New thread...

MI, ouch.

Good luck, BD and MrsS!

Molly, sorry for poking your sore spot by mentioning That Book. If it's any consolation, I'm a bit less impressed by it now I've realised that according to said book, my dd comes into the "but if your child is one of the small minority who will do XYZ, all you can do is call the police" category. And thanks for the info about your ds's abdominal migraines. I suspect dd's headache travails are triggered by hormones, stress and lack of sleep. But I am not allowed to say any of that, obvs. We are visiting the GP tomorrow so that he can tell her instead.

BTM, sorry to hear that things haven't run smoothly today. Will talking to dd's teacher do any good, do you think? Or does she not want you to get involved?

All the best for tomorrow, GGG.
Rose, I'd love to come but will only just be back from four days away and probably need a night in with family. Hope it goes well.

Really good luck MrsS and BD!

I was surprised how little is really known about the causes of migraine. The very dull keeping a (retrospective - fill in the 24-48 hours before, after an attack) diary really helped, as it confirmed some triggers and proved others blameless. And helped us start to spot the signs more, which sometimes meant he could dodge the bullet.

Rose, I would love to - and think it is splendid you want crepeys there - but Sundays are usually our only family meal atm....

Good luck Mrs S and BD . Will check back in later when on proper computer as am too fumbly on phone.

Do BD and MrsS both have interview today? All my hopes, and am crossing everything ...

Tilly it'll calm down??DD will tell you when she realises that the only people really on her side are her folks. Its such a weird teenage thing, isn't it. Not letting anyone who wants to help in but then blaming them for not helping or understanding??

Thanks you all...Crepeys interested in coming to the reading?? Giddy MrsS and Molly??hopefully I will have the confirmation soon and will PM details. DH and I are having a planning discussion as we have to work out how many people we can fit in, given that the cast is not small and there a director, me and ConS and it's just my not- very- huge suburban house...

I'm very confused about who is being interviewed. Good luck, fingers crossed and Crepey-power to all. (Apologies for any confusion) I am tired.

Hello! Sorry I have been swollen. Hard week but brightened immeasurably by coffee and cake with Rose on Wednesday. Yay for mini meet ups.

Will read properly after the school run as have ditched ladyjog in favour of lying on the bed drinking tea. In the meantime, huge amounts of luck to all interviewing crepeys

Hm. I was AWOL rather than swollen. Bloody phone.

Loving the idea of being swollen...... Cremo, Mrs S is going for her second interview this week, the first job she didn't want as much as the one she is interviewing for today and BD is interviewing today, but I'm not sure if it's internal, as part of the horrible process, or an interview to Get Out of the horrible process and go somewhere else.....See, clear as mud!

Here, the traffic is horrendous but lovely to look at. It's the Goodwood Revival so every old sports car in zooming in, filled with people dressed in Vintage clothes.....makes going about your daily business quite tricky!

I would like it on record that I have Ladyjogged/Ladysplashed every single morning this week. My knees are creaking in response, of course, but I do feel smug.

Monty, when are you going to Sid open day?

Good luck to all interviewees today. I too have to confess to confusion. Is GGG doing something too? Where am I doctor...

Talking of confusion, I keep reading fleetingly about using various acids on our faces to stimulate new cells, or something. But I can't work out, and can't be bothered to read the massive thread on the subject, which ones one should use, how often, blah blah. And, indeed, whether it's all a load of old cobblers.

Right. Back to the job trawl.

I am confronting with some horror my teaching schedule for next term. I am in a department with Real Journalists, ones who know what they are talking about. They've written books about it and everything. How on earth am I going to last a day without being detected as Appalling Fraud and being shown the door????

Yes, you're right, GGG is also interviewing. Sorry, GGG......

On the other end of the Ph spectrum, I'm tempted by the new Body Shop facial oil. Has anyone tried it?

I am well of your teaching gig, MI. It's honestly looking here like I really have wasted the past year, and over £10,000.

As for your 'proper' journalists, just turn up the bullshit-o-meter to max and fake it till you make it!

Herbs, you honestly haven't wasted it. It may take time to come good, though.

Think I may have added to interview confusion...meant to say good luck to MrsS and BD too.

Hope the interviews went well.

Herbs, MI is right - don't give up - keep on at it!

MI, you will be fine of course - they wouldn't have asked you if they thought you couldn't do it!

I am loving the sun today

My new Giddiness - or maybe my new Goatness - has confused you all.. I had my interviews earlier this week - and found out today I have been accepted to do this training I want to do - very pleased!

Waiting to hear how you got on Mrs S and BD...

Happy weekend everyone.

Well done GGG

Way to go, Giddy !

What of the others? No word yet?

Hurrah!

Have calmed down. Thank you.

Well done GGG

Thank you everyone, your good wishes and congrats mean a lot - when I told dh he said "Well of course you got in..." which made me rather cross

GGG congrats (although DH is right - of course you got in :) )
Pretty sure I haven't got it as I haven't heard and they said they'd phone. Annoyingly if I haven't its all my own fault as they clearly thought I was well qualified, but I gave a rubbish account of myself and definitely did not sell myself.

Damn and blast....
