    Back from my interview. One word AARGH!!!

    It was awful. I hate interviews with a passion. I can do the job (I think) but I can not interview!!! - i have problems getting my point across!!

    Oh well, should find out by Friday (in time for the weekend!)

    Thanks for the good luck messages - one good thing is that I am not going for a job with alan sugar.

    Evening all, late one for me tonight

    Today I have
    • checked online banking- no surprises
    • scratches- 10p+10p
    • applied for a free mobile dongle from 3- just had to pay £4.95 postage but it will be worth it to get internet at work when it isn't busy!
    • made payment to CC
    • charged phone at work
    • looked for jobs :( nothing out there
    • looked for holidays- nothing cheap enough :(
    That's all for tonight!
  • Even later for me.....:rotfl:

    Done all online bank stuff but dreaming of payday on Friday.....
    Must do petrol claim
    Must look at car insurance
    Must stop OH looking at obscuresaw type things on ebay.....:eek:
    Must go to sleep soon and stop musing......busy day at work tomorrow, need to be focused so am going to get beauty sleep now!

    Sure SM is having a great holiday - so jealous, but she deserves it.
    Getting there...slowly! :D

    GC : must do better
    NSD: very rare

    No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.
