  • Shame but at least you will be leaving. If you are anything like me when I got my latest job I couldnt stop smiling for ages. Just walking around with a big:D on my face.

  • Hi GR. I suppose the only way to look at it is that leaving will be all the more sweeter. Hope your last day will be Friday. Fingers and toes crossed.

    Thanks girls. They had a girl call round on Monday to have a look around but she could only work until 3.00 and they need somebody until 5 pm so I don't think she's an option. I'm still smiling because I've got the job but there's a little part of me that's beginning to feel disappointed with waiting to find out when I'm finishing.

    Pay day today and I am desperate for a food shop so its Asda for me tonight. I hate shopping but its either that or go hungry.

    Had to have an early night last night was so tired and feeling down that thought that bed would be the best place for me. Had active dreams all night so I'm just as tired this morning as I was last night because I've had busy dreams :)

    Better get ready for work :( Catch you all later xx

    Hi everyone, well I've had a really good weekend. Had a fab meal out on Friday and a shopping day in Cardiff on Saturday, stayed down J's on Saturday night and had a lazy Sunday.

    Managed to get some compensation off the insurance company - £100 not bad just for a complaint. Still not had the insurance momney but now they know that every day they delay sending me the cheque they have to pay me £10 I'm sure it'll be in the post sooner rather than later.

    Also been told that instead of losing my 5 days holiday in work they've agreed to pay me for them so that'll be an extra weekspay for me. Only sanother 3 working days left then a day off on Friday before I start the new job next Monday. I can't wait.

    Have not been very good with money over the weekend, spent and absolute fortune on clothes at the weekend but all of it was paid for - no cards so that's a big massive achievement.

    Not got back into the e-baying yet but keep promising myself that I will, thats the next job for me to do. Amazon ticking over nicely, selling a few books every week, not making my millions but certainly making some pennies.

    Not updated for a few days been really busy finishing one job and preparing for the new one. Also been doing a counselling course so been concentrating on getting all my assignments done so that's not on my mind. Have just finished the paperwork now and e-mailed it all to my tutor so its just a matter of sitting back and waiting to see if I've passed now.

    Have had a really good week regarding money. Managed to get the holidays that I haven't managed to take paid to me so that's an extra 5 days wages, also had a cheque off the insurance, am waiting for a BACS transfer for the remainder of the insurance money and also managed to get £100 compensation out of the insurance company. Also won £10 on the lottery on Wednesday so a good week in all.

    Off down J's tonight so will be leaving soon, just wanted to update and catch up on whats happening on here.

    Wayhay have started my new job and its fab. The girls in my office are so friendly and down to earth and more importantly they are professional. Today was the start of my second week and the job is so busy there doesn't seem to be enough hours in the day, but it absolutely flies by.

    Absolutely loved having Friday off, done so much running around and house work I was sleeping by 6.00 pm :)

    Have finally had all my insurance money and replaced nearly all of the items that were stolen so have had one hell of a shopping spree. Lifeis absolutely sweet at the moment.
  • :j :j Great news GR so good to hear the job is going well you so deserve it.

    Thanks guys. Cant believe how different and more positive I feel. My confidence is at an all time high, its great to get up in the morning and not have the sick feeling in my stomach thinking about going into work.

    Had my £100 compensation cheque from the insurance comany today so it certainly paid off complaining. Have received all the money thats owed to me now so got nothing else to look forward to. Still haven't sorted myself out with getting back into e-baying, really need to get myself geared up again. Don't seem to have the time lately.

    Well my second week of the new job is over and I'm having a fab time. Worked a 5 day week this week because there was a meeting that I had to attend on my day off so I'm doing a 3 day week next week to have my day back. Off Monday and Friday :)

    Money ticking over nicely, no lottery wins or major windfalls am hoping that the new financial year will see an increase in tax credits for me but will have to wait and see. Not even had any mystery shops.

    Have finally replaced all the items that were stolen in my break-in, have bought a new computer, have had it for over a week and its still in the box, I've not even had time to open it. Have decided to take it down J's tonight and hopefully he'll offer to install all the programs for me (I hate doing that bit).

    My daughter had her first ever sleep over last night, she stayed at a friends house and I've not slept all night so feel really tired this morning. I didn't know the girls family and have worried about where I've let her stay. Its sad that this is the way we think in this day and age. I'm hoping that now she's done it once she won't want to do it again.

    Taking mum out for lunch today as I won't be around tomorrow, don't really know where to go am hoping most restaurants will be quiet today as everyone will be watching the rugby. Not got much else planned so hopefully catch you all later.

    GR x
