    Thanks for all your kind messages.

    Have just made the longest list ever of things I want to achieve this week so I'll be going for it. Ultimately I am not at work so there WILL be time for a good bit of festering and movie watching etc but I can also crack on with loads of bits that I wouln't normally have time to do. I am also hoping to meet up with a few friends for coffee etc in between getting on with stuff. Hoping not to get too bored by the weekend!

    Well I've had a very productive morning!

    I bought a lovely handbag to go with all my neutral stuff from Next with my voucher. http://www.next.co.uk/x48360s3#739721x48

    I went to all 3 department stores to talk jobs. I met a customer in one who told me of a few websites to look on but what I really wanted was a face to face contact. I just feel it's much better and quicker that way. So...when I went to department store 2 I met someone I used to work with who told me A.Where the job board was, and there was a potential job on there and B. She is keen for me to hand my CV to a big manager and get her to see me this afternoon! :j:j:jSo I'm home now for lunch and then heading to the department store at 2. She may not be around as it's a speculative thing but I'm hoping she will be! I'm going to print off some CV's for the other job on the way and then I'll head to the final department store to see if my friend is in so that I can ask her about recruitment in her place. Whew! Even if nothing comes of this then I feel I'm trying and it's good to tell the job centre. :D I'm going there later.

    I also plan to do Boots later with my voucher and have plans to meet an MSE friend and also a rep friend later in the week.

    Off to get organised!!!

    Well I didn't get to see the other lady today but I did leave her my number. I also went to the other department and have an interview for next week :j:j:j The other job may still come off but this is here and would be good too.

    I signed on today and my cash is due soon.

    Went for a look round Boots and need to audit what I already have before I buy more.

    In money news, all my ebay items sold for their Buy It Now price last night so that's £35 winging its way to me!
