    I told him a while ago I had a real weakness for a man in uniform, think a subconcious part of him is just trying to fulfill my every desire!

    Still no interview - aargh!

    Poddle that's so harsh getting bum injections - hope you get the cash back super quick.

    It's really cool you guys live at home, I would love to do that and save loads on rent. I get on really well with my parents, but not when we live together. Mum treats me like a big teenager, and I turn into one (not pretty) LOL.

    Hi Lara, not me with the bum injections, thank goodness! Poor Pilchard...

    Hope you get some news about interview soon! Academic things always take forever, but it's great you can work part-time too. I know what you mean about living at home - would be amazing financially, but I think I've been away too long now :rotfl:

    Ooh, Dinah, working with the police sounds good for NIM! I know it's a bit soul-destroying doing loads of applications, but it will all be worth it in the end.

    LOL! I've been pushing OH to become a fireman for that reason! :drool:

    I'm starting to worry about Cinny, red nosing pictures?! That's some good work-dodging! ;)

    Hope NIM's job hunt goes well, it'll be cool if he makes it into the police, I hope he's lucky enough to get in!
    Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!

    Nice to meet you helnag, and good luck with clearing your debts. Feel free to hang around, I find it a whole lot easier to focus on clearing the debts knowing I have this lot to report to if I fail!

    Hi,

    Sorry butting in as well. Just read that your OH is applying for police. My Oh has applied a couple of times, didn't pass his assessment last time but just done assessment for MET police and we are waiting to hear back. Is a hard application process but well worth it if you get in i think!

    best of luck to your OH Wendz! Its never crossed my mind how easy or hard it would be to get into into the force.

    Having to go spending later today, my current shampoo is useless! So off down to asda in a second. I will behave! Mainly because I've moved money into savings so I don't impulse buy.

    Thanks, it is quite tough from what I have heard and seen of the application form. They obviously need the right people. Don't think i could do it though.
