Sorry to hear it sounds like you didn't get an interview trailing.
I applied for a job with a similar closing date and thought i had a good chance but i've heard nothing either
Hopefully something else will come up for you...

Evening all.
Another 12 hour shift in. 2 to go.
Today:
Work all day so not much to report. All meals from stores and the cupboard and fridge are starting to look bare. This is good. Almost everything used and very little waste before shopping later this week.
Checked online banking and updated spreadsheet.
Refund from O2 finally in the bank :j need to decide whether to pay towards debt or too up emergency fund. Nicer problems...
Feet up in front of the football later.
ANOTHER Nsd :j:j

Hello :hello:
Thanks for the starter this week Ally - hope you're ok after your eventful weekend.
I have had another minor upset with my ex, which has led to a sleepless night and more anxiety. Admittedly I started the latest argument, but I was too upset that he'd let the kids down again over the weekend and I couldn't keep my mouth shut any more.
Sleepless night = unproductive day so I've basically survived. Came home early from work and hoping for an early night tonight. I feel as though I've forgotten to do something because I think I'm done for the night apart from relaxing.
Managed a nsd and used stuff from the freezer for dinner. House is clean ish for the moment and I'm just plodding on as usual. Think I might just get on with a bit of crochet for a while - that'll calm me down.Not giving up
Working hard to pay off my debt
Time to take back control

Evening all
Hope you've had a peaceful evening CCL
I've paid my council tax; put in my invoice for some self employment; done a SB survey (keep getting rejected though?? ) and an I-say survey; eaten from stores and kept the heating off.

Updated food spends sheet
Cancel fruit box for next week whilst we catch up
Something out of freezer for tea
Make 2 x packed lunch. I’m getting treated at work
Hot drink for commute
Decide whether to complain about some appalling service yesterday in a pharmacy which will now have to result in me going into town another day this week (when I’m working over an hour away each day) just because they are incompetent and didn’t do what they said they would do and just kept telling me ‘the computer says....’ :mad:
Track food
