Well, my advert went in the national magazine on Friday and I have one response on Friday night and I am off for an interview tomorrow.  Will mean a big move for the boys and I but will be a fabulous move for all of us too if I am successful in getting the position.    Please keep everything crossed for me!!

Interview went very very well, all very positive, infact its all a bit surreal!.  My current boss apparently has given me an amazing reference.  Have a couple more hurdles to get over yet but have a great feeling about this.

Thought I had better give you all a little update.  Going back down south for further meetings re the job I had an interview for - this is a really exciting position and fingers toes and paws crossed I really hope it happens, hopefully by the end of the month I will know if I have secured it or not.  Its a very strange position to be in as it was me that placed the advert in situations wanted and got a reply, I am actually the only person in for the position!  Anyway if successful I will be moving south in March and plan just to temp in the meantime.

I didn't get an interview for the position at the vets which I am quite pleased about after the stories I have heard!!

Congrats Cozwaz... and continuing to keep fingers and toes crossed.  The second interview may be with other individuals, to try to ensure a proper "fit" between all key players, even if you are the only one in the running.  I'm sure you'll rock it, and they would be foolish not to take you!  Thanks for the update... continue to let us know.

Whoops previous post posted too quickly!

Anyway I really do think this will be my dream job working as PA to an amazing Lady who I have got on brilliantly from the first day we met.  I am so excited and can't wait to get started in March.   The Lady is part of a very well known family over here who have a huge estate, fantastic walking for the dogs, they are going to love it!  There is also alot of potential for me especially with learning lots of new things.  Job comes with a lovely old house in a stunning village which I am moving into a week before I start work.

Removal quotes are in and I have started sorting stuff which is going/being thrown out etc already - 14 weeks to go until move day!

In the meantime, I have found a temp job which is hopefully going to see me through until I move.  Got it through a friend and start on Monday - its perfect as no stress, flexi hours, similar pay to what I was on but 5 less hours a week but that doesn't matter for three months.

Life is looking great Smiley

Congrats Coz!  That is sounding awesome!!!!  I must say that starting to prepare for the move 14 weeks out is admirable... I'm a procrastinator and do my best work under pressure.  I start with the best of plans to do like you are, and just never am able to pull it off.  I'm envious of those of you who can!  (and I keep hoping that I will change and be successful so i keep trying to emulate y'all!)  Really sounds like an awesome deal... house included?!  Just hoping that there are no surprises of the terrible sort in the works.  Congrats again!  And to have  a temp job to carry you through is even better!
