    I tried the eco mode and it wasn't as nice but I could get used to it. Then I sulked about work and have had normal showers since then 😂 

    Applied for another job yesterday with a deadline of tomorrow and also have an interview lined up this week were I'm stretching my experience a little bit, but could do it if they teach me!!

  • Good luck for the interview! It's always worth applying for things that you think might be a stretch, because you never know who else has applied or what kind of person they're looking for. When I'm interviewing people I'd rather have the right kind of person with less experience than someone difficult with the right experience.

    Oh pants long post just got wiped as phone had a moment.
    Interview went fairly well. Don't find out till tomorrow. They interviewed all day so one in eight/ten chance 😂 
    Other job I applied for has offered me an interview this Friday.
    Work seemed politely shocked that I've got interviews already but hey ho. Work said they may have another opportunity for me. Possible one that I'd be good at and like. I'll see how the week transpires. Apparently hr are meeting with managers tomorrow so sounds like the official heave ho is due imminently

    No official heave ho yet. Still in process but I've checked again and it's a forgone conclusion. Bet they do a u turn but to be honest I've had enough now as this is the same situation as 12 months ago.
    Interview yesterday offered me job I said yes! Work might have a back up but would be medium travel distance and yesterday's offer is 5 mins from home. 
    Interview on Friday slightly lower salary to what I'm on now but no child care. Decided not to go as it might just complicate me. And our wet patch is in full flow in the hallway now it's raining so I think now I have to say sorry kids but mum's going full time  to chase the pennies.

    Thankyou I always used to feel the same. Could they do the job could I stand to work with them. :)
