    :wave:

    It does seem we've all hit a rough patch at once. I'm so sleepy I nearly hit the Spam button not reply :eek:

    Think I may have found the house I want to live in for the next 30 years of my life. Requested details and did a quick drive by to check no chicken farms / industrial areas next door. Does have quite an ugly bungalow next door but high fence and a few trees could solve that :T

    Shelley - That is so funny hitting the Spam button instead of reply. How lovely that you have found your perfect house!

    Sh - Sorry to hear about the car bill.

    I went upstairs about 10pm and lay on the bed for a few minutes next thing OH is coming to bed and it's midnight. Just off to check my bank account before heading back to bed.

    Morning all!

    6 days till payday and money is running out fast! Will def have to dip into o/d. :( Really need to get this back under control by cutting on something as every extra penny goes towards student loan. Need to start meal planning and generally being much stricter with my food. That is my downfall. I know I can do it as have done it before. 6 days with £6.30. :(

    Hello

    Hope everyone is OK today, sun is shining so that is making me feel brighter.

    Got lots finishing on Ebay later have bids on 3 things so far, one at £8.50 and two at 99p.

    OH was saying this morning that where he works (I used to work there too we met there), he was talking to a woman there and she was saying they are crying out for WP Operators (which is what I used to do there before I left to have DD1), he is going to speak to her later, am hoping that they might have stuff I can do at home or even if I have to go there (would have to be part time) that would be good too. Probably won't work out but there is a bit of hope there and the extra money would be great.

    Got to go and finish DD2's Dragonfly costume now, so will be back later.

    Hope it works out that you can get some extra cash & a bootiful costume!
    I'm very uncreative and would struggle. It makes me think of the Simpsons episode where Homer ends up making Lisa's Florida costume :rotfl::rotfl:
