    well I'm back on the wagon!

    MS org rung me last night pleading for me to do 2 visits today in the next town over - I said only if you pay travel expences - which they agreed to give me £10 travel plus the money for both mystery shops!

    had to cancel a meeting to fit it in today though!

    DEBT FREE for the first time in 10 years and with savings!

    1st Baby due May 2011 :o it's a BOY:j

  • Took the kiddies to Thorpe Park yesterday, travelling time was 4 hours there and back and DD3 was sick 6 times and DD2 once when we arrived home so the day didn't go as well as expected BUT

    today have a lovely ms lunch to do with them and I am taking them bowling courtesy of a free voucher from the express so less travelling today and a lovely treat for them. On the ms front the work in my area has quietened down.

    The GRG office is a stones throw from my office. I signed up ages ago and never heard anything back.

    I reckon any in the local area are probably done by the local office workers rather than giving them out to other people. Ah well ...

    Woohoo- had my first MS assignment today! :dance: It was very quick - saw it on the net at lunchtime and decided to do it this afternoon.

    It was a nice and quick one, perfect for a rookie like me! Just got to do the report tonight, and am also struggling with the expenses claim. :o :rolleyes:

    Oh, and had an email that I've been accepted for TNS :D

    Am really really excited about this - thanks to all the contributors to this thread :beer:
