    No word about interview yet, please all keep your fingers crossed. My car is going to the garage tomorrow, so please keep your fingers crossed for that as well! :o

    Did a couple of readings last week, got about £10. I think that I will just put that to my debt. Did some shopping today in Mr T (I normally shop in Sainsb), does anyone else find Mr T expensive? I shopped there basically so I didn't have to do more miles than necessary. I bought myself a cardigan and a t-shirt (it's supposed to be a pyjama top but its too nice for that), and bought OH a shirt.

    OH is snoring downstairs. So much for him looking forward to spending time with me again. He went back to work today, yet he's moaning already that its ok for me. Ok in what sense? I'm still out of work. I've been down twice and he said he was coming up then moaned when I wanted him to come upstairs as I do not want him waking me up in a few hours when he decides to come to bed!

    Only good point today is I'm getting my loft insulation and cavity wall insulation done for free.

    glad you're getting some benefit from being out of work, i'm still keeping my fingers crossed about the interview, now for the really annoying question, how do you think it went?

    Both my Mum, Gran and OH have asked that question LT. I think it went ok, they did show me round and the interview lasted about 90 minutes. I'm guessing no news is good news. They are apparently seeing 2 other people this week so I'll hear either end of this week or beginning of next. They asked when could I start if I got the job (immediately, as my volunteer work is day to day as they know I'm job hunting) and how would I get there (luckily enough I could drive although parking charges would be high, so better getting the train and parking car at train station. It would mean quite a walk at the other end but at least it would get me fit!).


    Today so far I've:-

    -I've applied for a few jobs this morning (up early as OH was out to work early)
    - bed is made and kitchen tidied.
    - Checked bank balance, transferred £8 (tarot money) to cc.


    Still got my hair to dry, clear some space in my email, sort out dinner for tonight (chicken pie), I also need to go to the shops.

    Had my second (of 4) ultrasound liposuction (got a voucher deal and only paid 10% of normal price), I can really start to see a difference. This doesn't involve needles and breaks down the fat in a specific area. Since the start I have lost 1.5cm off my hips and 0.5 off my waist.


    How is everyone today? I really need to get round everyone's diary and have a good catch up, sorry I've not been there.

    Got word about the interview, I didn't get the job. Not enough experience apparently. :(

    Thanks Dragon, bit upset tbh as why call me to interview if I didn't have enough experience?

    Just been along to the high street, not brilliant shops but adequate for what I needed today. Got 2 big balls of string to make candles £1, a big bag of curtain hooks 70p and a big bar of chocolate to cheer me up (89p). Got OH anti-perspirant, it was 2 for £4 yet she offered me a 3rd tin as a 3 for 2...... she didn't get it when I said buying 3 would cost me £6.58 yet and was more expensive doing it that way. Really, c'mon is it really that difficult?
