Yet another teacher here ( but now I train people to be secondary mathematics teachers).

Am usually a lurker on this thread but felt I would like to comment re the dyslexia issue.

Black text on white is not ideal. Research shows that brown writing on a cream background is "best". (Try doing it for yourself on word and notice the difference)

ok those with crowbars for there wallets can you lend me one?

bitten the bullet have used my debit card to pay of one of the 659.00 i owed in full, one less debt to worry about have almost cleared my halifax by doing it but its one step closer to being debt free, can clear at least 2 more by the end of the week (once transfer from one account to my halifax happens) not the bigger ones but to me its a great start, it then leaves me pretty much the bigger ones being barclays (great when they offer you loans online 3 times and stupid people like me take them), thought i may as well use what i saved last year from this challenge

ive had a bath (too lazy for a shower) and im shortly going to settle in front of the telly and hopefully be in bed by ten

Well, fifth day in and I had to spend:mad:
Needed milk and paid the paper bill.Know I could stop the papers,but it's my little treat and I give them to my neighbour who then gives me her evening paper.So feally a BOGOF.:rolleyes:
Luckily for me there are no shops around here to have a look round,just a co-op,which never seem to have whoopsies:D
Going to get a few things done and then watching "Living Without Money"

ilovetea x

We do the paper swap thing- I give neighbour my mags from subscriptions (got another year for xmas:j )and she gives OH her daily paper when she has read it, he reads and then passes it to another oldie. Papershop never going to make a fortune with our lot:p

Well done on paying off your debt fizz
