    Ahh I see. Hope you get it sorted anyway :) My tv is tiny (15" lcd... I won it though so can't complain). I'd really love a nice big-ish new one but it's not really top of my list at the minute. though having a tiny tv is a pain when you have crappy eyesight as I have to sit so close to it! :S

    Afternoon everyone :),

    Thanks for the good luck messages, interview went okay, wouldn't say it was amazing but it wasn't terrible and the people seemed nice. I worked out when I got back that after tax/NI/pension deductions I'd be left with the huge sum of £723 a month, £50 of which I'd have to spend on petrol getting there. I know it's better than nothing but I can't believe anyone can get so little for full time work, it's a bit grim lol.

    Well done on getting the champagne Wendz, I won £11.50 earlier from a free £5 jackpot joy code they sent me.
    Finally bought a home

    I know that grim feeling nichelette after our holiday pay was changed (as it was illegal how it was before) i now get £720 per month its awful, im getting paid less than what i was 3 years ago, but hey its a job (when they dont lay us off) lol

    my radley dog tag is now at £5.50 with 49 mins left thats so cool as i was only going to throw it away when it first came off my umbrella and only found that people sold them on ebay by accident. Good result.

    At least I won't be earning enough to pay off my student loan as well, another 9% and I'd probably be on the streets :rotfl:. That's good about the tag, I've never though of selling anything like that.

    I'm not even sure if I have a mecca account, though I seem to have them for everything else so I probably do.
