    Just phoned the cc company for my last 6 years worth of statements to see if there are any charges I can claim back. I have been charged a tenner for this service and in a bizarre way I'm hoping there are loads of charges so its not a tenner wasted! Off to take the children for their dyslexic lesson and then its the Easter service (joy, freezing me bits off in church)

    Thanks to everyone who has posted good luck messages. The job is doing office work in a local garage. Trouble is I know the owner and I feel that he is interviewing me because he *knows* me and feels obliged. I really have to make a good impression and engage brain before I take my foot out of my mouth to put the other one in.

    School is really annoying me at the moment. Every day it feels like, they want money, red nose day, chickens for Africa, Easter fair. Not only do they want donations for the Easter Fair they then want you to go and buy it all back again. Then the PTA person said if you can't make it can you give your child £3 to spend!!! If only.

    Had a phone call from the scout leader as I hadn't paid there subs and the next ones are due again after the hols. Car has been booked in for Monday for its MOT. OH has got to get some new wiper blades as 1 is held together with duct tape and then get the tyres checked. Hopefully fingers crossed and a good wind behind it, it will pass.

    I NEED THAT JOB!!!!!

    Please let me get that job. Gosh beginning to sound desparate and self pitying. Going to go and get DD2 from Brownies and then slap on a face pack, attack my mono-brow and make it into 2 separate eyebrows and try not to get too ratty with everyone.

    Good Luck for the interview Luc - know what you mean about the school - we had red nose day, an art exhibition where we could pay £6 for a drawing and easter disco on Friday for £4 and special lunch tomorrow for £2 - it all adds up over the year!

    Hope interview goes well x x
