Brenda Posted June 18, 2008 Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 (edited) Good for you Claire, and good luck. That job sounded utterly appalling, you are worth much more than that Edited June 18, 2008 by Brenda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClazUK Posted June 18, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2008 You lot is lovely Good for you Claire.Bet that feels a real weight off you now Indeed it does - now it's *your* turn - someone else who deserves better. Have I spent Clazooks real name wrong??? Nope - I'm a Claire with all the vowels, not a Clare, or a Clair (or a Clire for that matter ) Oook is much easier though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happylittlegreensquirrel Posted June 19, 2008 Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I left you a message on your phone a couple of days back asking if you would consider work in London ? there are hundreds of jobs being advertised ( or just about to be ) for Westfield London's shopping centre ( White City ) , I think tonight's evening standard was carrying a special section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClazUK Posted June 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2008 I left you a message on your phone a couple of days back asking if you would consider work in London ? Sorry, was in the Toilet Rationing Gulag at the time and forgot. TBH no, I am too old/boring/lazy to commute any more (although they are looking for Conductors working out of Bletchley ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
