    Tesco's automated recycling machine was actually working when I visited. However, it did not like my ready-squashed cans so I had to pull the straight.

    Table is back in use. 'Proper job' as Tricket used to say.

    Thanks to last weeks 4 hours o/t I am now back to a full average weekly pay, so all the o/t I now work can go toward my debts.

    Jobs for week -

    Pay Court fee to progress claim to hearing.

    Had a laugh today. My son works as a car cleaner & whilst at work the guy who sold me the pile-of !!!! Zafira turned-up with a car he wanted the yard to sell on his behalf. They took one look and told him to go take a hike.

    2nd laugh - wife couldn't get her Robbie Williams CD to play, so asked my to take a look. She was only trying to play a DVD in a CD player.

    Had a good weekend. Turned 45 on Saturday. Motor engineer has done his independent inspection of the Zafira so that is well under way.
    Saturday night I strolled to a local pub that sells Adnams on tap to meet with a few friends for a birthday drink.

    Today, I fired-up my computer to find an email about a job, so need to follow that up tomorrow.

    Job turned-out to be for a CNC wood machinist. I would have like to have had a go at it, but they were looking for someone with experience.
    Current job is getting easier. We now have a 3rd team member who is on secondment. She is at the point that I know she will cope covering me whilst I am on holiday for the next 2 weeks.

    Saturday went well. Spent the afternoon on a photo-trail around N. Essex & S. Suffolk. It is really nice to stroll around places like Mistley & Hadliegh without worrying about anything.
    Might post some of the photos up Later.

    Got a sniff of another job, but turned-out to be at Acoustica. This is a company that I have had a job with before & it didn't end well (I caught them out when they told me the wages were only £6.38 p/hr when I had proof they were advertising at £7.50-£9.50 p/hr), so not interested in going back there anytime soon.

    Am now on holiday.
    Have also booked my CSCS card test, so something else to add to my armoury when it comes to job hunting.
