How frustrating with the insulation guys :mad: Why do they do that!?!
Well done on getting your list done, i've been rubbish of late and need to kick myself up backside but far too tired to think about it right now

Morning all!
Where is summer? Anyone seen it? As its about 6 degrees here this morning and im not chuffed i mean its stopping me getting dressed lol I HEART JIM JAMS!
So im watching the news and the whole brown out cameron and clegg in... as much as i voted tories i didnt vote for a shared party and can see problems ahead, Ah well time will tell just someone bring petrol prices down quick. Although i did see Tesco are giving 5p a litre off when you spend over £50 which i can see attracting some people.
Just done my pads, im still hacking down the cap 1 but wish they could get back in touch regarding charges as it was £84 and my balance is only £140 and i would love to clear it all up whilst using some of their money back but heard nothing from them yet
Halifax as i mentioned before have gotten back in touch regarding charges but from reading through the related threads they dont seem too eager to pay money back to people
I received a leaflet from Halifax yesterday regarding my overdraft thats only £300 but im £520 over it, again it is something i could clear now but its their charges that have put me there and the months and months of worry im not rushing to give them my money, there are some dmp numbers i have to ring and then set up a payment plan with them so need to get on with that.
bf popped in after finishing work early yesterday which was a nice treat and cut all my gardens so now im resembling a pretty bungalow rather than something out of the wild :rotfl:
i did manage to do all my ironing which was good to get it out the way
DD has got her dance school tonight and then being picked up by her dad for a bday meal with him and then staying there the night, so ive told bf we will go out this evening for a bit of us time, lets hope he is not too tired later
Today im doing my work till 11am and i could do some jobs around the house/garden but im a little tempted to maybe have a couple of hours shopping for holiday this afternoon,,,, is that naughty?
love to all xx
Psssst forgot to add
the job offer that i received the other day called me last night asking about my forms which i had emailed but they hadnt received, anyway after doing some long hard thinking i think i need to email them today and say a change has happened in my circumstances and state the hours i CAN do without any problems and then they can decide if i am suitable for the job, it was all so rushed and hazy in the interview so i said yes but i know i couldnt do some of what they are asking.... do you think this is wise? xxDebt as of 20/4 £6921.20 :eek:

Quick update,
i have decided to do the email and stated i am available
Monday-Thursday 7.30am to 5.30pm; 8pm-7am (nights) or a mixture of these
Friday 7.30am-5.30pm or 7pm through till sunday afternoon about 6pm (available over weekends)
Basically a nights position is better for me but i understand that the range of times you need people is very varied i am also available most weekends to do whatever shift is necessary
I dont feel i am making myself hardly available but i do know from the interview they would have probably wanted me to be there from 7.30am-10pm at night and i just cant do thatDebt as of 20/4 £6921.20 :eek:

Here ive been rich for 3 days and not been shopping once... although today the sun is shining so i may just pop in for a few bits, not decided yet
Re the job i sent them that email that i showed you details of, and she got back to me within the hour saying she had spoken to the ops manager and could offer me a bank position basically calling me up as and when they need someone, this is even m ore unsuitable as i cant arrange childcare at the drop of a hat, ah well, but she did say should my circumstances chance to get back in touch and they would hold it open for me:T
Had a gorgeous meal last night, where i live is like a tiny lil hamlet with no more than say 100 houses spread over so its fields everywhere, heaven to me hell to some., BUT within about 5 mins walk is a pub that has its own brewery and restaurant and got a rating last year of top 9 in the country!!! It is amazing and i mean amazing, its not too pricy and usually has about a 3 week wait but we managed to get in last night due to a cancellation, it was heaven and i had a pudding too:D.... i was full but just HAD to have a pudding lol
doing my voluntary work this morning till 11, then i ought to get dressed i suppose lol if not ill sit here read through some threads and it will be 2pm and ill panic lol sun is shining but not sure whether thats decieving me and its actually bloody cold out there lol
anyway ill sod off as i know your eyes are hurting and i must top up the gin for when you pop in again xxxxx;)Debt as of 20/4 £6921.20 :eek:
