    No warnings or anything.
    does anyone know how to post SOA? I think I need some help!!!!
    will right my list later as too upset to do it now

    :mad:

    that makes me mad. They should try and SUPPORT you when you're new and on probation. Not dismiss you without notice :mad:

    Poor you really feel for you x

    Oh that's horrid. Been in that situation twice myself and it was without warning. First time the guy I was meant to be working with took a hissy fit when he found out I wasn't the daft wee graduate he thought he was getting but someone who'd been qualified for 9 years! He gave the firm a," She goes or I do" and I had to go.

    Hugs go out to you.
    Almost debt-free, but certainly even with the Banks!

    Hi All,

    Hugs to Sophiesmum, Andan try Ambesol for toothache (Boots do a gel or liquid form - it really helps me out ~ even though it tastes really foul), Lilly hope you are able to find something else - could you go temping for a while?

    Time's flown away with me over recent days (weeks, months) which means that I have not been able to post any MS things that I have done. So I might as well start afresh today, here goes

    Today I have.....
    • Checked online banking - no real suprises there
    • Charged my mobile at work
    • Had breakfast before I left home
    • Had a meeting with work to go through a few things 1) my hours ~ they have asked that I go back to my usual hours, but they work out to be 39.5 hours per week. We have agreed that I can leave early on a Friday, so I will be leaving at 13:30 :T. This means that once the novelty has worn off, I can study in the afternoons. 2) they have agreed that I can claim holiday through the agency, work it and in effect get paid double (we are short staffed, and they will back me if if needs be!) 3) They bought uo the subject of the bonus that I was promised - this should be coming to me in Feb - that pays for college :j
    • Had a low volume heated discussion with Hubby at work at lunchtime. It ended in (me thinking) that he hates me......spent most of the afternoon nipping off to the printer/toilet (crying), and I was ready to book a hotel room to give us some space (£9 Travelodge room through Quidco of course), then thought that I would walk into town after work and treat myself to a Hot Choc and muffin in Starbucks (s*d the diet), now I am sat here in front of the computer - I've just had a HM muffin, a large filter coffee and I am feeling a bit more rational Sophiesmum's news really bought it home - I don't know how Id cope if Mr Candy left me
    • I will put £5 in my terramundi - as I did not go out
    • Called CCCS as they want their payment early I have told them I will pay at the post office. I have also said that I have managed to save a bit of money, and they will be getting extra - £70 - £100 but every little helps.
    What I'm not so proud of today
    • Bought a Latte from work (it is subsidised, so it is not too expensive - I don't drink or smoke.....I fear that I am addicted to coffee though)....And had a bagel bar to go with it
    • Bought a sandwich for lunch - did look for the cheapest and the healthier option
    What I will do in a moment
    • Take bread out of the freezer for a sandwich tomorrow
    • Write up my food Diary on WW website
    • Cook rice to go with Quorn chilli I made on Sunday evening
    • Have a shower and an early night
    Think that is about it. Sorry it's war and peace.

    Take care everyone

  • Hello! :o

    For the first time in no idea I have not spend anything today!!! Took my lunch to work, had petrol in the car and that was that.

    Actually feeling sick at how much debt I have, I'm wondering what the hell was going on in my head to think that a starting figure of £25K was "acceptable" and that I could just pay it off! ha ha! :rotfl:

    Tomorrow - my entertainment will be going to the gym (free membership until 1st Jan) and going to spend nothing tomorrow either hopefully!!! :T

    :D
