Lots of good news!

I'm back at home in Finland, so I can't get appropriate photos to support this post. However, on Monday, Andy had an interview and OJE (bet you don't know what that is!) at McDonald's. I thought he'd done well just to get the interview, given that every job seems to have hundreds of applicants. On Tuesday though, he found out he'd got the job! So proud of him! He applied for so many posts and never gave up and it's paid off. He starts next week. I just wish I could be there for his first day. Feel like I've deserted him.

Neil went to England on Wednesday and had an interview today. He wasn't giving much away when I spoke to him just after the interview but it must have gone well because he got the job too!

All good things are said to come in threes, so I should have been expecting the next one... Josh wafted in his teenage manner into the fridge and informed me that the results are out. He's not even 18 yet and he's half way through his degree. I think that's an achievement on its own but he's got 91% on his OU maths exam and 84% on the Java paper. I can't believe it! Of course, he's a trifle gutted with the 84% because 85 is a 1st or distinction. Even though his course average was in the 90s, he still had to get 85 on the exam to get an overall distinction. When he went on the course Facebook page, he found a soul-mate to commiserate with.

So good news all round - well, except me - but I'm a wife and a mum so I don't really need my own separate good news. I'm happier that my boys have had a successful week and I've just had a nice sauna. Mmmmmm!
