Hi ladies
I am far too afraid to have a look at my totals but i will so i can freak myself out.
I have managed to increase all my totals by going crazy on entertainment and pressies.
Ah well suffer continue.
Well done on paying that lot off anyway.

Happy New Year to everyone...
Payments made today:
B'Card = £70
C One = £30

Off to bed.
See you all next year.

Well it's day 2 of 2012 and I have managed one NS Day. Whoo hoo. Off to meet a friend for coffee so I will have to spend a few ££ but I don't mind as she's a great friend and I am allowed the occasional treat.
Need to get back into the ebay thing again as I have a few 'items' lying around annoying me and I'd love to see the back of them via the Royal Mail.
Also have to chase up the job application I made before Christmas.
Away to meet my chum.
Lots of Love.

hope you had a lovely time with your chum, too right you're entitled to a treat. Fingers crossed for the job application.0

Well,
Met my wee chum and turns out she's in as much debt as I am, except she actually doesn't know HOW much debt she is in. So I felt better than her in that I have tackled my debt head on. We are both aiming to be debt free by Dec 2012. So here goes, one mad roller coaster of a 12 mth ride! Whoo hoo.
Off to tart up my spreadsheet.
Night gorgeous MSE's.

Chased up the recruitment company today...OMG they are a nightmare, nothing moves at any speed at all. So fingers toes etc all crossed that i get an interview and then wow them with my wisdom and fabulousness and bag a job and then can realistically set aside Dec 2012 as DFD.
Started my spending diary again and also updated my payments spreadsheets, wish i could muster as much enthusiasm for my Accounts. But sure you can't win them all!!
Off to do boring things and I am so tired tonight, goodness it's shocking.
Right off to be boring elsewhere.
Night

Flat to the mat working, so have to be quick, plus I am shattered tonight and I honestly am struggling to keep my eyes open.
Tortured the recruitment company today about the job I have applied for, honestly they are like doctors receptionists and airport security staff...a blooming jobs worth!! ( apologies to anyone I might have offended from those comments)
Also, opened a savings account for wait for it.....NEXT CHRISTMAS!!! Get me...how MSE am I??
Right,
Love you all.

So for those of you who check in regularily you will know that I applied for a job over Christmas, a job that I could do with my eyes closed and a job that had my name written all over it....that is until the recruitment company eventually told me that the job I had applied for is not actually the one they advertised. Some plank placed a very incorrect job description on the internet against the job. So I have sat in tears for over an hour, infact nearly 2 as there is just no rhyme nor reason as to why everything is just falling apart at the seams.
It's so unfair, what I have I done so wrong that I make all these mistakes? Is there some bigger prize lying in waiting for me and I have to work mega, mega hard, jump through so many, many hoops to get anywhere?
I went to work today for the grand sum of £9.50...If I was offered a job at that rate I'd laugh and tell them where to go...yet there are others who are lifting £100's. One friend and colleague spent a half hour telling me about the money she spent on shoes and coats in the Christmas sales...all I was thinking as A) how nice to have money andIf I get this job I can pay for my car to be serviced and also buy a new bra.
So I have to now go and re do my CV as a girl at another recruitment company picked holes in mine and well I was feeling that low you can't feel any lower when someone trashes what you've spent hours on can you? I know she was helping and her advice was really good but you just become immune to all these 'helpful' people being very super efficient about how they direct advice. I suppose they do it every day and therefore don't realise how rude they can be about the manner in which they provide direction.
You can tell I'm really low at the minute can't you? Pure frustration and Mother Nature due is contributing to all of this I think or maybe I am just fed up? I so need a glass ball right now and someone somewhere to tell me this is all going to be OK. ( I'm still crying)
So I'll go and do the Euro Millions and hope that I win about £16k and that will make me feel way better...
Sorry to moan so much at the minute but I am fed up with everything and as I've kicked MrMarriedMan into touch I need to write all this down otherwise I will find the desire to be in contact with him again.
It's a times like this that I would love a really nice man to just give me the biggest hug in the world and tell me it's all going to be OK....like everything else it would appear that I have to wait my turn at that too.

Hi
EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE OK x
Perhaps you are a little more sensitive than usual after MMM and Mum Nature, so cry if it gets all the negativity out of your system and then, when you've finished your tears, pick yourself up and get going for the great future thatis ahead of you.
I'll happily take a look at your CV if you'd like some support.
Take care xxxx
