No, still haven't started

So it's been a month and a half since I was made redundant, and almost a month since I got the job, but I still haven't started it officially! I say 'officially' because I am already doing some things, such as training and some SSSI condition assessments to come, but these aren't paid, rather to be taken as TOIL later on.

The problem is that one of my references went on holiday before the request for his came in (although he is now back and doesn't have any email from them requesting it), so this has led to a delay - the proposed start date of this Friday has now been put back until the 2nd of June, which is very annoying, but at least allows for greater tennis playing time!

I'm having a Eurovision party this Saturday too - my costume is truly spectacular in the degree of shoddiness - I have to say that the shoddier the costume, the funnier it usually is! Everyone attending has to come as either a country or a past act - my past act features much foil, though that doesn't really narrow it down much. one clue: Tanzen!

So here I am, sitting at home waiting to start an exciting new job, but with no income and having run out of things to do a long, long time ago [in a galaxy far away]...
