  • Hi All

    Unfortunately I didn't get the job I went for on Monday :sad:. Apparantly it was a close call between me and someone else and they chose the other person because they had more admin experience. I asked if they had anything negative to say that I could learn from for the next interview and they said they had no negative comments which is good. Just goes to show how tough it is going to be as they are looking for the most experienced. Has made me realise what I do and don't want to do though so I will keep looking.

    Today I have/will:
    -Check online banking
    -Transfer money to ISA
    -Surveys
    -Sort out money for next month
    -Have brought in lunch but did buy some Mini Cheddars :rolleyes:
    -Look for Mystery Shops
    -Look for new jobs
    -Look on Cex/money Magpie - I keep putting it off!
    -Ask boyfriend if he has got anything I can take to work tomorrow as staying at his
    -Ring up online shop about my order
    -Free scratch - 10p
    -Amend some agency stuff for jobs
    -Clicks

    Have a nice Wednesday :D

    Can I ask what racecaller is please?
    it's a website where you tip horses in the racing (no spend involved) and for every winner you pick, pigsback pay you 10 piggypoints. You need to sign up for it via pigsback, but I don't think you can sign up with them any more as racecaller seems to have disappeared off the pigsback website.
  • Thanks :beer:
