Thank you so much for your words ladies, and sorry I haven't been in and visited your diaries.
Been a little bit lower than I was admitting to anyone but my other half 'caught me' on by birthday and I admitted to him. I had a doctors appointment for Monday to get some happy pills BUT then had fabulous news Thursday/Friday.
I've been struggling to get work. I've had 5-6 interviews and everyone told me that I was beaten to the job by one other person - ie I was always in 2nd place.
Thursday night and agency rung to say there's a long term assignment at the local hospital. I had to shoot over to Brighton to register (in the last few days before payday so had to borrow the train fare from my other halfs parents - that's how bad money is) but it's all done and dusted and I start on Monday.
It may only be temp but there's no end date on the assignment and I'm in the right place to keep an eye open for perm admin or data entry positions.
I've had to cancel the doctors appointment BUT so many of our (my?) problems are money based that most is solved in one fell swoop.
I don't need to pay my consultant anything on Monday as I have enough shakes left for the week, and the child maintenance goes in by the following Monday (which of course I'll replace once I get paid as that is my lad's money) so I can pay for the next month.
i AM going to do this - just been a rough couple of months.
Once again thank you for all your words, and I WILL return the favour when i get a bit longer and visit you all in your diaries.
BTW Debbie, you look amazing. x Just looked at the comments under your pics - looks like we have the same starting size so you pictorial 'timeline' really is a boost for me
