    I havn't watched either Psycho, so i am glad I am right :rotfl: I would love to take Mum to see Conny as Maria in December here but I fear all the good seats will be gone by thr time I can afford it :rotfl:

    I have just come down to earth with a bump and I don;t think logically I can take the job, without getting a night/evening job ontop. See this post for more deatils, back on the job searching wagon :T

    Just been out to work for a couple of hours, now back and in PJ's waiting for OH to bring wine and nibbles and then we're going to watch New Moon!! Such a huge fan of the books, just hope the movies are as good :j

  • Will you be losing the £100 even when you factor in reduced travel costs? Sorry if this is already answered, I have cotton wool for brains.

    New Moon is pretty good, but I read the books after I saw the films!! Just waiting to borrow the 4th one now

    Oh PAP, not sure I can give you any advice, but it is good that you are thinking it through sensibly.

    The only thing I thought of is whether you would be entitled to any benefit if you are only working 16 hours a week?

    Thanks Ten, I have to think logically otherwise I could get into big problems! Sadly I can't get any benefit. I could get tax crdit if I was over 25 but I can't because I am not and don't/won't pay tax :o

    I am sad but at least I know I can get these jobs, I am not dead wood yet :rotfl: Onwards and upwards I think :T

    That was the other thing I meant to say PAP - it is a boost that you got the job and helps with confidence when you go for other jobs - Good Luck
