    Well I didn't get the job :( He's employed someone who used to work for him, he did tell me I was the only other suitable candidate that applied and should it not work out I ll get a call but that doesn't help me now... Not managed to get any overtime for the last two weeks which isn't good so I'm looking and hoping and ebaying like crazy... Got an exam on Wed for college so trying to revise for that... Am stressed..

    Exam went rubbish... Don't need a massive grade to pass so hope I've scraped it!

    So got a couple of days of work placement left to do then the year is totally done.

    Need a serious sort out of the finances... In desperate need of a full time job over summer.. Can't seem to find anything tho :( Need to save to buy a new car as mine is !!!!!!ed and MOT runs out in September so need something by then...

    Stresssssssssss


    Hope your all well,

    Well payday today so paid £50 off the credit card.

    I've just sat and added up all of the bits and bobs I bought at my place of work last month (this is minus the big shop and fuel obvs) and it's come to £118.60 :o I'm so ashamed I've spent that much money on chocolate and crap!!
    Doesn't sound much but when your wages are £300 a month on a good month its horrific..

    So this month is going to be as many NS days as possible and ebaying all I can...

    Things will get better.. somehow!

    :eek:

    That's a lot of spends on 'crap'!!!!

    Allow yourself so much, maybe £10 a week or something for buying things at work, but stick to it! Only take that money, or leave it in your drawer at work. Don't carry your bank card.

    You CAN do it! :D

    Happy Friday!!!

    Eeeep! As if I haven't updated this in so long! My bad! Things have been a little crazy I'm working all the hours I can at the supermarket. However my car has died so I've had to buy a new one :( which has completely skinted me :(
    I hate cars!!
    So I have a day off tomorrow and I'm gonna organize my finances again as I've had to put fuel on my credit card and things..

    On a happier note I've been helping to milk cows... Sounds bizzare but I did a bit as a child and loved it so been spending my spare time at the farm and learning alot! Tonight I got a message from a friend out the blue asking if I want to milk two nights a week and get paid for it! :) So things are looking up!

    Hope your all well

    I find it's worse getting splatted by flying sh!7 but it's all part of the fun and games! Unbelievably I've been asked to go for an interview at a farm I where I applied for a job a while ago and there's the possibility of it becoming full time and I could fit the other milking around it... Arghh could I have found my calling and my life actually be falling into place?!?
