An update for everyone who read and replied to my thread earlier.
I had the interview at Noon and she called me at 4 to tell me that I had the job! She interviewed 5 of us so I was sure I wouldn't get it.
She said she was so impressed with my interview that she has spoken to her general manager and she wanted to know if I would be interested in doing shifts on reception too! It's in a sports club. I've said that I am available evenings and weekends and I start tomorrow!
She said that a customer service qualification could be a possibility.
The kids are so excited for me. I am yet to tell DH. I intend telling him face to face so I can see his reaction.
I've also been researching where I stand financially. I have decided that for now, I am going to stop trying to convince DH to put the money in a joint account but encourage him to get it all into the bank in his name. I think this will reassure him that I don't want to spend it. At least this way, if we were to separate in the future, all money is visible even if it isn't in my name. From what I've read, it is irrelevant whose name it is in, they are considered joint assets and I would be entitled to at least 50% anyway.
I'm feeling positive and although it is only a small step, it is a step in the right direction.
Thank you again to everyone who contributed.
