    well done on the interview. I found the 60mph hard going on the way there as it seemed to take FOREVER but that might have just been because I was tired and it was the first day back. will still keep trying though, not too bad on the way back cos I had company.

    It is excellent news that you have the interview on Monday - I did get your text but couldn't reply because I was right out of charge :o

    Now, make sure you get some rest in over the next few days so you can give the interview your best shot x

    miz it's for community education kinda the field i work in just now ....well hubby didnt want a bath he wanted to go swimming instead he said his bones felt like they were seizing up and he wanted to get them stretched so we went for a slow leisurely swim and i think it helped him a bit so the spends for yesterday
    £4.60 swimming

    today well i feel shattered for some reason i really am just so tired i think the work at the weekend really didnt help and the fact i couldnt sleep on sunday did me no good whatsoever but todays spends are
    56p for spring onions
    63p mushrooms

    i went into the royal bank and was offered a visa card so i was thinking about stoozing but they dont allow balance transferes for overdrafts etc so i couldnt use it to stooze damb
  • I know how you feel about not sleeping..somedays i am fine and others i feel like a wreck..today is a wreck day, yet everyone keeps telling me how refreshed i look..go figure eh?

    shame about the stoozing...have you looked at other cards? Mbna, or capital one? I think they can be used for overdrafts.

    not sleeping = feeling like a wreck, I can *so* identify, specially in this heat. Sorry the OH is in such pain too, thats nasty, and pretty scary as well actually.
