[Sundae]

I've been offered a position with the supermarket I currently work with (sorry, trying not to be searchable) in Otley, Leeds, West Yorkshire.
I do not know my hours, I do not know my shifts.
I do know that - as in Aylesbury - they always want people to pick up extra work within and without their own departments. I discussed this at interview.

I cancelled a viewing at a flat in Otley to attend an interview at Morrison's in Bradford.
They were offering FULL time (30 hours) and housing in Bradford itself is cheaper by about £50 per month.
But as it turns out the location is high on a hill outside of the city, so travel costs would still apply. And it was for a job which is on a tangent from the position I currently hold. A job is a job as I said before, but this one did slightly give me The Fear.

So last night 23.55 when I opened my door, ready to set my alarm for 05.00 this morning OMG, I quickly logged on to find an invitation for a second interview in Otley.

When I came home from probably the worst shift on Bakery I've ever had (major tiredy and cracking my head so hard on an open oven door that I've given myself a proper Easter egg) I started to compose an email to accept an interview but ask for some clemency. Got a call as I was almost ready to send saying, "Hi, no don't worry about the second interview, you had glowing reviews from your branch and we want to employ you. As long as you can attend an Orientation Session."

Hell, yes.
Count the bells I have on.

So I called up private landlord man and arranged to take the local flat sight-unseen.
We dickered and agreed I would get him a payment of rent and deposit (thanks Dad) but my official tenancy wouldn't start until 01/05. Couldn't get him to budge further. Other people might have done, but as Dani knows I was dog-sick about my credit rating, and this place is 0.2 miles from my new place of work. So set-up shifts, close-downs, extra hours... all are welcome.

No pets of course.
I mean of course.
Who would, ever?

Part-furnished.
It's going to mean I have to work hard, but nowhere near as close to breaking point as staying here, where I would have to work harder and longer to live in a shared house. And without the Dizcat.

In hindsight I think I need a new thread for this.

Thank you for letting me spew details in the Happy Thread.
I'll trick out a Yorkshire thread soon.
