First interview with an agency doing the first interview vetting this wednesday. (exactly a week later from brandishing my CV everywhere)

And there should be another one due this week!

Both local, both more money than I was on!

The first interview was last tuesday and the agency was calling me as I was making my way home from the interview, to book the second interview.

Had the second interview this morning and a job offer by lunchtime, not bad for less than a week start to finish.

I didn't even get a chance to go for the other job interview. I can't believe the first company I saw snapped me up! Then again, my last few jobs was like that!

I've got a couple more weeks off and then I'm an IT Manager in Woking!

Right where's the Autotrader??

We have a Forester S Turbo as our "Mum Bus" and that's staying.

The car that needs replacing is the Ford Ka... it's a good car, but I've been talking about getting an Integra Type R for over 6 years, but each time I've bought an Impreza instead! Time for some VTEC action, as I get my turbo fix from the Forester (kind of!! )

I thought I should get a Ibiza/Fabia TDI, but it will cost more to buy than the ITR, but less to insure and fuel up. Taking depreciation, running costs and fuel economy into account, I think it will cost the same over two years!

Andy, there's a couple of DC5's for sale on the board at the moment including Truff's 300bhp beastie with Greddy turbo & intercooler

Looks like we may have to rethink both cars!!

Sell the Forester for a Golf TDI or Ford Focus.
Sell the Ford Ka for a Honda Integra Type R (DC2)

Great news Andy

PS, Golf or Focus IMO not big enough - well not if the passenger and the ever growing nipper wants any legroom, that is Go Passat I say

Anna,

Some time soon, but it will have to be a child friendly pub!

Justin,

Looks like the Forester can stay for now, but the Ford Ka..... it's days are numbered!

That'll be most pubs then as long as its staggering distance from the house - it's quite easy to bottle feed a baby when slightly worse for wear, honest!! (Our godson didn't seem to mind anyway!!!)
