Hey guys
Yesterday went well they said they'd get back to me in a few weeks let them investigate my claims.
El seen anymore courses?Isn't the knowledge that comes from experience more valuable than the knowledge that doesn't?0 -
well it's funny that you mention it rich ...
right uni first ...the course that seems the most appropriate is a tue,wd and thursday morning doable if i am night shift if i pack job no2 in (which i wanted to do remember) now it doesnt start till sep so i have till then to get back on my feet with hubbys illness etc so that i can afford it i have till then to sort my finances out and that's what i am going to do ...get them sorted once and for all
ever since i was a child i wanted to go to uni i had the intelligence i just didnt have the support and now is my time ...so i have done my statement showed it to a few people and the general concensus is that it is good i just need a referance from my employer this might prove difficult i know she will give me one it might just take a year to get it and the person in my other job (job no2) really isnt up to the standard i wish to produce (not meaning that to sound nasty) so i am thinking (and a friend offered) to get a friedn to do me one it is a last resort though as i would really like to get one from my employer but either way i am going to send away my ucas application form this week now i have missed the initial intake and it might be too late but i wont know if i dont try ...
on other news i did sit down and figure out the finances where they had gone etc and i will give you a run down when i find the paper ...
i am thinking of turning this into a kinda spending diary as well i have seen it done and it seems to work for some people so if i am to sucessfully go to uni i need to get a grip with finances ...
so the old foot up the butts etc will be welcome0 -
well i have just had a phone call from someone in job no2 ...apparently we are being made redundant on august 15th so there you go no choice now it's happening whether i want it to or not one part of me is happy cause i have been wanting to leave i havnt been happy for a while now working there ...but one part of me is going yikes i cant afford it we will struggle ...i spose ultimately it means that i really need to get on top of the finances0

Ooh, El, sorry its an actual redundancy notice - leaving is quite a different feeling from being pushed. But Z is right, you are too, it might really help yo focus. Take care xx2023: the year I get to buy a car0

El, it is a positive - redundancy from job number two is what you needed, really.
You CAN do this and you WILL do this.

Well El i think this is karma..If it is meant to be then it will be, everything rearranging itself so you can realise your dreams..now go out and grab them..the dreams that is!Blackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?

to be honest i think if i wasnt pushed i would never have left there it is easy money (even though i dont like it) i am quite happy but worried as well ...but it means i need to stop faffing about now and thats a good thing
i just opend my mail and learned that someome has purchased a cam corder in hubbys name so now i need to look at his credit rating and see if anything else has been purchased ...it's really just what i dont need just now...0
