grin grin grin sunshine

Haven't let falling over the stile while out with the family deter me....brother held my dog while climbed over showing..jumped down and my ankle gave way..nellie on floor with leg in air, seem to have come a cropper a few times recently rushed into the garage to pay for petrol didn't see the step and made an entrance into the BP garage shop by body surfing through the door....no one batted an eyelid.

Smoluski you're a shining example. Phoenix too! So many people give up nowadays - takes a Gransnetter to show 'em that persistence gets you there flowers

Well done!

Smoluski Mon 01-Apr-13 11:56:53

Oh not much chance of that mishap OH is doing a subcontracted SE position that dosent even meet minimum wage so we are going to be worse off,but the feeling of being off benefits is a heady feeling,I like the feeling of being able to earn the money and you don't have to worry if you have committed a fraud accidentally ,you just pay your taxes... But like Del Boy tomorrow we could be millionaires grin it is a lovely thought isn't it sunshine

You'll be so rich you won't know what to do with it all! Well done.

Thank you nightowl
And phoenix have caught up with your news too so congratulations are in order for you too sunshine I wonder if you feel the same as I ..can't believe it dosent seem to have sunk in yet,didn't realise how much time was spent job hunting,and how long it took to be completing countless job applications which require so much deomonstrating your work skills,..was a full time job in itself,still keep going to log on the job sites until I remind myself I don't have to any more....just waiting for the email now with details and confirmation.

Anne58 Mon 01-Apr-13 10:51:46

Oh NellieSmol ! Brilliant news, well done you!

nightowl Mon 01-Apr-13 10:46:50

Congratulations Smoluski, everything comes to she who waits!!! You really do deserve it xx

Smoluski Mon 01-Apr-13 10:46:39

thank you all for your encouragement and kind words,will be working in the little market town of swaffham which is a lovely real old high street with shops as opposed to one stop shopping..I am looking forward to getting to know people by their names and being part of a community,I couldn't face all the hustle and bustle of Lynn or the city,although it is a very busy pharmacy ...hopefully will be able to continue with the voluntary work one day a week as I enjoy it,and the position is part time although waiting to hear how many hours ..it could be up to 30 E goes to school nearby and when dropping OH off to get his bus for lynn we can go for a hot drink before school or meet up after so have some quality time together......am so scared to be this happy and hopeful,it case it gets snatched away againconfused
