    Richt - I've a job to apply for - tight deadline as I'd heard of it and then thought I had about a month - I had two and a half days. Who says I'm not the queen of cut and paste and tight deadlines.......:D

    Linkie here PLEASE recycle this link for anyone who's looking for a PM job and get them to get something in PRONTO by 5pm on Monday 3rd March 2014 - its a great opportunity. (That's Project Manager, not Prime Minister, but never say never eh?)

    So stuffed with tea.

    I've a PP to do for tomorrow two 60 kids in 60 minutes.............deep breathing.

    :D

    Right - first off application then a gallop around the boards.

    Ooh, you should have said, I was in Thurso on Friday night! I doubt by 'posh nosh' you meant the Tandoori Spice in Princes Street though ;) (though they've got a new carpet since I was last there!)

    And, a bit of focus.

    Start of the month and debts are at......

    -4639.96 total debts
    -4089.96 only CC's and these are the priority ones for this month.

    Once the wages are cleared and I lob some proper money at stuff.

    Cancelled a few household dd's as we're on the 'shut down' on things like oil etc. So those this month can go to the cards.

    Still negotiating over camper and if we don't get a price agreed which suits us both, I may break him for spares (in the nicest way possible).

    Learning factory wages about 20 hours due mid month too. That will go straight to the cards.

    Food budget set this month again at £100 lets see if we can manage, we kinda came in on the nose this month.

    Let the games begin!

    :D

    As always all the help and whooping from the sidelines (virtual/lurking or otherwise) is always much appreciated. Wonder if I can get that CC figure down more this next month.

    Wish me luck :)

    ETA in most exciting news DS has secured a placement at the RG's day job factory. 3 months of a paid placement for him (YAY) - and means he's going to be home for most of the summer with me (DOUBLE YAY).
