    Trust me I'm envious of island living. Enjoy your day on the mainland and try not to get too nervous. I don't finish till 6 today and it's dragging big time!!!! Oh I want that job!!!
    D
    On a break and was just thinking omg it's tomorrow!!! Great minds and all that. Guess it's do or die!!!! I'm sure tomorrow or even later this evening it'll start to make the old tummy go!!!
    B
    Bed for me. I will message you tomorrow from the big north island. Enjoy your today training the newbees only 2 days to go
    B
    She is very supportive, she will come to Swindon on Wednesday but spend the day shopping so will be very happy. As far as me living away as long as I come home during my time off she is happy. She must be trying to get rid of me I think. Her mum lives here and we she bad a lot of friends here so she will be ok I would rather we moved together though because I hate being on my own.
    D
    When you put it like that it does sound ridiculous!! I'm assuming your wife coming over with you. How does she feel about such a huge transition if you get the job? Know she doesn't want to leave IOW but it would still affect her life. Glad I don't have to consider all those kind of things. Adds to the pressure.
    I'm going to aim to get there after 8 also. Would hate to get stuck in traffic or any other hiccup. Will work out my timings tomorrow when I've finished work. I'm training new starters tomorrow so although manic it is good fun! Slightly later start at 8am so no silly 3am alarms!!
    B
    Girls gossip.....never! ! Heading up there tomorrow morning we are on the 1030 boat which takes an hour so should be there about 1230. I think they are about 45 miles from Swindon it is straight up the m4 so I reckon it will take just less than an hour to get there. I plan on being there by just after 8 so I can have plenty of time for nerves to kick in big time. Once I get in I will be fie it's always just before for me that I am worse. I can stand in front of 30 murders, rapists, drug dealers and robbers and teach them, but **** myself at the thought of a few tests and an interview. Wtf

    Sounds all too familiar. I'm fairly open minded but still get shocked as don't understand why you'd risk everything and hurt and humiliate someone whom you love or have loved? Personally I stick to the rule... Never **** on your own doorstep but these people do it right under their partners noses!!!!
    Work can be a strange place in any business and you're right some people you would never put together! Look at us having a good old gossip!!!
    I'm sure your daughter could keep a secret!!! You trying to say us girls are blabber mouths???
    B
    My son knows where I am going but my daughter doesn't she can't keep a secret so best just not to tell her. I think most work places are knocking shops the number of people I know in work who have slept with someone else is unbelievable. The trouble with doing that on the island is that everyone knows everyone or at least somebody else who knows you. You can never get away with it here hence why so many at work are divorced or just married to each other and even then they still get into trouble. My friend knows everyone who is sleeping together some of them you would never put together.
    D
    Lol. Please do!!! People laugh at me when I do swear. Apparently I do it politely!!! See to me a day out would be something like the IOW!!!
    I'm sure in our place of work there is enough sucking and seeing going on! It's like a bloody knocking shop!! You'd be shocked at some of the antics if you knew!!
    I'm not looking forward to the drive in the morning but I'm sure I'll find it!
    My kids think I'm just off to work that day. Shows that I really haven't spoken to anyone about it all!
    B
    Now that would be good. You don't use the term suck and see in your office then, can't imagine why not. A trip to the mainland from the island is like a massive adventure so perhaps it's not nerves but excitement that is making my stomach do flip flops. I can teach you all sorts of prison language that will insure you blend in in the most seedy of places.
    D
    Suck it and see!!! Prison talk??? Sorry couldn't help myself! As for day out.... Mr Bull you should get out more!!!
    Think nerves can be good but last time I never had any on the lead up. Saying that as soon as we started the first assessment they certainly kicked in. Really glad that we are going on the same day now let's hope we blooming nail this and sail through managers interview and who knows we could be classroom buddies!!!
    B
    I am not feeling to bad today either I think like you I will be a bit nervous on the day and like you say if they don't like you what can you do (like that is going to happen) ;) I am just going to suck it and see now so bring it on. Actually getting quite excited because either way we will find out shortly and besides its a day out.
    D
    Hey you. Wish I had a day in between work and the assessment. Was really stressing but now seem remarkably calm decided there's not much I can do about it as who knows they may just don't like me and before you say it, I know, impossible!!! However on the day I'm sure that the nerves will be in full swing!!!
    B
    Morning off to to work for the last day before my epic trip to the mainland and it's the big day omg. Going to try and write a few things down today in between dealing with the countries finest individuals. Have a great day
    D
    Dreaming lol! I'm a bit of an insomniac so although I'm a 0430 I'm wide awake. Completely agree on the disappointment thing. What other job out there even matches this!!! Goodnight and will chat to my confidant and fellow stress buddy!
    B
    I am even dreaming about it. Now that is not healthy I need my beauty sleep and it's starting to keep me awake. I know there is no point worrying about it what ever will be will be but I just want it and don't fancy the disappointment if I don't continue past Wednesday. I think I will just cross everything and hope for the best. I am off to bed for some restlessness (is that even a word) hope you sleep well and don't worry too much. Chat tomorrow
    D
    3 days of butterflies and stress!! It's weird. Apart from you I haven't spoken to anyone else about it but it feels like it's constantly at the back of my mind.
    B
    Definitely cadburys. I think I will do the same put something on paper it and it tends to sink in a bit more. I am defo putting the practice stuff away now only three days to go.......not that I am counting or anything
    D
    I'm sure if you're successful that that question would crop up so tell them then. I have only glanced at the papers but can't see how they can help me and like you have decided to put it to one side. What I might do is the night before jot down some possible answers in case I am lucky enough to get through to MMI and hopefully something will stay in my head! Padded cell for 2 and some cadburys!!!
    B
    I am giving up with practicing the test things now they are starting to make me twitch. It's quite possible we will be both be that padded cell. I hope we don't get put on hold for to long if successful although I have got a holiday booked in Majorca at the end of June that I am definitely not going to miss, so a start of any when after July 5th is good for me. Do you think it's a bit cheeky to tell them that, but I would rather be honest
    D
    I'll be winging it right along side you. I can't read it because if I'm honest it worries me!!! On one hand I'm gutted for the person as can imagine how they feel. I kin of wish I had an idea of the numbers to this stage and the numbers they're recruiting for each station. Last thing I want is to be successful but end up in an endless pool on hold. None of it has been clear! As for the paper and pencil thing is it me or does the start and finish start at a very inconvenient point!!! Guess that the whole point of it though! Getting closer to needing that padded cell!!!
    B
    A padded cell now that I can help you with ;). I have just been reading the forum for EMT I really should stop doing that because it just makes my nerves worse, my stomach is doing flip flops now. The gut said there was only 6 on his stage 2 day and all but one got through to the MMI. He said it was a bit of a grilling as well. It certainly hasn't filled me with any confidence that's for sure. I had a go at the two hand coordination test paper today but the paper kept slipping and my pencil got stuck so it was a disaster I might just have to go back to plan A and wing it again it's been a successful ploy so far.
    D
    I never skived but did have a mooch! Never took anything in either. Think the trick is to write some pointers down as you may retain info better that way!! My working day was awful. I am so done with the place. **** takers get away with everything and decent people get hassle. So many changes that regardless of FGW I know I need to get out before I go mad!!!! Although the thought of a padded cell at the moment is somewhat reassuring!!!
    B
    We are going to park and ride like last time it so much less hassle. Have a look on the internet at the site it's just off the m4 I am not sure whether you can park at the station. Meeting for a cup of before if you get there early enough sounds good to me we can try and help each other's nerves. 10 o'clock start nice 730 for hence why I am off to bed. I am such a light weight
