    The £20 for my old mobile has arrived and been moved to the LLP Fund..

    I have been applying for lots of new jobs but nothing positive as yet.. a bit demoralising but I have got to keep going..

    That's because none of them have been the right job yet Froggy :D
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Remember you are a survivor, Froggy. Last week my DS1 was talking about his friend (from one of the Oxbridge colleges) having 65 reject letters :eek: before he found a good and appropriate job :) Fingers crossed for you fingerscrossed.png

    There is definitely a job with your name on it :)

    You and Mr T will be fine - it just takes time and you need to keep the momentum up.

    Hello

    Can't wait for the end of this week..

    I have treated myself to a yummy M&S tea for tonight.. I'll be busy packing for my holiday north of the border.. I am flying tomorrow night after work.. Hope I can get out of work at a reasonable time so I can avaoid the traffic getting to the airport..

    I also need to seriously get my backside into gear, in order to properly tidy and clean my flat as the estate agent is having an open day next Saturday.. 2 months to go to find a new job.. I am hoping something will come up sooner rather than later..

    Oh Froggy I see a lot has happened to you in the time I've been away :(. Green chin up and show 'em that ol' Gaelic spirit!

    I'll do a proper catch up tonight when I have more time to really read through the last years postings.
