Nik Nak’s Daily Teaser — 6-9-2016

Hmmmm … 

It’s my second day of unemployment … 

And … ?

Well, I’m thinking there’s tons to be doing.

I know that I’ve got — with the little bit of savings I have — to put some money onto my utilities meters: gas and electric, in other words.

And pick up some tinned food.   Stuff that’ll last.

Oh … 

There’s ALSO a couple of places in Brentwood High Street after staff: I’ve myself a remainder to take my CV into them, too.

I can only hope this helps …

Have a good day!

*      Welcome back aboard, Mr Strict!   JUST so you know?   Northumberland Park’s the new super stadium Tottenham are building … !

^        Yes, I know that’s the theory, Angel: but it’s not helped me, these past few months!   I get the impression from the few interview’s I’ve had, that the two weeks notice period KFC wanted, was a big hindrance: and that the interviewers wanted someone to start immediately …
