    I'm sure the interview won't mess up Christmas, it'll add more excitment and give you a reason to do less as, of course, you're studying
    Currently studying for a Diploma - wish me luck :)

  • Well done on the interview PO. I know you'll give it your best shot now - so remember to balance your time spent studying with plenty of relaxation over Christmas and New year. How do and and OH intend to spend the holiday? Is he going to be introduced to our customs and traditions or are you going to "bridge the cultural gap" as it were? However you do it - have a good one!

    Hi All and Happy 2009...

    So with renewed enthusiasm, PO goes onward....... I am making a (small) OP today £26.37 from a random cheque I received from Santander. It's a start - will hopefully be working up to greater things as the month/year goes on.

    My total for 2008 remained at £1666 for obvious reasons - hoping that OH will manage to get a job as soon as he is allowed although acknowledge that this might not be the best time in UK history to be trying.

    My job interview is a week today, but I have so far done nothing to prepare - the festive season seems to have been hectic and I don't know where the time has gone. Will make a concerted effort over the weekend.

    Anyway - New Year will hopefully kick-start me into focussing on the mortgage again - it's gone down again this month so that's good too.

    Hope all is well with all of you,

    PO xx
