    Hi Tiggy

    I have applied in Scotland, just a one yr PGDE. I think I might start bugging them after 2 weeks. I looked at the list of applicants and I think there were 7 or 8 but not everyone had confirmed. So it really shouldn't take that long. Its one of those things that I need to stop thinking about but can't help but to think of it. Have you any idea of what you would like to teach?

    I just want to be able to plan for next yr.

    xx

    No idea what i would like to teach to be honest i still have a teaching practice and next year to get through so I thnk i will have more of a feel for it then! :)

    keep us updated with the outcome of your interview!

    :)

    No you're not a vegetarian if you eat any animal or fish, so do not insult genuine veggies by calling yourself one! :mad:

    Wow!! Having read all the posts its made me realise that the only reason I am skint is because I don't watch my money!!! Now inspired to watch every penny so as of today I will keep an eye on my bank account, not go out for coffee when work has vending machines with a free supply, will start taking food into work as I often spend too much (breakfast and lunch = £5 per day!!). Hopefully if I stick it out I should actually be able to save for a holiday!!! Thanks all xx
    Thursday 31st March is the first day of my new financial life. I sat down yesterday and wrote down everything i owe (Excluding my mortgage). I then worked out my action plan to get two credit cards and a MASSIVE overdraft paid off. I realised that i will be debt free by December 2014!
    I know its still a while off but i can see it sitting on the horizon and i can't wait to get there. I love reading this site for advice and find all the people who contribute inspiring !!!!!!:money:

    Hello Hazydaze & twoboysmamma :wave: & welcome to ourt merry band of DFWannabeing! :D yup the moment you work it all out and start feels so much better & the scurge of all our lives is the little spending here & there so all the good ladies & Karb on this thread keep each other on the straight & narrow as far as we possibly can!

    La E sounds exactly like what is going on in my home currently - I prescribe a big glass of wine as I find the house instantly becomes cleaner after a glass :rotfl:

    Cat - oh no what happened? Remember what is meant for you won't go past you x

    Hello to all the lovely regs I hope you are all on top of the world :D
