SO I was checking my credit card statement today (got to pay the bill till my insurance comes through) and I see a charge for £8 for some online shop. I go back a statement, and there it is again.
Apparantly shopperdiscounts and rewards dot com have been charging me £8 a month for quite a while, and I've no idea who they are.
Credit Card company told me what do to, so I call the shopper company, and get told that I signed up for the service when I bought my easy jet flights a while back. huh?
I respond to tell them that I've no idea who they are, and as little as £8 a month is, I can't afford it. The guys tells me he'll cancel it, but still.
I'm do going through my emails and I'm going to try to get that £8 a month back. but i doubt i will.
hmpfh.
next time i buy anything online, I am so double and triple checking everything before I confirm the sale!

pull! pull! pull! pull!
So, my interview is on the 3rd of June.
I have to do a 5 minute presentation, followed by a 10 minute Q&A session and then a 45 minute interview.
I'm excited and nervous at the same time. eeek!
I'm going to do some prep work next week.
Next Friday Daniel and I are off to Oxford to spend the weekend with Dr Oli and Sedj. It should be a good weekend, eating, drinking and chilling with mates. I am looking forward to it.
Today I had a fitting for my wedding dress. I had gotten a corset to go underneath to hold me in. The corset works wonderfully, except now the back of the dress doesn't zip up properly, so it has to be completely altered. Lorraine (the bridal lady) said that it would look really lovely, however I'm worried that it wont be the dress is chose, and that I wont like it anymore. I'm sure it'll be fine, but a bride does stress over these things. my fingers are crossed. my next proper fitting is the 11th July at 10.30, so fingers crossed that I will like the alterations. if I don't then it's just tough really isnt it, cause it's paid for now. right I'm going to stop stressing about this now!
Today I went to Tesco to get some bits for a BBQ we have decided to have this coming BH Monday. :-) can't wait! Whilst at the supermarket I watched someone drop a bottle of Balsamic Vinegar, it made a great sound when it hit the floor and exploded. Made me feel a hell of a lot better after my horrid afternoon, speaking of which, I lost my return part of my train ticket and had to buy a new one. It cost me more to get a new ticket than it did for the whole of my return ticket today. that sucks!
Tomorrow it's the Sevens at Twickers. 2 days of Rugby. should be fun. Daniel has to work tomorrow, but he'll be coming on Sunday.
Tuesday it's the crappy job centre and Wednesday & Thursday, I'll be doing prep work for my interview!
dinner, glass of white merlot and telly box for me tonight, as Daniel is working until 11.

They emailed me yesterday to invite me for an interview!

with all due respect dr. cooper, are you on crack?
so, I went to that job interview.
it sounded ok, not my ideal job, but a job none-the-less.
they said they'd get back to me by last friday, and I'm still waiting. the job starts this coming Monday, so I think it's safe to say I didn't get it.
Thanks so much for letting me know.
sigh
so I tried on wedding dress, it needs a few alterations.
went to Portsmouth on Tuesday, got fitted for a corset, ordered it, it arrived yesterday. fits like a dream
Captain Corelli's Mandolin is a shite film. Its on now, and I started watching it and it's such a load of bollocks. A greek woman who speaks with a Spanish accent and an Italian man who speaks with a very bad american italian accent. fucking awful if you ask me.
I got a call today from a company I went to an interview for at the end of March. The job I applied for was Practice Manager, they never got back to me, then today they call to ask me if I was still interested in the Solicitors job. The woman couldn't understand why I said I wasn't the best candidate for the role, until I pointed out that I was not a solicitor. Clearly they had misfiled my CV and she hasn't read it.
still job hunting, it's boring and labourious. I hate it. I hate going to the job center.
Wedding invitations have been posted, and we've had 2 RSVPs.
it's all coming together.
only 4 months to go.
