Well bugger me

My good friend x called me yesterday morning to say he had received a letter from WYF&RS stating he had passed the application form stage and was invited to do the next tests at the end of Jan. I am well chuffed for him. But i was a bit miffed as he put his application form in after me so this naturally got me thinking has my mine been lost or have they not replied because i have been unsucceful !!! AARRGGH!
so i rang up HR & recruitment and explained that my post had been really bad recently and my friend had received a response even though he submitted his form after myself I was concerned that a response could be delayed or even lost. The lovely lady took my name and asked my friends name and then told me if i dont get a letter within a week inviting me to the next test then i should call them and they can tell me a date to go in!!!!! BLOODY HELL ! first stage passed. (not gonna be happy until i see it in black and white though)
Now got to start studying for the written / psychometric tests and continue my fitness drive as well as trying not to count my chickens so to speak.
