    Afternoon everyone
    glad it all went well Ames, just look after yourself when you're out and about.
    I'm in a more positive frame of mind than yesterday, I got the xmas temp job I was hoping for so now I can leave the one thats making me ill :) however I need to return to my money saving ways as it is a HUGE drop in earnings and things are going to be very tight here.

    Hope everyone else is well
    lots of love
    xxxxx

    as the title says, theres an inch of ice under all that snow out there.

    shocking cheek of people who watched me push a car to safety to then ask me to help them.. idiots.

    :D

    My neighbour came home the other day, stood in his porch and then watched me digging myself into my drive (so I wasn't blocking anyone else in) and then went in his house.

    Hope he doesn't need any help this winter t*w*a*t

    I lost control of my car on the ice this morning and bounced around a lane, crossed a ditch (well the front half of my car did) and stuck my nose in a farmer's fence.

    So I lose my job in a few weeks and now have smashed up my car.

    Thanks girls.

    I really want to stay debt free so need to work out how to juggle sorting the car out and covering the mortgage whilst I look for work.

    I hurt my arm bouncing around against the edge of the car seat so my shoulder etc hurts but I went to see the GP

    My boss is lovely. He said I should not worry if I can't drive in tomorrow.

    Hi Lou,

    No formal dates will be given out until we come back from Christmas as there are so many of us that the consultation needs to last until then. However, as I can count I know that means getting paid for January but expect to then be out of a job.
