I hear about today's next Wed as they still have interviews next week to do.

You're right Reccie, I am more interested - but what is a wee bit surprising is that before this morning, of all the jobs, this is the one i was least keen for. But the folks seemed very nice, the office is to die for (bootiful old school conversion with other offices and organisations living under the same roof - REALLY nicely done)... and i dunno... it was just on the whole more positive in the vibe. AND it was in edinburgh... as i was driving back, i just FELT that this was where I'd much rather be than up back in Aberdeen/Shire (as much as i hold affection for Aberdeenshire in particular)

Interview 3 tomorrow arvo. Numero 4 on Monday arvo. *phew*

And if I don;t get any :egad: I'll worry about that then...

How is the biter/chewer/pooper/peer extraordinaire?!

Must read posts properly. That just didn't sink in.

How's our new Daddy?

Hiya Jackie!

Well, I took amy to Woodstock for the first of her 3 lots of vaccinations today, so I'm the best part of a hundred squids poorer. :upset: Other than that, everything's fine. Sounds like you had a good day - I reckon the break from work has done you a power of good cos you're sounding a lot more positive lately. When are you due back? Oh, and I almost forgot to let you know amy really likes your present, so much so that I'm gonna get some more for her once she's run out.

Wal de Mart :H:H bit like Primani over here.

I do feel loads better, Reccy. Done me the world of good playing wifey for a couple of weeks.

Going in to do a bit of scanning Saturday.

We paid about ?120 up front at our vets so Bess gets her boosters and a wee check up each year with no added fee.

Edinburgh is nice and I think they have a variety of running races there.

Six days isn't too bad - I once waited 4 months (and got the job!) - but it's always a tricky time waiting to hear the outcome of an onterview.

Gawd....I took her outside a few minutes ago and she emptied her bowels and now that we're back inside, she's emptied her bladder. :upset: Sorry, was that TMI?

Adverts for job vacancies can be incredibly misleading. Interviews are, or should be, as much about you finding out about the job as the prospective employer finding out about you. It goes without saying that I hope they offer you the job.

Yer darn tootin! 3 marathons (Meadows, rock n roll, and Edinburgh marathon festival)... Plus a wee hill in the centre of toon.

Why it's called Arthur's seat is beyond me.
Imagine the size of Arthur's arse :egad:
Would put me to shame.
Have to rename me SkinnyArse

That's really good value Jackie...I think I need to find a less expensive vet. Been considering it for a while actually.

Don't think there's a cheap vet anywhere.

My bessie mateis married to ours. We only get 10% off when he's on duty and I still have to leave one of the kids as security until the bill's paid.

Ha ha, I remember the novelty character slippers.

Kindda glad I don't have to go back to halls this time around.

Vets are expensive because they are Drs to several species, not just one and you have to be even better than a human Doc.

My mother spends a fortune on her cats, they even have dentistry and special toothpaste.:H
