  • Yeah, not too bad tonight, thanks.

    Going to look around at cars tomorrow hopefully, want to sit inside a Scenic and see how much leg room is in the back.

    I'm freezing, it's getting colder at night now. Having to buy winter clothes for all the littlies, been looking for fur lined Next ones on Ebay, bid on one the other day in 18-24 months and it sold for £12, I bid on one tonight and won it for £4.21 plus £3 Recorded post so am very happy.

    Hi TMD - my OH and I went to a funeral in the back of a scenic (3 hour journey each way) and were amazed how spacious it was. The cupholders and storage spaces were also good... Like I said... we went for the meriva just on cost. It's leg room was fine too tho....

    evening all. had about 2+pages to catch up on from today. hope everyone is well.

    CMD - hope you are feeling better

    tirl - don't worry about your loan going up too much. unfortunatly you can't help the exchange rate. it is a bit pants though. my parents went to the beach yesterday as well and said it was fab. the weather was nice and everything

    saving - let us know about that poss job

    cafc - how would you feel about staying on a bit longer? it may be worth it for a bit of extra money but don't feel obliged to do it. how is your boss being with you since you handed your notice in??

    just off for my interview. still not sure what to do about my , other job....

    I dont want to feel obligated but part of me does... but thats just my personality i think....
    And I dont want to stay there much longer doing this job, if I was just training it might be different, but I just dont know....

  • Hope the interview goes well. In your current job... just do what feels right. Take all the shoulds out of the equation and ask yourself what you want to do....

    (PS I might have to take my own advice one day LOL)
