    Hi Cattie,

    Are you making the tea again today? I'll help with the washing up after:rolleyes:

    Sorry you had to walk to work in the rain - it's been a fantastic day down here - Sunny and Warm - although it is clouding over a bit now.

    Interview (Tuesday) didn't go brilliantly - the words 'bright young things' were mentioned, and I know I don't fit into that category:mad:

    Never mind - I am getting more positive vibes from 'The Italian Job' which would mean that I would be working as their UK Sales Manager, rather than buying and selling - means a regular salary though.
    I am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.
    If any of my experiences, or the knowledge that I have gained from those experiences, can help anyone who finds themselves in similar circumstances, then my experiences have not been in vain.

    Job interviews suck. I've had loads lately, and they've all fed back with, you've got a great personality but not enough experience. So I'm obviously not good-looking enough for these dynamic IT companies!! :rotfl:

    p.s. I've been doing what I do for 5 years!

    Was the weetabix cake good? I've never heard of it. Is it an OS recipe?


    Yes, I'm addicted to it! I brought a batch up to Lewis with me on Monday and my brother scoffed the lot so I made a fresh one today. It was just out of the oven when I offered TNG a bit :). Yummmmmmm

    http://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.html?t=215590&highlight=weetabix+cake

    that is where I got the recipe from, on the OS board :)

    I put cinnamon and half and half raisins and chocolate chips usually, last time I didnt have any chocolate chips so I put half raisins and half tinned pineapple. That was lovely. This one has raisins and choc chips in it
