To shamelessly ask you to pray/manifest whatever you do, my dream job?

As the title says really -
interviewed for my dream job last week, and was called last night saying I was an ideal candidate and that I was more than appoint-able, but there was someone else with a little more experience than me who scored the same as me who they had to offer the post to first - but he’s unsure if he wants it.
it’s a very niche role offering services at a regional level (south east based)
not only is it my dream job, in terms of the work I’d be undertaking. Ita a raise and would allow me to leave H, who has a bit of a temper and I’d love to be able to buy him out the house. The seniority would also mean Monday to Friday working, and weekends and bank holidays at home for DD, ability to take AL in school hols, and the ability to work a bit more flexibly to attend school events which I don’t currently have
it would absolutely change my life.
the chap has until Friday midday to make up his mind and they’ll get back to me at 1400 on Friday.

wibu to ask for any support or well wishes that would hopefully lead to the chap getting a better offer or realising this job isn’t for him!

thanks for listening to my ramble

I don't think you can outsource your manifesting - it's more of a DIY thing. But good luck!

Oh my goodness - I missed this earlier - what FABULOUS news!

Llongyfarchiadau as we say in my neck of the woods - congratulations!

See, I had a feeling you would get a call today! Excellent, time to start thinking about a first day outfit and all of your other lovely future plans for you and your DD - I am beyond thrilled for you. 💜

Thank you and good luck! Hope the bribes worked! ❤️❤️❤️

Aww thanks - they did! All submitted now and closing date is one minute to midnight today, so my anxious wait starts then! Really hope they manage to do the initial soft before the weekend as the interview date is 13 October!

Congratulations! I couldn’t be more delighted for a stranger online.

twobabiesandapup · 25/09/2025 11:05

YIPPEEEEEE!!!! I have been very invested in this and hoping that you would have a positive update! Congratulations OP, brilliant news! Onwards and upwards now 🥂

Eyes, legs, toes, fingers, arms - everything crossed for you!

So I think he's going to have a conversation with his family tonight and they'll point out why it's not ideal for him - after all, if it was ideal he wouldn't have to think about it. So he'll let them know tomorrow and then they will CALL YOU!

And then we can all get excited with you and think about lovely things like what you're going to wear on your first day, and how long before you'll be able to get rid of NotDH and how brilliant it will be to be able to attend some fun school stuff at Christmas for your DD. Manifesting, manifesting, manifesting!

I'm about to leave the house to go and grab a pizza and a glass of wine to bribe myself to finish my application for a brilliant role... closes at midnight tomorrow and it would be amazing... but it's a bloody long application form, hence the bribing!!!

Thank you and good luck! Hope the bribes worked! ❤️❤️❤️
