    What good news! Being on the job application circuit as well, I know it's so hard not get your hopes up. But this could be the one!! I do hope so!

  • Hiya Brizzle and thank you for reading posting and subscribing.

    I am day shift today and........walking to work :j. A lot busier on days, opposed to my nights ! I cant walk back yet, as That means I have to walk up a dark counryish lane, but as soon as the light night come in, I will be doing that too.

    Well I must go and get ready for work !!!! seems strange to say that on a morning, usually PM when I am saying that lol.

    Have a good weekend all.

    Back to update after PM !!!! tonight

    :)

  • I did not get back later lol, had a bath, glass of wine and an early night zzzzzzz.

    I am now on holiday until, Tuesday night next.

    Plans for the week. Swimming and decorating at my mams house, so that will keep me away from the shops :j. Mam will feed us as we work ?

    NSD yesterday and today and looking at less than £7 for the rest of the week :T.

    I am in the process of sorting out stuff for eBay and have listed one or two things. Lots left to list.

    Interview for this week coming up, but as yet have no day or time, get back on that one.

    right back to my sorting ( counted 8 pairs of jeans, 6 of which don't fit ).

    :)

    Having bit of a panic. Next week - eldest son's birthday, friend's birthday, husband's birthday, mum's birthday (and mum's 80th birthday party) - oh and Mother's Day! And breathe .. will worry about money again the following week. Have a good week everyone.
  • Adrisco, wow thats a lot all once, let me know how you coped and what you wangled to get what. I am trying to get ahead with presents ! as I usualy wait till the last minute and dash out and grab anything. Not very MSE.

    I am at this moment :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad: I cancelled my Credit Expert and low and behold they have gone and taken itout again. £15 near enough, soooo angry. Another phone call to make.

    Otherwise doing well with my budgets.

    Second job have said they will ring today to make an appointment for an interview.

    :)
