AAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH !!!!!!!

:swoon::swoon:

I got a job! I can't believe it....I had the chance to buy STACKS of clothes on Saturday and was sooooooooo restrained it was quite honestly not normal (ask OH) and now I know I should have.

Mind you, it's a chance to go back, woo hoo!

I start on Monday next week, and am absolutely thrilled to bits.... I can't think clearly and am on the brink of tears with relief. OH is over the moon and cannot be brought down!!!!

Hey Libby that is so sweet, I am so proud of you.

Don't worry there is another 7 days before you start work, I am sure you can get to Harbour Town at least twice this week with Bob's credit card :biglaugh::biglaugh:.

All the best

Well done, I remember when my mum got a job here. Hmmmm will they give you a discount if you send your girls there? Some schools do for their teachers.

I will let you know on Monday!

They are spending this week sorting my timetable for me and getting keys etc ready. Then that week I am going in to meet classes, talk to the person who is in post at the mo, pick brains and get resources, and then collapse with stress at the end of the week.

And Bob is away that week on a residential camp with 3 teachers and 2 classes from school - just what I need!!!!

Well done Lid's:notworthy:.

Sorry i'nm a bit behind (nothing new) where's the job at??? What you teaching??

Libby1971

I will be the Religious Education Learning Area Co-ordinator ie Head of RE Dept.

It is at a private girls school in the city and I am really pleased. I feel very satisfied today but emotional - I have just sobbed my way through Kindergartden Cop!!! - and now am wondering if I can do the job as well as I think I can. Of course I can :confused:

They rang me last night, and of course I was out!!! :arghh:I rang back and they asked me if I would be interested in accepting their offer of the position...I took a deep breathe and tried to sound calm. They were very complimentary and have a great deal of confidence in me which is lovely. This is a bit of a jump for me as in a Catholic school Head of RE is a big deal and I haven't done this role before.

I am back at Harbourtown on Wednesday and will be shopping with Bob's credit card on Thursday in late night shopping...fantastic.

Thank you so so much all of you. You are being very kind and as Donna says, what a difference from a few months ago when everything was not quite so rosy. :nah:

Bob is thrilled to bits and I hope that by now has successfully resigned from his position. He is going to stay home with the kids for a while, do a bit of part time work (outside of teaching) and finish off work on the house while I support us (woohoo, no arguments when I try to buy ANOTHER handbag) and then we'll see if he wants to change things in six months. Of course by then, he and Guzzler will be in a right little golfing routine and I won't be able to get him hoovering and dusting, never mind working!

For me this a really big deal. This was the final step in feeling like we had made a new life here, that Oz was and is our new home. It has taken almost a year but proves that you have to hang on, and keep believing that what you want is out there and it will find you. I also can't believe the amount of good wishes that have been sent and I am truly touched, thank you for your infinite patience as I have spent the last few months grumbling. I am sure I will drive you mad doing the same thing now I am working - there is no pleasing some people!!!:biglaugh:

I feel calm and almost serene and unbelievably tired - I have hardly slept since Friday waiting for the call and then was so excited last night I didn't sleep then either. So now I am shattered and intend to have a quick snooze before the kids come home and catch me.

Well Done Libby so pleased for you!Followed your story for a while now and remembering you having me in tears when watched you on "wanted down under".
You are an inspiration and proven you have to hang in there and try to stay positive until things work out!And you have and it has paid off now!
Wish you and your family lots of luck and maybe meet up with you all eventually!(may even get a chance to join you and all the girls on these great days out you keep arranging)
Will keep reading how it goes for you!

Good luck for next week

This is of course very bad news indeed. :sad: By the time we get out there Bob will know the courses like the back of his hand. :jimlad:

Good luck Libby hope it works out well for you.
