    Thank you for your support, it so appreciated. I'm teetering a bit so need the help!

    I'm catching up on diaries and planning my day. Obviously, there will be the work search and chase up of any emails to do with work. I must also write back to friends whose emails are long outstanding :o

    I think a list is in order:

    • Contact Sky and find out why they have given and charged me for extra channels I didn't ask for - and get my money back!
    • Finish pile of paperwork - then file it
    • eBay three vintage summer dresses - hate eBay and will need to iron the dresses before photoing :mad:
    • Do a meal plan - enough in the store cupboard but it will need thought as to how to combine it
    • Look at darling Lucielle's document and compile a list of questions for her - she'll like that bit :rotfl:
    • Send my profile to Brizzle
    Wash the car - the windows are so dirty I might as well have net curtains :o

    Guess that will do for now.

    Grr to not getting the job, I am employed at the moment, but for how much longer is anyones guess, looking to but not much out there, it really is carp :(

    Sending lots of good luck vibes your way. Must be something out there.

    Hope ebay comes up trumps, it has really helped me, it is soooo boring but the extra pennies are helping. Hope the dresses sell for a decent price.

    Morning, well done keeping your head up - really hope you find some inspiration soon work wise. Just keep chipping away, think like the Small DFWB thread, and of course there is the infamous Mr T catch phrase.

    Hope the EvilBay works for you!
    And just think how smug you will feel with a clean car - can you pop round and do mine whilst you are at it please?

    Have a good day - sun is out!

    Thank you for all the vibes and good wishes, it's helping!

    I got turned down for the council job today, it was a contract for internal communications. I spent ages tweaking my cv and making sure my letter was relevant, but...

    On a good note I achieved nearly everything on my list with the exception of the meal planning, which I completely forgot about!

    Three beautiful dresses on eBay, including my favourite tea dress. I sold a vintage skirt on there today for 1.50 - ridiculous... I have another couple ready to go on tomorrow, I got fed up with the ironing of them for their photoshoot!

    Sky is sorted out, I'm not being billed for the extra channels, not sure why this is. It's not even a bargain as I won't be watching them.

    I'm off to catch up with all of you now see what's going on in your worlds.

    Love to you all...
