Ooh yeah, MFW-(sorta)-wise: I won £5 to spend with a super cute Etsy shop I love.

Glad it's all going well P*M, I know what you mean about being fired up and unable to switch off when you get home ... here's hoping you'll get that down time on Fri.
Fingers still crossed for Mr P*M and well done for your win! xStash busting 2014 45 / 60 (balls of yarn)!

Lol, yes, I managed to release them to the recycling gods though.in_need_of_direction wrote: »Do you have manuals for stuff you no longer have? I do.
Argh, yes, that's very true! Best hang onto them then.t's a good idea to try and download them, though if you want to sell the item in the future the instructions might come in handy then.
:rotfl: Just a bit. I always thought I was the overly-romantic type but Mr M's blown me out the water really, he takes it to a whole new level at times(!)I love the sound of your stormy barbecue picnic...you and mr P*M sound very romantica penny picker upper.

I'm amazed you've heard of "wabbit"! I thought it was a peculiarly Scottish word, and I don't even hear it that much up there. It's such a great word though, I'm all for promoting its use! Glad to hear that's exactly what you've been up to with your post its
"wabbit" I use this one a lot but Mr Hbbb had never heard of it (maybe because he's originally from Gravesend). I was even given a desk-top jokey mood thing to show visitors to your office how you're feeling but "wabbit" wasn't on there so I wrote it on a postit (with suitable pencil drawn visual) and stuck it on lesser used American mood "postal"!
Likewise, I think I get the full seven days out of a carton
Another Rice Dream girl eh? Horribly expensive normally but luckily I manage to make it go quite far! Great RD tip: get an alert set up on My Supermarket, I get emails sent through when it goes down to £1 (or 3 for £3 etc) and then go and stock up (usually about 3 months worth at a time! Worth it though)
Great news is that I never needed to go to the other interview after all, as the first people want to keep me on! :T Shall chatter about it all in a separate post below:T So is this the trial week now? So glad they've noticed the excellent opportunity they have to employ a complete wonderment ... hope ears are behaving and all goes well! Fingers and toes crossed (hence typos probably). Will you still get to go to that other interview too? Great to have options! PS. I'm glad they realised what a steal I was as well. :rotfl:
We've had some news on that score - sadly he didn't get the job Good luck too for Mr P*M in his quest too!
In context of the last two ... I noticed the word relocation pop up! Is that if Mr P*M gets his job? Does that have implications for your current trial opportunity? Lots to think about in all that! Hope all's good!
(it was quite senior/different area).... but they want to talk to him about another potential role :j Won't hear more about that til next week but it's encouraging stuff. The first role could have meant a possibly commute/stay down south a few days a week because the salary would have covered it (& our rent here is cheap etc), but in another role with less pay it would probably definitely mean relocation.

I wasn't terribly naughty on Friday but I certainly wasn't that good to myself either... ah well, it's all a work in progress and it at least bring some things together that I need to be in place to make the most of next week so I can live with it.:wave:

Today's been much better, we've had a day wandering about some shops, picked up some munchies and are all set for Eurovision later! :j :j :j We have skips, hula hoops, party rings and apart from the wine it looks like I'm about to throw a kid's party. :rotfl:a penny picker upper.

Oh no, I've just realised I need to run off and make dinner (curry - got to do this Saturday night properly :rotfl:). But then I'll be back for EuroParty/Budget Chat/Career Updates/Free Money Finds/Awesome MFW Plans of Action. And so on. a penny picker upper.
