    I'm sure your job will be fine Amy-dont worry yourself about it, i think a lot of places are just hanging on to their money as long as they can before paying their bills, i find even with my little business i'm waiting a month where as before it would be in a few days after the sale.
    Well done on your dvd's bargains!! I need to lose about half a stone (and the rest lol) to fit into a pair of trousers i bought for work that i now cant fit into -oops! Wish i had Jens motivation to lose weight! still -i'm going to go out and buy dog food and take the mutt out for a walk,exercise..woo-hooo lol.
    I'm a lot more motivated on doing clicks and cashback sites now ive decided that it will be to treat myself with instead of savings!!


    I'm finding I'm more motivated now too since I made the decision to spend on myself for a change lol

    yep def the right decision, ive spent long enough with every penny from ebay/surveys/clicks going on my debt, now the hard (well not hard but time consuming) work profits can be better spent. That way anyhting left over from my normal monthly spend allowance can go into savings and i wont feel so hard done by about it! theres not really a lot i need, couple of pairs of jeans and a few tops/ hoodies, perhaps a smarter top if i ever go out anywhere (unlikely lol) and some knickers that arent baggy and grey lmao!!!

    Hi everyone...i had a really bad day at work today!.... Im a chambermaid in a hotel. This bloke had Do not disturb on his door so left it till last (he had popped his head out the door to say he didnt want the room done yet), got to lunch it was still do not disturb. reception rang the room no answer so me and receptionist went into room to see beer cans everywhere. Receptionist went off and left me to it, i could smell really strong sick. The cut the story short had he been sick everywhere and covered it up with the throw and blankets and pillows.!!EWWWWWW!!!
    So i got other chambermaid to help and clear it up for me as ive said before i have a fear of sick (she didnt mind bless her) While she was doing that i went in bathroom to find a letter ripped up and put down toilet. Then i found 2 cans of empty furniture polish. They werent ours so he must of been sniffing them hence the sick! Now im wondering if the letter down the toilet was a suicide letter he had wrote just incase.
    I HATE my job! really must get a new one!!! Sorry for the long story!
