1) tidy

2) dust living room.

3) clean dining table and make good.

4) make desk look minimalist.

5) make top of chest of drawers look minamalist.

6) clean bathroom floor

7) put bag with bits in in the car to take to charity shop.

8) Clean kitchen surfaces, deep clean.

9) Clean fridge freezer and make space.

10) wipe bins

11) put rotten squeegee in the bin as it starting to smell. - I will cover in mould cleaner instead!

12) hoover again.

13) review and decide what next if anything.

Sometime later....

I have done enough for tonight the place is almost sparkling, not quite but close! 

The new potential lodger is coming tomorrow between 2-5pm, fingers crossed!

I think tomorrow I will:-

1) get up at circa 8am

2) eat and get dressed.

3) attend phone interview @10am

4) make sure everything in order before popping to MDs.

5) come back have lunch

6) do a little job search 

7) wait for potential new lodger, wear something nice also!

8) R&R!

Potential new lodger has been, I did feel a bit of stress when I met him, I am not sure why exactly. He came across well when I spoke with him and he seemed quite nice. I haven't taken a shine to him like the last lodger, but he would make good company still. He worries I wouldn't like taking the smaller room, but I don't think I will. Time will tell. I am having unwanted furnituire collected tomorrow, after that I will move the furniture from the smaller room to the living room, then on Monday Carpenter comes, then when he is gone and room finished I will start moving into the smaller room, and re-design the master room.

I am worried about what the tension was that I felt I still feel it now and again now, are there any clairvoyants out there that can undertsand what the energy is, it feel like a bad energy. I think it is a bad sign, I don't think I am going to have him here. That is decided. I am sure there will be other interested parties, I don't think it is a good fit. Unless someone can enlighten me?

Sometime later...The tension has gone, I feel better, he is not coming!

Today I almost had my first no spend day except for buying a renewal for computer software this morning, unfortunetely because I didn't budget for it I decided to keep it as a spendy day. However I have not bought food today which I must keep sticking to and I have not spent on anything else, a new theme is going to happen here - No spend!

Tomorrow I will be in for most of the day (I think) waiting for the furniture to be collected, I am sure it will happen in the am or close to it, I doubt they will be out all day - but who knows. Well at least the place is spotless so I will be able to concentrate on writing incidently I wrote 3500 words the other day on a new story, I am up to 7500 words altogether, and I have enjoyed writing it. I prefer to write in the afternoon, but it is too late now plus I am hot and bothered a little, but I am thinking I will write tomorrow while I wait for the furniture to be picked up.

I have had a test today for a job, I am not sure how I faired, I did do a bit of practice, but we will see, hopefully I got the eye for detail part sussed as I like to say I am good at that! Also I have been invited for a second interview for one of the roles that I am in the running for they said they quite liked my responses in interview first time around, that is on Friday so something is going to happen soon I am sure of it.

I am also thinking that I will stay in the bigger room if I get a job, and just re-lay the smaller room so that it is a lot better quality and smarter, I had thought that I would be okay with the smaller room, but then I felt that actually I wouldn't especially today when I met that man. which means I can return quite a lot of the stuff, the bedding, the curtain, the other bedding and the duvet so quite a a bit to come back on the credit card, I think I will hand deliver it to the shop for speed. I feel a bit bad about this that I wasted their time, but you don't know until you know. I may keep one lot of bedding, for the smaller room, if it has a nice feel?

Today I have almost been sensible with food not Slimming world friendly I had a bowl of cereal for brekkie, lunch I had a mozzarella and tomato on toast and dinner I had bean and sausages on toast, I have had one ice cream also. I know that doesn't sound like a diet food, but it wasn't erratic, it was just food , no take out no junk food just food! So I feel like today is about taking back control, of a bad situation.

I do have a good feeling about the job I got the second interview for, they actually said I interviewed well, I think I interview well when it is the right role, potentially? Who knows maybe I just felt more relaxed and I had the right conditions. But lets see what comes through. Have a lovely Evening AllXX

I am glad you haven’t taken a shine to the potential new lodger.

