OK, well just a quick update, things are going well. I will have been in my present job for a year in Nov 2007. I have gathered all the experience I can lay my hands on, and am now looking for another job which pays more. :j
I have signed up onto some online job companies, and await a job which fits my criteria. I will not leave my present job before I get another one. :laugh:
Only 2 outstanding debts to negiotiate, and they are being considered.
NatWest has given me money for the bank charges, and I have applied that to what I owe them. The rest is being paid in instalments. :dance:
:bdaycake: My birthday is soon, and I have asked family/friends to buy USEFUL things ie: a token payment against a utility bill, vouchers for hair cuts, a bus pass etc. Not very "gifty", but hey... I cant afford to turn such things down, and need to be practical.
That's my quick update for Sept/Oct 2007.
Stay positive!

Hi Gem
Great to hear that things are getting better for you. You have come such a long way in such a short time. Well done.
Look forward to your next update

Edited to add, just wondering, but when you have been in the job a year, perhaps you could ask for pay rise cos you have been there a year?I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

Wow is it really a year in Nov? My word.
Anyway you've come such a long way and you are an inspiration for people you really are.
Very proud of you.
Big hug.
