I only went and got the new job, hurrah!
I am shocked, as I really was convinced that I had ballsed up the interview - was even looking on MyjobScotland, and Goodmoves to see what other vacancies are about. Even, by about 2.30 am, I settled to making patchwork quilts to sell.
I am really looking forward to all the things working within a team brings, and to meeting the carers I will be working with, too.
Just awaiting references and checks - and then I start. Hopefully, by the end of February.
Whoo, hoo!

Grumpy New Year
The new year hasn't started off very brilliantly. Mr T has been found to have arthritis in his back and both hips. Though it at last explains the level of pain he has been experiencing, it has been a huge blow to him, a young(ish) strong and fit man. He has been told to rest up, and never lift anything heavy, walk too much on hard ground, and never run.
I still haven't found a job. I fit all the criteria, have more than enough experience, but fall apart at the interview. I still currently have self-employed work, which I do enjoy and find very satisfying, and I do it well. But, it really doesn't pay enough - I have just submitted my tax return and I am left with less than the minimum wage after all the other expenses.
But, on the plus side - we are basically healthy and well, our children are getting on fine and we have strapping grand-children who are simply beautiful.
We have both lost weight with Slimming World - Mr T has lost over three stone, and I have lost over one stone. We're on the way.
Oh, and Mr T has been offered a full-time job that is tailor-made for him, and that he can cope with physically. That helps.
