Thanks @Newstartforme I don't want to get ahead of myself but it did seemed to go well, wowser will I celebrate if I get the job! I will be well chuffed, however there is a second interview to contend with but it looks to be a meet and greet more then interview, just to make sure I get on with the rest of the AP team etc. Although I guess another applicant may be invited? so a chance to really show off! I need an ounce and half of luck!
JC appointment went as expected, they were happy with me, and what I have been doing.
Prolific is up to £11.37 I will cash out at the end of the day and add it to the total, pending is also good too at £15.53. The rest of the afternoon I'll see if I can hit the £15.00 barrier before the day is out and then cash in and add to signature total. And then work out how far ahead I am or what I need to make per day!
I hope you have a restful eveningXX

Not yet! but they did say they wanted the new person to start sooner then later, so I shouldn't think it will be too far away. Thanks.dawnybabes said:Did they give an indication when you’d do the 2nd interview ? Aarrggghhh more waiting !Missions for the rest of the year:-

Thanks Redlipstick this morning I feel somewhat lacking positivity, at least I have other irons in the fire so to speak.RedLipstick said:Sounds good! Fingers crossed it goes well! x
Today I am taking MD and SFD for a trip out, get hair done for SFD and MD will get a chance to visit Mr. M&S. I will earn £20 taking them out, then I also may do their nails and earn another £20! Also I have a £5.00 voucher which I may actually spend on myself or not and get the cash back! so today should be profitable. I should see a real difference to my total.
But for the first part of the day I will hopefully get a few surveys!Missions for the rest of the year:-

I now have three scheduled calls tomorrow about three different jobs! All with potential, the first perm and very interesting role, a little advanced I am quite keen, I just hope when I go for the screening call that they offer hybrid two days in the office as it is a bit far away, they did say hybrid so fingers crossed. The second is a temp role however it is fully remote AP and 12 months, although it is a bit less pay I would quite like to work remotely. And lastly the last role is temp also 2 days in the office and using Netsuite Oracle which I love, and it is for 6 months with a potential to increase with time. My Favourite is still the job I went for yesterday as it is a stable and busy company - I would be quite keen for this.
Today I have earnt £20 for clipping toe nails, £5 for sorting sock drawer, £30 For fuel taking SFD to barber and M&S and I have been asked by MD at a later day in the week to complete the filing for £20.00 I have a £5 voucher, I await a £10 voucher and plus I am soon to have another £5 voucher. Todays total is £146.36, as I actually got fuel with the fuel money. So I am up to 56% and we are part way through second week out of roughly 7 so I am well and truly on target. Prolific has been good today I received £12.79 today and I have £12.58 pending still.
I have to say I am not feeling great I have a lot of tension I am wondering if it is having three phone calls tomorrow!?Missions for the rest of the year:-

Well done on all your focus on getting a new job - I am sure one will pan outDON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff. Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

I have had all my planned chats/screening interviews and a few extra...I currently have one interview lined up as a result from today, I await to here about one of the others. I am still waiting regarding interview on Tuesday, I could hear tomorrow or next week now. But there are definetely a few irons in the fire so to speak.
As for finances today I have dipped into the pot and not replenished, there is still time, Prolific is currently at £5.79 with £14.63 pending, I need £6.00 to cash out. I spent £5.75 last night which is yet to show on my credit card bill and £13.30 today which has and I have paid for. The pot currently stands at £133.06 with potential to go down another £5.75. My vouchers are intact which I was planning to use but I couldn't because of a security breach, so I spent money which I felt was needed as I felt uncomfortable, I will try harder going forward I just felt cold and hungry all the time I know I need to do better then this, but it is not the end of the world, I was ahead anyhow, I'll update signature later depending on prolific status.
I really need to do some chores so a to do list is needed...sorry for the boring read!
1) Do Bins
2) hoover
3) clean bathroom
4) Mop
5) put washing on
6) Job search
Sometime later...I am still climbing with prolific reaching £11.42 and £12.98 pending, I am going to try and hold out until I reach £13.30 the cost of today, if all else fails it is not a bad score for today, I just wish I hadn't spent money!
