    I'm getting there but don't find it the easiest tool to use. It's handy if you're looking for work though as people see you're looking and mention if things are coming up.
  • I've found all the jobs I've applied for the folks have checked me out.

    So its useful for potential employers as well.

    Not that Ive found a job..........so that's prob not much help of a post eh?

    No idea - it's week to week for a few months so as long as I don't screw it up I could be there for a while :D

    Good morning :D

    A busy day today so a boring list to start with:
    • Grocery shopping - aim to spend under £40 but stock the house well
    • Craft show! Have £20 to spend although Paypal balance will let me bump this to £30 in an emergency
    • Dishes (Mr Mooo doing as I've cut my finger quite badly.)
    • Washing x 2 loads
    • Clean the bathroom
    • Take books to the charity bin/drop off point.
    • Hoover
    • Tidy all the sh*te off the living room table.

    I also need to find time to make dinner as I have a friend coming round for tea. :eek: I'm still in my jammies so I had better go and get ready. Have a good day everyone ♥

    Yay! I never take insurance on phones and when my last phone was near-new it fell out of my pocket and in to a puddle where it marinaded in a torrential downpour for twenty minutes before I rescued it :eek:

    The old rice and a bag trick saved it. It was temperamental for a few days while the last of the water worked its way out, but it lived a long and happy life until I got a new contract :D

    Glad it worked for you!

    Off to update my to do list again...yikes!
