    Anyway I'll stop being nosy :o and wish you all Good Morning :wave:

    Today I'm leaving for Africa and probably won't post again until Monday - have a great weekend everbody :A

    I was thinking the same...poor Wannabe if they're new reports each day! I need some motivation from you - you seem to get lots done:T

    Hello again Candy - nice to 'see' you back here again - hope all well with you:)


    Hi Milly - I have really missed posting on MSE, previous work has meant that I was leaving the house early and getting home late and the temp job I had was awful, the people were really mean :mad: they expected me to work for nothing :mad: :mad:

    Thankfully I left there and got a permanent job with a really good company. And I got a pay rise in the process. Admittedly, some of the extra goes on travel, but I am much happier with work.

    Now I need to focus on getting rid of the debts. I have now taken to writing my balance in my diary each month so I can see the balance going down. Thankfully on the 25th my debts will be £9,698 which is a massive improvement from the original balance of £22k :eek:

    Anyhow, enough of me rambling, best get on with some work otherwise they will sack me

    Take care
    Candy xxx

    Hi both, I'm fine thank you.

    Have a bad knee (probably through kickboxing), and so had to have x-rays, orthotic appointments yesterday etc. Plus, the hospital is miles away so it was nearly two hours there and two hours back on a bus!

    (On the upside, it was a free bus! :j)

    Plus, a nurse kept calling me Lucy - which clearly isn't my name - and was getting irritated with me when I didn't respond, because I didn't realise she was talking to me!

    Another guy wanted to measure my feet, so I was expecting either some kind of clever electronic scanning device, or something akin to the Clarks feet measurer that they measure kids' feet with.

    But no - he put a clipboard on the floor and drew around my feet.

    I had to stop myself from laughing.

    Have a safe trip to Africa, OliveOyl. :)
