    I had a good night out last night with my friend at Bournemouth, saw loads of people i knew from uni which was good.

    Have been looking at laptops as my computer is pretty broken. My dad said he will lend me money for it, will be adding to my debt but do need one.

    I had to do exactly the same thing with my computer, but if you need it you need it. At least it's a loan from a parent rather than an a bank. That said my boyfriends sister borrowed some money to buy a car and her own mother is charging her nearly bank rates in interest. I can't honestly believe anyone would do that to their own child but anyway...

    I really want pizza but I'm trying to resist.

    I had brackets put on my wisdom teeth yesterday (for my braces) which the dentist said the treatment is near enough over now just closing the last gap and make sure they all line up alright then thats it. But all my teeth are killing me today!!!! cant eat any solids well just ate a sausage lol but that was a task and a half. Anywho to cheer myself up i have a herbal tea to make and some galaxy chocolate to dip into it lol sshhhh dont tell the dentist. :D

    I remember that feeling Stacy, I hope it starts feeling better soon. The thing I hated most was the taste of the glue they use to stick the brackets on, it always hung around for a couple of days and nothing seemed to make it go away.

    Morning, hope you all changed your clocks!!

    Stacy I know your pain, I can't eat easily for at least a week after each adjustment! I am only 8 months in now, got at least 10 - 16 left!

    I am hoping to get back on the money making band wagon in April but can't spend any to make any, its a month today until I go to New York! And its still a secret :D Only 18 days until I can tell him!

    I only have £300 spending money at moment, worked out can have £600 before next pay day though and can nab £400 from next payday and then his family should give him some cash too.
