It is dry but cloudy outside. Today I am writing a letter of application and personal statement. All i can do is fill it in and hand it in early. I am hoping this will be finished by 2, then i am planning to walk, cook a pork joint (with crackling) and then do a tiny bit of marking. I have ordered new trousers for the interview, and a visor for interview,- in case i am called! and some lobelia, I hadnt planned to be applying for a job but it is an essential now! Cost £40
I have £90 left till the end of the month.

Do apply. As they say for the lottery 'You have to be in it to win it'
Good luck

Roast pork is great on a Sunday and that's still plenty of money for the rest of the month.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
Application done and also i did some marking too! We had a some lovely weather today but i was too busy working! It's a relief that i have done an application and really good for my confidence. One of my friends lives close to the other job and says i can live with her to save time! OMG. How cool is that. I will see if I can go by bus though as i love my house and garden.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

There's be nothing stopping you spending a night or two at your friend's house, to break up doing the commute all the time. Like you I wouldn't want to do it all the time.
Congratulations on the weightloss, can you return your new ones?Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.1 -
