First one to clear 15k gets a paper hat

CAFCGirl

WOOHOO!!!!! Savings hun, thats all great stuff!!!

Am really pleased for you for your achievements, hope the interviews go well this week!
I'm sure you'll be fine on the testing as well, its probably not as "full-on" as you think it might be....

Not much planned for me for the next week on the debt fighting front, am trying to work through a new budget with DH, which is a long painful process!!!

Thrilled to bits as have £800 left over in Acct 2 at the end of the month - I thought £600 was pushing it for this month. I'm trying to get it to £1000 at least by the end of May....

I've not included it in the paperhat challenge but this does mean that we have way more than cleared the overdraft. :j When I joined we were regularly overdrawn by £2.2K per month!!!

A quick update on interview progress of the 3 interviews I had last week - I got to the next stage on 1 of them - my favourite so that is really good news. :j The bad news is that to get to final interview I have to do really well on on-line maths and english tests that are timed -:eek: I am "bricking it" especially on the maths! I also have another interview for a diff job next Tuesday so at least I am still getting interviews!

Hope everyone else is ok?

Wow well done on the savings SA and fab news about the interviews :T

How's everyone today, ladies?

Good luck, SH! And good luck with the budget CAFCGirl!

Hope you're all having a lovely Sunday. I've just been on a massive walk and still have a spring in my step. :j I haven't done much towards the challenge this month, but I'm not going backwards either at least.

sounds lovely SW....

I'm back to work tomorrow but I've really enjoyed sittin on my backside today, although getting back into the routine will be good.....

Got nowhere fast with the budget after a dismal performance at Asda.... sad sad times...

Hellooooooo everyone

Having an angelic NSD today - oh the virtue.

Well done SH on getting to the next stage, good luck for the tests.

CAFC - what happened in ASDA? Did things leap from the shelves into your trolley??

SW :T walking, lovely day for it

well PAID it really was quite odd...

There I was minding my own business in the organic fruit and veg area buying my 5 a day, and suddenly this gigantic pack of walkers sensations came flying towards me, smacked me in the face and I was temporarily dazed, in my confusion I selected a packet of crumptets thinking it was a 3 pack of courgettes!
Still dazed and stumbling I fell over a magazine rack, knocked everything flying, including my own basket and in my haste to clear up my mess, 3 magazines landed in my basket....

And I only realised my errors when I got home to make a hearty *organic* stew with fruit salad for dessert! After my concussion and subsequent sugar low, I sat down and read said magazines for a little while and ate two crumpets..... for medicinal purposes solely...

I frequently confuse carrots with chocolate biscuits

Oooooooh, chocolate. Now I am just jealous. I decided that it is diet time (cheaper than a new wardrobe) sob, sob.

In fact, not just chocolate, a Wispa!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the good wishes everyone!:A

wow you have been having a busy time of it cafcgirl! I did a test earlier got 31%tile again which means that 69% of managers are better at maths than me. Last time I did an official test I got 37% which shows that all my efforts to improve my maths over the weekend has actually made the outcome worse by a very important 6%!!!! Boohoo. Real tests still to come...
