    :A Well done honey :A

    I think that's blimmin' brilliant - especially as you've had to jump through so many hoops to make it happen.

    *sets sky + for Pays To Watch just so I can nudge hubby and say "Doesn't our IA look good on't telly!"*

    Martin'll be giving you your own segment next!

    Nice work chick - good on ya!

    Hi, good for you.

    Thinking of music yesterday when I was doing our company accounts and came across the Manic Street Preachers first album, Generation Terrorists....track 2 is Nat West-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds...written in 1992 but what's changed....

    "Economic forecasts soothe our dereliction
    Words of euthanasia, apathy of sick routine
    Carried away with useless advertising dreams
    Blinding children, life as autonotomes

    NatWest, NatWest-Barclays-Midlands-Lloyds
    Blackhorse apocalypse
    Death sanitised through credit

    Barclays iron eagle, "33 injection"
    Sold to advertiser, computer execution line
    They give then take away, repossess and crucify
    The more you own the more you are, lonelier with cheap desire"

    good luck with the career...sounds interesting and I can't help feeling there'll be a huge job market opening up over the next 12 to 18 months...

    :wave: LOVE that song! I'll have to go and play it now. :T

    Love Jacks xxx :D

    Sky+ set too!

    My god. I dropped off MSE for a while and although I have been posting a bit on the BR forums for the last few months (that was my route) I haven't really followed your posts IA since your Run for Life last year (Really - that long ago!)

    All I can say is WOW.

    I toyed with the idea of doing something similar, but I just toyed. You have actually gone out and done it! Well done. And best of luck. I hope it works out for you.
  • Evening all. :D got in just before 6 but have been sorting the girls out/nosing at Snag's £50 bin confession.. lol

    The CAB was just brilliant. Got loads to work through and thurs morning I'm going to observe one of the others in the morning before going in to the bureau in the afternoon. A lot to take in at first but loved every minute of it. also got to chat with the Debt specialist who's already there.
    Really feeling positive for the future..

    When I dropped the girls off at nursery they cried as soon as I walked through the door with them.. but when I picked them up it was a different story... Ash's face was literally BEAMING and she was playing on the computer with her new friend. K was still a bit wary and cried a bit when she saw me but they said she'd been fine, especially as it was her first day.

    All in all... a great day :D

    Ste and I are actually toying with the idea of not going to the gig on weds. We'd love to go.. and we've already got tickets.. but it would be a lot of money (£13 just on trains not to mention drinks) AND we both want to see IPTW... Will see what happens though.. going to have another chat about it in a bit.
