Phoned up this morning about a job, and now have an interview-this afternoon.
Its for a cake company, ive been doing cakes from home for about 4 years so ive dug out my portfolio, have got to rush into town to get some more recent cake pics developed.
I havent been in work for 5 years-Im shitting myself, for a start what do i wear-Im thinking smart trues with a nice knitwear top.

Well Done You, youll be fine when you find the car keys....maybe get some rescue remedy when your out, spray it on your tongue it calms you down.

hotmama · 04/01/2006 12:03

Well done! Just remember to breathe deeply and remain calm - and have confidence in yourself.

Best of luck - lets us know how you get on! Trews and a top sound fine.

My keys are locked in the car-hubby is furious, am waiting for my mum to come round and rescue me!
A day in the life of me, expect anything

Am back. Interview went very well-was a double interview with another girl who was very nervous. Although I felt for her it did make me look a bit more cool calm and collected-I hope thats what he was looking for.
Ive got to go in tomorrow for a trial day-hope it all goes well.

Ha ha!!! just got home from my trial day and I got the job!!

I start on monday, work 3 days 9 until 2. This is such a great job, fits in around DS and I enjoy it. money isnt great but will go up the better I get. In anycase it pays for DS nursery so that is good.

Well done!!!

TambaTheDragonSlayer · 05/01/2006 17:38

Well Done!

Your cakes are fab! We always have one made for the boys birthdays but they are never as good as that.

Its ds2's birthday soon - where are you based?

Please say birmingham!

biglips · 05/01/2006 17:40

brillant - open a bottle to celebrate (and a piece of cake too lol)!

nickiey · 05/01/2006 19:03

Thanks guys, its sooooo nice to have some positive feedback-dh wasnt too keen on my going back to work but we really need to money and the hours wont affect ds too much.
I told my mum and my sis (both SAHM) and all they said was, "well what about ds?" He is at nursey anyway 5 days a week until 1, it is only an extra hour on 3 days fgs!!!

Anyway im based in Essex Tamba, so not really too close!!!!
I just had such a good day, feeling like a "real" person doing something im good at and enjoy-im so not an office person.
This is just fab fab fab-I wasnt even looking for work, I had planned to wait until ds was in proper school but if I hadnt taken this opportunity I know that in 2 years time I'd just be bored stiff in some office job that meant nothing to me-This job might actually lead to a career, not something I ever thought I'd have.
