    I think you've clearly stated the key reasons to take time out to plan your letter of intent and the key differentiators and personal skills you bring to the post vs. colleagues.
    Best wishes in your presentation of the excellent case you have to put to them.

    what they all said!!

    Go for it Poppy - you've just listed all the reasons why you'd be letting yourself down if you didn't apply.

    Good luck!

    Hey Guys,

    Thank you yet again for your support. Still waiting for the 'invitation' to apply as that will include job desc. and person spec. but making notes and feel like I have a good case.

    Am I the only person who hasn't written a Christmas card yet? There's just too much going on at the moment!!!!! I'm sure I've missed last posting dates for NZ and USA.

    Anyway - gotta go - first appointment in the Forest of Dean today and that's miles away!

    have a good day,

    PO xx

    ..mmm no, is there something happening this month then other than reviewing spreadsheet permutations on the mortgage and savings? :o

    Now you've got me thinking of the southern Cotswolds (born near Bristol & Bath) and the wonderful days we would spend visiting the forest too... Cambridgeshire just isn't the same, so few trees!!!! Still we live in a nice spot in relative terms :rolleyes:

    Doh Stuart :doh:it's New Year - which means extra special input into permutations, over & above normal obsessive amounts.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
