The 'I want it NOW!!' debt/savings thread

^^Definitely! I've just withdrawn £525.28 by cheque :jCan't wait to receive it.

Nikki I went to connexions earlier in the year before I went to college - they were really helpful and had loads of decent paid jobs on file. Loads more than were advertised in the window anyway. i'm not sure about volunteering there though - I thought the workers were paid? The one I spoke to definitely was as she was telling me how long it took her to get the job.

I really want to do some volunteering as the thought of working still petrifies me (not because I'm lazy)... and it would be good for after April as I'll have some references for when I start applying for accountancy jobs. I just can't bring myself to ask in town

eta: Maria I think it's one code per person. You could always do it for other famiyl members though if you open another account..? x

They are paid cl, but there is no way I'd ever be able to get a paid job in one at the moment as I don't have any experience of anything like it, or even an NVQ in something related. I thought it might be a way for me to get my foot in the door. The stupid thing is I have first hand experience of almost everything they seem to cover, not that it counts for anything lol.

there are loads of jobs that you can;t get without experiance it is stupid as you need a job to get the experiance! sillyness!

Ive just been playing with mortgage calculators online as we have found a house we quite like the look of thats selling for dirt cheap only £79k for 2 bedrooms and no chain! Everything esle is still £120k for a 1 bed flat still!

Ive found we can get a 70k loan for an 80k house for £408 per month at 6.99% fixed for 5 years. Its the best interest rate i could find online so far.
