Interview. Eeek.

Sounds like you are doing the best you can under the circumstances. I really hope you get it.

I know it sounds cheeky but could you not say you wanted some time out just for a holiday or a long break and that you are raring to go now?

I did consider that, but I would have to lie for the duration of the contract if I got it, and I would probably slip up! Best to tell the truth I guess. It's none of their business technically, but realistically we all know they might bin me because of it.

WHS, best of luck with it MP.

Ha, well it's Erdington. I know Brum quite well, live near but am a country bumpkin!

Unfortunately, for me, thats where I was dragged up. Know it quite well.

Hows the little one doing. He must be about four or five months now.

Don't have much choice unfortunately, but it is not a decision I have taken lightly. I am on my own with the baby, and am not getting any support from his father (who, as the other Director in the Ltd Co, has taken £18k of the CT money and disappeared).

Ah sorry to hear that.
No chance of working from home?

Well it'd be nice - I would never ask that in an interview, but maybe once I am in the role it might be an option. I have got a nanny sorted I think and I love her (as does Ben) so any days at home will be a definite bonus!

Excellent news!

What a coincidence!

He is three months, he's brilliant and hard work in equal measures. Grinning and gurgling now which is ace. But not going through the night, and inexplicably having tantrums when he is offered milk when he does wake up hungry at 3am - argh.

Hopefully they do not ask as the market is so bad that they will automatically think that is the reason for the void. As long as you can do the job and are willing to stay the course it really shouldn't matter to them but I do agree some people might be put off by the situation.

[MaryPoppins]

Excellent news!

I know!

She's great with him and makes me look like a total inadequate obviously, ha ha. He's with her for the day today so I am home alone for the first time in three months.

Sounds like sasguru.
