  • :wave: Hi everyone. Thanks for starting us off Candy.

    Josie sorry to hear about the job. TBH my opinion was driving all that way would be hard going despite wanting the job. I didn't weigh in as I didn't want to harsh your buzz but I can now! In truth I think in time to come you will see that this probably wasn't the job for you, meaning an even more fab one will be just round the corner. Remember "what's meant for you won't go past you". Sucks though love x

    My things for the day:

    * check banking & shifted funds
    * balanced the books - we have nearly £200 in out stoozing account now :T
    * received £7.73 interest on stoozing acc
    * all meals from stores
    * got given a coffee machine off of a lovely freecycle woman (might need some tender loving care though...)
    * did weekly shop for £31.34
    * all meals from stores
    * free coffee and water at work
    * ordered graze box - thanks ally :T
    * ordered flavoured coffee - thanks ally! :T
    * used free toiletries from last time was at a hotel

    Will also:
    * give myself a facial in a bit
    * chop up swede & onion for tomorrow's SC bonanza!
    * hang up washing

    That'll do me :D Have a lovely evening x
