    I know but its rented so not keen on drilling things into wall any way!

    The lease is very strict - we're not allowed to hang washing on the balconies either or leave rubbish by front door. My next but one neighbour is on their "final warning"

    What did you review? Beans :rotfl:

    Watching the French open with everything crossed that Federer wins as he's such a wonderful player and a nice man too!

    What is it about watching that makes me keen to dust off my racket and get on court even though I can't play for toffee :confused:

    Hello all!

    I had a lovely weekend with bf and on the beach, Sunday was sunny and warm and no rain, at least not on the beach from 12-5 :p.

    5.5 days to go till payday and I have absolutely no money left, well, not from this months budget anyway...It was the £60 extra for training that's taken me in my overdraft first time in months! I'll just try to keep really low profile till Monday.

    Going to cinema tonight, but that's with a free ticket.And as long as I have enough petrol to go down to the beach couple of times this week, it only comes down to eating...nothing...till Monday.Surely that's manageble??? :o

    I'm hoping my new dongle has arrived today, it was dispatched on Saturday so I might get lucky. Fingers crossed, for it to arrive and to work.

    Hope everyone's well. :)

    Hi CAFC - Just read your diary and I am so sorry to hear you have been unwell, I hope that you are better soon and that you can take it easy for a few days.

    No money saving/extra payments here, in fact, I'm overdrawn for the first time in like 12+ years, I'm so upset about it, I've had occasions where I've had about £20 in the bank and then have had CTC or Child Benefit going in or Paypal money but not this time, am £10.35 overdrawn - not a lot I know but when my Paypal money goes in tomorrow I might not have enough to cover my latest credit card bill - bummer!

    I'm contemplating selling my car (it's the only thing I have that is worth anything). The road tax is due at the end of July and I'm going to my parents on 22nd July so when I come back I will think about selling it, it means I would have to walk to the school which is about 20-25 mins away but I just can't afford to run it at the moment, it's costing between £10-15 a week in Diesel.

    Am so fed up today, OH's mum still owes him about £10k and it would make things so much easier but we have to wait for her to sell one of her houses and knowing her it will take forever.

    awww TMD hun that sucks.....

    Could you downsize your car maybe? or get a bike?
    DH is going to be giving his car back when we've paid up to the 50% mark, and then we'll just have to cope with it really....

    Has your oh's mum got her house on the market, does she have anything she can give to you, like a monthly option till it sells?

    i know how pants it is when u feel really cr&p with it all, is there anything you can do like go for a run or something to help pound out the stress? I find a run or mixing a cake is usually good, get the blood pumping etc

    Big hugs to you hunny
