    I have got an interview for promotion to manager in another store, so hope to have a good one, not sure I want it as quite secure in my current job, is it worth the extra hassle for another £30 per week and a title?

    Anyway best get ready.

    To not fire anyone of my deeply annoying staff for being the primary cause of my increased blood pressure... Pity I have to give genuine reasons for firing people really ;)

    Oh and post 5 items sold on ebay :)

    Tine can I borrow that? I feel the same most days although they have to really push it to make me feel its worth firing them, after 1 girl vanished for 3 weeks I decided to fire her but it was a close call.

    well i have a busy day off again, i'm having breakfast then going into town. got to post rbs application form, letters asking skycard to refund my late payment charge (actually used the term goodwill gesture!), electric to give me a discount for paying my balance in full and first letter to bos asking for statements.
    then i'm going to the cinema to see just my luck. then i shall head over to the gym and hurt myself lots, maybe grab a swim after to chill out, then home for half three for a visitor.
    then i'm getting picked up at five to go off for a chinese with another friend (who's pregnant and got new scan photos to show off :j )

    then i think i'll head to bed and die before another week at work :(

    I'm just about to post my fourth sold book on greenmetropolis (yippee!) then I have a wedding stationery order to make (unfortunately I've already been paid)
    I'm going to do some yoga tonight in the spare bedroom coz I'm feeling stressed again about my debts, then maybe look at what I can sell on e-bay once I work out how to do it with my o/h help.

    I have 18 of them... a lot of them are good as gold... the rest need to learn that if you don't carry out the job you're paid to do then your boss won't fight to get you a payrise... DOH! And you're suddenly last in line for any perks or promotions. Odd that!

    Seriously though they drive me up the wall sometimes! I will NOT lose my temper with them today, I will NOT! ARGH!!!!!:mad:

    I have 16 x £1 token payment cheques to write.

    Chase the CTC people for my new award - I amended the yearly income last week, but have had nothing from them yet. Need it ASAP for bankruptcy forms and I don't want to hazard a guess at how much it will go down by.

    Erm, and do some washing.

    And I have one cornetto left in the freexer (local shop had them on offer - box of 6 for £1!) so I am going to have that this afternoon when DD3 is at Nursery, DD4 is having a nap and I have 25mins on my own!

    My aim for today was to get that essay done which I have been struggling over. The question seemed quite simple but it turns out it wasnt. I'm half way through it now and just having a bit of a break.
