    Last day in current job tomorrow and oh my how I cannot wait!!! Example of why I'm leaving: boss asks girl I sit next to a question we could both answer, I find the answer in 5 seconds and tell him, he ignores me and goes on her pc to get the answer taking him 60 seconds, he then repeats what I just said. What a w****r.

    :mad::mad:for you. Having my own issues, too - resulted in an hour and a half with HR yesterday dealing with bullying behaviour....:(

    Also saw that you've joined Frugal Living :T I rarely post but read every day. Love it.

    Jemma - HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Thanks for everything you do here for us :T:bdaycake:

    Happy birthday Jemma :A

    On another note, I could kick myself today. Last night I got a supermarket grocery delivery at 9:30pm and proceeded to cook up a storm so that I could have lunches and dinners for today and tomorrow while at work. I ended up going to bed really late, but I thought it was worth it so that I wouldn't have to spend any money on food at work.

    Then I went and left the tupperware in the fridge this morning!! :mad:
    I brought a load of snacky type things with me as I can't go home for dinner before a meeting I have tonight, which is what distracted me from the fact that my usual tupperware box was missing :(

    So I won't be able to add to my NSD target for this month, sooo frustrating!!

    Thank you for all your lovely birthday wishes (and cakes!) :A

    My cheque finally cleared so I have just paid off my car loan 2.5yrs early saving me £400 in interest!!! :j This is a fab birthday already :D It's a lovely feeling to know that I've just wiped £400 off my total without having to pay it. I've also got enough left to pay an extra £160 off my credit card so will do that now BEFORE I go out...

    I'm off to the Trafford Centre soon, taking my grandma for a day out cos there's a couple of bits I need and I really fancy a jacket spud with chicken tikki from the food court... mmmmmmmmmmmmm

    OK, got to get ready so see you all later peeps and I'll let you know the lovely things I bought and more importantly, the things I put back! :rotfl:
