Afternoon everyone, it's really sunny here but I'm still really cold.
I had my interview this morning, it wasn't that bad and I didn't start shaking like I normally do which is a plus, but equally one of the other people could have walked in and been amazing, will see what happens. I'm exhausted now (so much so that at the moment I don't even care if I get the job) and would love to go to bed but I'm strange and can never sleep during the day.
Money wise I've ordered the consumer pulse voucher as my sister has agreed to give me the cash for it which is good. I should get on dooyoo too, but I'm too tired to write anything worth reading.

Hey Nikki
Oooo fingers crossed for your job. When are you likely to hear about it?
I hate going to bed during the day, i can normally have a nap on the sofa though!

Thanks Amy
.
I was told it should be by the end of today, but I won't be upset if I don't get it. Even if I do I have to be CRB checked so I think it would be at least a month before I could start. I'm going to make macaroni cheese tonight as it's my brother's birthday today & it's one of his favourite meals, so I have to wake up!Finally bought a homeStarting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.470 -
good luck with the job nikki fingers crossed. i think i have just lose a bloke his job he came round from the dogs trust about sponcering a dog then when i said i can't afford it at the moment he went on to tell me about jobs addressing envelopes etc and gave me a leaflet . i thought about it then phoned and complained it is not on he is working for a charity he should focus on getting sponcers. The dogs trust are a charity and they pay him to get sponsers and he was moonlighting! not on when you work for a charity!:j Proud mum to Jade age 10 years and Baby Ellie born Christmas Day:eek: with a broke heart

Its all good though. Mmmmm i love Mac CheeseDebt: just my mortgage0 -
Thanks Jen, I'll make sure I let you know when I find out. I hate charity people on the street, there are always loads in Brighton that I try to avoid. It annoys me when you tell them you can't afford it and they keep pushing you anyway.Finally bought a homeStarting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.470

Just got a call from the job people, I didn't get it because basically someone had experience of working with families & children where I didn't. I don't really mind but it's annoying as apart from that they said they really liked me and couldn't really criticise what I said. They knew the experience I had when I wrote it on the application form so why bother interviewing me if they were going to say that?
Never mind lol, I'm considering asking the place where I use to work for a job temporarily. I'd go back there but there is no way I can survive on £800 a month after tax when I have debt.Finally bought a homeStarting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.470 -
Sorry you didnt get the job nicki that sucks :-(
Just got my £15 voucher from dooyoo so have ordered OH a nice porsche book for xmas which cost me £1.24 yay!! noticed Amazon have reduced their super saverfree postage to a £5 spend instead of £15 so will withdraw another voucher when i get to £10 on dooyoo instead of waiting til £15 :-)0 -
Thanks mm, the temp agency called me an hour after I found out saying they might have two weeks temp work for me so that looks like the silver lining.
I haven't done anything on dooyoo today, but I did read about the amazon thing the other day. I'm glad they've reduced it to £5, I found that £15 was a really annoying amount because a recently released dvd or boxset is often just under that price.Finally bought a homeStarting mortgage £289,500 31.01.19 - Current outstanding £192,586.98/CENTER]Overpayments since 27.03.19: £52,407.470 -
Evening all.
Woohooo that Amazon thing is good, i should be able to get my first Dooyoo voucher soon.
Well i have lost a tenner on take a break, i opened 2 accounts, one for me and one for OH but they want ID to withdraw, my passport, bank statement and copy of my debit card!

Ooops oh well thats what ya get for being greedy, at least i can still do one and will make the tenner back eventuallyNow a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month0
