Hello SA, sorry I've been away so long!! Only upside is I had lots of your very readable updates to catch up with
Sorry to hear about Mr SA's back, at least you got the validation of that horrified look on the specialist's face regarding the walking poles!!Mortgage: £83,000
Credit Card Debt: £1,700
Loan Debt: £3,0000 -
Day 1 of the walking poles and he's hurt his side. He took them to the park on his scooter, got up to throw a ball for the dog and hurt his shoulder. Unbelievable!!
On the plus side he's decided he won't be doing the painting.
Have done my competencies for job 2 and am getting them checked before submitting the application plus there is a job 3 to apply for which came up today.
Went to the gym at lunchtime and tonight is AFD 4. Small spend of £4.49 in Lidl. Back on track now I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -
You could not make it up :eek:

3 day weekend is here
Yesterday was NSD 7 and AFD 5 - so pretty boring :rotfl:
Mr SA cheesed me off big time last night, he was very argumentative and obnoxious. It was totally uncalled for and I've no idea where it came from. Needless to say I reminded him about it this morning and he claimed not to remember. He can be really selfish and thinks the whole world revolves around him.
Anyway rant over.
Another job application submitted today. I got a trained sifter to check my competencies and she said they were the best examples she'd seen in a long time. Happy with that I have a sneaking suspicion that they already have someone in mind for this job and the advert is just to be seen to be doing things the right way, but worth a try anyway.
Eye test first thing tomorrow, not looking forward to it, suspect might need new reading glasses after 5 years with the same ones. But am looking forward to a potter round town afterwards followed by lunch with friends.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0 -

In other news Mr SA said he'd found a good place to store his walking poles. I said not as good a place as I would like to store them
He asked for that.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)0
