The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Thanks girls! I don't really know what's going on yet! The hours at Morrisons are 7.30-10.30am Mon-Fri so as it stands I couldn't work them together, but if they could offer evenings and weekends I'd be happy to do two jobs while I get back on my feet.

I will be Executive Assistant to the Director - sounds v. posh! I don't start until the beginning of July so I will be able to enjoy a proper old-school 4 week summer holiday

I still can't believe it. Phew! But I do feel like it's about bl00dy time someone offered me a job!! Have put the very special super champagne that we've been saving (for about 4 years!) in the fridge, now I really do need to find out how much I'm going to get paid...

Hurray Poddle! That's brilliant, well done.

Cinny I run a small business if you've got any questions send me a PM. Also in my area the council offer free business courses for start-ups and freelancers - it might be worth checking if there are any similar schemes in your area? x x

Well done Poddle that is great news!

She is the only celeb I have seen in a year of living in London, think i walk round in a daze.

Thanks Wendz! I don't know how people spot celebs when they're out and about. When I'm in London, I'm too busy looking in shop windows and trying not to walk into anyone to actually look at their faces!

Evening everyone!

Havent been around for a few days as have been visiting some family for a few days.
Think OH and i have pretty much decided that we are definatly going to move in with his parents. We are going on holiday next week and fly from the midlands so will go and see his parents before we fly out to discuss some final points - rent, rules etc... Bit nervous about not having all my own space but just keep thinking of all the money we would save!!

Great news about the job offers poddle!

Sounds like Lady Luck is on your side Poddle! So pleased for you Will have a custard cream in celebration!

Flower - I think you've made the right choice, good luck with talking to them about it next week. Hope everything gets sorted, OH says good luck with the inlaws too! (He's decided he likes reading over my shoulder, says well done to Poddle too while he's at it!)

Birdie - I've caved and bought the cupcake top
Ooh, wedding on the beach sounds fun! That's my sisters dream wedding, sounds lovely and hassle free!

Lara - Thanks for the offer! You'll most likely get sent a thousand questions tomorrow once I've looked into everything, thanks for the tip on the free courses I'll add it to my ever growing list for tomorrow!

Urgh, NIMs car seems to be playing up a bit, revving itself randomly. Might need that spreadsheet to do some car comparisons!

Thought I would share a VERY blonde moment with you:

Did a mystery shop today. Had a job where I had to buy a coffee, now I don't drink coffee...it sends me even more doolaylee than I am normally. So anyway, looked at the menu and ordered the cheapest... an expresso..when it was served I thought blooming ek shes forgotten to add the rest of the water......yep and I then asked where to get the water from!:rotfl:Why do people buy expressos?????? Get more fluid in my sneezes!:p

Oh no thats rubbish!! I am sure you will manage to come up with a plan though! OHs car did that last year, but luckily his uncle is mechanic so we can get things sorted pretty cheaply - only ever have to pay for parts, which is quite lucky really
