"Wish me luck as you wave me goodbye!"

Evening all, hope all is well with you.

I'm not sure if I will be back here until next weekend, when week 1 of my 2 week induction ends, depends on company policy re. using their laptops for anything other than work!

I would like to thank ALL those G'netters who sent supportive messages though my year long job hunt, and if you possibly could send out an extra positive thought for sometime tomorrow (April 2nd) late afternoon, it would be very much appreciated!

I have sort of packed my case, there will no doubt be a few last minute things, but even so there is bound to be something that I forget.

I will be confronting my BIG demon tomorrow, in that I will have to drive from Enfield (having travelled from Devon by train) to Manchester, in a car that I will never have driven before, on a route that I have (again) never driven before, and with 3 passengers. (I would sooo much rather do it alone)To be blunt, I'm almost sh**ting myself at the very thought of it.

However, I realise that I have a piece of plastic and a piece of paper that says I am allowed to do this, and do it I will!

(And if I make that ok, then on to Nottingham, before DRIVING 5.5 hours from there to home on Friday)
