Yesterday I went to my non-interview to register with a recruitment agency, she just asked me to complete a form saying that I was happy for them to look for a job for me.
We also discussed my salary expectations and what sort of work I was looking for...
...basically Im not too fussy as long as it is local :)
While on my way home (I happened to walk past my favourite chocolate shop), and saw a sign in the window that they were after a sales advisor, so I went in and gave them my CV :) I even mentioned that I was a member of their chocolate tasting club...
...and if by some miracle I get an interview then I will mention the dream that I had 6 years ago :)
That is bound to sway them :)
despite being a chocoholic I have managed to lose 4 and a half stone in 12 months. This is my diary of the highs and lows of trying to keep the weight off (or at least under reasonable control).

interview ready for my non interview
I am all dressed in my interview clothes (I have had to put a belt into my trousers now as I have lost enough weight to make them fall down if I jiggle about enough :o))
I have got my passport, P45 (for my NI number) and DBS check with me :)

bags by the door ready
Its Evies first day back at school today after the half term holiday...
...her swimming bag and book bag are by the front door ready :)
As she has Gym Trail today I will try to make sure that I take her PE bag tonight (she has PE tomorrow) when I pick her up (as otherwise she will have too much stuff to take back to her classroom as she will be carrying her swimming bag too).

she said it was pleasant meeting me
I was checking my e-mails and saw that I got one about the interview I had on Tuesday last week, she said I was unsuccessful and it was pleasant meeting with me., perhaps I will mention it in my next interview :)
I am not too bothered about not getting the job as I think that with upto 4 people working in a small room we would have got to know each other quite well :)
Im guessing that I didnt have enough accounts experience (I worked in the accounts building of a large corporation as a YTS when I was 16),

good job I read what to expect
A week and a bit ago I applied for a job through a job agency...
...the recruitment lady rang me up and at the end of the conversation she said that they would like me to go to their office to register with them.
She sent me an e-mail confirming this and attached was a link to read that would explain what would happen.
I have to take my passport and NI number and my reference details, it also said to dress as if I was going to an interview!
And I may be expected to take some tests as well (but Im not too sure about that one).
It does make sense :)

three DVDs
The other day I downloaded Trolls album, and on Friday I played the music for us on my smartphone before we got up :)
Evie told me that she wanted to watch the film, so I asked her if she wanted me to buy it and she said no..
She also said last week (on Monday) that she wanted to see Sing so I said that we could go and see it at the cinema as it was being shown as a kids club movie (she told me that her baby dolly wanted to see it) then on Tuesday morning she decided that dolly didnt want to see it after all!
Then she told me that she wanted to see Ballerina...
...so today we went into HMV and bought the DVDs we havent watched any of them yet, perhaps we can watch one tomorrow (as her school has a teacher training day).

lunches and school trip
Last week when Evie was back to school after having chicken pox, there was a letter in her bag about her very first school trip :)
It said in the letter that .the trip can be paid for on scopay its the same system that is used to book her (at the moment) free school lunches.
So I asked Evie if she liked all of her school lunches and she said yes, I then told her what lunch the school will provide for her school trip and she said that she would like me to do her a packed lunch :)
The letter also asked if I would like to volunteer to be a parent helper, so I said "yes" :)
All of her lunches have now been booked and her school trip has been paid for :)
