I've so lost my working mojo...there was talk of me moving to another area for a short secondment but I don't think that is gonna happen. I can't decide if a good or bad thing as don't know what would happen with my workload while I'm gone!

I know what you mean. I've had 3 secondments so far this year but I've had to still keep up with my existing workload as well. I can't say I'm happy about it but right now I'm just concentrating on making myself indispensable while other people are losing their jobs.

Wasn't there something called Thunderbird too?

Yup - it was a bit like Mad Dog. Sometimes you still see those things in corner shops.

I don't know why I want to do a secondment really, I've only been in my current job for 10mths and there is still so much to learn. I think I just need a few things to go my way at work!!!! The kid that abused me in the street is likely to get arrested soon for breaching his ASBO so I'll be pretty happy when that happens!!!!

I just need to be a bit more organised and feel like I'm on top of things. I think tomorrow I'm gonna sort out my packed in-tray, do my filing and try and sort out my emails. I think I'll feel better when that happens.

Makeup I just wrote a long reply and when I pressed post it just signed me out :mad: But basically, no I can't afford it :rotfl: It was booked (along with my holiday and another camping trip next week) before I knew I would no longer be receiving child maintenance :rolleyes:

I'd also wrote about the first time I was drunk, I was 15 and Nicnacnoo had to come and pick me up from my mates house, I had to be carried to the car :oAnd the next day I got sent home from work I was so ill. It was thunderbirds I was drinking that night and I've never drank it since, don't even know if they still make it
It was mainly white lightning and special red in those days though so god knows how I ended up on thunderbirds.

I share your pain on that one. On the bright side they'll be gone forever in a year or so - although I'm not convinced Santander will be much better.

Yep, took them 7 months to transfer an ISA :rolleyes:.

ok matched betting next week then But definitely next week - I think you said you've had this on the To Do list for quite a while? I am such a nag

Yes, next week! And definitely the week after, I am off work - woohoo!! Hoping for a week of sunshine :rotfl:. I think my current bleurgh feeling means that I might be due a proper break from work as I haven't had more than a couple of days off since Christmas.

Anyway, it has been on the To Do list for far, far too long I let my mind wander the other day about how much I might have made by now if I'd have started doing it when I first heard about it and it was awful . Keep nagging, I need it .

Eek I have to have at least a week off every three months or I become a complete grump.

Doesn't matter when you start, the offers are just there waiting so you haven't missed out on anything

Don't encourage me to nag, you will regret it..!

Oh gosh, don't copy me. Although I'll be copying Dan I've promised a friend I'll teach her how to do it ifwhen I ever get into it. She's been waiting for a while now :rotfl:

Yes, £50 to £100. It's a pain but unavoidable I'm afraid. Here you read this thread yet? http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=325861

Gwendoline I have edited my reply to you above as I forgot to reply to most of what you said..! This is because I was busily berating myself for spending 61p on Mini Cheddars from the vending machine.

Read some of my recent posts... :rotfl: This year has been quite tough at work, I guess it's the same for lots of people at the moment. I have some stuff I want to get out of the way next week, then I can relax for a week.

Hmmm, can't help thinking I might not have a credit card to pay off and I might have a new kitchen...
