Hey all,
Best of luck to all of ye starting tomorrow!! unfortunately that call doesn't seem to be forthcoming. Don't think i'll be getting it tomorrow. (But if i did, i'd only need an hours notice!!!) Looks like its gonna be august. nothing i can do about it even if i wanted to so might as well relax for the summer and prepare for 12 weeks of waiting. :(:(:(

LeSurfer

alright lads

i've my interview next week,doing the report writing in the morning and the actual interview in the afternoon.i've booked a hotel 10 mins away from chapter house(its on tablot street if you know where that is).my question is would i have enough time to change if i want to wear something comfortable in the morning and go back to the hotel change into suit before the interview,and im thinking of wearing tracksuit and hoody in the morning,would that be too informal? cheers.

and best of luck to those starting tomorrow,i envy you all.:D

It's in case you act the B****x in the first week and they have to get you a job in the local Centra. Now go to sleep, you have a big day tomorrow. I'll be thinking of you when I'm lying back in france with my stella artois and factor 50...................Good luck tomorrow I'm sure it will be one of the best days of your life.
