Doing the same, slightly more money in the next hospital from where I am - LOL
Sharon wrote: "Doing the same, slightly more money in the next hospital from where I am - LOL"Well I'll be keeping everything crossed for you next Wednesday. Now what are you going to wear? Have you worked out your script, are all your exam results up to date with your cv? Do you have a briefcase - not the huge things one immediately thinks of when the word briefcase is mentioned, more classy, sort of like an upmarket folder? If not does anyone you know have one you could borrow. Do they do executive Goth clothing?
Yeah it's called black skirt and blouse - lol New, ordered them the other day. ;o)
Wont take no brief case - have to slip out in my lunch break next week, so can't look to suspicious. They know I am working here hence they said in my lunch break. Will change tops in toilet and go out as if I am going for lunch.
lol, so it is! http://www.urbandictionary.com/ this expands on that a little more adding a little touch of chic!

Cloak and dagger expert, excuses my specialty, and bloody good ones at that. There was a woman on the television the other night selling alibi's for married men and women who need valid paperwork and contacts in case the wife or husband checks up on them!
If I were to go into business for myself that would be my choice, that or private detective/store detective I can spot a thief at 40 paces and I have a natural knack for spotting adulterers. Probably takes one to know the signs- all in the past now I'm a happy attached person most of the time and far too old for all that cloak and dagger. And with my dodgy knees running is difficult!
The position is for a Senior Medical Secretary for a Gastroenterologist. :o)
Well done!,congrats! Sharon! I'll keep my fingers crossedI have good news as well, remmember that thriller type of story that I wrote for Olivia publishing, well I entered into a small competition and won!!!

fifteen pounds, a little but like tesco (or asdas, can't remember which) every little helps.By the way, I found this and I thought you should submitt some of your poems, they pay a dollar a poem but you've been getting yours published for nothing.

to tell you the truth, I'm bored out of my mind! I need to get a job soon!
There will be one coming up here soon ;o)

No, really! Wow, that's fantastic Eva, glad to have been of service, what did you win? Sorry I just saw that you won Asda or Tesco vouchers.
Sharon wrote: "The position is for a Senior Medical Secretary for a Gastroenterologist. :o)"Ooh pooh, stomach stuff and pooh too!
Morning, sorry about that, I suppose all medicine has it's gory side and they do interesting stuff too, like shoving cameras both up and down! On that note I'll stop.
Yes something like that lolMorning Tony

