Wow thats great news Mary. Hopefully it wont be too long for you now.

Well OH and I sat down on the weekend and discussed the WHAT IF the house doesn't sell. The Result, I have an interview for a part time job at the airport today. Looks like we are preparing for the worst. I cant imagine going back to work as I have been off now for two years!! Thankfully if I get this position, the hours are unusual so hopefully I would need a creche for Mia.

Basty

Fingers crossed Mairead you get the job - but you didn't say what bearing this new job has on the house not selling??

jasb

Do you mean you won't need a creche? They're so stupidly expensive here - I've had to start working at weekends now Then OH can have little one. It's hard trying to multi task.... I'm sure I was born with a man's brain

jasb

Meant to say good luck aswell!

jasb

OK - so I've just noticed the karma thing I've been sent by Mary and Mairead - and that's nice - but what's it all about? Can I send you back good karma? How does it work? I'm a bit dim.... and new to these forum things.

Mairead

Basically if we dont sell the house this year then finances will be very tight so hence the reason I have to go back to work!!!!

Bit slow today!!! Yep hopefully we wont need a creche as there is lots of weekend work with this job also.

You send someone karma if you want to wish them well etc etc or if you like a particular post etc. There is also a link at the top of the page called Karma fun where you can trade with your karma. I'm not too familiar with it though as I have never used it.

jasb

OMG that karma stock trade thing does not make a single bit of sense....I'll never get that going!

Basty

Karma thing??? whats that Please can you enlighten me too

Sorry - I sent this before finishing reading the messages!!!

See the little blue boxes under your name? That's the karma you've been given................i gave you some the other day, won't let me do anymore until i've added to others

loubiegreen

Glad someone else asked cos I had no idea either what that was all about.

MAIREED - Good luck with the job if you need it hun.

All of a sudden, I see the little blue boxes increasing in number!! Too funny!

tiger222

OK, what's a creche? Is it a babysitter? (from USA here)

Mairead

And you gave me none!!! Getting jealous now. ....

Mairead

Well the interview was interesting to say the least. I had to wait outside in the freezing cold and the gailing wind for 50 minutes before I was brought in. I was just about to walk away when I was called for. To say I was fuming :curse::curse: would be an understatement (got no apology either :curse!!! Got the usual stupid interview question eg strengths , weakness etc!!! After looking at my CV, one of the Interviewers proceeds to tell me that she cant understand why I was given my first job when I left school as I was underqualified for it!! Cheek:curse::curse:!!!!! Anyway I answered all their questions which by the way were taking directly from the idiots guide to interviewing, so I hope to hear something next week (well hope is a bit too strong of a word!!).
