Hi all
I need to have a vent, I hope its ok here?
I'm waiting to hear about a job, I was approached about it, and it sounds amazing, but I still haven't heard any more details or answers to my questions sent in Dec. In the meantime I'm starting to really hate my job, and feel like my work is slowly being moved to other people. I'm sure I'm being paranoid, and over sensitive, but its making me really crabby. Sorry guys for the whinge!
Anyway
I was running late today so didn't walk but bussed instead
will walk home
have bought lunch and snacks with me
Will hopefully be a LSD as not going out at lunch, just paid for bus
got a crystal session this evening, but this is free, and the calming will be nice
try and do some dooyoo stuff
try and cheer up!Clicking, searching and surveying my way to a life of debt freedom!

Hello!
Have not had a good few days money wise so am here to confess and make amends....
- parcels have arrived from spontaneous internet purchase. Didn't NEED these things but did that stop me ....... doesn't everyone need an extra set of Christmas cookie cutters...err NO!
- been to Waitrose, not somewhere I usually visit due to overwhelming tempatations. (You will recognise I'm not in a good frame of mind for resisting at the moment!) There were so many reduced items I [STRIKE]had to[/STRIKE] couldn't stop myself buy things... I am awash with food now and my freezer os full. Such a silly numpty. But I do own a jar of sambal oelek!
- checked bank - clearly not quite as good as it should be. But enough to hang on till pay day on Friday and I certainly don't need to go food shopping again!
- Am off work at the mo and so heating is on most of the day - my house is freezing! Have jumpers on too but very draughty with lots of improvised draught excluders about the place.
- Hokey Cokey underway
- tea in slow cooker - am not convinced by my slow cooker but am giving it another chance!
- BIL arriving for impromptu stay - not easy, OH and BIl tend to fall out
- all football etc cancelled so less petrol used
- Not feeling sparkly but will attempt to be so.
- Hugs to all those who are poorly, fed up, need a job, are just feeling low
xGetting there...slowly!
GC : must do better
NSD: very rare
No matter how slow I go I am lapping everyone on the couch.0 - parcels have arrived from spontaneous internet purchase. Didn't NEED these things but did that stop me ....... doesn't everyone need an extra set of Christmas cookie cutters...err NO!
