Good Luck with the interview on Thursday morning
I'm sure it will be a breeze and when they learn of what a resourceful and strong willed person you are they're bound to welcome you with open arms and pay you a huge wage too![Big Grin](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I start work tomorrow ![Thumbs Up](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
The interview was a breeze and so I start at the lovely time of 6.30am tomorrow morning, working a 12 hour shift, 4 days on and 4 days off! Mr G already has a shirt and jacket that I can wear, with the company logo on it. ![Smile](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/smile.gif)
So I came home and I told Mr G who promptly gave me a big hug
We're having a celebratory dinner tonight
Then we took the dogs out for a long walk and it was so windy my nose started running...![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)
Then to top it all off Mr G asked asked me a favour. He said once I know my shift pattern, if it turns out I'm off work on the days or some of the days the guys are working..would I be willing to keep an eye on the dogs instead of them getting a pet sitter to come and take them out for half an hour. In return they'd reduce my rent.
Of course I said it would be my pleasure. It's not as though I'd have to sit in all day, I can go out and run errands. Its just so that they're not by themselves all day and they don't end up paying £10 for half an hour of pet minding.
So all in all it's been a good day so far, and it's only 1.30pm![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)

Well done! So happy for you and very inspired by your "go getter" attitude!
I know you will be utterly exhausted for the first few weeks as you learn a new job and get used to the long work day etc. but long term I think its fantastic that you will do four days on and four days off, it gives you so much time for mini adventures!
