Dis spend part of the day talking to a recruitment agency. Looks like another bank may be interested! Im not desperate to move but always worth a look. Told OH and he just said Im never satisfied.....Men eh!

    popping in to say hi! Sorry people have been nasty about appearance - you dont need that and tbh what is the point of saying something anyway? Plain nasty me thinks - esp if people know youre trying to juggle so much! Initially I would be really hurt but then think who cares? If people are that shallow then stuff em! Having said that you can get lovely stuff online at "yours" - usually have sales and ridiculous prices so worth a look! Hang in there me lovely!

  • Thanks I think my friend was trying to help in that I would be held back at work due to my appearance. It did hurt at the time but I cant go back in time just pay more attention. Ill never be the most preened!

    I think its yours I have signed up for but never had the chance to have a proper look. Too scared at spending money. Bank balance is very poor this month and its 22 days to pay day :eek:

    Hiya KP, just been catching up with what's been going on with you.

    Why doesn't he want to get married?

    :eek: at comments on appearance but sounds like it was done in a nice way. I always used to look dishevelled at work, surprised no one ever commented lol!

  • He says he is not the type!! Well he wasnt the type to be in a long term relationship with three kids but he did that? Not going to push him Im happier now so not going to stress over it. His loss... My Mum thinks Im mad to even want to marry him.

    When the kids were young I had an excuse to look tired and dishevelled I think its mandatory for those with kids under 8! but now they are older and I dont even have to do anything in the mornings for them I shouldn't have that problem. If I want to work at the level I do then appearance is important.

    Going to get a bonus on payday :j :j so that will cover the catalogue bill and part of the holiday.

    This weekend I need to prepare for Monday and help a friend prep for her interiew which is also on Monday. Interviews are all Compentancy based now so I think I freaked her a little when I listed the stuff you need to do and say. Its no good saying you can do something or have done something you have to give actual examples.
