I've not started doing the test yet. Filling in the application form, whenever I type anything the formatting of the form goes mental. I'll figure it out tho, s'ok.Debt free since 2014 - now saving for a mortgage deposit :heart2:

Hi sorry if this has already been mentioned but have you thought about doing some short courses to help with your job skills? I think as you are on benefits the courses will be free.
Good luck0 -
After three and a half hours answering the most bizarre questions and filling in my application for AQA, I deleted it. I pressed the wrong FU*KING BUTTON and deleted it. If Iwasn't so tired I'd cry. I need to go to bed to be up early enough for the post office tomorow, I have no time to do this test again.

Hi hon, just read through your post, alternately laughed. said ewww (bluebottles!) and felt sad for you. you sound like a great person and don't deserve to be in the situation you are in. but you handle it with so much humour it's inspiring. :T
Re the AQA files, try this:- go to start, (bottom lhs of screen)
go to control panel, middle right,
click on network and internet connections
click on internet options
Will come u with a screen with three boxes on it, one of which is temporary internet files.
click on settings and then on view files.
You should find some of the application in there, it may not have saved it all but upto the last auto save, may stop you doing it ALL again.
I really felt for you mentioning the cats, I have a pony who, believe it or not is largely free of charge during the summer, but i know the feeling of going without so animals can be feed, had a big smile at the IAMS in poundland,don't you just love poundland, thought those places were awful, until i got in debt and appreciated the true value of buying good but cheap washing powder toothpast etc! Bl0ody supermarkets! rip off merchants!! :rotfl:
Keep going hon and keep plugging on. you're doing so well. and LAY OFF THE COFFEE!!! :-) xxx:rotfl:debt @05/11/11 £12210.63!! slowly chipping away!!:heart2:impossible is nothing.:heart2:0 -

Oh well, I'll try filling it in and sending again on Monday when I'm home and rested. Cheeky? Yes, but god loves a tryer (aparently). xHi hon, just read through your post, alternately laughed. said ewww (bluebottles!) and felt sad for you. you sound like a great person and don't deserve to be in the situation you are in. but you handle it with so much humour it's inspiring. :T

Thanks for the kind words Pania, they've helped this moning x
I tried what you sugested about tempoary internet files, and annoyingly...the graphics are showing up in seperate files here and there, but the text hasn't! Arrrgh......hahahaha!!! Just my blooming luck.
Aaaaaaaaaand I've gone and left the washing out overnight by accient....and it's been rained on.....and I can see a black mark on a towel which is either bird poo or a beetle. Never rains but it pours!
I'll have a bacon roll for brekkie to settle my nerves
As for the animals, I've sacrafised so much for them in the past. A good dinner (or even any dinner!), holidays due to not finding a cattery for them in time and Even a boyfriend who complained about his cat allergy. Pfft! Looking at me with puppy dog eyes suggesting I ditch the cats to save him from hives and a runny nose. *Flicks the vickkie at the dude person* Jog on! After being through so much with them, and even though they're a royal pain in the Rumpus sometimes, I'd not change them for the world x.
And yes! Poundland!! I'm heading back down in around 20 minutes beacuse they've been getting branded makeup in which folk open the packaging for and leave lying around. The staff bag up the makeup in bags of 6+ items (instead of 1 or 2 items per bag) and sell each bag for 50p. I bought £40 worth of makeup on Friday for £2.50
Sorry, im rambling, only had 4hrs sleep........need a coffee *hides from Pania*

Sorry to hear the temp files didn't work, thats a b*gger.
Do they sell decaff in poundland? ;-)
So have i got this right? some bloke wanted you to ditch the cats in favour of him?!?!?!? yep righto mate hang on i'll just call the local cat shelter I DON'T THINK!! men!! Case of love me love my pony i'm afraid, or cats for that matter. :beer:
How about this for an idea whilst your out and about. Have you wandered down your local high street/ shopping centre and popped into all the food outlets? Starbucks, costa(lot) coffee, cafe nero etc? They usually have a high turnover of staff particularly with the kids going back to uni etc and may well be recruiting. May be worth a go? in fact do it! make it your challenge today! A minimum of 10 app forms before you come home right!!:cool:
Best get on with some work i guess .... yawn....

Aww hun, sorry you weren't able to retrieve the stuff.
How about contacting AQA and saying that the attachment won't open and could they send it again? That would give you 48 hours from when they send the new one?Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes.

popper update comming later.
Family problems are getting to me again, when my mum and sister are suffering, I suffer too. Ex stepdad person is being an @rse and been upsetting my sister and mum to the point of crying. After having a good Saturday and Sunday with my boyfriend I feel pretty low again.
I've got some jewlery to go post shortly and stupidly I said to the buyer that I would post it on to France for an extra £2. More fool me for not checking royal mail prices before hand. It'll cost me around £5 to post this bloomin' thing now. Won't be doing that again in a hurry.
got to go get dressed now to leave the house, then home again to scramble around the internet for more money making ideas. grr.

I made a postage error too recently and was very :mad: but just vowed not to do it again!
Did you manage to re-do AQA or contact them in any way?Successful women can still have their feet on the ground. They just wear better shoes. (Maud Van de Venne)Life begins at the end of your comfort zone (Neale Donald Walsch)0
