    Do you start early again tomorrow as well. You must be knackered. I am off on Tuesday to travel up to Surrey and a day off can't come soon enough. The only trouble with being away the night before is I won't be able to cram in the last minute study although that might be a good thing having...

    A healthy redundancy package is always a bonus. I have come across men in prison who have taken there own lives and it is not a nice thing to see.

    Voluntary redundancy could be perfect timing for you will your company pay a good package. The prison service offered one last year but I had nothing to go to so it want right for me.

    Just my thoughts exactly. I know some people in work who,moan all day and are not prepared to do anything about it. Like your place the prison service is going through major changes and most of them are not for the better. Everybody has an opinion in our place and as soon as somebody does...

    Odds aren't great but I reckon we are already down to the last 30 or 40 so we have done incredibly well to get this far. As far as the SJE is concerned I think you just do what you think is right go with your first instincts I am pretty sure you will nail it. Have confidence in yourself I have...

    Ha defo not I have a reputation to keep up. I know what you mean about getting so far and then missing out it would be gut wrenching, but I am a firm believer in fate and if it's meant to be it will be. I am quite looking forward to it and having a go at the tests but not looking forward to the...

    I wouldn't describe prison food as gourmet, close but not quite. Having been married for 21 years I definitely know where all the traps lie and avoid them by quite some distance, but like you I know a lot of men who have fallen foul and behaved not quite as they should. My only niggling doubt...

    So you don't think that mice running over your food would enhance the flavour in any way? If I am successful it would mean re-locating to Oxford or close by for the time that I am supposed to be at work, so I will need to find somewhere to live which in itself is going to be a nightmare. I have...

    Your secret is safe with me. FGW for me is just because I literally stumbled on the advert by pure chance so I have to have a good look at who they are and what they are about. The SJE is a strange one I think they use your responses to help them form the questions they put to you on interview...
