We had been applying, but the job market is very difficult at the moment. The only interview James got after 40 applications was as a Recycling Canvasser, following up the new Recycling system Hull is introducing door to door. It wasn't what he thought he'd end up doing, but the debts need paying and we need to save to get back to NZ. The day before the interview we prayed it would be better than we expected, and God answered our prayers with a Team Leader role, a brand new company car (Ford Focus) that James takes home each night, and a promotion after week 1! Also nearly 4 weeks of sunshine, has made this job quite enjoyable! Lets hope the winter doesn't spoil it. Amy is signed up to 3 teaching agencies although she's worked hard to get her own work. She is now the first on the list of 4 Hull schools, but has been with the same school for the past 3 weeks! She says the kids are pretty much the same (just a bit more wussy), she loves the interactive white boards, but their is less freedom and much more red tape! Still she's enjoying it and the kids (and teachers) love her accent!
