wish I could ask for a payrise Squirrel Chance'd be a fine thing. HAve you got a start date yet?

Squirrel3 · 29/06/2006 09:39

No, I'm getting worried, they said they were waiting for references, I can't see that being a problem, but I was unhappy at my last job so maybe they are refusing a reference. [worried emoticon]

OP posts:

Maybe I should phone them and chase up the references, what do you think?

I think I probably would ring them Squirrel. Its been over a week since they offered you the job hasnt it? (or am I loosing track of time?). Might be good to contact them show that you are really keen and interested still.

Squirrel3 · 29/06/2006 10:17

Just phoned them, the personnel manager has been off sick so hasn't been able to sort out the paperwork, she is going to pop it in the post today so I should know soon. Phew!

Got to admit I was getting worried.

Also phoned the old work place and there will be no problem with a reference, they seemed genuinly pleased to hear from me and wish me well!

NotActuallyAMum · 29/06/2006 11:35

Blimey, what a busy morning! Think my boss has been talking to yours alligator

Glad you spoke to someone about your job squirrel, I would have been a bit concerned too

It's clouded over here now, still dry and very warm though so not complaining

DPs gran was taken to hospital yesterday she's got a kidney infection. Poor dear looks so ill, really hope she's going to be OK. She's hardly eaten for 3 days and she's frail at the best of times. Fingers and everything else crossed that she'll be OK. We're going to see her again later

Squirrel3 · 30/06/2006 08:57

Hope dp's Gran gets better soon Naam.

So sorry to hear about dp's gran NAAM. I hope she's a bit better today.

Squirrel3 · 30/06/2006 09:03

Morning all

Gorgeous sunny day here today, doesn't it make you smile when you see the sun??

DPs gran looked sooooo much better last night, thanks both of you She looked like 'her' again iyswim, big relief to us all. She thinks she's going home today - don't know where she's had that from, wishful thinking we reckon LOL

What's everyone up to at the weekend? It's DPs weekend off I'm going out tonight with my workmates - first time for aaaaages, we're having a BBQ tomorrow night after the football (and a drink or two!) and we're taking PIL out for dinner on Sunday

Squirrel3 · 30/06/2006 12:38

Whoooopie! Dp (after much nagging from me and me thrusting camp-site details into his hand as he left for work this morning) has at last booked our holiday!!!!

It looks like a nice holiday park, there are teen clubs where they can join in a movie maker club, A DJ workshop, sports competitions (just down dss's street, sport mad that one!) and talent shows. There is lazer combat and lazer clay pigeon shooting for him too, three swimming pools (one has a giant 200ft waterslide!) All we need is the weather to stay like this and I will be a very happy Squirrel!

I'm glad dp's Gran is better Naam.

I'm off to top up my tan, catch you later. Byeeeeeeee!

OP posts:
Squirrel3 · 30/06/2006 15:08

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 30/06/2006 15:42

Sun's gone in here again! Still hot though, but I'm fine in my air-conditioned office

Glad you've sorted your holiday Squirrel, sounds like a lovely place

I'm on countdown now, finish at half 4 today

Squirrel3 · 30/06/2006 15:44

I've got a driving lesson at 4, so all of those school kids better watch out!

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 30/06/2006 15:48

dsd's school are off today - flippin' Inset Day!

Hope it goes well

Hope everyone has a good weekend

Squirrel3 · 03/07/2006 07:35

Hope everyone had a good weekend.

Dss told me that he loved me this weekend!!!!!

Well sort off, dp and I were out fishing on the boat on Saturday and dp had asked dss to txt him the football goals. Dp's phone battery died so I phoned dss to txt them on my phone. During the match he sent a txt to say it was 0-0, and "don't you wish you was watching football even though you hate it x".

ME: Awww, was that little x on the end for me or your Dad? See I knew you loved me really!"

DSS: "I always put x's on the end of my txts, dont feel special or anything! lol"

ME: Boo hoo! Now you have gone and shattered all of my illusions!

DSS: Awwwww, I do love you really!

Squirrel3 · 03/07/2006 12:07

PMSL

OP posts:
NotActuallyAMum · 03/07/2006 12:08

Hello all

That's lovely about your dss Squirrel

LOL at alligator being abducted by a computer package

Hope everyone had a good weekend. We did, had dsd's two friends to stay for the first time, it went well. We've gained another one to come on holiday with us! Seemed unfair to leave her out seeing as the 3 of them hang around together

But....I do not want to talk about football!! [sob]

Squirrel3 · 03/07/2006 12:12

Why? Did we lose? Are we out of the cup thingy?

OP posts:
Squirrel3 · 03/07/2006 12:13

BTW Naam, make sure you don't take on too much!

You will be running around after them so much you will need another holiday to get over it!

OP posts:
Squirrel3 · 03/07/2006 12:18

Oooooops! Naam, I was only joking about the football, come baaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
