Thanks cl. That's a bit random! Hopefully you've just forgotten about them... It's nice and sunny here now
. My friend has been trying to boost my confidence a bit via msn, he's showed me a big list of volunteering things he's been looking at so I'm going to do one of them if I don't get this job. I'd like to regardless though, so I might see if any are evenings or weekends.

Then of course i am away for a few days so i will spend more and petrol down to plymouth! eeekkkk:j Proud mum to Jade age 10 years and Baby Ellie born Christmas Day:eek: with a broke heart

volunteering sounds like a great idea. Helping people and having something to do. it also looks great on a CV.
The whole job thing is a nightmare so many people are fighting for jobs at the moment it sucks.:j Proud mum to Jade age 10 years and Baby Ellie born Christmas Day:eek: with a broke heart

. I've found a few volunteering things I'd like to do so will wait and see, one is at a school though so couldn't do that with a full-time job.

Don't feel bad about your spending Jen, you've done so much saving you deserve a treat or two

I agree about volunteering Nikki... I want to do some too... I've been saying that since last year but still haven't asked anywhere :S I definitely think it's easier to find a new job when you already have a job, so maybe if you get the £6 an hour job you can look for something else?
I've just hoovered, got my heart pumping and proves how unfit I am! As for my amazon money, I am 100% sure it wasn;t there last week (as I was looking at mp3 players... but ended up buying one somewhere else because it was cheaper. If I'd had the amazon vouchers I would have bought it off amazon instead). I'm not complaining though!0 -
