Morning!
Friday at last :j
Weather is dreadful out there..:o However it's payday.. time to top up the pot.. So it's £150 making its way there.. A bit less than usual, as I have to cover car insurance, MOT, service and cambelt change before the summer..
Work wise, still the same.. One of the jobs I applied for went down the drain.. The employer decided that they did not know if they wanted someone or not..:mad: In the meantime, another opportunity popped up yesterday, so I have applied for it.. The long patience game continues..
Have a great weekend :T

I feel your pain - I have bodywork and MOT coming up (and Tax) and then this is my cambelt service this year. Having never had a car past it's 4 year anniversary this is all a new adventure for me!- Mortgage @ March 2008: £194,965 ; Lightbulb Moment: July 2011: £164,926; End Date: March 2033

If nothing else Froggy, you seem to find plenty of suitable jobs to apply for
Your applications are spaced out by weeks, it's more like months here! I'm probably being rude by not remembering this, but what field do you work in?0 -

It's accountancy / finance.. Isn't it the same as you or am I mistaken?Froggy's New Lillypad FundTotal so far: £ 10,009.770 -
Hello Froggy
Have really enjoyed your diary and wish you all the luck. Have you tried the Icm for recruitment ? I'm not sure if this is near your specific area of expertise but it may be worth a go.

Oh Lordy don't say that - declared war on a snotty one this week - up you sound far too pragmatic, and socially adept to be one!!!
Now that's not fair - I do know a couple who ARE normal!- Mortgage @ March 2008: £194,965 ; Lightbulb Moment: July 2011: £164,926; End Date: March 2033

Morning all
Happy Friday!
£211.05 added to the pot today..and the weekend is here.. The sun is shining!!
I am off on a road trip up North for the weekend to catch up with friends.. A long drive, but I don’t mind.. It will be good fun..
Still no news about my contract extension.. I currently have 3 job applications going through for external positions.. One of them seems unlikely but you never know.. I am hoping to have some good news (picked for interview?) before I set off for the weekend..
Hope you all have a great weekend!
