    Hi all - I'm officially on holiday! :j:j:jNo work for two weeks!!!!:j:j:j:j:j:j

    How did the interview go Jag Babe?

    I've had a fairly productive day.
    1) Went to work.
    2) Packed lunch.
    3) SC x 10p
    4) Posted returns to ebay and Boden for refunds.
    5) Made payments to my CCs.
    6) Organised paperwork.
    7) Bought some clearance items from Boots for pressie stash.
    8)Claimed expenses from work
    9) Borrowed a map of the Isle of Wight from the library for our holiday, and returned books.

    We have a 4 day airshow down at the seafront starting today, and tonight there is an attempt to beat the world record for fireworks so B is off to that with some friends. I imagine it will be very noisy!
    Have a good evening, L x

    Hello,

    I found out today that I didn't even get a chance for interview re my dream job. :( I am now sitting here wondering what is the next step I should/could take and I havn't found the answer yet.

    Anyway today:
    - Scartchies
    - Curly
    - Cashback bingo
    - Gave my rat away, he is now happily sharing cage with 3 baby rats at the rescue
    - Hoping that my neighbours have come back from holiday as I gave last of the rabbit food to their bunnies
    - Blized the holiday cottage as a potential buyer came to view it (it is nice and clean and more spacious for me to stay here as well)
    - All meals from what is in
    "Everything will be alright in the end. If it's not alright, it's not the end."
