You soon got through that list Penguin..well done.Great on the debt busting as well..it is really surprising how much every payment mounts up

Managed to complete the list yesterday - yeay! and have done a whole load of housework today so all in all a pretty productive weekend!

Have 3 days off work next week and I cant wait. Have to work tomorrow and tues and then a bit of a break - bliss!

Budget looks ok for this month unless I have forgotton something - already forgotton to put council tax on so it likely there is more!

Just a quickie tonight because I want to get some studying in before bed - I am wide awake at the min with losing the hour so will be fit for nothing in the morning no doubt!

Hope everyone is well - see you all soon x x

Hope u enjoy the 3 days off, or is it hit the books.........

Long story, cut short, but finally got into the dentist, and am toothless... only one tooth, but it still hurts, but in a weird way, the pain is better pain that b4.

Back to study 2mor.......... xx

Oh Pingu.... wish it was me with 3 days off this week, but saying that I've got 4 next week!! yay, can't wait except my daughter knows we have lots of housey catching up things to get through so she's already twisting.

I'm a list maker too, but mine seems to get longer with less crossed off every few days. So I've invested in a new notebook to carry round, filling in and crossing off as I go with scheduling in some studying (hehe!!)

Feeling a bit more positive than I did that I wasn't the only one that struggled with TMA02, and yep - Y166 definitely gives you a false sense of hope ;-0

Thats my lunch over, back to packing the office up, home at 4 today and might even pull that dreaded book out of its box..... or more likely a bottle out of the wine rack!!

Evening all - Mum hope your tooth has settled down, Ive had a few back ones removed and you cant tell when you talk or smile and the relief is worth it!

Bexs - I think everyone struggled with that assignment. I actually dreamt about getting my results back the other night and they weren't good! I have started on the next block and it is much more interesting.

Have had a great day off today. Went to weigh in this morning and I have lost 3lbs this week which meant I got my 3 stone award so I am really pleased and nearly halfway to target.

I am loving my time off - Aintree races starts tomorrow so will be watching that and enjoying not being in work for a bit!

Nothing more exciting to report - hope everyone is well x x x

Pingu, you are doing so well with your weight loss! Enjoy the racing.

That is absolutely brilliant with the 3 stone weight loss, congratulations,

Tooth (sounds daft), but feels a lot better.

Hope u pick a winner or 2 with the races...... xx

Great news ...3 stones off .....well done xxxxxxx

Thanks everyone - feeling pleased with the weight loss I am only 2lbs away from being halfway to target too which is pretty encouraging! Had a 'day off' Slimming World today and I feel really ill and bloated now - weird as Ive hardly eaten anything like what I would have done 6 months ago - my appetite must be changing!

Next big thing for me to work on - putting smoking aside for a minute is my diet pepsi addiction - yes you read that right! I drink around 2litres a day - I dread to think what it is doing to my insides. I actually think this is going to be really hard stupid as it sounds as it is the only liquid I drink and I hate water but will force it down somehow! Think I will have one glass of water for every glasss of pepsi to start with and cut it down like that - unless anyone has a better idea?

Racing was good today - 3 winners. Dad gave me £20 to bet with (traditional for the national meeting - £20.00 for each day which he has carried on even though we left home - when we were kids it was a 25p bet we used to have!) and I ended with 46.06 - tried to give dad his £20.00 back but he wouldnt take it so MBNA have got it instead - lets hope tomorrow is as good.

Not much more exciting to report - doing some more studying tonight, will not leave this months assignment till last minute - learnt my lesson for the last one!

Took DD swimming tonight which was nice as I am usually working, she has improved so much and was made up I could go and watch her. DS was given the same mainstream school as DD but he wont be going as he is going to need a special school - felt a bit sad when I got the letter as I would have been over the moon in normal circumstances - silly really its much better for him to be in a special school for now - fingers crossed he gets in, really stressing about that at the min.

Well this has turned into a long ramble - partly because I am avoiding studying and partly because my break from work means I am not completely knackered!

Hope everyones well x x x
