    Thanks Cath :) although until I get a job the 11months is wishful thinking, but makes a change to look on the bright side for a change!! ;)

    Our food shop was £59 grrrr, but my husband did it on his day off yesterday which was wonderful. I seem to of got lots of vouchers lately and I managed minus the vouchers to get my sister and her boyfriend for £11 an 'apple tv" so at least I've got her a decent present for a change!

    My husband is doing some building today and so hopefully we can wrap it up for winter soon. I am going to tidy up today. I have had a few indulgences this week, which I think I will go into at another time, they are all house design based :)- my favourite subject.

    My cat also joined his 'bros' last night for the first time, he is weeing to the left but seeming well!!

    We have a long weekend next week and so our making plans- it is our 4th anniversary and 7 years today since we met :) We were originally going to go to an art exhibition (how civilised!) but we won't unless I have a job for sure! Thinking more about trying to take our daughter to her first cinema visit to see arthur christmas and getting some dinner out.

    Might go out this arvo, this will inevitably involve some spending, would like to take our daughter to a grotto but think might be easier to do it when were off in the week, maybe thursday/ friday.

    Have got little presents for the work girls, they're all jokey but 6 presents £25 bargain I reckon ;) I did some proper searching to get the best deals!

    Rightio!! gonna go and tidy up, have some stuff finishing on ebay later...fingers crossed!

    Last over payment this month on mortgage, £80 off, total £39500, am happy to be where I am. Gonna submit balance now :)

    Had interview, I hope they liked me! Its an amazing job and I think I would progress well,intact I think it is pretty perfect for me however, whether they think I'm suited isn't in my control...you can only be yourself, I hope it works out but as a natural pessimist i think I will start planning alternatives and hope I am tempting fate!

    Will update google now and will update credit card balance at some point.

    :) Well done, that's great news :)
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)
