Finally caught up with your diary. You are doing really really well. We're the same height and similar weights and also have been down this road before but seem to have found our mojo this time around! Looking forward to following your progress and seeing where we both end up at the end of the Valentine's Day Challenge.

Hi Clinquant! I know - it's a read and a half, isn't it? Lol. It's great (after so many false starts) to be cruising along. Here's to us smashing through the Valentine's day challenge.... And beyond (*raises glass of water *) xx

Hiya Jen, thank you for your good wishes - I'm actually really really nervous! So much is riding on this..... too much maybe? I'm usually soooo confident (can you tell? Lol), but I'm bricking it. What if she asks me a question and I sound like I have a mouth full of rocks? Worse: What if I come across like the village idiot? Wow. Deep breath. I'm the chick who hasn't eaten in 10 weeks :) (yes, it's a flaming super power!! :mad:) Bring it on!!!! Grrrr......*gulp*:D xx
 
Good luck, I'm sure you'll do amazingly, just knock their socks off I'm keeping fingers and toes crossed for you :fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed::fingerscrossed:

Hi Jo! Thank you, thank you, thank you :D It's so close to home (no more 4 hour commute!) and in a new field - it could be so great for me. After 3 months of looking I'm just thrilled to get a foot in the door with an interview!

How's the diet going? I'm sure you're doing a fab 100% pre-Christmas stretch :) I'll have to pop onto your thread to catch up xx
 
Well. I successfully navigated a lunch time drama.... hold on as I polish my halo..... I went into London to spend the day with Mum and her carer (Mum's off to Barbados in the morning with one of my sisters and her family for Christmas) and took them out to lunch. Folks I've got the ideal way to avoid the 'Feeders' of this world. As they persistently ask you why you're not eating and try to insist you tuck in, tell them how much weight you've lost. Done. :D They're so busy asking how the blazes you did it, you can sail through the starters and half the main course before their jaws are off the floor!! It's genius I tell ya.

I also discovered that along with weight, I've stored my shame gene somewhere - I was quite happy to ask for a glass of water and a straw, drank half the giant glass, tossed my powdered Choc Mint shake in the rest, stirred with the straw and drank down the powdered mess:D After that malarkey no one was up to offering me a drumstick lol

And I felt fine. At this stage I'm not drinking these shakes for culinary delight so the lumpy mess hit the spot, it was at the 4 hour mark since my last shake so it was time for it, and because I was 'full' I was happy to chatter away and let them eat in peace. Gosh. I love seeing my Mum. I cant wait to get back in employment and move closer!

I hope everyone had a wonderful 100% day today..... not long now before the Christmas-dinner-elves try to drive us all insane! Hold tight people :):):) xx
 
Hey bev (wave wave)

How you doing?

Just wanted to wish you luck for tomorrow. You will nail it!

xx
 
Hi Bonkers! I've just been trying to stay relaxed today - and trying to convince myself that this is NOT like that nightmare where you turn up fora class and are told today is the ultimate exam to pass or fail life :D

I'm excellent at my job, confident and highly competent so I just have to let that shine through. I'll let you know the deets and how it went..... And thank you to all of my earthly angels that have been sending me positive vibes of luck and love. The Minimins family are the greatest. Much love to you all xxx
 
well the day approaches im sure you all prepared to shine and that is what we all want for you. im absolutely routing for ya. what time is the interview? and do you know when they will tell you the outcome?
its very exciting

10 am *gulp* and I'm still wide awake at 1am :-( Not good. I'm as mentally prepared as I can be.... and if they don't give me a job it's their loss lol :D

I hope they tell me tomorrow what the outcome is! It'll be funny to start a new role two days before Christmas, but I hope they're looking for an immediate start..... or at least sign contracts or something.

Thank you for your good wishes dearheart - I'll let you know how it goes :) xx

Really good luck for the interview. It sounds like you have all the right experience so go and sell it to them. Keep it to specific examples - says the HR lady I am - and you can't fail. :)

Ooooh! It's Business Support Management in the HR Business Unit! Totally left field from my IT Support background, but apparently she read my CV and wants my competency, organisational and project Management skills on board....... That's great advice (specific examples of skill set). You're a star Clinquant, and have given me something to focus on .... And hopefully get to sleep! Lol
 
So I've had exactly 90 minutes of sleep, my eyes look like I'm on crack and my brain is decidedly fuzzy......... In an effort to get my motor going I hopped on the scales before my shower and in thrilled to report a nice loss already - I won't spoil the surprise, but suffice to say it put a grin on my face. At least I think it did....... I'm pretty sure I was asleep standing up under the spray :rolleyes:

If nothing else, at least I know I'll have a 100% day :D xx

How did it go??????
 
I LOVED IT!!!!!! I don't know if I've got the job, but I made a darn good showing of myself :D I utilised Clinquant's timely advice and having had a quick read of all my old performance management reviews and objectives I was able to give full specific examples to their open ended "how would you" questions :) I feel like a million bucks Bonkers lol

And the best part? Regardless of outcome, I feel like I left them knowing they'd met a woman of worth and ambition :D Ooooh yeeeah! *fist pump* I should hear back today or tomorrow so fingers, toes and eyes crossed!

In other news I just got a call for a confirmed surgery date (14th Feb) so that worry is off my mind too.

And how's your day going? xx
 
:0clapper: u woman of worth and ambition ;)


I'm glad they let you know by when they will make the decision - waiting is the worst.

and :cross: , :fingerscrossed: (pretend these are toes) :silly:(and eyes doing something) for you...
