I got a job!
 
Oh and we bought a car! :thumbsup:

I applied for 7 jobs on Monday, had an interview for one yesterday and was offered the job today! :rofl: I'm still in a state of shock. Having been in the same job for the last 9 years in the UK the whole experience was quite nerve racking. The job is as a Reservations Agent in a hotel in Whistler and it's a completely new position so I'll be able to make it my own. I have to go to a "sister" hotel in Vancouver for 2 weeks for training so it will be quite hard being away from hubby, considering we only just got here, but a job's a job.

And we put a deposit down on a Ford Escape 4x4 and will collect it next week once our money has been transferred over. Fingers crossed the $CDN doesn't take a nose dive!

So it's all going well so far.
