Definitely, I am shattered though. Picked OH up from work and he asked how it went then got all confused about which interview I'd gone to. He's asleep and I have my feet up and Corrie about to start in the background, I've updated my diet diary (1700 calories today). Car going for it's service tomorrow...... I hope it's not another big bill
, I just want the car to be reliable for the drive to Blackpool (I'm counting down the days).
OH got someone to work the event with him, he's annoyed it'll cost him more....... don't know why as it's me that's supposed to get the money from it!CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Morning All, how is everyone?
Already:-
- dropped the car off for its service
- soaked (biotex) and washed my white shirt for my other interview tomorrow
- checked bank balance
Still to finish item for the company I spoke to yesterday. I cannot stop yawning at all. OH brought me a cup of tea this morning but it took me ages to come to.
I opened the blinds in the livingroom (where I'm sat) and I've just seen how much dust there is across the tv screen! I've got Murdoch Mysteries on (not a big fan of the mainstream daytime tv).

TV dusted, I've started the stuff for the company. Lunch (french bread pizza) is in the oven, I have one of the oven trays in the sink soaking in biological washing powder. SS has actually hung out his washing!
I'm still quite tired, hoping once I get the stuff finished for the company that I can get some tarot done. I've got one item on ebay (one of those Bravissimo strappy tops with a hidden bra) and now thinking I'll get rid of my 6 second abs and my hula hoop. Both a great idea but not used them, the hula hoop is too big to be used in my small livingroom. I actually use the pilates weight ball I bought in sainsbugs (1.99) and after using it for 2 minutes every day for 3 weeks I now am minus my bingo wings! I'm wondering if I list the 6 second abs with the hula hoop it will sell?CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

:mad: Just had a call from the garage...... £350!!!! I have 2 warped tyres (might explain shuddering on motorway and I need new brakes. I'm not a happy bunny. My Mum has said I can put it on her credit card and pay her back, I am fast running out of saving and I really need a job. I'm just so upset, I feel like crying.
just want things to work out for once.

*hugs*
Believe it or not, things are working out - maybe not in the direction you were looking, but it's damn lucky that your car went in today, as warped tyres and no brakes doesn't end well.
And you know what, if you want to cry sweetie, then go ahead and have a good old weep. Seems to me that with the OH and everything else going on right now, you're probably due a bit of a meltdown. Just do us proud and make it a goodun'!
Jobs wise, is there anything you could be doing to earn money while you look for something more fitting/permanent?0 -
Thanks Nora, I went and kicked the wheelie bin in frustration. I feel a little better but still quite teary.
I have looked for jobs locally, shop work etc but keep getting told the same thing, over qualified. I have the tarot work (telephone based), it pays ok but you only get paid for the calls you do so you can never tell how long you'll have to wait to get one. I just did one call there 20 minutes, I'll get paid about £6. I do need to log on more than I have been. I've been doing surveys but I'm miles off a payout. I think I'll see what else I can fling onto ebay.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

p.s. yes I know I'm lucky with the car, I know what my OH will say that it's just been a money pit but we didn't have the money to buy a new one. That will have to wait till I get a new job and some savings back behind me.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Interview today. OH has ignored his packed lunch for a 3rd time this week, money's tight and not only is he wasting food instead he's spending a fiver at a snack van!CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.
