suspect I don’t actually know how to do this yet) and keep the other third for savings. She approved of this split 😉

- Gathered and submitted readings to the octopods. I seem to be getting in the swing of the ‘how’ to do this now. 😊

That sounds positive.  Have to admit my last place all the directors interviewed as if it was a nice chat, and made decisions based on said nice chat.   At least you are speaking to different people so you are not just judging on one persons picture of the role and the place.

Hope you have an enjoyable look round tomorrow.

Was at the prospective employer’s site for 3 hours this afternoon! 😳 Good though 😊 I like the team I would be working with and the site was more positive than I remembered from the first time. The site manager said he would make me an offer by the end of the week and we chose an office for me! 😊
Just sent a long email to the chap I spoke to last night who will start two weeks before me about what I observed today. Absolutely shattered now. 

I arrived far too early for the ‘interview’ so popped into a kind of discount store nearby. They had garden furniture of the type I have been looking for for ages, so went back afterwards and bought a table and four chairs set (the last of that type - I had the display set!) for £220. I was pleased with that price as I have been looking online and the kind of thing I wanted was starting at £500+ typically. Mr KK was rather surprised when I asked him to help me empty the boot when I got home, but then very pleased 😊❤️



I still have much tidying to do but at least I have an incentive now 😉

Ooh, this is very exciting! All fingers and toes crossed that it's an offer you can't refuse!
