Angela, ill forgive you

Good luck with your EX! Not many people could trust each other to have a shared account

Ooooo good news The company I went to yesterday said they was considering all interviews today and will contact today for second interviews. Got phone call at 10 past nine :O and second interview tomorrow..

The dress code is something im COMPLETELY unused to. Its formal wear but they don't give a clothing allowance. Black trousers, skirts below knee and shirt with collar unless I wear a jacket and keep it on constantly and can wear any top :O :O So I am going to have to go shopping today to buy a shirt itll be about £20 but i've got an item to return and mums buying my ASDA interview shoes from me for her work for £8 so it should be hopefully a free shirt YAAAY

:mad: Just lost my longish post so will do a condensed version.

1. Welcome babie gurl, good luck on cutting down your shopping and well done for enjoying saving money.

2. NGlady - hope you enjoy your shopping :) at least you have a good reason this time.

3. Had a memorable encounter today with a young man (who asked for directions) he asked my name then said I was a beautiful woman :rotfl: there was more to it but I can't be bothered to re-write it all.

4. Souk - I'll update another time about me as I doubt you'll find anything in the thread as it's one of those that runs for a while (with lots of different posters) then it get's locked and a new one starts, so my story is probably about 4 threads previous and I've no idea what it was called then.

I'm interested in hearing more about this encounter, Anglea...

Today was a MSD - £1.19 spent on food & that was it. Then I found 20p in the parking meter - must've been my lucky day... But yeah, I seriously need to start cutting out those little junk food spends as they really do add up!

Yesterday I paid my fees (£32) which are really a necessity, and that was all. So I'm classing yesterday as a NSD.

Hi everyone,

NGlady -Have you done a diary on here yet??

Welcome Babie gurl what you have said is so true I was thinking earlier how I always thinks about how much I've got to spend and what to spend it on and not how much I've got to save/pay off debts.. I'm going to try and start thinking of it that way.
Well today was over £70 at Asda for nappies, baby wipes and some clothes this will be paid for by my baby's money the goverment kindly give us £20 a week so we will use this months money

I've just done a tesco online order first time and think this could be the way to go as I don't think I have spent as much as I would usually!!!!

Oh got another rule for May for me which is £20 on bits and bobs I want for the month... Think I'm going to give myself a food budget to!!! Not sure how much though yet.

Anglea

hi girls,

Tlb-£20 for you for the month good luck! I wonder what you normally spend on yourself - have you ever tried adding it up?

Completelylost - you've done well today. My encounter - the bloke was asking the directions for the dentist as it's moved premises, so I was rather taken aback by his comments to me especially as he was so much younger lol.I'll be really embarassed if I ever see him again. Mind you, it has completely occupied my mind all day so that's a good thing as I'm not worrying about the finances conversation plus a bottle of cider in front of the tv tonight was a good idea too (or not, I'll see how I feel in the morning, might need to use the sunglasses smilie if I feel bad!)

NGlady

Im saving up for some better less dizzy fingers, I tapped enter too soon

NGlady

Good morning all

Feeling all happy and positive in Nottinghamshie today ahead of my big day Feels quite strange the thought that although Monday WAS important it WAS NOT as important as today, today is the make or break and it could change my existance :S I know thats a little OTT but it could !!

Angela,

I keep writing my daily extracts on this forum on here, I keep considerign making a dairy then I think as if anybody wants to read on a daily basis my followings my rants etc. I may have to do this if I get my job as it will be a true transformation period over the next week Anybody who happens to be driving in the Midlands, I shall be offering an automated message service which warns you if im close by on the roads

Welllll id best go get ready I have a gorgeous pink new shirt and colour co-ordinating flower bobble and co-ordinating nails. It isn't a fashion thing, but in the interview, i got asked what reminded me to people, I told them all about my most unusual hobby "Swishing" the female interviwer was interested, but the MALE interviewer he was fasinated!!

Hi girls,

No hangover

NGlady - I can't be the only one that is going to ask - 'what is swishing'?

My guesses - this thing on MSE where you use different credit cards OR belly dancing using tassels on your whatsits , or some kind of unusual cleaning technique.

Morocha - you've had a very good week it appears
