Haveing a clear out on ebay, very mixed sales, weird, in Feb, dds swimming costumes, bikinis were flying out now weve sold 1 out of 10. Next plan, put all summer stuff in bag, and go on Feb time, sounds mad but it works.

DD be plzed sold her camera for £13.00, so shes gets some more money.

One more week left at school, so exicted, taking her to see the dancers that are like cirque de solei dancers in Las Vegas, then next week were off to see Beauty and The Beast.

For the 1st time since Feb, am up to date with OU work, aim to get 3 weeks worth over the next 2 weeks.

Feeling quite positive, just finished off income v ideal outgoings, inc saving for car ins, half the AA membership and I'm short £20 per month, so a few tweaks can do it.

Def on par to get 5k paid off by the end of the yr, which be fab, as loan starts August, so every payment, be one less. Get there eventually.

I've just filled in all paperwork for next OU course doing B203 another business course that starts Sept, so got 2 month overlap, but get there.

Next week, gut the bedroom, its apigsty, only becoz everything just gets dumped in there, brought a set of round boxes, that decrease in size, and a set of playboy stationary boxes, so will get sorted.

Hi Mum, glad things seem to be going well for you and you are on course for your end of year target.

Well done to your daughter for her report. We had DD's too which was really good although it did say she had to listen more in class - if something doesnt interest her she just switches off, need to figure out a way around that!

Good news as well on being on target with the OU stuff, I am about 10 days behind which is a nightmare with the schedule being so tight.

When do you get Bailey? x x

Can you not get an extension with OU, the tutors can grant upto 7 days with no probs, thou they don't volunteer the info.
Get Bailey the 1st Week of Aug, weve got, 2 weeks Blackpool (help!!), so family outing 1st week, then mum + dad coming back, and picking up Bailey, so he can settle in a bit before we come home, then away again end of Aug, so the breeder haveing him back.

So exicted, bet hes grown tons, the only thing I can really remember hes got a tiny tail and his one ear hes got a little white V.

DD so exicted, guess we all are.

Your DD report sounded good, dont all children have selective deafness in classes.......... bribary usually works!!

Good luck with the course, have you signed on for W200 yet. I looked at it and had a ngtmare at the price..... Its on hold. x

While he was waiting he went to Asda and brought cat food for puddles.... yes puddles has well and truly got her feet under the table.

Had a wonderful day yesterday, its the quiestish dd has been, took her to see Cirque dancers, - there classed as the next generation cirque de solie dancers.

They were absolutely amazing, and the positions they got into, brought tears to my eyes thinking of it!

One of the best tricks one of the blokes was riding a push bike by the time the act finished he had 10 people on the bike leaning out as a fan shape.

The whole show dd was gobsmacked, in total awe, we were so lucky we had front row seats and as we had booked up early we were slap bang in the middle of the stage.... (lucky I took her booster seat - def a goodsend), shes asked can she go again...... I wish, but it was only on for 3 days, today being the last and all tickets sold out.

But shes off to Beauty and Beast next week....... thats my hrs treat on the internet, back to globalisation xx

Nothing much to add been to wedding reception 2ngt, lovely night, the bride use to work with mum, but shes like a big sister to me, bless them, they'd done a gift bag up for dd, make ur own necklace, earrings, hairclips set, chocolate, sweets and pencil + rubber set.

It was a lovely evening, me, dd and dad, but I know its sounds selfish or horrible, but it hurts, I love dd more than the world, and wouldnt be without her, just ocassions like that I wish, would it been my turn, I guess what makes it worst my back + legs been playing up, can't even get round the house without the crutches, I just want to scream why me.........

I know I'm lucky, but just sometimes I wish I could just walk down the street without my crutches, guess I think I've got less than 2yrs till I'm 40, originally wanted to be debt free, maybe would of done if my lightbulb moments had actually switched on before, but I guess theres always a reason why.

Apologies I'm just haveing one of those evenings xx
