I want to stop drowning

Thanks for reading and subscribing.

My family had in the past mentioned interest but then felt guilty so currently don’t charge us interest.

What is wrong with this site at the minute? If you put an apostrophe in a word a number comes up. I’ve noticed it with other diaries and it just happened to my above post. I had to go back and put the whole word or is shows as 8217 or something like that!

I am having this too.
Maybe it is an attempt to encourage us to use formal, standard English?

Hi Debtagh,

I hope you manage to balance your books this month, you did so well in January . I would say think well before you accept all invitations as you have been doing .

As for your DD my mum told me this saying ! The less you say the better it is!.I went through years of my daughter knowing better than me , then one day when she was about 18 she got up a different person. Went to university ( only geeks went to university) was her usual saying ! She now has a fantastic job , her own home, husband and children. It is a difficult period as she will be under pressure for her GCSE!!!8217;s . You just have to ride it out and deal with things appropriately.

Have a good day.

I think that is a fantastic saying and what I am going to have to do!

I am feeling completely demoralised and inadequate. I have been rejected for another job! I do not mention half the jobs I apply for on here but I have applied for lots and they are mostly minimum wage and in areas I have experience in and not the best hours but I can not even get these jobs!

Maybe you need to tweak your cv or need some advice on filling application forms in. I find they are like minefields these days.

Do not; get despondent , maybe be more choosy about what you apply for.

Some employers are incredibly shortsighted and it is so much easier to get another job when you are already working sadly. I know you have been self employed but employers unfortunately tend to disregard it so many will look at your cv to the last time you were employed. If that was a long time ago then they may just toss your application aside. Wrong but I know it is done.

Minimum wage jobs are no easier to get than others really and sad as it is a lot of jobs are still gained through contacts or recommendation from somebody.

Maybe some voluntary work will beef up your cv a bit or as you have mentioned before a training course. Can you contact your local job centre to see what they suggest?

Thanks. I have had a friend look at my cv and my dh has helped me with applications. I have been very choosy.

I am also employed through the adhoc work I do. My plan is to do voluntary work once my youngest is at school.
