To trade in 3 games, I can get £38 towards Kingdom Hearts 3 on Xbox, which is £50 so I'd just pay the £12 difference.
Better than the half price for trading in Crash N Sane trilogy towards it at Game for half price, and CEX generally do better prices than Game most of the time anyway.
3 games...
Meh, doing a Blog entry because people complain about me "spamming" the employment section.
Applied to Burton's, the clothes shop in Meadowhall, and also the VUE Cinema in Meadowhall, for part time work.
Hopefully I'll get interviews for at least one of 'em.
Above.
Just got to entertain myself this weekend playing Xbox and watching YouTube content.
I also need to ring Sky up at some point because I don't have access to my My Sky account because I lost the log in details and can't retrieve them because I can't remember the email account it's...
Busy week this week, went food shopping to Tesco on Monday and bought stuff I needed, and then on Tuesday afternoon we stayed in because it was raining.
Wednesday morning I went for a meeting at College with a view to packing in the maths course, but they persuaded me to stay on, I'm possibly...
So I sent off my Niece's birthday gift to London, England yesterday, she's 8 next week, bought a small toy from Argos, worth a tenner, and because of the long box, they wouldn't send it Royal Mail so I had to use Parcel Force signed for service, which would be a pain in the ass for my Brother...
Well apart from this morning when the carer didn't turn up till gone 11 because they were under the mistaken impression that Mum had cancelled, wrong! She would've told me, anyway they gave me a shave when they finally turned up, even though it was nearly lunch time and too late to have a bath...
These people just don't know how to communicate!
We've had 2 meetings last week and yesterday morning with someone from a new care company that they said was taking over my morning care allegedly from next week, anyway the social worker rang Mum up yesterday. and said the new company were...
Bought this week's issue this afternoon and the cover price has gone up from 57 p to 62! Only saving grace is that I checked the price of all the others and TV Choice is still the cheapest out of all of them so it's not that bad value.
Until they put it up by another 5 p next year probably.
Did my Martial Arts grading yesterday tea time, I made about 2 mistakes, went in left stance when I should've been in right and vice versa, but other than that I thought I did OK.
Anyway I've been to training tonight and guess what? I PASSED!
Yay! Go me!
Topic.
Applied online via a link on an email I got from an employment website, I kind of know where the place is in s4, somewhere between Page Hall and Attercliffe.
The money's not bad for part time work, from about £9 to £14, but to earn 14 quid an hour means realistically I can only work...
So I was on a bit of a mission this afternoon in Town, had to collect something from the central Post Office which I ordered on eBay last week, and then collect a battery charger from Argos which I ordered yesterday, and I also wanted to call in CEX and see if I could trade in 3 games towards a...
And other rants.
Seriously, they want to take away the care company who get me up most mornings and help me to run a Bath and get ready and stuff because the company are "too expensive" and are no longer on the Social services' books! Not being funny but they knew the company in question were...
So I had a bid going on eBay for £32 for Soul Calibur 6 on Xbox, I was winning right up to literally 5 seconds left of the bid, eh?
Annoying when people wait till literally the last second to outbid me!
In better news, I have a trial day booked volunteering at the new Sue Ryder Charity shop on...
Topic.
Applied to the one in Town last night, bit awkward to get to as it's just on the Parkway, I don't think it's on the Tram route, well I suppose I could get off at Nunnery Square and walk through the car park.
Plus I have those 2 interviews this week tomorrow and Tuesday.
Topic.
Had an email today based on an online application on Indeed.co.uk a few weeks back, if the phone interview is successful, I will be invited to a face to face interview at the shop.
IMO this one might be more suitable than the Sorting Office job I'm interviewing for next week, as I have...
Christmas temp work part time at Jessop's Camera shop in Meadowhall, and part time work at a local Petrol Station (it says the post code for it is s3, I doubt I'd get much more local!).
Indeed is the best website ever (apart from this one of course! :D)
Topic.
Just confirmed the interview by email for the Tuesday after next at 10 AM at First Post House, Brightside Lane at 10 AM. If it's where I think it is, I'll need a lift or a Taxi there because it's not on the Tram route between Town and Meadowhall.
Anyway! Go me! I have an interview for a...
With Three.
Not too shabby, £17 a month for "All You Can Eat" minutes and texts and 30 Gig data.
Only thing is I've been with Three before and I don't think they have UK call centres, but hopefully I won't have to ring them until about this time next year to give 30 days notice if need be...
So I applied to ASDA (Walmart to the Americans) this Wednesday, and yesterday I got an email saying they weren't taking my application further, sorry but I cannot workevenings or nights, especially not in the Chav infested s5.
I also got an email this morning from WH Smith's, "after careful...
Topic.
Applied on their website for "ambient" (whatever that is?) customer service work at the Chaucer Road store, bit awkward to get to but I know where it is, it's near where I do my Digital Arts course on Thursday mornings.
Don't worry, I won't disclose my opinion that Parson Cross is full...
