    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.

    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.

    At leastyou've gota big chunk in your ISA Jen :). 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!

    Evening,

    I am having a good bingoport day, won over 5000 points today enough to redeem for Amazon so will do that.

    I am having more luck on the bingo than slots though.
