Burlesque Babe's Re-building life but back in debt diary

Burlesque_Babe

thankyou lovely people

well, he was pleasant and friendly when he appeared....at 10.30 :rolleyes: and I could tell he had taken on board what I'd said, but I doubt there there will be a major personality shift.......anyway......

Mortgage has gone out. £25 left in account. Next DD is £12.77 in about 10 days time, by which time my WTC will have gone in. I will have 2 x£25 minimum CC payments to make and if I am going to move the £50 back, I will have £7 left for the month....

However, there is plenty of food in the house and I've enough pertrol for the next 7 days at least, so one day at a time.

Office this morning, invigilating this evening.

Had an email from the school I was teaching the sixth formers saying they don't have any vacancies but keep me on file etc. Wasn't expecting there to be any, but at least they know I'm keen if something does crop up.

Got my interview suit from Evans, plus the Ann Harvey jacket from ebay. The Evans jacket is going to go back as I don't like the fit, but the AH one is excellent. Also not sure about the blouse, as there is a vest top on ebay for 99p ending today, which I would prefer to wearing a blouse under a jacket - I hate the 'bunched up' feeling.

However, as I haven't heard anything about live job number 1 (corporate trainer) and the interviews are on Tuesday, I'm guessing that I haven't got an interview, so the need for an interview suit isn't as urgent. I suppose I could get a letter tomorrow but I think it's a bit late. So much for the 'encouragement' of someone in the department and recommending me to the recruiting manager :rolleyes: but if it's not to be .....

Bank account balance - £25 :rolleyes:

daily scratchcard - won 10p :rolleyes:

No letter so can scratch the trainer job off the list :rolleyes:

It is almost raining rapeseed pollen so I feel like I've been clubbed over the head :rolleyes:

Need to do £30 on AQA to catch up :rolleyes:

Also need to spend the afternoon planning the IT course I said on Monday I'd teach- which starts Saturday :eek:

did you win the top on ebay?

Burlesque_Babe

decided not to bid Maz. When I looked again, I realised it was made of a t-shirt kind of material and I wanted something which was a bit more 'officey' looking under a jacket for an interview.....however, I did get a skirt......for £1.04......so when that arrives I'll decide about the skirt I already have and see if I can put together an even cheaper outfit

I've definitely got time now I know I don't have an interview on Tuesday. The next 2 jobs close tomorrow and I know the interviews for one of them is on the 27th.

Hi BB

Been lurking for ages, so thought it was time to break cover and wish you all the best of luck for the jobs. It's clear how hard you are working, and it seems time for some good karma to reward that.

You have my empathy about the rapeseed pollen too - must be a nightmare. I'm not too near any yellow peril at the moment, but I always know when I'm driving anywhere close, even if it's hidden from view.

Burlesque_Babe

aawww, thankyou Hollyberry

I have to say I feel to tired to be AQA'ing, OH is up so early at the moment and after doing office job and then some teaching prep. I fancy slobbing out for an hour but I reckon I've got about 5 hours work ahead of me to get the money I need today on AQA.

Burlesque_Babe

WTC have gone in so balance in account now £107.

I'll pay the minimum on the 1 CC statement I have and then the next one when I get it. Takes me down to £57 of which I am determined to put that £50 back into my savings.

Need to think about a trip to town soon to bank the NI refund cheque.

As soon as I have got my final outfit together, I will be able to return the unwanted bits to Evans. Going to book the 27th off today in case I get an interview for the one where Cruella could show her face.

Emailed you BB..

Burlesque_Babe

I will be replying very soon Sammy

Came home and the other CC I'm paying minimum payments on had arrived, so paid them both. Down to £57 in my account.

Need to do some creative shopping over the weekend as I'll be doing cakes for my birthday at work and I need to do enough for 40. Got plenty of ideas and will do a reccy of the cupboards first to see what I have and what can be made from the ingredients before I spend anything extra.
