well done hunni, i know its not what you would like to do but hey its a job and as you say you have the mornings to do as you please and get your business up and running again
Thanks PaP, and everyone else who I haven't thanked yet. :A :A
I appreciate that it is not what I wanted, and I'll have to wear that new green uniform :eek: :eek: but, after a year with no income, other than the two months that I did some work for an ex-customer of mine, the feeling of 'self-respect' that actually earning some money, rather than having to depend almost entirely on my long-suffering wife, more than outweighs any misgivings about ASDA - in fact so many posters here have told me how good they are to work for that I am positively looking forward to it. :j :j
As you say, with the hours that they are asking me to work (5pm - 9.30pm) I will have virtually the whole of the day to devote to setting up my business again - only this time I won't be making the same mistakes as before. :rotfl:
You are ALL great - thanks abunch to the greatest bunch of all. :T :TI am NOT, nor do I profess to be, a Qualified Debt Adviser. I have made MANY mistakes and have OFTEN been the unwitting victim of the the shamefull tactics of the Financial Industry.

Well, I spent my 40p on a paper, £9.79 on diesel (monthly budget so that's OK) but got attracted by a demisting pad at Morrisons garage whilst paying for my diesel, which was 49p. Total for today is 89p for my challenge, so not too bad, although I think my 49p will have just pushed me over and I may be red at the weekend :mad:
Anyway, congratulations, rog, on your job, sounds like they were very impressed with you - lets hope this is the start of something really good for you:T[STRIKE]DFW Nerd number 729[/STRIKE]Debt Free & Proud0 -
