Yep it's public speaking Butti, I'm not getting these jobs that I am going for and I need to change that, so hopefully through time I will manage to deal with the nerves and be able to speak right at interviews, it's quite strange as I am a very outgoing person than can speak for Scotland, but when it comes to interviews and public speaking my nerves rule,

Yep I think it's the wisest decision, stick with it for at least 6 months (3 months to review and 3 months to organise) IF we do decide to do it at all it will not be till then.

In the mean time the cards are cut the bills are paid up to date and we are skint ... Just another day in el land

so whilst i was thinking about the whole interview situation i thought i would be best to close the only gap in my c.v which happens to be a lack of recognised computer skills, i have plenty of experience with computers but nothing on paper,

so i have applied for my I.L.A fund and with that i am going to do an E.C.D.L course and get that piece of paper that covers that gap in my c.v

i am enjoying being more pro active with this getting a job malarky, just really wish i could get one now lol

There's no harm in updating skills..good luck x

elantan

Thanks taxi

I may be getting confused here , but did you do the ECDL course ?

taxi73

elantan

How did you find it ? Did you do the advanced course after ?

taxi73

it was the advanced course I did in the 1st place

taxi73

wasn't bad at all really

elantan

Oh I didn't know you could skiP straight to advance ... Might ask about that thanks taxi

In other news I picked up a further 14.5 hours overtime taking my total to 33.5 hours this month, still 25 hours short of a full time contract but better than nothing, the extra money Willard usual be divided by four , debt, spends, savings and holidays working out about £40 to each or there abouts

Was just handed two tickets to go and see Chicago, normally when we go to the theatre we go for a cheap pre theatre Indian which is normally put on the visa and paid when the bill comes in, it usually comes to with drinks and tips £20 for the two of us, but now that we don't have the visa anymore this will not be happening, will try and talk mr el into making a wee Indian instead

And with the £20 saved I will have less money to find when the bill comes in

Starting to feel like I have my gusto back for this debt dealing malarkey, now to push forward with it all
