Thanks, son sent me pics of the little lad in his new bedroom, with a big grin on his face. He has his curtains and bed from his old home and all his toys as well of course, so I am sure he will soon settle in.

Son went off last evening to play football as usual so they had a break from each other for a couple of hours or so. My lad has a great network of friends who all get on with N. and her friends like my son, so I am sure things will balance out and they will be happy.

Their cards should arrive today, if the post comes before M. goes to school he can open the envelope as I put his name on there first.

Looking good for your son, Liz and you have gained a friend in N and her little boy sounds pleased with his new bedroom. All very positive after a stressful Summer.

I called in to see them all on Tuesday afternoon, the rooms look nice that they have decorated, son has done a good job and they just have to sort out all the left over furniture and things in their bedroom which luckily is a large one.

Speaking to my lad on Wednesday pm he told me he has two job interviews this week, one today and one tomorrow. The one tomorrow is at the same factory my o.h. works at, he is an electrical technician but son applied for anything that was going on the factory floor as he has no practical qualifications. He sent the letter and cv in some weeks back so it's good that they are interviewing him, and even tho he would have to work shifts, it would be good money to help them get sorted. I am not sure how he will like factory work (corrugated cardboard makers)but he gets on with people and works hard so I am sure he would cope. A friend of his already works there so he knows what to expect.
I don't know what the other job is, probably office work of some kind as that's what he is better equipped for but whatever is meant to be will be. It would be good for him to get back into work as he's been off for over 2 yrs now and it's been getting him down.

Fingers crossed please, folks, will let you know how he gets on

Liz, I do hope that your son interviewed well today and will do good for the second interview tomorrow. Fingers crossed that he will be offered full time employment from one or the other. It really would be the icing on the cake!

Hi Liz.
Good luck to your son with his interviews
Fingers crossed and hope he does not have to wait to long before he finds out if he has one of the jobs.xx

because I care about what is going on here, this has to count in my board domination

Liz I want to keep your post high

Thanks you lovely peeps, and Uzzi too lol

The job my lad went for yesterday was at our local Science park, a good bus ride away but the stop is near his home and the bus goes every 15 mins cos it goes on to our local hospital. It's for dna testing, apparently they get a lot of calls from Jeremy Kyle type people lol

I am sure it would be interesting so am keeping my fingers crossed but the money would be better at the factory I think, altho it would mean shift work.

Fate will decide how things go bit it seems to be all happening at once now. He even has the possibility of a plae at an old workplace, selling wine over the phone, he did well there last time but left to go back to college for a year.
