    Well done on interview :j .

    You've increased your chances of getting the job no end by actually applying for it ;) , and the interview practice will be great, especially with 2nd application in mind, so it's a win/win situation :T
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    travel expenses for april are going to be £111, so that's going to be my june overpayment - not as bad as i thought!!

    battling a bit about whether to go see OH for 2 or 3 weeks in the summer - can't really afford 3 but miss him sooooo bad. think it's only going to be 2 in reality.

    maybe if i get the other job i could go again at the end of august for a few days.............that's not very likely though!

    Having a not very positive day today....losing (already limited) confidence fast.

    Have found out they're interviewing 8 on Thursday for one job, and three of them are men, which shouldn't make any difference, but we all know sometimes it can do, and on top of that have had a bit of a down thing happen at work too, so they'll never bl00dy appoint me anyway. can't really explain it, but as you know the customer is always right, even when they're wrong, and i happened to be one of the people on the case.

    Thanks SMF - am much more focussed today - I had a really positive day, made me really realise what it's all about.

    Hoping for a focussed weekend too - no spend, and lots of swotting up for the interview.

    And sleeeeeeeeeeep I hope, hasn't been great lately!
