    Jumping up and down and screaming like a nut is one of life's shortcuts to happiness :)

    Good luck with the ebaying, I have a fair bit to do but I was wondering if its worth it in January assuming most people have no money left after Christmas. Maybe I will seek out jwil and see how she is doing on the ebaying front.

    *delurks* :D

    I've done really well this month, cleared loads of [STRIKE]crap[/STRIKE] quality items, including stuff that's been on for ages.

    If you don't want to put it on now, you could always time it to end towards the end of the month when people start getting paid again.

    Sorry for invading Piq, I'm always reading and cheering you on (and yours too PG) but I'm rubbish at posting at the moment. :o

    Another one coming out of the kingdom of Lurk to cheer you on for Thursday, Piq. I am a real admirer of yours and have read all your diary and pop in every day.

    I am strangely nervous and excited for you - is that sad? A complete stranger from t'internet yet I will be thinking of you on Thursday and rushing home from work to read how you have got on.

    Your Captain, Colin and job centre stories have me in fits of laughter, and you so deserve to have a lucky break.

    So.............another one with pom poms at the ready - oh, and I am a granny so not as fit and lithe as some of your friends on here but we old lasses can still strut our stuff for a while when the fancy takes us lol,

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Oh dear, interview this soon, I'm thinking a few of us will have straining seams on our cheer-leading outfits. No seriously, Yey to Thursday :j

    Hope the the interview goes well tomorrow.

    I was reminded of your story about dressing in riding gear to confront the cafe owner yesterday as I put a suit (and tie!) on for the first time in ages for my meeting. Need to dress up again today. Really must get back to running so the trousers aren't so tight :o

    GOOD LUCK

    Cheerleading outfit may not sustain acrobatics so will wave pom poms and bounce a bit from the sidelines

    Firstly, surely the cheerleader costumes are lycra???

    Secondly, I am seeing a theme here, the straining seams.....I'm afraid to try on my suit :mad: It may not be the heels that cause me problems...

    Thirdly, Mrs PG does not seem to have any problems getting into her pom poms.....If I didn't like her so much I'd hate her....:rotfl:
