    :jOMG I've found my dream job, I want it, is it ok to beg?! Anyone really good with application forms? I seriously need to sell myself :dance:
  • @ Cleosmum - What's the job?

    Today, I've:

    Done daily scratch - 20p.
    Bought my weekly shop at Sainsbury's (all of it from the Basics range) using a giftcard my grandma gave me and not bought anything that wasn't on my list, despite how hungry I was at the time.
    Sent an e-mail to Sainsbury's asking why their Basics range includes UHT milk but not regular milk (not sure if this counts as a dfw thing, but maybe they'll start doing Basics milk).

    And that's about it really. :D
