Good luck getting to target Happy! I can understand wanting to fit into your cheap NYC clothes, they're only a bargain if you wear them!
And good luck to NIM! Hope you get the job! And thank you to you and Dinah for keeping up the unhealthy side by having pizza and pudding! Well done!

Thats one seriously moneysaving bar of chocolate Tete - I'm thrilled for you, I love it when little bits of luck club together to make one big bit of luck!

I know I'm still all giddy, it's restored my faith in competitions I might start entering them again!

We were seriously unhealthy Birdie as we had a pizza MS for lunch, and even had to get a huge sharing pudding too!

Is this a certain well known pizza chain? Definitely need to look at MSing if that's the case, OH is addicted to them we must keep the place afloat! Although I've just noticed a 2for1 offer at another pizza chain today and tomorrow only so that might be date night tomorrow.

NIM will find out today (hopefully) if they decided he is 'genuine' enough to get the job (his problem is too honest and moral, so I find this a bit funny!) in the call centre office. Fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed, I remember interviewing for Huntsman and not getting the job because I didn't seem enthusiastic enough - they manufacture polythene for god's sake! So I feel at one with NIM on this, you don't want to be over-keen because it's obviously fake!

if I don't talk again till after 9pm today, it's cos I crossed too many parts of me and fell off my chair, and am lying in a concussed heap still trying to cross more body parts.

:rotfl: I love it when people fall off their chair!

Thats a mean sense of humour you have going on there girl!

I'd have turned back up at Huntsman the next day dressed in a plastic catsuit - can't get much keener than that!

Yep very well known pizza chain, recently rebranded to try to get a wider range of clientelle in than just those with the under 10s in tow.

I've been entering the competitions again lately, a huge box arrived this morning and I was all excited, but it was just NIMs laptop back from Dell again!

I opened another savings account today. Shhh don't comment!

Nice multiple quoting there Tete!

yay to pizza lol i can taste that maybe in a few weeks eh x ahhh ive been thinking 3 of our loans terminate in 2012 so we would only have to over pay on the homeowner loan to save for that ? so i wondered would it be wise to let the 2012 loans terminate when they do it the intrest rate is not so huge ? what do youguys think ? this 60 k worth of debt is a big hammer in its self and i was thinking that really i wouldnt be saving that much of a cash if i cleared the 2012 debts a few months earlier ? i really have the dream on buying my own land ? and well i thought it might be easier to clear the homeowner loan and then look at saving what id be debt busting with ie 2k a month for a deposit on land and a new mortgage or something i dont know what to do, i dont know how to speed things up without killing myself litterally i couldnt do too much overtime.. its ok for short sharp bursts but the job is very stressfull looking at average payrise i think by 2012 i may possibly be on 27k a year a massive 4 k rise so i thought with my payrises id start putting the extra in an account and try pay amounts off in full rather than dribs and drabs my recent payrise adds a whopping 69.50 to my monthly salary so i thought when i get that to 500 pay something off ... and as sad as i am to do so i may have to committ myself to working every sunday and a night shift to get a bulkier wage oooo so far im working 22 unsocial hour shifts before wedding thats to july so i reckon if i try and do it aslong as i can stomach lol i should be able to make abit more of a nice wage with out so many overtime hours hmmm something to think about why cant weekdays be classed as unsocail they are just as hard x

The rebranding that never really happened after they realised no-one would call it by the new name anyway?

I can do multiples from one person's post easy enough, this is the first time I've tried two people in one, had to open it in a new window. Can't remember what NIM said to do

ETA - Sorry Happy, no clue, your post made my head hurt!!

Did you get a chance to look at the spreasheets I sent you. Just let me know if you need me to tweak them in anyway. I have done a few more MS jobs but finding a bit hard to do everything at the moment. oops visitor back in a moment.

Wow Tete what a stroke of luck - I second the lottery ticket suggestion!

Happy - what's your homeowner loan? Is it a mortgage or consolidation?

Had a good day today, except even though I cancelled, evil Napster debited £9.95 anyway. Grrr! However, they were nice when I called and gave it straight back. Watch out if you're Quidcoing it x x x