I know I shouldn't think like that @beanielou I just don't want to end up in the same situation as last time, I want to think of the new room mate as a friend ideally not anything more! Anyhow the point is moot as he is not coming!

It has been hot, hot, hot!

Today the chairty collected the furniture that was unwanted, and now I have a clear run at making changes to the room. I have already moved the furniture out of the smaller room. And just as I had done that someone then messaged me about the room, I am waiting to see when he wants to view, I have said better after Monday, so we will see, he just stopped messaging...unsure why exactly he didn't say.

I have been having second thoughts about the cupboard, but no the man is booked and it would be better if it was done, the room would be improved and it is something I have always wanted to do since it is now a bedroom. It makes so much more sense, I am just apprehensive about the outcome - but I deliberately got a professional, I am sure it will be fine.

Tomorrow I have a second interview, my mums cleaner said that I should just get a job then worry about what I would like to do after, as I was apprehensive about the job as it is something I can do sure, but I really wanted to get into Credit Control again whereas this is AP. And I think that is what I needed to hear. I don't like messing anyone about but I really need to get a job and soon - I need money and it is a dog eat dog world out there!

On saying that how will I attend interviews etc and i'll be getting experience in a role that is unsuitable but if it is the only role that I can get then I probably should go for it, I just seem to be getting further away from my dream job role which is management accountant, But I can't live on state benefits for life and there are many positives to this role, I just need to open my eyes and get the darn job! I am sick of never having money and needing money from parents, I really would have hoped that I would be self sufficient by now! 

saying that when I have worked in the past I often fritter away cash, and whenever I feel close to getting a job I go spending, I just feel like always lose control it is like I have demons that come out to play and take whatever they can get. I am sure I can make headway again I just need to believe in myself, I do find the summer months particularly hard, I don't know whether it is the heat or my mentality, I just fritter fritter fritter.

Saying that I need to get a plan in place to prevent frittering, but first get a job!

Hope interview goes well for you x

Thanks @Newstartforme I appreciate it. It did seem to go sort of okay except the senior member asking what I have been doing I said that I had been writing (as well as search for jobs) she seemed happy with that but I felt a bit of negative energy from her. So I am not sure. She seemed to think I had been sunning myself, even though I don't have a tan! I'll find out next week. However I have done one very positive thing today - I have sent on the glowing reference to the recruiter, and my senior who wrote it also emailed it on to the recruiter at his request. So at least I have one very positive backing which reminds me I must: I'll write it now to remind myself look into interconnected spreadsheets on you tube as this was the reason for not getting the job initially, so if I can find a way of sussing them out I would be in their very good books - It means more money and I could go without a lodger if I should choose it, although it would be wiser to try and find someone.

I am still frittering I have spent money on snacks, admittedly I had a bad experience with Ebay so I decided I needed a treat also MD is treating us to Fish & Chips tonight which I am getting hungry for! But without a job I must try and get my ducks in a row and get into a better position. Thanks to MD and SFD I don't know what would have happened to me had they not been there. When I am busy working I am at my most happiest as I like to have something to do and keep busy and have a focus, I don't get why I am not getting any of these jobs!

Ohh and that reminds me I must have failed in the test they gave me because I didn't get the interview they rejected me. However MD and I both said you just need common sense to do the job which I have an abundance of, they are obviously not looking for the right type of talent. Credit control is not doctoring in the slightest - honest Crazy!! I feel snubbed by that test fail, at the end of the day if I had a load of practice (I did all I could find) if I bought a book and studied maybe I would have done better, but my qualifications show a certain level of attainment, do they want an actual doctor to be able to become a credit controller? The world has gone nuts!

I realise I am a broken record with regards spending, I keep saying I am not going to do it then I do it. It doesn't help that I don't like any food I have in, well I do actually. Tomorrow let me plan it:-

1) brekkie bowl of cereal, 2) lunch chilli and cheese sarnie, 3) dinner pizza. I always get hungry, I could consider making a cake as I haven't for a while and I need something to take the edge off! Crazy just have toast and marmite!

I have 4 no spend days and tomorrow I am aiming for the 5th day and a new emoji...I really want this so I must try!

I am looking forward to Monday and the cupboard re-structuring..Yippee!
