Firstly, if all else fails I have temp work lined up to start on 26th July until 1st October at Konika Minolta. They're relocating the entire finance department, so there's no chance of it being made permanent :(
My CV's also gone off to HJ Enthoven & Sons - a lead recycling company in Matlock (about 40-50 minute drive from ours). It's an assistant accountant role & sounds exactly my kinda thing, so I've got my fingers crossed!, My CV went off to them & I've answered some questions too. The agency haven't heard anything today, so will be calling them tomorrow...
Well... about an hour or so later, she called me back & said she'd been doing her usual of calling companies in the area & then a company, completely out of the blue, turned round and said... actually... she sounds exactly what we're after! O.M.G.!!! it's so new he hasn't even got a job spec yet! but, I apparently fit the bill for what they're after :) Amongst other things, It'll be looking at their pricing (something new! weeee) and it looks like a great company with a large finance team - so hopefully decent progression to be made and they're local and and and... hehe... it's Synseal & they're in Sutton in Ashfield - it's about 15 minutes away!
I'm trying not to get my hopes up on these, but, at least there's progress eh?! ahh shucks... SSssqqqquuueeeeeeeeee it's very exciting! *fingers crossed*
In other news, the bear & I went to Sutton in Ashfield earlier... it's dead close & has loadsa shops (not many "names brands" mind, but, more than St Ives & Huntingdon combined! happy to have that on my doorstep. Hoping to get a new phone soon too - iPhone 4g (I know I know!) but, mines working slower & slower, has no wifi & the receptions getting worse *cries* & besides... I want one! hehe!
Updates soon (hopefully!) Shazapoo x
