    A friend payed me back the £300 she owed me from early last year so paid it all to shop a check to get them out the way.the agent tried to get me to take out another loan but i said NO.

    Hi all

    The agency visit went well but they don't have any jobs suitable for me currently - they are going to ring round and see if they can get one. The only job I was put forward for - they've selected other people with more direct experience in that sector.

    I'm definitely finishing end of March. I've now had like a performance review and they scored me as exceptional on all my individual objectives :A so I should also get a decent bonus when I leave. :p I've asked them to delay holiday pay, bonus, pension refund payments into the new tax year so I get taxed less. Not that important if I get another job - but would give me the opportunity to get a tax refund if it doesn't work out like that.

    So just over 2 months to find that ideal job - mega money, local, low hours, keep it clean guys.....:rotfl: The agency reckoned 3-6 months for a perm job:eek: but quicker for a temporary one...

    Bye all for now - see you later. Well done to all those who have managed a bit more debt repayment. Nice to see you join us dizzy bee and others....:j
