  • Wow nice one Jen! It's unusual for electricity companies to be giving money back - usually they just take take take. I have just over £700 on the £1000 challenge, just £300 to go :D

    I'm sooooooooo ruddy tired. Went to bed at 4am, was up again at 8am, then went with my mam and nan to make the will (but solicitor wouldn't let me in the room so I went off to Boots), then trailed around shops for 6-hours with my mum. all I bought was 2x 20p bottles of tizer and a carton of ribena for 29p. My nan gave me £20 though which was nice of her :)

    I can't keep my eyes open, they keep closing on their own, hah. I'd go sleep but I have college tonight. It's the exam (finally!) though apparentely it's more like a project so if we don't finish we can do the rest at home. I'm not too worried tbh :S Must be tiredness as stopping me from feeling anxious!

    eta: cleaning makes you feel better, Amy? you can come round and do my house if you like :o:p Hope you're feeling better soon. Seems a lot of people are feeling gloomy, I think it's something to do with xmas looming.

    Oooo good luck tonight CL, you will be fine I'm sure, and if you can take it home with you all the better. xx

    ok maybe I worded it wrong, cleaning doesnt make me feel better as such, but I love the feeling of a nice clean home. And with all clutter put away, it just makes me feel calm. :rotfl: Yep... im weird!!

  • Thanks :)

    I know what you mean about clutter. My room generally reflects my mood - if I have a clear head it's usually very tidy (a rarity!), but if I'm feeling down it tends to be cluttered and messy. I did a quick whizz round yesterday but there's still stuff all over my bedroom floor :S Will definitely be tidying up at the weekend.

    Evening,

    I am grumpy tonight over this BOE interest cut, not gonna be worth me having my ISA if its only 4.25%, might move it over to my Tesco internet saver once i know what the changed rate on that will be, they upped there savings to 6.5% at the last rate change whilst HSBC dropped it so i know they will again. Even if the tesco saver drops its 5% before tax it will still be earning more! :rolleyes:
    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month
