Potential lodger has been. He was very friendly and polite and I felt safe around him. There is still a bit of unease simply because he is a stranger still, nevermind. I think if he decides to come which I am not sure he will, I think he will be okay and I may very well warm to him. I am not sure how I came off so we will see. he just sent a message to say he likes my place and it was lovely to meet me, how nice. I did feel better around the younger chaps, I am still happy to have him here. I just wish I was a bit more enthused! but he is just a lodger!

It is the morning of starting the new job, I don't know the pople having never had an interview, it is not far a 20 min drive to an area I have never worked in. I had a good feeling about the place when I last drove past on the way to another place so I'll take that as a good sign. I am looking forward to the work and it is a chance to shine, I have a yummy lunch to look forward to as well. Wish me luckXX

Thank you all, it is nice coming back to lovely messages 😍❤️😍 I had a great day, I really got into it, they wanted me to come up with improvements and I have and I have a few more ideas yet, I am kind of changing the way they do things quite a bit for the better, they are doing everything old fashioned, there is even an actual ledger, thankfully they have sage and I know my way around it. I am just going to look up a couple of things on you tube tonight, but I know what I want to do tomorrow.

Have a good evening allXX

Thank you Redlipstick, I really appreciate your comment, I think it will too, it will great to put on the CV an advisory role! Helped implement a new filing system, made the role more efficient and allowing extra time to take the work off the accountants etc. I am looking forward to seeing what can be done today, everyday will be different - also I am bossing around the boss! He is sweet I think he would be a great boss!

Today has been awesome, I have bombed through plenty of work, really enjoyed the day, we (me and manager) feel like we are in a good place to end the week, although there is still plenty to do, today I reviewed the creditors accounts, put together a pay run and posted the bank and reconciled the bank. Tomorrow I am going to my hospital appointment which I am not looking forward to, but once it is done that should be it for some time hopefully the last appointment for that problem. 

Anyhow I haven't told you the best news of the day: - I have a perm interview for a part time role, the drive is a little further then I would like but it is doable, it is 30/40 hours, the pay is 28-29K pro rata which equates to £21,750 or £1550 PM. It is what I have been doing today sage 50, purchase ledger and sales ledger - wowser a whole new system to learn! It says it is 30 hours, I am going to request this over 4 days, I think if it is 5 days I won't be interested as it is too far for the money on offer MD agrees with this, an new car it would not make! I am unsure at this stage how flexible they are? we shall see on Tuesday next week. It would be nice to have a Friday off or break the week up with a Wednesday off and I would take MD out.

Other news, I arranged for a potential lodger to come today but they haven't responded so I have sent a nice message to the other potential lodger to say that I would be happy for him to come, he has sent quite a few messages which were all well received, very sweet natured so lets see if he bites, it could all move quite soon as he says he would be happy to move in at the weekend if he decided he would?

Have a good evening allXX

I have fluffed up, I offered the room to the gentlemen that has been sending me lovely messages, only now he is ignoring me as well as the other person, the other person has now come back to me and said they missed the message, I said I had offered the place to the other chap. But now It seems I have no lodger. 

That is not all, MD put me off the role which is quite far out and instead of listening to myself which was that I was quite excited about it I said to them it was too far, so I have fluffed that up as well. It is like I am easily swayed and I act irrationally.

The good news is I will get a glowing reference from current work place when the contract comes to an end and they have agreed that they may invite me back in the future should the need arise. 

Also on the lodger front, I have more time to find someone I get on with, I didn't get a sense of a good vibe for either of them in all honesty, so maybe the right thing has happened, I just need to wait for the right person, I may have fluffed things up but we will see, there is normally someone looking so I just need to wait it out.

MD did say that it wasn't really good enough pay for such a distance, it is not economical so perhaps that was the right move too especially as right now I am being paid £19 per hour! (there is a first for everything!).

I only have an hour now until I head out to the hospital my lovely niece agreed to pick me up, bless her, I have an xmas gift I am giving her for her to take away with her today too as a gesture, I will ask if she wants fuel money also.

Have a good day allXX
