Sorry to hear that OH family have been bringing you down again. They seem very toxic. I would avoid like the plague.

Thanks Chev, KW, I just hope no news is actually good news!
Having trouble getting smilies to work since I went to Widows 8.1.
Whats on the agenda for me today?
Took OH to work (he's on earlies again) - Done
Breakfast (lovely porridge) - Done
Edit a CV and get it over to an agency for another job
Tidy kitchen - Done
Sort washing
Clean bathroom
Apply for new jobs posted on one of the job boards (I apply to the new ones every day)
Research on company I have interview with on Friday
Also had to explain some of the points being raised for Scottish independence to SS. I don't think he's getting the wider impact.
Chev, you're right a lot of OH's family are quite toxic. He knows that. Hence he's trying to distance himself from them. SIL sent me a message on a social media site (instead of texting or phoning me or OH) asking if she'd upset us. I replied not on that site but by text saying I seen the message and we were quite busy but fine. She knows what she's done and I'm not getting drawn into public messages like that.
Off to get on with my list. I may also have a nap at some point since I was up so early. We have snow here so we were up earlier than usual to make sure we could get out.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0 -

Dinner was sausage casserole (Aldi's 12 pork sausages for 99p), a beef stock pot and 500ml of water and an onion. I browned off the sausages and the onion and then put it in the oven for 90minutes. I served it with tiger bread so all in I reckon dinner cost £2.50 which for the 3 of us isn't bad.
Still no feedback from my interview.

I don't know KW, having worked for them I know they can drag their heels with stuff but everything else with my interview (initial and result) was reasonably quick. I don't want to come across unprofessional. One of the chaps making the decision did tell me he was going to be off Friday and Monday.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Morning All, feeling very tired this morning. Waiting for SS to come in from work so I can put my car at the back of the driveway (so I can get out later as SS once he goes to bed has a habit of taking his car keys with him), but he's taking ages this morning. Trying to get some stuff done then I can go for a sleep.
Got a letter to draft for another agency for yet another job. I also need to make a Valentine's card for OH and wrap his presents. Not got him much (as I really can't afford it) so its a couple of DVD's (thank you Poundland replay), a snood/scarf thing to keep him warm at work and some chocolate. Not very exciting but all very useful!
OH gets his first pay from this job tomorrow, he's said I can have all his wages to go towards bills. I just want to be back working. Being in the house is driving me nuts.
Whilst making sausage casserole for tea last night I boiled some chicken (only a small pack, I find it leaves it more tender), so I've split that. One portion got added to some tikka sauce for OH for his packed lunch. the rest I'll slice up and put through some pasta with some mayo and wholegrain mustard. That should make 2-3 lunchtime portions. So I'll have some later. Dinner tonight will be haggis, mash and veg of some sort.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Hi unix. Sorry to hear still no news! Can be so frustrating!
I've managed to apply for a few jobs, but nothing back as yet. Managing to fill my days rather well, although ask me 'what with?' and I'll tell you I have no idea!!
Dinner sounds tasty! We had chicken supreme last night. Yummy!!!!
