    I am back if anyone is around for a bit longer tonight. Went for a sleep, I was up until 1am worrying about today and up at 7am again :o

    I am at the charity shop tomorrow and going cinema tomorrow night with my friends, I should have been paid today but wasn't :rolleyes: They are paying me Monday apparantly!

    Payday is always 25th but the Friday before if it falls on a week, apart from this month it seems! :mad:

    So we were supposed to be going out drinking but going cinema instead as my best friend doesn't get paid until 31st.

    Just been playing take a break free bingo again... didn't win. Waiting for my £120 to be refunded now!

    eta: lilmiss what do you do at the charity shop? Volunteer? wish I had the balls to do something like that... my cv could do with it.

    Cl- working it a charity shop would be a good first step for you. it would build up you confidents and look good on a cv but they would also support you and not make you do anything you are not ready to go. They would really support you and apprieciate your help

  • Good on you, lilmiss, great charity too :)

    Jen I know you're right... & to be honest, now my dad is here I actually want to get out the house more often! College is only one night a week now too. Hmmm I'm gonna do some researching about it tonight, see where there are vacancies. Just hope they won't make me face people on a till straight away :S

    they won't if you explain... Iexpect any charity shop would take you just pick a charity you like and go for it. Maybe one morning a week to start with?

    Well done for thinking about it you have come so far over the last 6 months with college and facing things!

  • Haha yukki, sounds worse than it is! I have just been buying 36 tickets for all the free games... works out as £61-ish per night! Makes me wonder how much some people on there spend each day. SCARY.
