    Sorry about the crummy job rejection day Flower, there'll be the perfect job for you somewhere, you just have to keep faith!

    I'm another one who fancies Bruges, I went when I was about 13 on a school trip and I remember thinking it was lovely... and I had the best chips ever from a van! Mmmm. It's worth going back for the pommes frites alone!

    Sorry to hear about all the job rejections Flower :( I'm sure you'll find something though, obviously you were just too good for the jobs you applied for :D Atleast that's what I told OH when he was getting rejected all the time!

    Jealous of the Bruges trip! Having to counteract the itch by searching for cottages in Cornwall for next year, got 1k to play with for the cottage so trying to find something completely over the top.

    Aww thanks Cinny and Birdie, think at the minute i just need anything to keep us going. There is a course i want to apply for next year anyway, so temping wouold be great for me. Maybe i should lower my expectations, would be great if i could get some more hours where im working at the mo, but i've been told that wont be happening and im only contracted to 8 hours a week - which doesnt even cover our spends!

    Crikey!! Who'd pay £30 for some tiny cupcakes?! Madness!

    Found a maybe cottage for my holiday next year click only two downsides really, one it isn't in Cornwall and two it's majorly over budget. Still, it's pretty. I'll put it on the maybe list.

    Oh my goodness Cinny, that's hardly a holiday 'cottage'! It would be brilliant for a big party though, or a wedding!

    ETA: Just saw the inside photos, Wow! It looks amazing, I can't believe you can actually stay there, I'd be too scared to touch anything!
