    Applying for a new job, man do I suck at applications!



    Good luck.


    Job applications are the pits - the application forms are so intense these days and you have to put your heart and soul into it!

    I've had the tiniest of looks on prime day and there are some good offers but I don't need anything! I'm not very materialistic anyway - asking me what I want for birthday or xmas is like getting blood from a stone!

    I thought about the wee Chromebook that they had on offer, could have picked it up for £94.99 delivered, but thought 'you know what, I'd rather keep the money!'

    I'll probably buy a small Chromebook or tablet at some point, our chunky laptop is a desktop replacement and it weights far too much to sit on the couch with it etc.

    I have a kindle and a 6 year old laptop - I use them at different times and in different ways, but I don't *need* both, not really - keep your money, Ed :)
