    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
    :) Mortgage Balance = £0 :)

    Hello :j

    I am still here, jobless but still here.. Long story short, the job did not work out, lots of dodgy dealings and illegal activities, which I could not associate my name with.. Had to involve the authorities.. Felt like hell..

    Well, this now behind me.. I have been unemployed for almost a month and I'd much rather be working.. I am finding it really difficult to gain employment again.. I have had two interviews last week, both went well, I have a second round interview for one of them tonight via web ex with the directors in the US..

    However, on much more positive news, I have something up my sleeve.. However, this will take a few weeks to come to life.. I am working hard on that project..

    I am trying to keep my spending to the lowest level possible.. Not easy when I have to shell out for car insurance, mot, service, cam belt and minor repairs in the same month.. This is likely to wipe out the remaining of my money from my last job, I will then have to start digging into my savings..

    By the way, I have not ran away with Natty.. She did not fall for my charms.. :o

    Hope you are all well..

    :eek:

    That sounds horrendous Froggy, I bet you're glad that you're out of there!

    I look forward to hearing about your new project, but don't starve yourself in the interim ;)
  • Sounds awful Froggy and I'm really sorry to hear the news.

    Hopefully either the 2nd interview or project will come good and a new chapter will start.

    Best wishes Tilly
