Yesterday Evie had her eye check up at the hospital...
...she rattled off all of the letters with no problems with her right eye, but with her left eye she was clearly guessing the letters.
So she is getting new glasses and she is getting an appointment for 8 weeks time (when she is wearing her new glasses) and luckily it co-incides with the half term holidays to see if she can see the letters better.
It takes 2 weeks for her glasses to be made up so I will wait for the text message to say that they are ready to collect.

holiday and interview #13
We went on holiday... :)
We had one minor hiccup and that was with a show we had prebooked at the travel agents...
...they said that we didnt need to include travel but we did, and because we had booked another trip on the day that the company booked through would do the travel from where we were staying we had to rebook the show (with travel in the resort).
I told the travel agents wht had happened and they asked me to save my receipts and to go in. I went in the day after we had returned home and someone was supposed to come back to me on Friday...
...but I havent heard anything from them yet...
...and talking of not hearing anything I never heard back from interview #12 - I told the bloke that I was going away the following week for a week so I thought that perhaps he was waiting for me to come back.
And the day after I came back from holiday I had my interview #13 - I knew that I wouldnt get the job when she asked if I would work over Christmas? I was totally honest and said that I probably couldnt as the after school/out of school holiday club (that Im hoping to use) is closed between Christmas and New Year.
I will keep on applying for jobs :)

Interview #12 - he liked my e-mail address
Yesterday was my 12th job intervew....
...I think it went well.
There were no oddball questions :)
I was asked how my insurance skills would transfer to the job and I mentioned "that I can pick up on discrepancies, run reports, and put empty files on top of a store cupboard"
He also said that because the store had to keep costs down the pay would be the minimum wage and he asked me if I was ok with this, and I said that as "I havent worked for 5 years "I cant be picky and choosie" so its fine" :).
He also said that the job was really popular and that I was in their shortlist of 3 people :)
I will find out on Monday if I have got the job.

bubbles and english test
On Friday I got an e-mail from a fashion retailer asking me to complete (what I thought was an English test).
It was actually 8 scenarios and I had to say what I think is the best/worst way to respond (in English).
I will have to see if they invite me for an interview...
Today me & Evie did bubble rush :)
Luckily she didnt need me to give her a piggy back ride but she did make James carry her to McDonalds :)
And I have another interview (its with a retail store as an admin person Tuesday to Friday 12 pm to 5 pm) and that is on Wednesday :)

Will.i pass
The other day I applied for a job with a value fashion retailer (part time Monday to Friday 3 pm to 7 pm).
I got an e-mail this morning asking me to complete an English assessment:). I have a week to complete it.
I do hope I pass :)
two macs
Me & Evie went into town yesterday with the intention of buying a rain mac and a t-shirt (for school).
One of the shops that I was still to try was Matalan...
...so we headed there
We found the girls clothes...
...Evie found a raincoat that she liked, but they didnt have her size. I then found this (for school) and this (for home) and she has promised me that she will wear both of them :).
On the t-shirt front James has ordered three online the only age he could get is 7-8 so he has ordered three (one for this year, one for next year and a spare one :)).
I just have to get her feet measured now and I will do that at the beginning of September and then we will have to buy school shoes and tap shoes.
Her plimsolls, trainers and wellies are already the next size up so I at least dont have to worry about buying those :)

hugdent
Me & Evie went into town yesterday...
...I have been buying her school uniform for September (I managed to get the majority of it from Sainsburys school uniform shop).
The only things I need to buy now is a light blue t-shirt for PE (which I think we are going to have to order online) and a raincoat.
The only raincoats that they had when I looked in Sainsburys were either age 5-6 or 9-10 (I even checked the boys sections also), I looked in Primark also and they didnt have her size either.
Back to being in town...
...we were just coming out of a shop and Evie got a hug from our dentist :) I have to book our next appointment soon.
Today we are going to look in Matalan, I also have Asda to check before I end up getting something online.
