Have tasted muffin and was yummy! Good news after what happened to the other lot.
Have managed to do another review as well, now on 25,000 points half way to next cheque which is good0 -
Well weekend wasn't good overall. OH was out sat night then didn't come home till Sunday night, which wound me up a bit as was really bored. We had a bit of an argument about it but we are all good now. Almost glad to be back at work!
Made a payment into OD fund of 7.25 this morning, so is creeping up.
Am doing OK moneywise, got a fair but left. Trying to save as much as poss then can go on OD at end of month if i have any left0 -
Yeah I'd argue too if my OH stayed out that long randomly! I hold on to anger for a freally long time too, takes about 48 hours for me to calm down again.
NIM and I were bickering a bit at the end of the first week together, and getting worked up over the daftest things. We eventually worked out it was because I like getting things done and THEN taking time off, whereas he likes to take a break after work or on Saturday, then do chores etc late evening or on a Sunday, so I was spending all my time 'off' stressing about stuff that needed doing, and was never getting to relax. Once we talked it through though we found something that works for both of us, and are a lot happier for it. Most arguements are just poor communication of expectations I think

I said to him I wouldn't mind if he had given me notice as I could have planned to do something. He said was a last minute thing though... ah well!
I agree with you about the expectations, OH and I can have different expectations of what we are doing for a weekend and ends up in an argument.
Glad you managed to sort something out to make it easier for both of you0 -
Glad your sorted now with your OH, must be the weather as i argued with mine too! lol

Now at 39.45 on onepoll, so close! Yes start back at zero after that. Was going to stop doing it when I got cheque but might just keep at it and maybe can get another cheque in a year!
I found out that what I thought had been my online exam for the work certificate i'm doing was just the end of unit questions. That means I missed the deadline to do it. I think they understood the confusion though as have got a extension till Thurs, will be doing revision tonight now. Means no time for dooyoo etc, but this is more important.0 -
oops, good luck with the exam0

Managed to revise and do the online exam last night and got pass with credit, so all good! Doesn't actually matter the mark you get but at least I am doing good.
Hopefully will get some more onepoll today.
Am excited as will be able to order wii fit tomorrow when my bp voucher comes yay0
