I'm unable to send you a private message. Why is that? Am concerned. confused

Smoluski If you had a little office you could sit in there with your laptop posting to Gransnet, and letting the cleaning go to b***ery.

Smoluski Thu 22-Nov-12 18:47:48

That is exactly why I wondered ,I could relay all the stories as they unfolded,just think of all the material...wonder if the job has been snatched up yet. grin

merlotgran Thu 22-Nov-12 20:37:06

Let us know where it is, Nellie and we'll get up a coach party grin

Smoluski Thu 22-Nov-12 20:52:03

That's brilliant merlot will everyone be carrying big handbags full of goodies ,and I will make the teams lav vy will be so spotless you could eat off the floor,mind you will have to keep me pinny on for elf and safety but will make sure me mop and bucket is in the cupboard,and so I don't smell of jeyes pine disinfectant will have a little spray around with eau de toilet...grin

soop Fri 23-Nov-12 12:40:10

Ah...but would you let us limbo dance or vault over the turnstyle, Nellie...or would you let us in for a cut-price pee? grin

Smoluski Fri 23-Nov-12 18:06:04

soop b.o.g.o.f grin

Ana Fri 23-Nov-12 18:07:08

Two for the price of one? Sounds fair to me...wink

NellieSmol You are such a laff! Did you get a yay or nay re the job you were hoping for? You're in my thoughts such a lot. smile

Smoluski Sat 24-Nov-12 17:12:36

Thank you for asking it I assume was a nay as it is customary not to bother to let applicants know,but have seen the women who went in after me at the till working,think I may have been overdressed as wearing my nice red coat and a scarf,smart trousers,and nice little suede ankle boots with a cheeky bow on the side,in black,Madame behind me wore a fleece,and jeans,and trainers,seems as I may have got it a tad wrong dress wise confused .
Did have a nice civilised letter from Haven books where I applied as a body in the offices,telling me I was unselected,probably past my sell by date,but good luck in my chosen careergrin
That letter really cheered me up so friendly...even if it was a thanks but no .

Ana Sat 24-Nov-12 17:15:49

Oh dear, sorry you didn't get it, nellie sad

Don't let it put you off though - there is a wonderful job out there for you somewhere, it's just a case of finding it! Good luck for future applications.

Smoluski Sat 24-Nov-12 17:20:48

Ana Sat 24-Nov-12 17:21:53

NellieSmol BIG warm (((hugs))) Always present yourself as a worthy winner. When the time is right, you will succeed. smile

Smoluski Sun 25-Nov-12 15:15:59

Thank you all for your support,having been out today all poshed up came home straight into comfy pj'sand hoody...my excuse don't want ginger dog hairs on my black clothes...
I am in love...
With the shoes I saw in clarkes..heather coloured suede court shoes,cut colour,feel ...drool...I need them in my cupboard,have a lovely wine coloured velvet dress to go with.....very slinky...[dreamy greedy face]

merlotgran Sun 25-Nov-12 15:21:52

Ditto the dogs' hairs, NellieSmol. Our dogs are mostly white so if I'm wearing black I charge through the back door shouting, 'DOWN, DOWN' until I reach the safety of the bedroom. Quick change into something sloppy and then they can have a cuddle.

Smoluski Sun 25-Nov-12 15:29:35

Exactly the same merlot have a black lab and colour coordinated accordingly,the ginger mutt accompanying my son,has thrown a spanner in the works,but I cannot say down dogs and have to have a cuddle as I charge in the door dispensing treats as I go love my doggies...my outward appearance is at odds with the other appearance.. ....like the other one bestgrin love nellie compoxxx

soop Sun 25-Nov-12 16:03:53

NellieSmol Those shoes...what with Christmas and a birthday coming up, why not drop some very heavy hints. You deserve a treat. smile

annodomini Sun 25-Nov-12 16:22:02

Smol, reminds me of when I had a ginger cat and a black one. Ginger one would make a beeline for anyone wearing a dark outfit and the black one favoured anyone wearing white. Contrary beasts, cats.

Smoluski Sun 25-Nov-12 16:39:45

Oh I have soop my darling son wanted to buy them for me,but E was throwing a hissy fit,have to play low key with her this time of year otherwise an absolute a**e,will try on when in town next and they may have to fall into my shopping bag...or they could be my present...to me grin

anno dogs have people..cats have staff,grin

soop Mon 26-Nov-12 12:25:06
