So after my car got broken into a couple of weeks ago - I finally replaced the sat nav accessories that got nicked (literally yesterday afternoon).

Number of days worked this year (since September) now increases to 7 (I think ( Read more... )

Did the thing I've been putting off doing - I've struggled along on savings and then thin air since July ( Read more... )

So I went to register with another agency yesterday - I was actually quite impressed with the guy, he seems very pro-active in ringing schools up, knew which schools locally were recruiting for temp contracts, said he'd probably have me out and working in a couple of weeks - but they all promise you the earth and then don't deliver ( Read more... )
