    Have a good one Jo, I'm glad you're okay. I was worried you had been flooded with the bad weather you had down your way.

    See you when you get back,

    Hi BF, a neighbour down the road told my husband about the job. It's cleaning offices and corridor of an Art college at the moment - I just hope they don't ask me to do the toilets as I've done that before and it's yucky especially the mens. I'll be doing 6-8am and it's only 7mins down the road by car so very local, I start work at 9.30 so have enough time to get home and shower etc.

    SL - sorry to hear that you didn't get the job, but yep it's definitely there loss and I have to say that you can't really gage what a person would be like doing the job from just one interview!!!! I'm only moaning because I didn't get a job that I really wanted a few months ago....especially as I would have been earning £8000 more than what I'm on and it was for a welfare to work company as well.

    I'm being naughty and eating Pringles at the moment cos I'm starving...just waiting for OH to come in so we can something to eat.
  • This week has gone so fast! haven't done any excersize since monday! and eaten too much bread everyday, and I didn't manage to stick within my wages this month, so I'm a bit annoyed with myself!

    I'm also losing hope with the pole dancing, I was hoping to build up some strength, get fit and learn a cool skill but I can't imagine how I'm ever going to be able to do it as I have absolutely no upper body strength and can't even do a proper push up! Sorry for the whinge!

    I'm sorry to hear bout the job Lynne but fingers crossed for the next one! I went for my dream job a couple of months ago and the feedback was that they felt I didn't know how to do one particular task which I actually do every week in my current job so that was really fustrating! I hate interviews!!

    oh Tesscha, I want Pringles! I love them!!!!

    Have a lovely holiday Jo, and I hope your comp gets fixed for your return!!

  • Hi Girls,

    I'm eating frazzles (I luv them) and drinking gin and tonic, I buy the wee ready made can of it now and again. Just 1 for old times sake, cause if I have any more, I would be swinging from the chandilers!!!:p

    I'm actually not bothered about the welfare job now, I really wanted it, but I would not want to work for people that think you speak to someone as if they were dead!!!! What sort of thing is that to come out with???

    This job on Tuesday has a car and the money is better so I'll have a go at that. The thought of the welfare one was great and I know that I could do it really well, but as I said earlier on, it's their loss. I hate interviews as well, they are a really false environment at times, these ones with the stupid tests. The one I had on Monday night, going back on Tuesday was really good as they actually spoke to you and did not expect you to act like a performing seal:T :T (you can tell that I have been drinking, the cheeky juice)!!!

    Speak to you all later,

    When will the smileys work again, I miss them!!!
  • Hey All,

    Well done on the weight loss!!! You are all doing so well!!!

    Lynne - sorry about the job, but que sera sera - you will find the perfect job, its just around the corner.

    Blue - hope you are staying dry and that you are doing ok with the nights.

    As for me - its all gone a bit drastically wrong - OH has had a bit of a fit and has decided he needs some space, ive not heard anything from him since i left on Thursday - ive been sleeping with friends and am now in my nanna's spare room and she is looking after me.

    I dont really know what to do with myself, we are supposed to be going on holiday on the 29th (ive decided im going with or without him!!!) and 75% of our comboined debt is my name - im left with so much debt i would have £300 a month to eat, house myself, run the car and everything else. Its all a massive nightmare.

    I dont know if he is going to want to work on it or not, he has said its all his fault, he wants to live a single life and not have a care in the world but he has to start thinking about me sometime - it just hurts so much.

    Anyway, the tears are on there way again so im gonna go play with the puppy and stop thinking about it lol.

    take care all - i will try and come back on later, but im on a dodgy connection

    Aw puzzled,

    Here's a wee ((((((((cuddle))))))) for you. Has OH been acting strange or is this out of the blue. My DH done something like that a couple of years ago, but came back 3 weeks later. I suspected him of having a bit on the side I'm sorry to say, but he has always denied this. We are really happy now, so things can work themselves out.

    I'm usually always around if you need to chat, u can PM if you don't want to post on here.

    I'm thinking of you,

  • awww puzzled big hugs for you :( I hope things work out in the end whichever way the situation goes.

    Lynne boo for their stupid feedback! Should we all be thinking you sound like Eeyore now? lol

    ok im sick of maintaining, so seriously getting stuck into the diet and exercise this week! Walking into uni every day and would like to walk home on the days when its not raining and im not in a rush to do anything after my works done. No junk food this week. Healthy snacks will be yoghurts and fruit, perhaps some low calorie 0 fat ice lollies to keep me on track. I NEED a loss this week! as it currently looks like im set for week 4 of maintain!

  • bleugrgh, it's a Monday morning and I'm back on the straight and narrow. Last week went to pot money wise and food wise as we were still in holiday mode; however now we have too knuckle down again.

    We spent on the credit card on holiday; because we were determined to just have a good time no matter what. I was dissapointed with myself in one way; but in another I thought; well when we get back home we'll be knuckling down and this is our last major holiday now for a few years; so I intended to enjoy it!

    The good news is that I plucked up the courage to weigh myself, and I have maintained! So has hubby; we are both well pleased that we didn't pile on the pounds!!

    But today is tighten belt time. My concert date is coming round soooo quickly; it's scary, and as the camera adds 10lbs, I need to lose at least that to look relatively the same as I do now lol

    We have a few things to buy as I get paid today; a chest freezer (this is mostly with my birthday money!) and a shelf for above it, and we need to book 2 hotels, one for new year and one for a friends wedding in Shrewsbury in November. I also need to get a few tops for work, and maybe a winter coat (primark here we come) and then we have determined to stick to our budget until we have paid off the debt! Wahoo!

    So that is my motivating monday morning speech! How is everyone else? xx
    Personal challenge: Do without as much as possible to pay off £12k by 07/2009!!!:T
    Bluejeans Challenge: Spend less - Eat less! Need to lose [STRIKE]4 [/STRIKE] 2.5 stone (:eek:) then maintain until my concert in Dec!!
    Cady's jam jar challenge.. how much will be in the pot?!

    Budget: a mathematical confirmation of your suspicions.
