    Ok, well today I have;

    Written a letter to council to offer a higher amount each month to clear our council tax arrears,
    Written a letter to my bank to ask if we can set up a payment plan to clear my overdraft.
    Also, saved a but of petrol by my son not going to school, no im not just being mean :p - hes not well.
    Also got a nice surprise when I checked my bank as British Gas have put £82 in!!! :beer: Thats nearly two months free electric for me!

    Would have liked to have walked to town as Co-op are doing 18 Charmin (sorry, "Cushelle") toilet rolls for a fiver, but the weather is naff up here.

    Afternoon all!
    Had a stressful day so far - been for yet another job interview at a fairly local school - no idea how it went but they dismissed 5 of the 10 candidates after the observed lesson we had to teach and I got to stay for the formal interview so who knows? There were 120 applicants and a short list of 10 then down to the final 5 - bonkers isn't it? And they're supposed to crying out for science teachers!

    Anyway, today is bursary pay day - at last!

    I have...
    • Walked dog twice so far for free exercise
    • Hoovered downstairs - trying to keep busy waiting for THE phone call
    • Checked banks
    • Will write lesson for yet another interview tomorrow - getting very used to this now
    • Have a proof read through the assignment I've written
    • All food from stores
    • Cleaned kitchen
    • Tidied bedroom
    • Stay in and watch telly and get ready for tomorrow
    That's it for today - have a good day everyone
