    :wave: Evening lovelies,

    :beer: I gave my son £20 to go out with as he hasn't had any spending money for ages and he went for his first ever job interview today and they offered him the position on the spot!

    WoooHOOOOOOOO! :j

    (He starts Monday.)

    It's working in the field he wants, and the starting pay is £14k - not bad for a first proper job I reckon - pay review in 3 months.

    He's had two and a half months of :wall: :wall: :wall: since he left college so I'm really pleased. :T

    :dance: Chuffed! :dance:

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    :hello: everyone!
    Well I spent £1.90 today - indulged in a sausage sandwich and a cup of coffee after my seminar today with a friend :)

    CONGRATS to your son Jacks, that's great news! x

    NSD for me today...only 2nd one this week though!

    Expensive day ahead (what a surprise) tomorrow....Tesco delivery coming (around £90 - budgeted for) & need petrol (budgeted for - probably £30). Also got to take DS2 to Clarks as his school shoes have been rubbing his toes since he started in September - haven't got receipt though, but am hoping they'll exchange them...if not..add on another £30+ for shoes:mad:

    Am out for a meal to celebrate my aunt getting engaged tomorrow (she's in her 70's, he's 82 - I KID YOU NOT!!!:rotfl: ) but that's paid for..will need to buy drinks but DH can do that as he always manages to get out of spending his money!!

    Hi PaP - What is your new business? :confused:

    Whatever it is - best of luck with it - I'm sure it must be something to do with your 'artistic' talent. :A
