  • I think that it’s good that you’re occupied tomorrow morning. Less time to needlessly fret about the interview. To my mind, anyone who can deal with children, can ace any interview. You’ve got this

    Aw thanks, @in_need_of_direction :) Just trying to think of some intelligent questions to ask!

    DH has given me some in addition to the ones I already have, but I've answered a few already by chatting with the person who's in the job at present.

    Interview outfit will be black trousers and shoes with a mustard-coloured jumper and matching scarf. I think. At least having those laid out, I have something to wear! Might change it to a teal top and shoes if the weather is warm enough.

    Outfit for the morning thing with the Wednesday job is laid out too, and lunch is packed apart from soup to be heated in the morning. Even my outfit for the cleaning job in the evening is ready! I've warned DH about touching any of these as I just need to grab them and go.

    I got confused.  Today is Thursday.  I thought that the interview was Wednesday but my phone is saying that you posted yesterday evening with the interview tomorrow so today with your clothes ready for the Wednesday work put out ready.

    So, if you haven't had the interview wishing you well.

    If you have had the interview hopefully it went well.

    Sorry for the confusion - I have an extra session for the Wednesday job which is today, Thursday, followed by the interview followed by a shift on my cleaning job!

    Thank you for the good wishes.

    Thanks SA. I think the interview went okay though I've no way of telling how well the other candidates did. A complication is that under some legal terms, while the panel can make a decision and a recommendation, that decision has to go to membership at a meeting in a few weeks - so I think I'd better just go quiet on it for a while. :) 

    Other than that: going to the Wednesday job (although it's Thursday) all morning to help man (woman) a stand turned out to be quite informative. The place was really busy early on, tailing off by lunch so we left before the bitter end. Some contacts made and probably new clients too.

    I had enough time to do a turn around and get ready for the interview. I ditched the original clothing plan in favour of a dress as a) the trusty office-style trousers are no longer a good fit and b) the dress suits me. I will pass on the trousers and I really should look at replacing the 'formal' shoes too as they are very worn.

    Work was fine this evening: three hours and a brilliant supermoon.

    I've not spent anything today.

    Thanks :smile:


    If I've understood the member of staff aright, The screen shot won't add any money off coupons unless you added then before taking the screenshot, but it may be that you just have to activate the coupons before shopping, so it may be worth checking.

  • I activate the coupons at home before I go, the card just says who you are which then checks your account. It's the same as them taking your phone number at the till.
