Well I don't think so.... he did bring me over a chinese... so kind of balances it out a bit.... but having a chinese whilst being on a diet (albeit a chocolate diet at the moment :rotfl: ) is V naughty!!!!"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little."

Woo-hoo I have an interview on Monday.....yay!!!!! :T :T I was pro-active this afternoon and contacted a local insurance broker and they're looking to recruit, just not sure whether PT or FT, so I have to impress him enough for him to take me on PT.... I know their software system inside & out, so I have that in my favour..... I'm excited..... I know now this is the right decision for me now as I feel excited about the interview..... :j"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." Edmund Burke

Forgot to mention that when I return to work I'll get full housing benefit paid for the 1st 4 weeks as well so that's a huge weight off, means I won't get behind with anything in the 1st month. Plus the nursery I like has agreed to accept 2 weeks advance payment and not a month :T :j
I'm feeling really motivated about getting a job now, I can't wait, mainly so I can pay my debts a lot quicker but also so I can talk to people again, not just about babies!! :rotfl: Don't get me wrong I'll probably be a wreck on my 1st day and will miss her dreadfully but I know this is the right thing to do.
Have washed my suit ready for tomorrow.
I spoke to a family member last night as she's in debt too under CCCS and is doing well but I've told her about this site and my situation, even told her my username so hope she's reading this!! Have given her lots of info, pigsback, cutting back, budgeting etc. Hope she gets the buzz to get her DF date sooner.
That's all for now."Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." Edmund Burke

Had a really positive interview, they are def interested and 3 days pw seems to be ok. Have said could do FT for a week or 2 during busy periods providing I can arrange the childcare. Just waiting to hear now, very frustrating! I want to know now!!! lol

Hmmm. Thought I'd posted this message earlier ... but maybe there was a blip. Really pleased your interview went well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. It'd be great if you were to get a job from your first interviewPennies make pounds.

Hmmm still not heard about the job, but it was only yesterday. I'm such an impatient person!!! They def seemed interested so am being positive, I got the impression they just wanted to check out my references, I know there won't be any problems with them. I just wish I knew either way. It was really weird being back in an Insurance Brokers, felt good. Really want to get back into insurance, it's what I know (been doing it for 13 yrs) and I do enjoy it.
On a plus, I'm going over to BF's tonight for the eve and staying the night too, which is a rare treat... :j :j :j I'm excited cos it means a whole night of sleep!!! How sad is that, no other reason:rotfl:
Doing well with my unnecessary spending challenge, really being good, so thanks to all over there.
OneDay = Really pleased you've told Mr OneDay, it's such a weight lifted isn't it.... well done. :beer:"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." Edmund Burke

YAY!!!!!!! :j :j :j :j :j
I got the job, 3 days a week, Mon/Tues/Fri.
Not sorted salary or anything yet as the boss is off on hols now until Tuesday. But know will be better off. Plus it's doing what I know.
I'm so excited...... really can't wait to get out there and earn money to clear my debt..... I can't believe how much my attitude has changed since finding this site and all you lovely people who have supported/encouraged me.
:beer: to you all xx"Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could only do a little." Edmund Burke
