Am already noticing the benefits of OH not being here!! Didn't put the heating on all day until 7pm and even then its only been on 17c, that would never have happened with OH here!!
Feeling a little chuffed as well, picked up a nice little mystery shopping job at a cheap food store that i had wanted to go to but had been too far away to warrant a trip. However now that i am getting paid to go out there and shop i am very happy, plus it means i can snap up lots of bargains!!
Mbaz, good news on the feedback from the Uni, sometimes you need these kinds of things to help focus you on what you need to be doing and what can be beneficial for your career. Good luck on finding an appropriate course, hope you find one you like.
ooh yes, i forgot, welcome to the new person, nice to have you with us, seems like you have settled in well already!:j Live on £4500, £2531/£4500:T 101 in 1001 (52/101):j:beer::j

Evening all, watching supersize superskinny making me feel urggh!! Not feeling too good after the night shift as well.
Mbaz...glad you got the feedback, sounds reasonable i guess, i used to work in admissions though and i think its a harsh decision to decline someone. Keep trying!! I think the OU is a fab idea, go for it! Plenty financial support too and would really solve moneysaving and childcare issues.

Snap - when the going gets tough I always head to the kitchen to destress with cooking/baking session:D productive and stressbusting at the same time;)
Glad you are feeling little better Loki.0 -
