Sorry.....long post again. 
I'll try and keep it short
So....(Sorry Baz and EC) 
I applied for two jobs yesterday. A temporary school receptionist (with an agency) 
and an admin asst in the NHS. I was in the jobcentre this afternoon when my phone rang. I knew not the number and let it go till I was outside thinking it may be for a job. When I got outside I rang the caller back and said I'd just had a missed call. She explained she was calling about the receptionist job but at that point I couldn't hear as the wind was blowing and asked if I could call her back when I got in the house, (and in any case I don't like talking about stuff like this on the phone outside). She said yes, no problem
I did the odd few bits I needed to, got back home and rang her back......to be told....I'm sorry but in between calls I've managed to fill that position but if anything else comes up I'll get in touch.
Agencies!!! 
I just wonder what the hell I have to do!!
Her proper course of action should have been (to the other person) to say I've got someone calling me back and can I take your details so if it doesn't work out I can give you a call
I just had to get that off my chest, sorry peeps 
Hmmm ... Well I would go in on Monday saying at I was so pleased that they had thought of me for the position and I was sorry it didn't work out ... have they got anything else on their books?
And yes, it'll make you choke a bit, but you have to play the game. And, it is encouraging that they thought of you 
I might ring them on Monday (office is in Newcastle)
And as a footnote....I'm doubly annoyed now cos I've spilt gravy on my peach coloured sweatshirt 
That said the sweatshirt's not even good enough to make a duster out of. It's a good job I don't go out in it I'm consoling myself with a bottle of wine though 
I suddenly feel to old for TFI Friday...
Zig and Zag.....

I loved Zig and Zag on the Big Breakfast. I also loved TFI Friday back in the day, but I watched the first 'revival' and switched off part way through - I just don't get it any more. I like Chris Evans though.

Me too, but, it seems like a lot of 40 somethings reliving their youth now......and failing miserably, looking like a load of 'old' aunts and uncles.........(With puppets)

I think that's probably it, Sydders.. some things you shouldn't revisit.

I agree..........but Steptoe & Son still makes me smile and think too....
Hahaha I just re arranged my 11yr old sons room... needless to say under his (divan!) bed was a carpet of lego, rubbish, socks and a host of other small toys etc..... I swept it all into the center of his room, hoovered where the bed/ wardrobe were going back, replaced then and called him up to sort through all that crap! I'm evil

So sorry to hear about that Sprout. I agree that she should have held it for you until you had spoken to them.
The upside is that I notice unemployment is down and more jobs are likely to be made available next year, so let's hope 2016 is your year.
I'm not holding my breath.......
I've got a dilemma....
It's Saturday night and I've got nothing to drink....well I have, there's 4 cans of lager in the fridge that my auntie brought today along with some food shopping to see me through xmas. I'm wondering should I drink them, or at least two

I had several flash drives laying around. So I bought an external hard drive . Loaded everything from them onto it. Nearly ten thousand files
I have only used about 2% of the hard drive. It's half a terabyte

I've got an external one too......it's a case of sorting out the duplicates before I load everything on there

I ain't that sensible, I just loaded the lot on. Didn't bother to sort them
I'm a bit anal like that I like to have things in order. Pity stuff wasn't like that with my life
That's my problem! That's why I'm pushing ahead now to get it done. Like I say...the stuff I've found.....
Just popped in to say that I'm on holiday now till January. I'll probably lurk around on the mobile a bit, but I don't expect to be posting much for the next couple of weeks or so.
So: a Merry Christmas to all you lovely FMs!
