    ive got two hands Shelley LOL plus it was my left elbow and im right handed LOL

    I may have to invest in a taser if it doesnt get any better! LOL


    Sounds sore. Hope you are okay. You sound in much better spirits though. I think the new diary was just the thing you needed!

    Just finished doing my work expenses. I must be more vigilant as I am sure I am missing 1 or 2 things. Anyway it has come to about £200 so delighted with that. It means that we have paid off about £250 off the Oz flights this month so there is about £800 left to go on them. I hope to make £300 from AQA this month, and OH £150 so we should have them paid off by the end of July, and then my signature will start looking a bit healthier again. OH is waiting for his P60 to come through so we might have them paid off before then if the taxback comes through soon.

    OH's CV has been put forward to a number of companies so fingers crossed he should hear something back from some of them.

    We also have booked to view 2 flats on Monday morning so hopefully 1 of them will be nice.

    I love this thread - it goes from no-one posting to tons of posting all in a day.... CAFCgirl hope your elbow heals quick and I agree you are sounding more positive.

    CMD sounds good on the flat hunting and job hunt for OH!

    Shelley - by the time the pox has finished I bet ice lollies against itchy spots (pref still in wrapper) could be right up there with calamine lotion!
