Have you tried writing asking if they have any positions?

yep when I was in work I did. I've signed up to the major ones for alerts to. Sadly senior positions are available more than junior level ones.

Seems odd, I'd have thought there would be more junior positions. I have the same problem though with environmental jobs, they all seem to want experience I can't have without someone giving me that first employment

does that mean you haven't found a job yet?

Nope, I'm just on quite a few waiting lists . I'm getting bored of being successful at interview but not actually getting a job.

However, I'm still hoping to do a PGCE next year. I've found a distance learning course I'm hoping to do. Job searching in the mean time is taking a back seat, not least because I'm nearly 13 weeks pregnant

well done Unc

Bizarrely, dark chocolate's good for pregnant people as it's high in iron. I'm certainly not going to complain

been staying away from unless it comes with or

I helped pull down a house this weekend

I eat the stuff but very slowly, I'm still working on a box of chocs the brownies gave me in September

gees that wouldn't last long with me mind you I go through phases so you never know

I used to eat lots of chocolate, but it really doesn't do me any good. I've got so used to moderating how much I eat, I've become incapable of eating it in any large quantity . I still eat more around Christmas and Easter though

I tend to get some when I go out but if I stay at home I don't eat it

I still use chocolate in baking though . The last cake though was apple and cinnamon. My thumb is still recovering from an accident when grating the apples

oh dear you didn't try grating your thumb did you?

I didn't mean to, but apples are quite tricky to grate. Almost completely healed now fortunately

I've just spilt hot water on my finger!

Argh! That's not a passtime I'd recommend

well i was initiated into my job yesterday by a paper cut

Oooh, you've got a new job?

yep ...although they've now turned around and said it's only temporary for Christmas at present
