Moving forward and upwards

doingitanyway

Your tea sounds nice as usual.

Really good to come back here and see you have prioritised your health and you are moving on, or movingforwards to be more accurate. Good luck on  the suit search. A good suit will give you even more confidence on the day.

Enjoy your weekend.

Thanks DIA, it's good to see you posting again 😊

I've tried to resist using my forum name, but with each new direction it shows I picked well 🤭

I'm watching a few bags, same brand as my shoes. Haven't yet found a suit jacket on 3bay but thought of a few other shops to try. 
- I'm trying to create a £1k look on under £100. Everything has to be perfect for the big ones.

Tomorrow I must do some webinars, reading and do more interview prep but the technical side.

All my books have been posted and I can make a start reading them when they arrive.

Sounds really exciting. Good luck with your suit mission

Ooooer i like the sound of this.  New clothes and SHOES (dream) too! Hurrah. You are moving onwards and upwards MF. 

MovingForwards

Thanks SH and SW

I don't want to get too many bits, just in case I end up in a smaller place. For now I'm targeting the big ones. Aim high and all that 😊

Gotta love aiming high

Experience from the top opens up many doors. It's hard go the other way as people tend to get stuck at the same level of company. What I don't want to do is target the middle ones and kick myself for not at least trying for better.

We went to T today and TomBo has been batch cooking. Just needs the sides cooking each night eg rice, pasta, spuds. 

I've had a look round the garden and may be picking some squash this week. 

I managed to get a few snazzy things ordered including a bag the same brand as my shoes, submitted offers for a few other things and I'm watching a few suits. I've got £70 left to pull this expensive look off and will see if I can find something while I'm out tomorrow.

Having steak and homemade chunky oven chips.

Edit to add: first suit won, leaves £60 in the budget.

Glad you got your posh suit.

Batch cooking sounds positive too. I'm planning roast chicken dinner for later for me and DD

Well done on suit. Bargain. I do most clothes shopping on fleabay and it saves me so much. However i am not allowed to buy any clothes now as i bought loads over the summer. 

MovingForwards

Thank you SH and SW

I'm waiting to bid on another suit and had an offer accepted on one. 

I've been outbid on some stuff, had offers rejected on some and rejected counter offers on some too.

The postie is going to despise me over the next 2 weeks as he delivers everything!

RRPs over £650, spent £83 + p&p; got 2x suits, designer footwear and bags, plus fancy watches. I'm expecting the RRP to rise to about £750 and to spend about another £15 including p&p on one more suit.

I will look the part at interviews, which is half the battle 🤗
