SunFlower Sorts Her Life Out!

:rotfl: Well, I'm aiming at what I would vaguely like, and am prepared for a few detours along the way. It seems to be the only way.

Have a think about what areas you would like to work in and what you would have to do to get there. (You can't get tasebud replacement operations yet, can you?! )

The problem is the part where I think about what I want to do....don't like retail and loathed admin work where I didn't have any realworld outside contact - ie I need to see people daily but hate customers. :rotfl:

Become service provider of a different sort: worrabout nursing or caring in some capacity? I'm sure some of them would annoy you greatly, but others would make it all worthwhile!


Also, minimum credit card payment has gone out of the bank account, so that's another £45.soething paid off. (Pity about the interest! ( )

God no, I hate blood and all other body fluids. TBH at the moment am hoping for appraisal time to roll around so I can start making noises to the boss about moving around different depts with a view to moving up in to a managerial role at some point. Having gone from managing in my last job before I moved south to being a 'mere' supervisor has been frustrating.

I just had to change my credit card to minimum payments thanks to the cost of moving house and the need to get my poor car serviced. Once we're moved I should be able to change it back to a set payment and am planning to keep making extra payments from the mystery shopping and survey money whenever I can.

Fair enough. And I hope your car is OK, too.

Have you already moved or are you about to? Best of luck...they say it's a seriously stressful thing to do.

I bought some Coke today and a drink at the pub after college. I also cleared out my penny pot and put a grand total of £3.06 in the bank, to come off my CC. Rock and roll! :rotfl:

scubaangel

About to move, all being well it'll be the first week in December as thats the point nearest the end of our current tenancy agreement that beloved boy will actually be home for long enough to pack and join in the moving process.

Car should be fine, but shes over due a service and as I discovered last night one of the bulbs in her headlights has blown so think I best get the servicing done to make sure theres no other invisible problems before the weather gets too awful, and give me a heads up on anything that might need doing at her first MOT next year.

Rock n roll indeed, but well done anyway, every extra payment is a bonus and one not to find later.

SunFlower

Oh, that's not too bad: silver linings and all!

And you are right about the extra payments. £3.06 + £3.06 + etc. soon adds up.

Spent today: £1.99 on rubbish. Sort it out, SunFlower!

scubaangel

I'll raise your £1.99 with my £6.50 - things I like just had to be on offer when I didn't have the pet male with me to tell me to not buy them, I really didn't need the extra jars of fajita sauce and spices when I'm supposed to be clearing out the cupboards prior to the move!

SunFlower

'The pet male' :rotfl:

I went to Leeds this evening to see Paul Merton's Silent Clowns. It was really good! I spent £22.39 on dinner and drinks, and the cash machine ate £50 of mine! :mad: The bank have launched an investigation, so we shall have to see what happens there, but I'm not amused, that's for certain.

I've decided to Ebay a bit tomorrow, so we shall see what happens. I managed to give the friend I went to see the show with some toiletries and a cook book, so that's 3 less things I need to find space for.

scubaangel

Fingers crossed the money finds its way back in to your account without too much hassle, real pita when things like that happen isnt it! I've never been a big fan of Paul Merton, he seems quite slimey to me - although I rarely see anything he's done recently unless its repeated on Dave when the p.m has the remote (and yes he's a pet, coz I'm 90% certain its only human shaped).

I'm feeling quite motivated as far as ebay goes at the moment, more things sold and paid for so need to post tomorrow, then spend an hour or so in the evening listing some more of the small junky things I'd otherwise just bin coz I picked them up as freebies at trade shows in a past life and have never made use of them (nor the product ranges they technically advertise).

I'm busy decluttering small bottles of toiletries at the moment have a little under 4 weeks to get the three boxes in to two before we move.

Yes! I was so lucky I had transferred more money that I needed over to the account I was taking it from as I can't access my main account at the minute (pin issues). This SunFlower is not amused, to say the least!

I know what you mean about Ebay and best of luck with the toiletries...let's not get me started on just how many I've got to get through! :rotfl:
