I agree, somehow trying to include all the critical experience, training and qualifications onto one sheet of paper is a right pain.

Bob, incidently, I also found the HSE have a resource for identification of international HS Organisations.

Ello Donna, good to hear you've been doing other things

Lanzarote sounds just the ticket too, get away from the relentless drizzle!

Cool...sounds like a fun hol, hope you enjoy it and it don't rain

As for CV, should only really be 2 pages just for ease of keeping it together, but then if you've got loads of work experience and the like, you can drop a shite load off like gcse's and a-levels as no one gives a shite bout those do they...

Here I am, back again. I'll be around for a whole week before disappearing once again.

So, what's been going on here?

Bet you're looking forward to having the clan back together then G! Much the same for us - first time we've all been together on Christmas Day for about 5 years too. Total chaos, I imagine.

So, what have you been up to in the last few weeks?

Have fun with xmas you two!

Just realised, this is my first christmas ever without my parents... I don't really care though, christmas doesn't mean much to us.
Can't say I really miss them at all, though sometimes I just call them and chat, which is luckily really cheap these days with phone cards.
It's only been 5 months though! (today!!)

Btw, we wrote xmas cards to all our families (about 25 each )
Started nearly all of them with: 'Well, we've been here nearly 4 months now, times flying.. bla bla bla...'
Anyway, it was nearly 5 months Proves my point though!
