    Hiya MM - Well done on your NSD, loving the cunning plan!

    Well im sooo busy at work today, its doing something that i keep getting interupted from, and so its hard to get back into it (its all about spreadsheets and all sorts).

    Im even thinking I may take it home tonight/tomorrow night so that i can get some of it done. :rolleyes:

    Well my mobile sold on ebay yesterday for £275. :eek: However they havent paid for it yet (they have 300 feedback, all 100%). So im hoping they pay today.

    Meant to be the hottest day of the year today, and im stuck in an office with no air con, dressed all in black :rotfl:

    This work is a nightmare. Its a contractors working outs, put into a spreadsheet by the person who did my job before me and they are all wrong. :confused: So either im doing something wrong or she did majorly. Then i need to do new spreadsheets and input new contractors working outs for our final account.

    And there are over 50 properties. :rotfl: Gonna take me all year i think! ;)

    Its already so hot in this office... feeling very sticky. At least with me walking to and from the station I dont have to suffer the tube. :D

    I emailed him just now and said basically well done, how are you going to pay, you need to at least message me today to let me know, if i dont receive anything by 12pm tomorrow i will 2nd chance offer to someone else. Its only £265, so a loss of £10 which isnt much.

    I really hope he pays... its peeing me off a bit as they did a last second bid so they must of been online. :confused:

    not necessarily might have put a snipe bid on which means they wouldn't have needed to be online. Hope they pay up soon.
    The bit about spreadsheets went right over my head- sounds v complicated, good luck with it!

    Just noticed extrabet on quidco, £25 cashback with a £10 deposit-no tracking statistics yet though so dont know whether to do it or not-and if i do what the &*%$ do i bet on?!!!

    oh well-took a risk and signed up anyway, am betting on a horse race that ends at 3.00pm -will let you know lol!!
    Down to £60 now but if it tracks will be up £15 so i thought it was worth the risk,especially as quidcos tracking procedure seems to have changed for the better now.
    and if i win some cash even better but i doubt it!!!

    Afternoon everyone, I hope people are enjoying the weather!

    I went to the job centre this morning, some things were helpful but I already knew a lot of it. I'm going to get jobseekers allowence to tide me over whilst I'm job hunting. I really, really hope I'm not on in long, I desperately want a job so I can start eroding my debt. I've been trying to answer three question things on an application form for ages because I really want the job I'm applying for and I'm convinced my answers won't be good enough :(. I was shaking a litle bit at the job centre which worries me because they were all really nice and they weren't even asking me questions I couldn't answer *sigh*. They have someone there who helps with interview skills so when I start getting interviews I'm definately going to make use of that.
    Finally bought a home
