Bored or hungry LOL. Well done Emzi you are doing really well. I am struggling as my daughters needed trainers at the weekend. One pair was £40 and one pair was £55 but darling daughter put £20 towards hers.

Sammy,

know what yopu mean about reality tv people! I'm too mean/MS to pay more than a tenner for trainers for myself! (Might be different if I did proper sports in them, lol.)

Good luck with ebay, let us know how you go.

Ok.. 2 more job applications, that's 6 I'm in for - loads more than were about this time last year!

I've also listed 4 items on ebay - some expensive make up I bought but never broke the seal on, and now I think doesn't suit me (I'm too old for the colours!!)

No spending today - have a meal out tomorrow to pay for (although got mate to book it cheap through 5pm).

Bah. Spent £10.16 on picnic stuff and beers for park. Have £96.07 left = £4.36 per day left, PLUS have dinner tomorrow to pay for.

Thurs-Sun better be no spend... and am going to start making birthday present for mum this week.

Have you thought about applying for big brother emz! You get almost a £1 per day per person on there sometimes. And no shops to spend money on. LOL

Had a day off today and txted my (well off) friend who said lets do lunch. I gulped and txted her back that I had no money and I had lunch at hers instead. What about this for a meal. Roasted vegetable flan with salad, baby new potatoes and couscous. She made that much that I brought a plate home for OH and don't need to make anything for my tea either. Cos I'm stuffed. With two glasses of wine, so I am a bit squiffy now.

Sounds like a good day Sammy, heh heh.

I could probably cope with the food on BB but not the nutters they put you in with!!

Thanks for the support!

22 days to go, then I'm paying everything left over for the month right into my egg loan!

Emmzi,

You're doing great - you must have so much willpower! Been following your thread for a while

You'll have a job in no time, the way your applying - Good luck!

Is it today that you see your networking friend?

If so then let us know how you get on.

Emmzi

Today that I see my careers coach - hopefully he will have some good ideas!

I have called networking friend and he sounded quite positive, so I need to call his office and set up a lunch (how very corporate!!).

And this evening I have a meal out with old colleagues - some of them may have job keads for me, you never know!

Thank you for your thoughts, Elona - means a lot having board support, especially when I get a bit panicky about the future!
