Hey SH,

Congratulations on the bonus and good luck with all the applications. Sounds like a funny calendar. I like the Far Side ones e.g. the Academy for Gifted Children with a kid trying to pull open a door that says 'push'. :rotfl:

CMD - well done on your progress. I need to reign myself in as well. Not doing too bad on the money front but I've put back on all the weight I lost last month :eek: and am feeling rubbish. Gonna do a little spring cleaning now to get moving.

CAFC - have you got your redundancy money yet? I can't belive it's taking them so long - a bit suspicious, don't you think. I once left a job and they didn't pay me for all the hours I'd done so I went down there and refused to leave the front office until I was paid. I said they could call the police if they liked. It was the kind of office where customers came in, so I said I would also tell the customers what was going on. After about 30mins I was paid in full, in cash, by the boss. :rotfl:I was terrified at the time, but even more terrified of having no money. These things are sent to try us. (I'm not suggesting you do that by the way!)

Didn't get last week's blood, sweat and tears job either... need some new interviews to come through.... Came second, was overqualified - she felt I could do her job... doesn't pay my bills tho does it!:eek:

But you've got more job applications in the pipeline, haven't you? Overqualified? How annoying. A friend of mine kept getting turned down for jobs as he was just too good - every interviewer was intimidated by him. He's very clever, funny, eloquent, great looking, highly qualified, great people-person etc. He ended up joining a start-up company where everyone was new and so nobody felt threatened by newbies.

Fingers crossed for you SH!

Sorry to hear that SavingH,

Sometimes I think they shouldn't bother with the feedback as it is more depressing. I have had a few interviews in the past when I cane 2nd and the feedback never made me feel any better.

Any more interviews coming up?

Well done! That is a load paid off! Is that you nearly debt free then or do you have a bit to go?

I have been slack so need to pull my socks up and get rid of some more. Had a high phone and heating bill in Feb though. Thankfully, not having to pay council tax helped a bit!
