    Hiya all.

    Had a busy weekend, all i have seemed to do is shop though! Got a few more peoples pressies sorted though but cash flow is now getting very tight this month eeeek!

    Its my works Christmas Party Thursday, going for a meal and our boss is paying for 1 drink so i am having that and then leaving as i am not happy with my work at the minute anyway, not looking forward too tomorrow and getting grief for being off sick last week. :rolleyes:

    Well done Maria and CL! :D :j :beer: :T

    i dunno the way the market is they might just need to sell it or it could be a reposation. My mate has a house for rent or sale and it has been for a year with no takers! the house is lovely i have been to it!

    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.

    ^You never know... the woman I spoke to said she had been unemployed for ages after being made redundant from a totally unrelated job. She got so fed up she sent her CV to loads of places, even if they weren't advertising, and eventually got the connexions job. Good luck anyway, volunteering will look good for if a paid job does come up!


    I have some ironing to do... really can't be bothered. I was looking on rightmove the other day and the most amazing flat in a lovely area is up for sale. It's £69K - 3 bed spacious flat, i can't believe it! immediate vacant possesion too. They were selling for £120K about a year ago :eek: :D Hope they stay that low.

    Oooo i am panicking now, just checked my bank balance and its £30ish less than it should be on my available balance, i haven't used my card all weekend paid in cash apart from ordering some bits from Amazon tonight and a Pizza Hut online on Thursday, have to wait until tomorrow and see what appears, hope my card details haven't been nicked! :mad:

  • Oh no LM. Could you not phone your card company? They should be able to tell you what's due to come out.
