Unilateral decision... No space for consultation. Call me Dave...

Does late August work for anybody?

Stropperella · 11/05/2015 21:14

Ahem, have not actually got the job, obvs. Just a sort of interviewish sort of arrangement. Do not hold your breath. :) But it is really uplifting to know that there is possible work out there. I think I will just need to be braver than I was planning on being. :) Off to bed now. Early start tomorrow. Only a few more of these, mind. June the 23rd is the official finish date and only 2 more juicy assignments to complete (and a shedload of loose ends to tie up).

Good luck to you for tomorrow, Stropps. They obviously know quality when they see it SmileSmile

NUFC69 · 11/05/2015 21:21

Just popping in to say well done to Stropps - I am so excited for you. We all know you will be great. Good luck to the exam takers. Rose, you should be thrilled with DD.

I have probably forgotten loads of things, but DH is getting ready for his op tomorrow and I am having mauling thoughts, so can't concentrate too much on what I have just read. Oh, have just remembered that Monty is off to Majorca shortly - have a lovely time and enjoy a paella for me.

Thanks, Crepeys. DH has to be on the ward by 7.30, I will stay with him for a short while and then home to look after DD's two DC for the rest of the day so I will have plenty to keep me occupied! DD said she would take the day off so I didn't have to have the DC, but it will help me. My DSoniL works from home so there is no pressure on me.

Oh, and Happy Anniversary, CV.

MontserratCaballe · 11/05/2015 22:44

NU, sending you and your DH all the very best for tomorrow. I hope everything goes very smoothly and will be thinking of you. Thank you for remembering re Mallorca. I shall raise a glass of sherry in your honour Wine

Good luck to all the exam children tomorrow. Rose, your lovely girl sounds like a star. Proud mama.

Right, I am shattered. Night all X

MrsSchadenfreude · 11/05/2015 22:57

Hope all goes well tomorrow, for NUDH!

lalsy · 11/05/2015 23:07

NU, best wishes to your dh. Good idea to keep busy.

Hatty and Crem, wouldn't it be lovely if we could have a MU with both of you there - has that ever happened?

Auriga · 11/05/2015 23:12

Warmest good wishes to NU and her DH for today. Flowers

Continued high fives to Stropps

Thanks all, re DD. It's a year 10 mock…she won't take the real thing until next summer of course.

Today I am teaching a woman only class this morning, and then to the theatre to teach a group for HerrD

Flowers for NU and NUDH

NUFC69 · 12/05/2015 10:01

I am home and DH was in a fetching printed robe when I left. Waiting for DGC to come and help take my mind off things. I have to ring after 2. I did have a little weep in the car on the way home. DH has agreed to take part in a research project re medication afterwards - something to do with aspirin (there was a recent report in the media about it) which will entail monthly visits to the research department. Nurse almost fell on his neck when he said he would take part.

lalsy · 12/05/2015 10:28

Good for NuDH, it can be difficult to recruit people. I hope the time passes quickly for you today NU and you have a nice time with DGC. Flowers

cremolafoam · 12/05/2015 12:28

Sorry I disappeared last night -I crashed out early and woke up on the sofa at 3am shivering. Dh just went to bed and left meAngry

NU I very much hope all went well at admissions this morning for dh. It's quite stressful just checking in. Hand holding with you during the wait. Thanks

MollyAir · 12/05/2015 12:31

Thanks for NU and your dh - being part of a research project means he will get lots of close attention. Hope the dgc take your mind off it all. Love the sound of Rudy and her mum making a pair of curtains. The trials of wimmin, and how we cope with them.

Late August would be good for a MU for me, hattie. Results day is 13 Aug and after that, nothing scheduled at present. I imagine others' results days are similar, and you are meant to be within reach of the school on those days, so you can fully panic.

bigTillyMint · 12/05/2015 13:04

GCSE results day is 20th Aug, gulp!

Good on your DH for volunteering NU. Hope all is OK.

motherinferior · 12/05/2015 13:21

Can I just say I've done my Ladyjog (second of the week - must go and get new shoes as I think these are knackering my knee) and another 1,000 words.
