    MM Day 11 & 12

    Morning :wave:

    Well I thought I was over my bug yesterday but I guess I wasnt:o.

    I went for a run but felt sluggish and then went to beauticians and hairdressers and when I got home I felt ill and was so poorly. Had to dig out the hot water bottle as I was so cold. I slept for a few hours and then went to bed about 8. I missed the party last night and suggested to OH we go and show our faces but he looked at me like I’d lost the plot:). Self care involved a very early night. Feel better today but not 100%.

    Today’s plans involve -
    • Prepping for interview
    • Small grocery shop
    • Lunch prep for tmw
    • Get clothes ready for tmw.

    Sorry to hear you've not been well. I hope you feel better soon. Good luck with the interview prep too :)

    MM Day 13

    Thanks Lilith - haven’t been properly ill in so long so I was probably due something. Feeling much better this morning so at least it will be gone by interview. Fingers crossed.

    Interview prep was half hearted this weekend due to sickness but I had all my notes prepared so just need to get them into my head and I still have 2 days left (that made the butterflies flap in belly).

    Money mindfulness is going really well but you should see my Amazon wish list:o. Nearly everything that goes into the wish list stays there and gets deleted later so that says it all reallly. I know I’m not even half way through the month but I have more money in my account at this time of month than normal.

    I have my breakfast and lunch prepped today and I can’t see me needing to spend any money. :).

    MM Day 14

    Afternoon,

    Wow another NSD today and yesterday.

    I have my interview tomorrow _pale_ and I might spend another hour tonight on my notes but I think I'm as well prepared as I could be. My friend threw a couple of questions at me this evening and my mind went blank but hopefully that will not happen tomorrow.

    Tonight I'm out for an hour or so and then 1 hour of interview prep, quick shower and early night. I will probably toss and turn for a few hours but that is to be expected.

    I've arranged to go out for lunch tomorrow with an ex colleague who has helped me prepare for the interview and that will be my way of thanking her.

    Ok almost home time and I will be glad to have this interview over with. I said after my last promotion I will never go for an interview again and look at me now, I have an interview tomorrow and a test for a general promotion in Sept..:o. Ok after this I will never do an interview again.....

    Wishing you all the best for the interview, Munchin. You've done far more than a lot of other people, so I hope it pays off for you :)

    MM Day 15

    Morning :wave:,

    I woke up at 4.30 but my normal waking is 5.30, so that isn’t too bad. Staggered out of bed at 5 and have brewed a large coffee :coffee:, let pup out for his business and just sat down to go over notes again. My plan is to read them to about 7 and then take pup for a run. I should be back in house, showered by 9ish. I want to pop into chapel to light a candle (Mum always lights candles for us ..no matter our age when we had exams and results but now she has widened the field to all events:)). It’s just trying to make my morning go in until I leave for interview at 11.

    After interview I will meet my friend for lunch & then after that super analyse everything I said/should have said/didn’t say:o. Yes I’m like this at all interviews and scary events and I’m not going to change:D.

    No plans this evening except to relax with a glass of wine:).

    I’m noticing more things I’m getting low on but trying not to buy this month (would not have given 2 thoughts to before being more money minded) are -
    • Double wear foundation
    • Moisturiser (getting really low)
    Will add to list but keeping tabs on much I can stretch the shopping.

    MM Day 16

    Hi Lilith - I would say it was awful & I embarrassed myself but to be honest that is how I feel after any interview :o. I don’t know, there were 14 interviews and they don’t finish until next Tuesday. I expect to hear on the grapevine Wed or Thurs next week. Hopefully by tomorrow I will not feel as bad :).

    I frittered a bit today - £1.39 on coffee as I didn’t sleep much much last night.

    Feel better now and changed sheets on my bed to have a good nights sleep.

    Well done for getting through it! I've come out of interviews and cried, thinking I'd fluffed it up, and ended up getting the job lol. Fingers crossed for you :)
