    Hello Bob!

    Nothing much to report today, I have no list! :eek:

    Got my savings account stuff through in the post, got to get various bits of paperwork together to prove ID etc but can't do that till tonight. Bit quiet at work too, might have a look round jobs sites to see if there's anything exciting out there.

    Ooh just seen that Student Loans interest is going negative, although I think it only applies to the one of mine under the old scheme that I don't earn enough to pay off anyway.

    Think I might go and hibernate, seems like the right weather for it...

    That's OK, I am always happy to have a few nuts on my diary :)

    Feel increasingly cr*p today, tired, can't concentrate, fed up with work, bored, and suffering from an irrational attack of paranoia over something OH said this morning. Aaargh :o

    Hmm I could have a play with the website, that's an idea...

    Actually have seen a job I like the sound of but have the job application jitters already :rolleyes:

    I hate application forms but I love CV/covering letter jobs as you can really go to town on them :D

    Applying cant hurt - go for it!

    OK done a few fun little jobs like redesigning a couple of forms on the website to make them work better.

    Printed out job description to take home. I'm alright with filling in the forms, it's the fear of interviews and the fear of "what if I do actually get it and it's a mistake". Stupid I know.

    Still feeling blaaaah... going to finish work early and go for a little run, then curl up on the sofa for the night.

    Morning, feeling a bit better today.

    Done some more productive stuff - got my online banking password so got that set up, also found that the same bank were doing a decent instant access ISA so have signed up to that too, I now have a total of £5 savings! :j :rotfl: Got my salary to be paid into this other current account from next month so I can actually see a positive balance :rotfl: and start to get my overdraft paid off on my old account. Just need to get all the standing orders and direct debits changed over now.
