Halloween woes

What a week-end this is going to be! a thirteen hour shift tonight, the first of four. Had the renewal quotes from Swinton for the Astra and the Fusion, the Astra isn't too bad, it's only about twenty quid more. The Fusion? well that has almost doubled to six hundred. Swinton say they have an alternative quote of just over four hundred, I've been on the net and had a quote of three hundred and twenty including protected no claims and excess insurance so if Swinton want to keep both cars they have to come down quite a bit. Still keeping an eye out for another job, most of them are temporary via agencies which I don't really want and the permanent ones are all basic wage. Looking forward to my three days holiday next week, thinking of having a very good drink on my birthday as I've got a FULL fridge of beer LOLOLOLOL. Pauline is very happy with the new system at work as it's given her a 7 am until 2 pm shift today and a few other good shifts. Time to go and get some dinner and think about sandwiches for work.

It's about time!

It's been three weeks since my last blog and I thought it was about time I did another. I have recently applied unsuccessfully for two new jobs, one for Go North East who plainly do not want me as within days of turning me down(for the third time) they place posts at TWO different depots on the Job Centre web site. The other was for a local dairy but I didn't really expect to get that and they did send a very pleasant e mail letting me know I hadn't got the job within hours of applying. So the mind set now is- I'M NOT GETTING THE JOB BECAUSE A)I'M GOING TO WIN THE LOTTERY SOON or B)THE JOB FOR ME HASN'T COME UP YET SO I'M BETTER OFF STAYING WHERE I AM UNTIL IT DOES! Funny thing is I feel quite cheerful since thinking that, I know I'm mad! you don't have to tell me! I'm now skint, had to pay thirty quid for road tax on the Fusion this week (LOLOLOLOLOLOL) next month will be worse the insurance is due on the Astra and the Fusion. All in all life is pretty settled at the moment while we gear up for Xmas shopping madness
