Her mum died recently, dont know if you saw that!

[Mrs Dobby]

Oooh, I am remembered, I feel honoured!!!

Sorry for the absence guys n gals, been busy job hunting, it seems lots of folks get worried if you quit a job and then start looking, even if you know your stuff and are obviously right for the role! Mind you, having interviews when still carrying around all the baggage of what happened to me at my last place didnt do me any favours, so after November I took it easy thru December, then really put my mind to finding a new role, had 10 interviews in last 2 weeks, 2 2nd stages!

Have submitted 500+ applications, for anything from Department Manager, thru Deputy Manager to Store Manager and Area Manager, had 40+ interviews, 10 2nd stages, and finally today got offered a job! ))))))

They have offered me £2500 above the advertised rate, and it has a monthly bonus that could potentially put me up on my previous salary, plus are an expanding company with the chance of progression to Regional Management within 2 or 3 years! Even better its Sundays off every week and store is open 9-6, so no more late nights!

Still have another 2nd stage interview tba, and to hear from 2 other interviews, plus have another 5 interviews arranged for next 2 weeks, so potentially like buses 3 offers could come at once! lol!

Anyhows, sorry for the absence, but Ive been hard at it finding a new job, normality will resume shortly, whatever that is!

PS Gratz on MOMship CardifSteve, very well deserved!

[Hazel at the Hill]

I would really love to see Boble back on here and Hazel at the Hill, there are loads of others but I just can't think at the moment.

Cooee! We ain't all dead, you know! I pop in every few days & enjoy seeing what's going on and I comment if I feel I have something to contribute. I don't do FB, but keep in touch with one or two of your MIA grapes via blogging.

It's a natural process, people join, carry the torch for a year or two then fadeaway to be replaced by new members. We members of long standing still contribute occasionally and often watch from the stands so most are still "about" .

Hullo you!

BOO

Good grief - and you!

[Hans Mum]

Her mum died recently, dont know if you saw that!

no i didnt.....thats really sad news & probably explains why she's not about
