Today I did an aptitude test. Exactly the same verbal reasoning one as I did on Thurs. Will be interesting to see whether I’ve managed to correct any of the questions I got wrong the other day, or whether I’ve … Continue reading →

I am so proud, my old school has made it into the BBC online news. Nice to see that the pupils are Internet literate.

1 to go. Made it with time to spare today, so obviously learnt from yesterday about how much time I need to leave to navigate a strange town to find a parking place! Cautiously optimistic about the interview – I … Continue reading →

as things are rather hectic. As most of you know, I’m in the swing of trying out for jobs. I’ve been putting 2 – 3 applications in a week (sometimes 2 – 3 in a day!) and it’s beginning to … Continue reading →

Nic doesn’t love me any more.

I’m making a list, I’m checking it twice…. sorry. I’m actually just trying to motivate myself to leave the house. I realised that, barring taking the bin out , I haven’t left the house since last Saturday when I shopped. … Continue reading →
