    Well done Fizzel and good luck slowly fading

    I just found out I have won a £5 voucher for Mothercare from a TV survey I did. Some people might say its only a fiver but I am really pleased as it will be very handy.

    Going to watch living without money too, then have a nice warm bath to try and get rid of these cramps.

    Well done Fizzel, you're all guns blazing! :T(Same to you CW, can't remember if I said the other day...)

    Great stuff with your first lesson SF! :T Good luck with the PGCE too - I wish I'd enjoyed mine as much as SFT but as you know had a pretty tough year (split up with fiance in middle of it :(). It's still def worth it though ;)

    Thanks for the heads up, will watch that programme and delay planning even more :rotfl:I've decided part of the problem is that I haven't been paid for the last 3 lessons :mad:
    Maybe the cramps are a good thing Pip?:confused:

    Way to go fizzel!
    Spent quite a bit today as have just moved into new accomodation and needed things like an ironing board and one or two reduced treats. Using spending diary to record everything and it makes quite scary reading, though I'm recording everything, dds and daily spends in there.

    SFT did you find the brown easier on the eye?

    Also, comic sans ms (this font) is also easier for dyslexics to read as it is the only font where the a is written in exactly the same way as when we write.
