and you are ill too, how annoying
the wind is scary today!

The flight was fun:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.

Still feeling rubbish. Heard there are to be 20 new midwives starting in our unit - that will probably mean less bank shifts available. How am I to save up for Oz without having bank shifts on tap?!:mad:

on the upside will mean more time at home, sorting and ebaying xxx

look for the birght side!

But I know what you mean, thats annoying, they will need their inductions etc so grab those shifts while you can!

Is it case of 20 start but only 5 end up staying or is that wishful thinking!!!! Glad you landed safely as just seen a plane landing in the wind (in the nwespaper ) and omg im glad i wasnt on it!!
Just think of that free time that you will have ebayibg and you can be clutter free, just dont sell or your furniture before you visa is sorted or you be sleeping on the floor!!:o

Lol thanks ladies:p! Yes there are bright sides to it - but of course if I can't do bank it means I have to take more flights to get home as there is no way I'm staying down here having days off - more expense:mad:.

Never mind, I've booked quite a bit. Maybe once most of the Oz initial costs are out of the way I should be a bit better off. Applied for 3 jobs - one with a Trust who has offered sponsorship so that might take a bit out of my costs:o.

Just done all the surveys in my inbox. One bank payment due in on Thursday (around £200), then hubby's wage on Friday (around £425). Had to post a cheque off tonight for hubby's speeding fine £60. Also have to pay a parking fine before it doubles - 2 x stupidity = £90:mad:.

MUST BE MORE CAREFUL!!!

On the plus side - planning to list 2 or 3 items on ebay each day before I go to work. Hopefully that will help get some cash in. Also did another Amazon trade in of an old DS game of my sons = £4.50 being added to my gift certificate balance.:T

Planning to print off the FOS complaint form and photocopy the Santander correspondence to send off my complaint and hopefully get my £25 back! Must make use of a very reasonable nightshift .

What else can I get up to?.................

Have arranged a little "night in" with the girls on Saturday night. We are using a DVD from the free love film trial (which is netting me a £20 River Island voucher for sister in law's Christmas), for entertainment and using a £10 Nandos voucher (from a previous complaint) and our 20% NHS discount for a takeaway. We have the ingredients for French Martinis in the cupboard.............. cheap and cheerful .

Hi Gargrave...

Just wondering where you found the LoveFilm trial with £20 RI voucher? Could definitely use that as a Christmas Pressie I think?

Love reading your thread, you are doing so well and v jealous of the move to Oz. We would love to move to Perth, when we went a couple of years ago we were very tempted to put the for sale board up when we got home. The only thing that stopped us was family. I hope it all works out for you.

Plans sound fabulous for the weekend.

Have you checked your credit file for any unwarranted searches / odd linked names etc? thats something you could get your teeth into too!

Ive just written off to experian as there was a search for a person with the same forename as me and different surname linked to my credit file and they had searched for thousands of products from mortgages to credit cards....
