    Good luck with the interviews. I'm sure it's just a matter of time before you're snapped up by a new employer.

    Hi Blondie, I'm also looking for a job at the mo. I agree £12 is actually small beans and can give you a well deserved boost. I also put weigh on when I first left work. I've lost it now again though, with a bit of help with the slimfast glitch on the boots grabbit thread. Good Luck on your journey.

    Its pretty easy once you get into the swing of it. They give you an area that you can canvass. Have a look on their website.

    OK, had a row with Sparky last night. He calmly informs me his boss has asked him to work away AGAIN and he had to leave in...oh...half an hour!!!!:mad:

    Now i know i shouldnt moan really as we need the money, and hes lucky to have a job to go to but i was SO UPSET. We have been trying to work on our relationship and with him being away all the time its getting more difficult to do as i get angry at him!

    I couldnt sleep last night and felt so low. My eyes were so puffy i had to put cold teaspoons on them!:rotfl: I can laugh now but it was not so funny last night i can tell you!

    Today ive tried to be positive, but its so hard, on the plus side ive sold TEN books today on Amazon! :j And ive had a NSD!:j Ive had to have a weird dinner of quorn sausages, waffles and beans but who cares...and, get this....I WAS GOOD ON MY DIET YESTERDAY AND GREAT TODAY!!!!:beer: :j :D

    Ive got my interview tomorrow for a job, very nervous, trying to prepare. I know i can do the job but its trying to beat all the others who are being interviewed as well. :rolleyes:

    I also have to finish writing a silly statement tonight for another job, which is so far 2 PAGES LONG!!!!! Its so annoying as it take so much time and effort, especially if you dont even get an interview from it!:rolleyes:

    Anyhoo, im glad im on here. Keep swopping in and out to finish this statement thing, but i feel so much better for writing on here. Yesterday i was lying in bed and so so upset i thought i was actually losing my mind, and im not joking, actually losing my mind.

    Right off to have a cup of tea (will log on in 10 mins) and NO IM NOT HAVING ANY MALTED MILKS.

    p/s i weigh 14stone 3lbs..goal for next week...14 stone 0lbs.
