    Hi all,

    I got the job!:j:j:j:j

    Had my second interview this morning with the area manager who was really nice and he said i did exceptionally well and after 1hr 45 mins interview he offered me if there and then. Im really pleased it seems a big challenge with lots of course and it will mean my family helping out even more with my dd but they always state this isnt a problem


    Now i just have to get my harris out of the bed @ 5am on tuesday morning to start @ 6am :eek: (i dont do mornings i mean like really dont!)

    So i will carry on the texting work just put it down to 20 hours a week for the time being as this new role is about 42 hours plus of course i have to run the family home, im used to long days and i just want to make things easier at home and make us not have to count the pennies to live on every week.

    Im working tonight till 12 so best get back to it just wanted to add some happiness into my diary for once lol

    love to all xx

    Hi all

    Seems ages since i have been here and so much going on....

    New job is going ok although im doing a lot of hours and today after only 4 shifts i was left on my own ! It went ok but still wasnt pleased with the fact they had left that pressure on me! Anyway i survived, i was up at 5am and now im tired lol... I have been doing 10/11 hour shifts in the shop getting home and then doing another 4/5 hour shift from home.... oh the joys of needing money hey! :whistle:

    Home life is ok.. the fella is a knob jockey and we have come close to walking away few major decisions to be made so time will tell whether we go our own way or have a future. Im too tired to worry about it what will be will be:confused:

    CSA.. yeah right moving swiftly on.... :rotfl:

    I think thats about it really nothing exciting ive just caught up on all my minimum payments so hoping when job number 2 wage goes in at end of month ill be able to throw some at my debtors.....(or book aholiday lol:cool: )

    Love to all xxxx

    Oh Smamfer i'm so sorry to hear that. Just take your time in planning your next move and try to squirrel away as much money as you can, so you've got a little to fall back on when you move. What a let down he's been. Do what's best for you and your DD now.

    Take care hun ;)
