    Hey there,

    Just been catching up on your diary - subscribed now! Wishing you lots of luck on your job interview and applications. Something will sort itself soon.

    I hope you are feeling better now, i've been there and know exactly how you're feeling. It's amazing what a difference a good cry and sleep can do. Waking up a different person in the morning and yes, it def makes you feel like you are losing your mind :rolleyes:

    Hope you stayed away from those malted milk, they're nice with a cuppa though ;) xx

  • Oh yes Lucielle, i am contacting Avon tomorrow!! I though why not give it a try!! I have also had a message from another lady about Body Shop at Home which i think i might try once i get a job (as its £100 start up) as id quite enjoy that.

    I thought Avon might be good as well for me to walk off some of that malted milk weight!!!

    Goodluck with the interviews and a thought - if you have sold those books - why not put the money in a seperate pot for the body shop start up kit - anything extra you do or extra you save by not doing it - then you will have the money for your start up in no time at all. And it won't have cost you anything either.

    I save any treat money and add it up (wine, flowers etc that I dont spend money on) and then I use that money for something I need (for you that would be your start up kit for body shop) and then technically by being a bit frugal - you havent actually used any extra money to get the thing you wanted - make sense??

    Look at OH going away as the chance to save some money on food electric etc and then put that money to your start up kit too - with him away I am sure you can just munch your way through the cupboards and not have to buy anything special this week.

    Goodluck with interview tomorrow xxx

  • Thanks fayjmck!
    Im gonna do that as its true its money i didnt have anyway! I made £40 so its really not too far away for the £100.

    When hes away i never put the heating on etc, hes terrible for having it on full blast and i turn it off when hes not looking. *sly smile*

    I have a key meter for my electricity (no gas) and it is so expensive, i can literally hear the numbers ticking down! LOL

    Someone else said they have a 'treat account' where they put spare money and ive never thought of that, might be nice to do...ive got a piggy bank i could use..

  • Its a manufacturing secret...Its something they put into the fabric to that when your not looking they shrink and then you have to spend more money at their shop to get another one..
