Thanks Homer she's chuffed to bits and I'm immensely proud of her. Next steps are further medical and has to have advanced interview for nature of her potential role including vetting for some of the potential info she may be privvy to. But she has all that in 2 weeks time,. They've told her it'll be before Christmas so fingers crossed with that and if she passes that they will give her start dates.

Whatever it might say in another thread, there is a God and he has made Branston Pickle flavoured Mini Chedders. Tonight Matthew we are eating said Chedders with a delightful white Rioja.

My personal favourite were the marmite ones.... Can't get them anywhere now.

Wouldn't that be a perfect present if she gets in!!
 
My son passed his driving test yesterday. To say he was a little bit chuffed would be an understatement. So having three cars between the good lady and my self (mine a v70 Volvo,hers a freelancer, the third Bei g our little fun car ,a two seater roadster ) agreed to put the youngun on our insurance and let him have the roadster .the look on his face when the Mrs gave him the keys and the sheer joy of seeing him totally at a loss was pure heaven .hopefully he will keep it between the ditches and drive properly but I'm sure he has already found out how fast it can go.

My son passed his test about 6 weeks ago. First time. He was chuffed. We had kept his grannies car for him when she passed from us three years ago (it's been my runaround since then) - so he got that. Within a week he'd been in an accident (someone hit him but he's most likely going to be deemed to be to blame) and had a speeding ticket...

And he's on our car insurance....:(

He'd better be careful. If he gets another ticket within 2 years of passing they'll rip his licence up and he'll have to reapply for his provisional and do all the tests again.

Hope he's not the main driver but the insurance is in your name.
 
My favourite white Rioja on special in the supermarket. Normally retails at a very expensive €5.50. Picked up 3 bottles at €3.45 a bottle.

The plonk we often buy is only €1.70. Although nice it isn't a patch on the good stuff.