I need to get a job soon!"Not easy in this day and age, lots of opportunities with looking after the elderly here, mainly those with Alzheimer's-it's what Jo does, she used to be an internet banker pulling a 30k a year salary and now she gets the SMIC and cleans up after incontinent old dears, and takes them for walks, plays trionimos with them sometimes they can't remember who they are, never mind who she is!
Here is the weather forecast from Brittany today...The sun has got his hat on, hip hip hooray, the sun has got his hat on and he's coming out to play.The dog keeps picking his ball up and looking at me appealing to my better nature- I am not spending all morning throwing a ball down the garden for him or nobody. Sophie has gone to the zoo with the holiday school group for the day and his nibs is at work!
Sharon wrote: "Yes something like that lolMorning Tony"
Morning Tony, how wonderful not to be cold today, and I am pleased for Sophie because the last time we visited the zoo with Alain it p****d it down from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We were soaked to the skin!
I am going to start looking for things to do when Jo brings the boys up in July.
Talking of holidays any idea when you will be coming over for your sejour? So I know how much time I have to get the painting finished and shove Alain into finishing the tiling on the upstairs bathroom, he is talking about getting the tiler to come back, as I think he would like it waterproof before the boys come in July!
Sharon wrote: "The sun is shinning here to - yay"My inherited barometer said it would be nice today, I have more faith in that than I have in the weather men!
At the moment we are hoping for August, we both have the first 2 weeks booked off from work, but will have to see, it may only be for a week but hopefully I will be in a new job by then, will have to see what I will be allowed. Will keep you informed though definitely.
Sharon wrote: "At the moment we are hoping for August, we both have the first 2 weeks booked off from work, but will have to see, it may only be for a week but hopefully I will be in a new job by then, will have ..."Okay, I will tell Alain to book those two weeks or he won't be able to join in if he has to get up and go to work at 3 every morning!
Sharon wrote: "Cool"I lost my WIFI signal for a moment there. I need a bigger stick maybe? I have no idea what size is necessary I will have to ask Chris this weekend.
Nice long weekend this weekend. Harvester for lunch on Sunday, and some time in the garden writing and editing I think.
Sarah, did you get the email with the April competition entries for the writing group? If so did you want to vote on the 1dt, 2nd and 3rd?
Sharon wrote: "Sarah, did you get the email with the April competition entries for the writing group? If so did you want to vote on the 1dt, 2nd and 3rd?"I may have done, it would have been in with the 1300 others and I may have deleted it, sorry.
I have just recieved an email giving me a photo printed on canvas and framed for just 9,99 I have an idea to take a photo of the house for Alain and maybe use one of Sophie riding!
That will be cool.Do you want me to send it over again or not fussed this time round?
Sharon wrote: "That will be cool.Do you want me to send it over again or not fussed this time round?"
No it's okay, I promise I will do better this month!
Well it would be if I had a good picture of her, which I don't, so I will have to go armed with camera next Saturday and see if I can get her close up!
Definitely. Get the snap before she starts moving around on the horse. Has she been on any more competitions?My niece just got a bronze medal with her first karate tournament.
Yes she came third on the challenge, she had hoped to win but it was the day after coming back from England and she had a stinking cold. Plus we think there was some jiggery pokery performed because the girl that won had only done two out of the three challenges, and it was therefore impossible for her to have won! In our eyes Sophie was second and the girl (Eliza) earnt herself the nickname 'Veronica' like the know it all show off on the Pony Club series on television.Sophie is starting Judo at the new school, both Chris and Jo did Judo, I think martial art training is important for youngsters, it could one day save their life - I was attacked from behind by a boy who had one thing on his mind when I was 13, unbeknown to him my uncle had been tutoring me at Judo. Before he knew it he was lying on the floor, dazed with me with my foot strategially placed to finish the manoevre. He was out of there like a shot and never tried it on with me or my friends again!
Ha good. I did karate as self defence, I was bullied as a child. That soon stopped - lol
Sharon wrote: "Ha good. I did karate as self defence, I was bullied as a child. That soon stopped - lol"My uncle saw some men ogling me at the swimming pool and making suggestive comments. He said I needed to
be able to defend myself against scum like them!
What are you up to this weekend? We are going to try a barbecue tomorrow evening, Alain will have a nap after lunch. Poor thing has to work tomorrow morning, so this poor thing will be up at 3 too. Woohoo! My neighbour is cutting his lawn, lol, we have a dustbowl no grass to cut! Mmm...I love the smell of freshly mown grass, one of the things I'm not allergic to, it's the bits and bobs that crawl around in it that get me!
Mothing major planned at the moment. Got writing group tomorrow morning. Might sit in the garden and write for the rest of the weekend or edit. Got a few half finished projects, so might try and do something with them.

If I tie a rope around my waist and attach it to the stairs I should be able to find my way out alive....
Sharon wrote: "LOL - its that bad"I'd take a photo and show you only Sophie has the camera today. Yes it's that bad, first to migrate was the paint, then some of Alain's tools then the stuff from the house. I can see the bed, and I know there is a second single bed in there too under the window, if my memory serves me correctly.
The trouble is we now don't have a wardrobe and all the stuff that was in the wardrobes is now in plastic storage boxes and carrier bags and boxes. Next week I am going to buy the kits for the dressing rooms - lol in the spare room it is just going to be open in the bedroom downstairs it will be partitioned off as a walk in closet with doors, that way we can store all the spare quilts and stuff for the chasse up high and hide it!
Ugh...speaking of having trouble writing...we're redoing all of the floors in my house on the main floor next week. You know what that means? I'm holed up inside of my basement for three days! That makes it really hard to work on my writing, especially because my whole family will be down there. I won't even have time to think. *sigh*
