I'm sitting at work drinking a sweet tea retelling the details of my journey to colleagues when I receive a call from Barnet Council.
'Is that Madam Latte Days', says voice on phone.
'Oui, c'est moi', I answer - then realising that I'm not in Paris.
She goes on to tell me that she's responding to my email. I frantically think about which one it was - there are so many. Sometimes I wish my brain would have a better cataloguing system - but anyway she gave me a clue.
'You want to be part of the Finchley conservation area.'
'Well not me personally, although I wouldn't mind if I was frozen for 1000 years, but I think the email made reference to my abode'.
'Yes indeed', she replies. 'Well we're considering reviewing that part of Finchley and will certainly take your considerations into account'.
So now I need to do a bit more research on the Arts and Crafts influence to the Village of Finch just to qualify my proposal.
A result!

About Me
- The latte days in North London
- So like a lot of people due to funding cuts etc etc I find myself at 42 on the scrap heap. 16 years of experience working in further education....and tbh it wasn't a career choice that I planned after University. I just landed a job and continued to work in the sector going from project to project. Not very exciting you might think and many times I thought the same. So for one reason or another I find myself looking for that job that will excite, entice and appreciate my knowledge and skills. You'd think it was a no brainer but interviews are getting tougher and tougher and no candidate is left unscathed by the process, I'm going to ue this blog to feedback and reflect on each of my interviews and maybe I will learn something on the way on how to clinch that job.

I will always be happy.
glad to hear it. actually what I said wasn't true, it's listing that really gives you a problem. Any worries give my old chum Mary Hairnet a call at Farnham & Co (now Grindstone Pollock Farnham LLP)
