    Try not to let the thought of job hunting get you down after feeling so positive yesterday.

    Try to focus on the good side..you have a job! Your company are not trying to oust you so it is up to you not to put pressure on yourself. Take your time so that you leave to go to the right job that suits you.

    Thanks Hun :A
    Yes, I will only leave for the right job. I know it's the right thing to do, but still feel sad, as I am very happy there. I know I am VERY fortunate to have a good job. Sorry that there is uncertainty over yours, when will you find out?

    In the end though, when you make an effort to change one thing, it can have a massive positive effect on the rest of your life - so THAT's what I'm am focusing on.
    Just joined an industry networking site, so that's the first step :)

    Hope the babies are ok x

    Hello mate! :hello:

    Yes, I've hung up my PAD boots for now. I don't have the funds to do it every day and after the whole "carseat" drama I decided to give it a break, but I'm sure I'll be back ;)

    Hope all's well with you and thanks for popping in :)

    Please do Euro, you'll be most welcome :)

    Right quick update while I have my coffee break:
    • Joined Industry Networking site
    • Whizzed around the house, making beds, cleaned kitchen and bathroom and made house respectable in case of unexpected visitors!
    • Completed Mortgage Application and enclosed cheque for £199 - grrrr!
    • Wrote cheque for Ground Rent - £1.63 (all Victorian properties in this area are Freehold)
    • Checked Premium Bonds - no wins :(
    • Contacted former colleague - alerting to job hunting status!
    • Cleared out handbag after I found a mouldy satsuma stuck to my cheque book - Ewwwww!
    • Wrote cheque for £77.50 :eek: for my new passport
    • Received email from an Ebay customer who has not received the item I sent a month ago. Luckily I have proof of postage :A

    So now, I'm going to trot round to the PO, post the goodies and try to get a refund on the lost item.

    Then I'm going to buy new bathroom scales - Day 1 of Back on the Diet Bandwagon, then do the Davina DVD before lunch (Weightwatchers soup - YUM (not)

    You've just reminded me i put a banana skin in a plastic bag in my changing bag yesterday!!!

    Well Mrs, you're sounding very positive and industrious again. That's great to hear. You have inspired me to do some sorting whilst my little chunky chops is asleep. I'm just eating lunch while i watch this morning 1st!!

    I'm going to be strong now and - log - off - from - here.......honest :o

    spent £4.50 on passport photos,
    £4.95 on sending off the aplication Special Delivery
    and a can't remember how much on a book of stamps :o

    I've also just completed the Davina Power of 3 DVD and I feel Grrrrrreat! :j

    Off for a shower, a low cal healthy lunch, then a trip to Nutracheck to input it all :A:A:A
