Enjoy your Tuesday all.
Have an interview this morning. My confidence seems to have vanished, really nervous! I'm trying to think calm thoughts Confused

ponzusoup · 16/05/2017 09:08

Haven't done a job interview in 13 years.

ZiggertyZaggerty · 16/05/2017 09:58

Got the job Smile. I managed to power through most of the nerves.
I now have the afternoon off to lie in the garden recovering from the stress.

DustyDuck · 16/05/2017 15:56

Wow that's good news lost! Always great to find out immediately.
I'm paying for my weekend with ... cystitis. Feel terrible, off work today.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/05/2017 16:28

Oh you poor thing Dusty hope you feel better soon Brew Cake.
I really pay for it if I party hard these days too. We must be getting old! Wink

It's not an amazing job but better money and I have to use my brain more. It is subject to reference checks yet though. Hopefully it will deter me from going in to work in bits from the night before which I can get away with in my present job. Blush

Sorry for rambling, I've started early on the wine.

serialtester · 16/05/2017 17:48

Well done lost!!!

Dusty, you poor thing. Hopefully you'll feel better really soon.

Well done Lost! Great achievement to get a new job. Wish I could, hate mine at the moment despite the free wine moment Hmm Hope you feel better soon Dusty x

Currently slightly French and about to watch the Gunners at The Emirates, that's Arsenal at home in English. Remember the drunken buying Premiership ticket night Confused

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/05/2017 19:55

Have a good time Hooch. Hope you like football Grin
I am very French. Tres ba`tteured.

HoochiMama · 16/05/2017 20:31

I love the Arsenal but they don't play very well when I watch. Currently hiding in the bar Hmm

serialtester · 16/05/2017 21:06

I'd love to be there Hooch!! Loves me a bit of footy. I'm a total lad!

Hello all, hate to be one of those that joins a thread then disappears, however, some very sad news at the end of April has stopped me from posting.

Cue 3x a week calls to friends dealer since then.

Very pissed off at my weakness/ inability to find another coping mechanism than coke

Anyway, not to bring the thread down, well done lost on your job and I'll be sticking around a bit longer this time if that's ok Blush definitely needed!

ZiggertyZaggerty · 16/05/2017 21:11

Wooohoo Lost! sorry, that should that be 'bon felicitations' Grin
Sorry to hear your woes Dusty - it's the fucking worst. I used to suffer constantly and the only thing to help (apart from antibiotics) is to take cranberry capsules every day to keep it at bay and if I have a heavy night I take 3 of them the morning after. Flowers for you, hope you've got some antibiotics now.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 16/05/2017 22:32

Of course you can stick around, Sunshine I'm sorry you've had a bad time lately. Flowers Welcome back x

Thankyou for my bon felicitations and poppers. bed for me. Love you lot

ZiggertyZaggerty · 16/05/2017 23:20

Keep posting Sunshine. I'm sorry you've had rotten news - I'm sure that doesn't help the want to abstain. We are all here to help and spur each other on. Hope you sleep happy tonight.

ponzusoup · 17/05/2017 09:44

Well done lost ace news!

Dusty hope you and your poor bladder are feeling better.

Hoochi did arsenal win ? Once had free tickets to see Coldplay ( they were crap as expected) at the emirates - the stadium was ace.

Sunshine sorry about your news. Hope you can dig deep and find some support here. It's not easy when you feel low but we all know it won't make things better in the long run.

Here's to clear heads and new beginnings.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/05/2017 11:23

Loving your positivite vibes ponzu Smile

Regretting too much wine and sun yesterday. My eyes hurt if I move them. I never learn.

Sunshine we'll hold your hand on your surfboard.This surfing thing is blooming difficult.

ILostItInTheEarlyNineties · 17/05/2017 11:23

I can't spell positive Blush

Morning all. I'm embracing a clear head today after an early night. Are you're feeling more normal today Dusty?
Hope all surfers are riding the waves today Smile

ponzusoup · 18/05/2017 10:48

Slightly post French head here but on the surfboard!

Have a good day all

DustyDuck · 18/05/2017 20:33

Ugh I thought I was over it but it got worse overnight. Got 3 days of antibiotics so guaranteed to be on board all weekend!

ponzusoup · 18/05/2017 21:32

Sending hugs and cranberry juice dusty.
