    Thanks all. Feeling much more positive today. Applied for lots of stuff last night and know it will come good, I just hope it's soon!

  • I'm thinking of you lots and sending lots of love and support - I'm not in exactly the same situation but the thought of kissing goodbye to a steady income in favour of a less secure one terrifies me :eek: when it's just me paying the bills, so I really feel for you in the current situation.

    I'm aboslutely sure it will all come good in time, but can appreciate how worrying it is in the mean time.

    Fingers (and my beautiful Elle Red painted toes :D) crossed for you :T

    Hi lovelies,

    Well should get the job call tomorrow so we'll see!

    Chilling tonight with the Great British Bake off and a Glamour mag. I buy them for work, pinch it one night and take it back in the morning so it's never missed! How :money:am I? There's a great article on enjoying being single by Arianne Cohen, author of the S** Diaries. I have just ordered this book on Amaz*n with mysurvey vouchers as I am a nosy cow!

    Payday is Friday and I cant wait as I have:
    £4.79 in the bank :rotfl:
    £17 in my purse (and that's only because I borrowed £200 from the buffer :eek:)

    In my defence I have been in horrid all over the shop limbo all month and have bought LOADS of lovely clothes for Winter. I've eaten and drank a bit too much but have started back at the gym on Thursday.

    I have tried to budget for next month but as I neither know exactly how much I'll get (as I'm getting holiday pay and an extra weeks money) or what I'll need it for then I came a bit unstuck! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Time for Gok on the plus One channel X
