    You may well have done, I didn't see you or I'd have said hi! Having a great time, just trying to keep up with the paperwork! I've got a lot to learn but am really enjoying it. How are you getting on?

    I can`t forgive myself for Failing the Assessment

    I've just been through the assessment myself, and passed, thankfully. The only thing I really practiced quite a lot was the Groups Bordon, the other stuff I just relied on the practice material for. I'm not sure I agree with paying for stuff off the net, it seems a bit, well, wrong. I think...

    Thanks Alison. I'm sure it'll be fine, it's just going to cost me a few hundred £'s to find out! Just over a week to go- you must be chomping at the bit!! No doubt I'll see you at some point - good luck and try and keep in touch, in amongst all the learning!

    I did that too, have since had to amend my finish date! The ECG in the medical has indicated an 'abnormal result', which I'm pretty certain is nothing- these tests are renowned for being innaccurate.

    Ah, Hi Alison! Sorry, I've confused you with the guy who was also with us on the assessment day- I saw him again briefly on the morning of my second interview, wonder if he (can't remember his name!?) made it too? You could always ring recruitment and ask them the date, I've spoken with Emma...

    Yes, I thought so- saw you again briefly on the morning of my second interview. Really pleased for you too, you must be really chuffed!! Am due to start in the 19th also but I may have to delay it, apparently there is another course about 5 weeks after. What depot did you get in the end, am I...
