My mums 50th today and I've only just realised

She didn't find out luckily enough, bought her a nice fossil watch and I've had it engraved for her, and took her to the quorn country hotel for afternoon tea which was nice.

Landed an interview for the BBC in London as a software developer

 

Will be a bag of ****ing nerves lol

 

In my experience BBC board are all 'give us an example of when you've..... lead a team, convinced someone etc. etc.' What  they term 'competency based' interviews.

 

Given that you're in for a software developer role there'll be some technical elements no doubt but I doubt they'll be like mine where I had to mix a radio programme as an operational assessment.

 

If there's anything I can help with drop me a message

Gave myself the day off, caught the bus to Market Harborough, then walked back to Oadby along the canal via Foxton.

Feel a bit footsore but well chilled.

Nice walk that, did you stop off at the pub in Foxton?

Do any of you have hobbies? 

 

I used to play in brass bands and different contemporary music groups, but that option doesn't really exist at the moment. 

 

I am thinking about other hobbies I could do. Perhaps restore a car, set up a small business, or something. The kids keep me busy, but I need to find a hobby to be passionate about. Something to take my mind off the daily stresses. Something other than FT and Leicester City!! (not that they are bad, but they are not really a hobby I can pursue either)

 

Inspire me!

 

Yes. Collector of diecast models. Used to go to fairs and everything, but haven't been for a few years now. Still enjoy collecting, mind.

 

People will laugh but it's nice to have something different than just sitting on a computer system all day. I don't play playstation/xbox either.

No, neither myself or Mrs Buce drink.

We did stop for a snack and a rest by the locks though.

Take him into town and have a walk down Charles St that will sort him out.

Well, what a day! This afternoon I had a secret lunch with my GF's parents to ask for permission to ask my GF to marry me!

They said yes :) and to make things better, the ring arrived today

Permission sounds weeiiiird. Are they like that or is it more 'approval'?

It was more the approval, I had no doubt they'd say yes tbh.

Her mum likes all that rubbish, so I thought I'd better ask, just to be on the safe side.

I like the idea of it tbf, it must be a pretty good feeling (amongst the other obvious ones) to know they're happy for you to steal their daughter away!

 

Congrats!
