  • Good luck on the weeks objectives. Shame about the ex but like taxi said at least you found quickly. Ref writing an assignment try the little and often approch. Just one or two hours to start. Once you start you will probablyget into it. I do it just takes me an age to start!

    Men, I can not believe them, yes my beloved ex....... got an email from him, with file attached, so thought its one of the jokey ones, opened it, and its a pic of him with his gfs grandchildren...........why the heck I needed to see it, god knows......where is his brains.
    Was tempted to tell him where to stick it, but am too much of a lady.
    Thou have to admit (with a very big smile), that time has not been on his favour....... xx

    I'm on no spend day no 9, thats brilliant going for me.

    Still got nose in books, started off on Monday, 2 1/2 weeks behind, but have been catching up, so by 2mor should just be week behind.

    Still debt busting, got a wack of dds clothes to go on ebay, so thats task for next week,,,,, even if I make a few quid it all helps out.

    May break the no spend rule 2mor for a euro millions ticket..... it is a roll over... xx
