  1. Thanks again guys much appreciated. I think I might have to go for the maternity job, its a ticket out of there and im sure it will open up many doors for me. Many more than being a baker could ever do. If I go as a baker where could I go from there? Too another bakery as a baker then so on and so forth. If I go to C&G it will be another bow on my string plus it opens up a whole load of other doors for me
  2. Thanks guys Either way I'm defo taking the bakery job, same pay, less stress and the latest I will ever work till is 2 I dont mind the early starts as I much rather get in and get out, plus I wont have to answer to the store manager and I get on with the bakery manager. It just do I take the risk with the other job (if I'm lucky enough to be offered it) the manager that interviewed me said there is a possibility of staying on after the maternity but nothing can be guaranteed as it all depends on if there is a position available at the time. The job I had the interview for was with C&G (cheltenham & Gloucester, bank/building society for thos who dont know ) as a customer service assistant.
  3. In no rush mate, the driver side passat one is still on the car so when your ready I can take it off
  4. Just looking for a bit of advice really. At the moment I hate my job, I am a team leader for a well known supermarket (not saying which as they have a computer system which looks for anything related to them, and I'm not joking) I do long hours usually between 9-12 hours a day and I am only paid for 8 of them. I have so much stress from the pressure put down onto me from the store manager and we are expected to juggle so many balls yet when we drop one we get completely done over for it. I am currently on a final written warming for very stupid things which were through no fault of my own. They came straight from the store manager but were done by a department manager, so that if I appealed against them (which I would of) they would have gone to the store manager to deiced, so no point appealing. Plus I am paid peanuts, a night shift worker earns more then I do! Thats a little back ground on to it and here is where i need some advice. I have been given the opportunity to step down from team leader and go into the bakery as a baker which means I dont loose out on any money as I will be on the same wage due to the bakers premium (yet again some one else in the store earning the same as me) now I have gone for this as I would be silly not to. but I have to do two 3am starts a week and the rest 6am starts. Where the dilemma comes into it is I recently had a job interview which I through went very well (still waiting on the verdict) it is local to me so can walk to work and the same wage I am on now. Heres the catch though, its maternity cover only. So I would only have a job till March 2013 unless another opportunity arises within the company at that branch or another local one. So do I stick with where I am now even tho I hate it every time I turn up out side the place or do I take the risk with this job (if I'm lucky enough to be offered the job) and hope I I'm either offered another position within the company before my time is up or find another job with another company. As much as I want to get out of the store I know it would be a stable job as I have a mortgage to pay for now and a wedding next year. What has the wide and varied experiences of the forum have to suggest?
  5. Unfortunately Chris couldn't find his drivers handle so still looking for swaps
  6. I have two passat de-locked door handles I'm looking to swap for a drivers door handle with lock and key. They are painted in DBP but its flaking off, wouldnt be too hard to paint them black or another colour. Any one interested?
  7. All right dude could I have 5 cloths please?
  8. Coming along nicely mate :D

    DBP front bumper

    A long shot I know but has any one got a late front bumper in Dark Burgundy pearl? Mine has loads of chips, scratch, lacquer peal and even paint flaking off of it. Pics would be great thanks
  10. Saw a standard silver 16v parked in Cinderford today, looking very tidy. I stuck a forum sticker to the windscreen so hopefully you will come on here if you arent all ready. Sunroof was working on it too!
  11. Will see if I can get it off, not sure if I want to risk it on the track or not. I would love too but dont know if that car will want to play up or not.
  12. cheers mate. Haven't decided yet but thats a very good question
  13. WOW thats all I have to say
  14. Nice to see its still in the corrado family. I had my fingers crossed I would win the lotto in time but didnt work :D Very Jealouse I must say
  15. Had a look at why my rear wheels were not sitting right with the spacers on and it turns out the center bore on the spacers isnt big enough to go over the hub properly. Any one able to shave it off? would do it myself but as its on the wheels I want it to be done properly. Also took some pics of the Corrado and the Wagon [ATTACH=CONFIG]66797[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]66801[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]66805[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=CONFIG]66809[/ATTACH]
  16. Saw this at Bristol Volksfest. Didnt get a good look but did look sweet rolling along
  17. When I proposed I told her it would be a long engagement :D
  18. That didnt hang around! Nice to know its still in the Forum family :D
  19. Your next Lew ;) Haha that will never happen. Her parents are paying as they have quite a bit of dosh so the corrado will be staying no matter what :D
  20. Thanks guys, defo need to start planing a stag do! For once Andy I can correct your spelling, its Estee ;)
  21. Been with my Girl friend for the last 6-7 years and engaged for 4 of them. Today I had a phone call at lunch saying she has booked the wedding date :shock: I knew she was going to view a few places but wasnt expecting her to book anything. Probably my fault for telling her she could do everything and to just tell me where and when to turn up. Its been booked for the 24 August next year. Going to have to think of a way to incorporate a couple of Corrados into it :afro: I'm looking forward to it but a little voice in the back of my head keeps reminding me that this is the last buffer I have before she starts wanting to have kids :pale: I'm not responsible about enough for kids!
