    Hope you hear about the interview before tooooo long, nothing worse than waiting for the call back. I am sure you will have done all you needed to do. Fingers & toes crossed for you.

    Moving swiftly on.....

    I'm going down with a cold, damn and blast! Got the scratch throat and sneezing - deep joy.

    There is the first dusting of snow here, I'm not sure when and if the large dumping will arrive. Probably whilst I'm at work.

    Nothing to report, no watchers on my eb@y items and minimal housework done. Bank account checked and no large deposits have appeared overnight. I'll be at work later so won't be back here until the evening.

    Hello! New to your diary but have enjoyed reading it so much. I'm amazed at how well you have done with the debt repayment despite the job hassles, and love your animal tales. *subscribes*
