    Morning all!

    All that talk of chocolate cake has made me hungry now. Is it wrong to eat some cake at this time of day?

    Lots of tidying to do today or Santa will have nowhere to put the christmas pressies!

    Have a good day everyone x x

    Keren, if buying a chocolate cake for just the two of you was such an issue, I would....out of the sheer goodness of my heart......have come round and shared it with you.

    I am soooo selfless...... :A :)

    Morning all. Feel a bit bad today as not seeing the g/f so watching Jimmy Carr.

    We went to see Jimmy Carr live a few weeks ago HBFS - he was REALLY funny - even funnier than I expected!

    Ah, I'd love to see that! I've just got the DVD!

    I saw Jerry Sadowitz last weekend. That was possibly the most wrong fun I've ever had! :rotfl:

  • ooooooooooooh, I've got a job interview!:j I applied for a part time 8 month fixed contract Project Admin job at the local FE college and I've got an interview on 3 Jan!

    I'm really pleased. It's mad really as the salary is tiny in comparison to the money I earned when I was made redundant, but if I can do the hours in the mornings, it will be perfect as I can then do AQA in the afternoons and it might mean I can cut down to 6 days a week working, maybe have Sundays off! :T As long as I have the money in the bank to pay the bills and put food on the table, I'm happy and I have to be realisitic and admit that AQA isn't a full time viable option as it means working 7 days a week.

    It will be scary though - I took a huge bashing in my old job (for those that know what happened ;) ) and it wiped out all my self belief work wise, I've hidden away doing AQA since I was made redundant in May.

    It's less than 5 minutes drive away as well.

    Good news Keren. I won't keep my fingers crossed between now and then because it means using a corkscrew and opening presents is more difficult, but will cross them well and truly on the day xx
