Sorry about the job FF. Hopefully something better will come along sharpish.
On a different note, im now collecting the butter cow codes myself, as my nieces have spotted the baking kit and want it for themselves. So if anyone has any spare codes, i'd be eternally grateful!0 -

Thanks for all your wishes guys, it just isn't the right one for me. I heard that over 30 people applied for the one job so I'm grateful I got an interview and will get feedback from them next week.
The travelling would have meant a lot of expense, so it may well be for the best (Bah!)
What's for you won't go by you and all that

Morning all!
I have a busy day planned here in Fresian Towers....
1. Go to Costco
2. Go to Morrisons
I need to buy cat litter and cat food (Bah...) which will put me about £25 down before I even think about food for myself and Mr Fresian
I also need to do more blooming washing and clean up the kitchen before I go out. I need to be out and about to meet my friend at 12. I should maybe think about getting dressed...
Money situation is currently thus:
PAD = £20
Groceries = £110.64
Entertainment = £2.43
Payday is in three days (woo!) but the Groceries and Entertainment budgets are to run until the end of the month (Humbug) I did some overtime last weekend and this is in my wages for next week, so that will be a PAD for me.
The new carpet is getting delivered on Monday for the spare room and the new bed arrives on Friday, all is pretty much ready for our new lodger.
I have been spurred on by the daily updates on Floozies thread and have started doing Toluna again. I don't tend to do the surveys I get emailed but have been doing the daily polls. I'm now up to 32870 points, but don't know how many I need for vouchers. Is it still 60000?
In other news, I went to see my first ever Bollywood movie last night - My Name Is Khan. It's about a Muslim man with Asbergers who moves to the US and falls in love with a Hindu woman and how they are affected by the aftershocks following 9/11. I loved it! It was odd for me in some ways - there was a mix of English and Hindi which was hard to get used to at first and it's the longest film I've seen in ages. I've not seen a movie with an intermission since Lord of the RingsThat being said, it was lovely and made me cry a little. I would recommend it!
Right, I really need to get myself ready to go out. Have a lovely Saturday all!
