    well done happy on the ppi reclaim - it all helps

    Fantastic news Mrs C that the car payment has cleared and that you have more paid work. That must be a real weight off your mind.

    I am uncharacteristically almost skipping with delight at my nails, new shoes and interview tomorrow. If I got it it would be AMAZING! I think I can do the job I just probably wouldn't have had the guts to apply for it - Agency rang me... got to be good hasn't it! One of two at the mo! Only problem is they think it could be a 90 minute interview - now that is what you call gruelling!
