Great news on the haircuts

Your budget is quite well honed too..................

There's no such thing as a daft question. At least you haven't tried to claim money back on a faulty gym ball that you couldn't blow up...because you hadn't taken the plug out!

CVs can follow;
a chronological order (follows time)
a reverse chronological order (if recent experience is more relevent than school college)
usually its not over more than two pages

I'll send you some examples on the proviso you remember I'm insecure about my intelligence so I have somewhat overcompensated for it by collecting academic qualifications (like some people collect stamps!)

Ok mortgage money and TV money came out today and after having the £20 covered I have got a wee extra £5 to put in the holiday pot... Did the private work and got £25 so that's us up to £35 have told mr el there will be no treats for the month of June as we are going away so the £50 fun money will go in the pot too ... Slowly getting there ... Had work on the phone ALL day and I caved to one shift ... I turned down several but after so many no's I felt obliged to say one yes, I went into work and have wrote in the book for June do not contact me and I have wrote all over the off duty not available so hopefully I won't be contacted in June at all as I need a break and have said as much to several staff members ( who feel the same way incidentally) two more people have been offered a job out of the units so things are going to get worse not better but I have told them no for June , once the July rota comes out I will do the same there as well

The shift I am doing on Wednesday is 14.5 hrs long but should net me about £70 towards holiday number two

I think however the time has come for a new SIM card as I think I need to change my phone number with work

Will need to try and organise that this week

thanks pippi,it looks ok as well

i think the budget is about as good as i can get it, i cant seem to find any other way to shave a wee bit off here and there, and whilst yes i probably should cut back on the extra payment to the mortgage i really want to achieve this goal

ahhh it's funny how we can be like that, i always remember thinking that you wernt clever until you had a degree, then i started my degree and learned that this is most deff not the case

it is taxi, it doesnt just happen to me though, all the workers are getting it, the boss is complaining if we dont come in on our days off, so we are expected to work 5 days then our two days off then another 5 days and continue till we drop , the irony of the sector i work in hasnt passed me by either lol

ok i have another spanner in the works, just had son on the phone, he has his last exam tomorrow ( and i know he will do well , am very proud of him) he has been pondering and researching further career prospects and courses that will get him there, he has just got off the phone with a question for his dad and i, he wants to move back home for a year ( this shouldnt be a problem so much now) but he also needs £7,000 for his course, he wont have the money to pay for it but he will pay it back, he has always paid back any money he has ever borrowed so i am not too concerned about that, the bit i am concerned is how to get the £7,000

pen and paper time me thinks

update: have started talking mr el about the situation, he so far agrees that son can move back home for a year ( rules will need to be made) but he is understandably concerned that we dont have £7k just sitting about doing nothing, and we dont have anyway of getting it in quick double time, we will need to get our heads together and think of a way forward, but we are both agreed that whilst we want to help our son we also need to ensure that we are ok, for instance i dont want to have to work a further 30 hours extra every month to supplement our son when i am feeling the way i am about work, we also dont want to not clear our mortgage and stay in debt either..

does any of that make sense ?

If you come up with some great ideas on how to raise 7k please share them as we have had an 'eventful' weekend and need approximately that amount to do some urgent major repairs on the house :eek:
