Awwww thank you.
Shabby chic sounds good enough to me. Good job Mother In Law is not coming round anytime soon as she'd have a fit at the dust. I am not stopping her for grabbing a duster and going wild with the polish on my behalf!
Like you, I do like a coffee, however the cheap instant stuff I have bought, I can't drink. So nasty. Totally going through caffeine withdrawals today..... We do have some posh coffee that needs to go in a cafey-terry thing, at the moment that feels like way to much effort.
Big well done on the working thing. Get them invoices out toute suite and get the dollars back in touter suiter!!!

HI GG I too had a lazyish day today. Really struggling to motivate myself to apply for more jobs. Still waiting to hear re last week's interview - hopefully I might hear something tomorrow. Got very important interview next week still hanging over me... I think I want to know whether I get those jobs before applying for more but still sat here feeling guilty!
I noticed you on Numpty's thread - how are you feeling now? I am about a week behind you on the hormonal thing so that is not helping me either.... I think I am also really bored, bored, bored, bored. Lots that needs doing housewise and no interest whatsoever in doing it!!! At least you have your horse I have nothing like that... Our debts are also worked on as a joint effort so I don't have anyone buying me treats... can seem a little unremitting sometimes...... boo hooo......(Violins playing in the distance....)Achieve FIRE/Mortgage Neutrality in 2030

Hi ya SH.
I have up and down days really concerning the job, or should I really say, COMPLETE LACK OF.
Did I mention the agency called me about feedback re: interview? I posted somewhere but not sure where? I said that I knew I could do the job, yet I think I didnt put myself across very well. Tried to impress the agency as to why my interview was dismal.
Checked a few jobs online. Nada. Zilcho. Zero. Diddly squat. Any jobs I can do, its either too far or toooooo low money. Let me tell you, walking the streets is becoming a very attractive offer!! JOKE. COMPLETE JOKE. Seriously, I don't have the mini skirts for it. LOL. So I hear and take your violins and I raise you an entire orchestra!!!!
I am bored also. My horse is also bored of all the exercise its getting!!! Am sure horse would rather I worked a 90 hour week! Not to mention the dog is getting its legs walked right off. Cannot be flipping bothered with the house, Mr GG called earlier and I was like "Er I haven't done any housework today, am really sorry, feeling a bit blue and low", he was fine with it, to my face at least. He was probably about to self destruct.
Mr GGs debts I have no idea and he wont tell me as I'll worry. So its a case of each to his own and going from there. Mr GG I am sure can't afford to splash any cash on me, but a tenner I can forgive him for.** Proud to be dealing with my debts **LBM - Jan 2009 _pale_ : £24,802.21 :eek:February 2010 :silenced: : £18,078.47 (not including OD)July 2010 = £16,819.34 (not including OD)

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG....
Nearly forgot to tell you.
The nice man in Sainsbury's gave me a £2 coin in my change..... ooooooooooohhhhhhhhhhhhhh *said in the style of the green things from Toy Story*
My weekend was then utterly complete in every way.
Grand total of £16 worth...... hmmmm.** Proud to be dealing with my debts **LBM - Jan 2009 _pale_ : £24,802.21 :eek:February 2010 :silenced: : £18,078.47 (not including OD)July 2010 = £16,819.34 (not including OD)
