    Awww sorry to hear that wendz.

    I havent been around as i have got myself a second job for xmas and i dont know how much longer i can do both for, if i didnt call in sick for my normal agency job on fri i would have worked 26 hours with only 2hours sleep inbetween which is crazy, but i so want to be able to work both so i can do some serious debt busting and afford xmas and my car tax and insurance and to pay off my braces, see the list is endless!!! And this new job pays £1.50 per hour more than the agency i am with but is only untill christmas eve.
    Due to budget cuts the light at the end of the tunnel will be switched off.
