Atrixa's Saving Diaries

The interview went pretty well. Could probably have sold myself more but it's difficult when you're on the spot! I renewed my contents cover today, great level of cover and I got that 2 for 1 cinema ticket deal! Always pays to check the comparison sites.

Hurrah for all your savings. I hope you can get some good running shoes and I hope the interview result is good. :beer:

Enjoy the weather.

Didn't get that job, but I have another interview on Tuesday. I think i'll see how this one and another application I've done plays out then give myself a break.

I am sorry about the job. I hope that the next one goes well. Sometimes it isn't you at all it just goes to the candidate they already know.

Hope your running is going well. I haven't done anything for weeks and must restart.

Thanks I'm doing my first parkrun tomorrow. I'm quite nervous about it really. I always get anxious over daft things like 'what if I don't know where I'm going'. I'm sure it will be fine- biggest problem will be the heat

Bagged free cinema tickets with a friend's expiring vouchers. Went to see Incredibles 2 and really enjoyed it! Had another interview today. I was a nervy wreck for some reason. I should hear about that next week. Parkrun went well on Saturday so I'm planning to do another one this weekend. Great atmosphere, and free!

Hurrah for cinema for free and for parkrun. I think you are nuts in this heat but applaud you. lol

Ugh, another disappointment on the job front, but there should be a pay rise on the cards in my current position. Feeling very burned out with the whole process though.

Glad there will be a pay rise sorry about the job news. It is so hard to put yourself out there and feel judged. At least you are brave enough to have a go. Have a good weekend.

So, got my pay rise through :j

I've done some sums and now my house savings end date has gone from May 2022 to September 2021. Hopefully I'll get that down even further after a while :j
