My daughter lacks confidence. I am worried that even if she gets offered a job they may reject for her long term conditions. Even though she has medical conditions she only had one day off in a year when she was working. She loves children and has a passion for teaching. When she comes home and talks about the kids in school she has so much love and care for them. This PGCE has been tough but she has managed it. They gave her a school placement 2 hours away and she comes home exhausted and still has to prepare for the next day.

Good Luck to your daughter with her job
application Swmc . She has worked hard
and overcome a lot!!
Its great to hear of someone who has
a passion for a particular career.!

Have a nice time with your mum Swmc, and I wish your daughter well with her job application. She really deserves to get the job and the kids deserve to have someone so passionate about them as their teacher. :)

I hope your daughter manages to get the job Swmc - fingers crossed for her.

I spent yesterday watching the rugby in the pub with some mates, and today I'm going round my brother and girlfriend's house as they are cooking Sunday lunch. I'm supplying the pudding - sticky Apple sponge which I have made myself :D

Thanks everyone. . I have been up since 5am so i can fit everything in today. Got her prepared now she is just showing me outfits that she's deciding on. I said she has to wear a suit for interview ...she would prefer not to. Davey i hope I get a weekend that is as enjoyable as yours soon!
great that you can cook desert. I managed to have an amazing breakfast when I dropped my mum off to a friends this morning. I have not bothered with lunch as I am so full. It was an south Asian breakfast all home made.

You deserve a rest after such a busy day. That breakfast sounds delicious! :)

Glad you had a good holiday I am looking forward to going to France to see my brother soon for a week. It probably is the first real break I have had in 15 years. The other so called breaks have been nightmares and planned by my husband. Going to Germany to look after his new born nephew is not a holiday!!
Going to a wedding in Pakistan believe me is not a holiday!! I expect France to be peaceful and calming (especially since its my side of the family)

Anyway I wanted to let you all know I lost the case where I was a whistleblower on the NHS. I knew this was likely but I still had to raise serious concerns. The NHS has covered up and manipulated the investigation to get the outcome they wanted. However I have created some changes in behaviour at the top and the community is aware of what's going on. So they will be keeping an eye out and so will I. The NHS has arranged a party within the building I work in to celebrate their victory over me. I feel strong though and I am getting myself back to normal and focusing on family, friends and putting in place things for me for a change. Being a workaholic is making that bit hard but I am working on it. I am the least relaxed person I know!

Im very sorry you lost the case. It takes great
courage & tenacity to stand up against a big
bureaucracy. As for them holding a party !!....
not out of public funds I hope.

From what you have said your challenge
has made some changes and once the
general public become aware of a situation
at a hospital etc - it is more difficult for it
to be repeated. So you should feel you have
done some good-disappointing tho the result
must be for you.

Best wishes and every success in whatever
change of direction you choose to make
in your life.!

And have a really enjoyable & relaxing
holiday - you deserve it!!

I think the fact they are celebrating means they know they are in the wrong but it might help them to cover up their feelings of guilt they might be having deep down ... Well done to you anyway to do what you did, you never know, one day this might raise its head again and your evidence will be regarded differently.
Enjoy your holiday, I hope it will be a relaxing one for you. :)

I hope you enjoy your holiday in France and that it's as peaceful and calming as you're hoping it'll be. You seriously need to relax!!! When are you going? :)

I'm so glad to hear you're feeling much better - I was worried about you there for you for a while. You're a winner in my eyes no matter what anyone else says, and it sounds like your whole community agrees. Your complaint has ensured changes have been made, which is a brilliant outcome whichever way you look at it. You can be very, very proud of yourself!!!! :angel:

Thank you for your kind messages. I am going on 11th April. My brother made a house for his family , i am so proud of him. Its been hard going as french builders dont follow any instructions you give them apparently. So it took way longer. I have a gorgeous neice and nephews and looking forward to seeing them. They can speak English now so much easier communicating. They love coming to England every year and they can't stop crying when they leave. Much more to do here than in the place they live and they are close to my kids.

I am so worried that my daughter may find it hard to get a job as a teacher because of her type 2 diabetes. It was hard getting on a PGCE course because of it...as the secretary of state says something about teachers and their health. She has only had one day off in a year. People who are fit and healthy have had more days off! I hope she gets something soon . She did'nt get the position the other day but she has three more interviews in April.

Im sorry your daughter didnt get the position

people to get jobs at present. I do hope
after all her hard work she is successful soon

Diabetes is manageable now, how can this affect her as a teacher?

I hope she is successful in finding a job as a teacher

Sorry to hear your daughter didn't get the job. :(

I'm sure far more importance will be placed on her sick record than her diabetes, which is obviously very well-managed.

I wish her good luck for her next interviews. Let us know how it goes, won't you? :)

Didnt manage a full day in work last week! Sent home three days and spent yesterday in bed.

I am seriously run down at the moment. Just cannot seem to shift this cold and to top it off I now have a sickness bug that also seems to be doing the rounds! I am never off ill so im not a very good patient!

It is a bad virus at the moment. I had it and had to take time off which I hardly ever do. So just be kind to yourself. It took me 6 weeks to fully recover but i took about 4 days off. Tried to work from home during that time which made it harder to recover.
