Pleased that you're feeling better today DNMS.
I know how awful it is when you've had your confidence knocked - it's hard to pick yourself and get back on with things again. But be proud of yourself - you've got applications on the go, and you have had a fantastic month with your money as well. I know that you've had a bad experience in the past, but remember that the future is yours to take. It's hard not to take rejection personally but I'm a firm believer that when the right job arrives then it will be yours.Not giving up

Bob you have such a good way of looking at life and I am so susceptible to other people's ideas! :rotfl: You are absolutely right and have switched my thought process. Any cash I make is less out of my savings - simple when it's laid out in front of me :T
I submitted another job application yesterday, and it wasn't as torturous as the first one on Thursday :T I've also arranged to go and meet with a careers advisor at the uni I went to to discuss postgrad options
This weekend nothing planned except more work around the house. Oh is going to take some bits to the tip and clear out the garage a little....
Things to be grateful for over the last 24 hours:
1. oh & I shared a lovely bottle of wine last night which I picked up on offer. Need to write down what it is for future reference!
2. I completed a 2nd job appl
3. dgd was a little angel while I was doing the job application. She was given a princess play house tent thingy for her birthday which has just been in the larder for a couple of months. So we set it up and made it into a little den with her blankets, pillows, teddies & tea set and that gave me a good 1/2 hour to complete it
4. I picked up a little cow egg & spoon set for dgd for £1.49. She has just discovered the joys of egg & soldiers
Ok think I'm going to go and have a soak in the bath and then start the dayDF as at 30/12/16

Hi Determined
Wow you sound like a new woman! Amazing what a bit of time to think can do. I love the sound of your walks in the woods. There are so many beautiful trees near us that are all on the turn..one bright red one in particular I always like to look at.
Hope you have a good weekend and fingers crossed for the job.
Bob" Your vibe attracts your tribe":D
