    Well done, K9! What is it doing?

    Thanks all so much for your greetings :smileyhea.

    WantToBeSE. It's a kitchen porter role in a restaurant. Lovely looking place though, where they have a grand piano. I'm quite excited but nervous. It's been a really long time coming. it was only Wednesday i broke down and had a little cry, as the jobcentre had rang me up threatening to sanction me for " not doing enough". So can't wait to stick a virtual two fingers up to them also, and not have to answer to them anymore.

  • :j:j:jBig congrats K9!!:j:j:j Good luck with the new job :D

    On to report that I have failed miserably!!:o Entire grocery budget for the month has gone (and then some!!:eek:)....dh not well at the moment with man-flu so have spent a great deal of it on meds, then had two take-outs this week as couldn't be bothered to cook, haven't took lunch to work so have spent cash every day on that, bought sweets and c**p to pig out on while at my desk and generally been a total idiot financially for the entire week!!! :o

    I'm putting it down to a pre-unemployment wobble as will be getting my official redundancy notice at the end of this month....well, that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
