    It's farsical tbh ... And yep p1$$ up and brewery were words that I used also

    This has been going on since September when I was told I ha the job ... It's been going on longer than that tbh ... As they lost my application a few times as well

    Honestly ... No wonder there is so much wastage and short staffed ness within our society

    nope certainly couldn't

    well after being awake for a marathon 32 hours ... (thought it was 30 but it was 32 ) i finally crashed at 7.30pm last night and slept soundly till 11am this morning ... have woken up feeling still tired but rested, will catch up on the last of the sleep tonight and feel back to normal tomorrow i hope.

    Have managed to find another £100 for the mortgage, purely through not spending the budget and Mr El's wages due tomorrow so have transferred the extra to the mortgage ... it feels good to be making inroads into it ... not as much as last year but still every penny paid off is a penny less to pay interest on :)

    Have got loads of boxes to take to the dump today and two weeks worth of housework to do ... thats going to be fun ... not ... but will use this week to try to get back to normal again ... just in time for another fortnights worth of work and a holiday.

    Main thing is mortgage is still slowly coming down ... visa is slowly coming down and holiday money is there to spend so no further debt will be incurred
