Morning Pippi, well done on getting the thesis in, i think its free listing on ebay this weekend if thats helps. Get yourself and the kids onto Vivatic (surveys). The money racks up pretty quickly they take 20p fee (paypal) for every tenner you claim. I can manage about £10 (£9.80 once paid) every 2 weeks, the way I see it is the first one is the tv license paid and the second one goes to debt but every now and again it might get used for a fish supper.
Keiss, what kind of job are you looking for? The company I work for has vacancies near you.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. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0 -

Pippi! This is wonderful! Many congratulations on getting the thesis off, the explosion of activity since then, less than 24 hours ago, gives a real idea of how hard you were working on it, as well as the content of what posts you *did* actually manage to make.
You're doing amazingly. And I'm glad your DS is doing the right thing and giving you his debit card, thats brill, gets him back onto an even keel as well. As for feeling weird about WTFC - speaking as someone with a low(ish) income who doesn't have kids - if everyone who got it worked as hard as you, and was as thoughtful as you, the country would be very different today. You're raising the future right there, with your children, they will be wonderful citizens of tomorrow's planet, whatever country they choose to live in ... claim everything that you're entitled to, and remember that little word ... **entitled**.
Subscribing, of course, and watching with glee as to what happens next :kisses3:2023: the year I get to buy a car0 -
Good morning. Shiny new diary to fit a shiny new life :j:j:j
I still remember the feeling of relief when I posted my thesis. I walked home with a silly grin on my face and then burst into tears when DH came home and asked if I had posted it. :eek:
Poor bloke thought that meant I hadn't posted it and we got all confused. :rotfl: I think it was just exhaustion and happiness all mixed.
Good luck with the Good Life.But how can you know what you want till you get what you want and you see if you like it?0 -

Hi pippi
well done on posting your thesis
Not sure if I have got this wrong, but now you are officially unemployed? or even if you aren't can't you get housing benefit?
chevI want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?
