Hello - I'm hardly ever here, but as LJ seems to have gone breats upwards, I thought I'd pop in here instead. For anyone interested in the email I have just received regarding my interview last week, I have copied it in below:

Thank you for your email. We were actually very impressed with your performance at interview and you were only just “pipped at the post” by a lady who had more relevant experience in the type of position we were advertising.

There is a possibility that our Farm Department may have a vacancy available in the near future. This post would be full-time and would be more secretarial than reception. If you would like to be considered for this position should it arise, please let me know and I will pass your application to our Practice Manager for consideration.

This has made me feel much better, and now I am trying to formulate a response that doesn't sound too needy! I really would love to work there. I'm so pleased that they did me the courtesy of replying, a lot of places don't. I'm even more pleased that they have thought of me with regards to another position in the company.

I've just had a letter from the Dept of Work and Pensions advising that my JobSeeker's Allowance is going to run out on 12 April as that's when my tax contributions run out (accumulative 182 days altogether, including the time I was off last year before I went to work at the Kennel Club). I've tried calling them to see what happens next, but they fobbed me off with saying I need to talk to the JobCentre to see if they will offer me retraining.

It's a beautiful day, I have just taken Charlie for a walk to the pet shop and back home again, we met lots of people en route who thought he was gorgeous, and I agree whole-heartedly with them, of course! There was a lady in the pet shop who thought he was lovely-natured, hehe she's not seen him around other dogs, when she'd be more likely to think he was a complete and utter nutter!

I have washed the wall opposite Peter's desk this morning (the stair wall) as it was covered in muddy splodge marks where Charlie's ball hits it a lot. I feel much happier looking at that wall now!

Next door had a lot of cops in again this morning. There was a lot of loud banging at 8am, when I was in the bathroom, and I was sorely tempted to bang back, but I didn't. When I got down here and made my breakfast I sat in front of my porthole window at my desk so I could look out whilst eating... *laugh*. There were at least 4 cops in there, and there was a squad car parked in front of the house. I had a text from Catherine opposite about 5 minutes later telling me there were cops in there, she's as bad as I am for being nosey! *giggle*

Well, I'd better go hang the laundry out...
