    Erm, I can crochet too a little bit, but only in circles, I have this massive ever-expanding circle on the go. And I can make quite nice cards but only have one design, I'm lacking in inspiration. It's a cupcake design actuallly! Just got a thing off Etsy where they send a pattern and a pair of socks and you can make a cat out of them so I'll see how that goes.

    I'm sure you'll be fine Poddle, let us know how it goes!

    Ooerr! That's sounds fun, you'll have to post a picture when you've done it!

    Good luck with your interview tomorrow Poddle, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you although I'm sure you'll do great!

    I'll make the gift tags to put on the 'present' cakes! I've got a really cute cupcake stamp, I can get stamp happy!

    I tried the m and s ones, they were yum. Really want to try the carrot cake ones.

    I don't really have any creative skills but I am happy to do the advertising hehe.

    I'd expect you to, it's good business sense to check out the competition... make sure you get one of each flavour and extra chocolate ones just in case the first one is a fluke! :D

    Ooh, good news about the meal TPA! I've just had GAP on the phone giving me jobs- for McDonalds though, nothing exciting! I think they must be desperate because when I said I wasn't too sure about one of them (it's a 25ish min drive away and I didn't think I'll get a chance to go) he said that they'll pay me extra, I think he said £15! I hope that's what he said, it was a bad line and he was foreign so couldn't really understand him!

    Good morning everyone

    What a lovely day again. Feeling a bit more upbeat today and Capital One statement should be out today so I can see it below £3400 :T I can't wait.

    Evening everyone

    Well the Capital One statement came out and the interest free period is over so I've had to pay £70 interest this month :eek: It means I still owe over £3404 so I'm a bit disappointed, even though I've paid off nearly £600 in the last month. With that sort of interest I'm going to have to sort out a 0% balance transfer somewhere. Think I'll call Barclaycard and see what they say. I'll keep you posted xx
    Let's start again (really need a kick up the bum now) :wall:

    Well done you, when they phoned me I forgot to act hard to get and didn't bargain. I did think I had accepted a burger job though so was
    pleased when he emailed it through and it was pizza!
