    Hi everyone.

    Hope you feel better for the weekend Elsie.:A

    Poor/Reb, I start the new job on 14 April. subject to references etc.:T I'm popping in on Monday to meet my team, and let them know that a new boss is coming to town.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I have been celebrating for 2 days non-stop, so no hangover as I'm just remaining drunk.:eek:

    It's my wedding anniversary today, so I'm waiting for OH to drag himself out of bed and see his vintage guitar case, and then tell me I've been ripped off.
    At the moment both the kitties are sitting on it.:rolleyes:
    About 6 golden coins in the pottie yesterday, I was good and got the tube rather than a taxi home - mustn't get carried away with this having a job malarky.

    Thanks everyone for your congratulations.:A I'm still in shock that they chose me.:o:o:o

    Happy Anniversary Little Chicken,
    They chose you because you were the best candidate for the job, so good for you hun :D

    Best of luck kid :beer:

    How is everybody?

    I have some rather good news to share with the group!

    I have just been taking on as a apprenice , so my wage has gone up from £30 a week to £85 a week :D almost triple. Still doesnt sound much but my mum and dad dont ask for keep off me , i dont drive yet so dont pay for petrol and my employer pays for my travel!

    This year with my new imrproved wage i hope to learn to drive and enjoy life before knucking down next year money wise.

    I have my first DD (might of already said) with the gym! And been very good at making sure the money is in the account at all times i pretend i dont have it so i know its there.

    I broke it to the sealed pot as had no way of getting doctors and needed the 5 pound in there so starting from scratch... AGAIN lol. Bad me i know!

    Mum loved her mothers day presents :D especially the ds i saved hard for lol.

    Take care everyone , hope everyone is well and sorry for the selfish post xxxx
