    Hello All

    Just a quick posting for me at the moment (I will come back on and read everyone's DFW things and post properly, but

    I HAVE A JOB!!!!!!!!!!

    As you can tell, I am really excited. I went for the interview this morning (spent a bit of money, but that is another story), waited all day (it dragged) and got the call this evening. I start on Monday and I am having a working interview. Basically it is a chance for them to make sure that they have picked the right candidate.

    Off to celebrate with Hubby and Mum.

    Catch up with you all later

    Hi Everyone - just calling in.

    Very odd day for me -- but here are my small things:

    - done scratchies and clickies
    - checked online banking (been paid, but all sucked out by various bods, so looking very dire)
    - my CCCS welcome pack has come
    - gathered documents for opening my new bank acc. tomorrow
    - meals from stores
    - placed tesco order and used clubcard vouchers (so saved about £18)
    - no heating on - lovely weather here
    - low spend day (only bus fare)
    - watered seeds (no signs of srouting yet, though)
    - pack up some lunch for tomorrow

    Nothing else for me, I don't think .... hope everyone is ok
    Aiming to be debt-free, and have my degree, by 50 ! :j
