September #2

So, still no news from the police. I should try to be calm cos it has only been two weeks and we do have a postal strike on. But it does make you nervous every time the postman arrives.

Now, the latest is that bad neighbour has been quiet for over a week. That's a good thing. The bad thing is that whatever he's up to has disturbed his rats and I saw one in our kitchen last night. I saw his big brown bum vanish behind the cooker as I switched the light on. There were droppings under the table this morning. We haven't seen any before so we know they've only just got in.

I rang the environmental health today and they are coming tomorrow. They'd better get the things. Mum is freaking out big time. Now I can understand why people slap shrieking women. I'm resorting to the "I'm not talking to you when you are in this state woman" method.

Well, I'm back from London with the news that on my third and final try at the fitness test........................


I PASSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I actually found the beep test running OK and they had to call be back after I'd done it cos I kept on running. I found the pulling of the weights easy and pulled more than I needed to, but I have more difficulty with the pushing of the weights. But I got it on the nose of the criteria needed so I passed. What a relief.

Now I just have to wait while they check references and see if I get offered a start date.

Thanks to everyone who wished me luck. I have no doubt that it helped me no end.
