    :rotfl: I know what you mean: I've had to watch my words myself a few times! :rotfl:

    Even if they offered me the PT I think I would accept until I found something better FT as I would still be coming out with the same/more than I've got at the minute for less work. But it's FT I need, really. And to apply for some more jobs. ;)

    Have had a most wonderful day today, including free tickets to go to the ballet, but have so much to do that I can't stop to chat. Consider this a prime example of posting and running, and I will be back to tell all when I can. :)

    Am back again, only to say that I'm uber-busy and have loads to sort out. Had great day Thursday, not happy with work and am about to do a pile of stuff which needs to be done for my nail course (practical and theory), so speak soon. xxx

    P.S. Get paid this Thursday. Yay!

    Hey guys!

    Right, time for an update.

    I get paid tomorrow (yay!), which means that I will have sufficient funds to pay off my HSBC OD, the bit that came out of my A&L OD while I was uncertain whether or not the former bank would recall my OD, and pay all my bills and leave me a little bit in credit. So far, so good.

    The only bad thing about that is the fact that in order to do that I spent the past month buying every single thing I needed on my CC, so great was my fear of being caught short in both directions. The total on my CC will therefore be £1917.86 (:eek:), but with some of that being purchases I have made for other people for various reasons, with the money being paid back to me when I see them.

    This still feels completely the wrong way round and flies in the face of all reason given the fact that the OD is interest free, but at least they can't call the CC back on me, and somehow I feel as though only having one debt to bust will focus me more firmly on it. I have felt adrift for a few months now.

    I still also have to factor in car insurace, MOT etc. due at the end of June, and consider Canada in August as well. I don't feel as though I will ever have the money for all that if I don't get another job. (I imagine that I will hear back from the library job this week, if I'm ever going to). Still, it's a start. Also, I won't have so many nail-related expenses after this week (for another month, at least), which will make life a bit easier. :)

    Right, got schizzle to dizzle so need to go and dizzle it. Smell you all later! ;)

    Have been paid and have transferred the money over to my OD: am just waiting for it to be processed. :T Have spent all morning giving my aunt a set of fibreglass nails and am just about to get ready to go to work. Should be doing little bro's GF's nails tonight, but by the time I get home from work and get them done it will be too late - will see if I can get her to be my [STRIKE]victim[/STRIKE] model on Saturday as the one who was supposed to do it has dropped out (:mad:). Could have used someone else who I did last night as well, so that's made me mightily miffed.

    Have just eaten naughty fish, chips and gravy for lunch so I now feel stuffed and a little bit sick. Have to take the dog for her daily constitutional before getting ready for work, so ciao for now.
