wooo hooooo things are slowly getting there

Im so excited, :j my new job as a Care Assistant is very nearly here (I have had to wait for CRB checks) :mad:
Its not the job I wanted to go back into (I wanted to go back to sitting at a desk and typing) the easy life for me but at this moment in time money is more important than job satisfaction. :A

The money is above avereage wage but still not as much as I was getting when I was a Community Support Carer (I have moved and dont know this area at all hence working in an old folks home), but it saves money on petrol and stuff.

Below is what I owe, and it helps me to keep focused... I have phoned all concerend and let them know my predicament (no job = no money) and as soon as I get some in they will have it. Some were OK with this but the CT peeps wanted money that I dont have, they were very short with me :mad: I have to call them back in 2 weeks time, if I have no money to send them they will send the Baliffs round to my boyfriends place, he owns his own flat and everything init (I dont think they can touch anything off his). :confused:

I am staying with Boyfriend till debts are all clear and I have saved enough to get back on my feet. T hen I will be looking for a place of my own :cool: I dont pay him any rent, only £20 per week for food if I have any money......... he is truely helping me get back on my feet and he wants his flat back hehe. :rotfl:

When I have a clearer idea of my wages I will do a SoA :p and work it all out for you guys.
