    Nice one, I guess it was all good? :j:j:j That definately calls for some school night drinking!

    If I had any pennies I'd drink to that too :D


    LULA :eek:You keep your hands off Brandon..He's mine! End of!
    How did the carrot and coriander soup go by the way??

    Make up I hope you have a brill weekend camping, I am looking forward to hearing your stories when you get back. If you struggle to get your tent up just ask the fittest looking bloke on the site to give you a hand! ;)

    Gwen.. Hope you're feeling less bleugh today and more :D

    I've had a productive day today, I've rang the letting agents got real figures for my rent arrears, I also asked them to ask my landlord to decorate my bathroom, it had some plastering work done months ago and it's still not been re-decorated :mad:
    I've sorted out my change of circumstances form for housing/coucil tax benefit ready to hand in with proof tomorrow.
    I've phoned up HFC see how much I have left to pay on that and it was only £90 :j :j I thought it was way more than that!
    I've phoned the CSA to get an update on my case.
    I've sat down and work out my SOA. I think I might put it all into the SOA calculator later and set myself up with a diary.
    I've had a 30 minute conversation with my Mam without her annoying me, I told her how much debt I'm in and she didn't do her usual trick of flying off the handle.
    I've srtipped my bed and am about to go and make it before I jump in the shower and they go pick DD up from her first time on a train alone. It's only about a 40min journey with no changes so I'm sure she'll be fine:A

    On the downside, my Washing machine won't spin :mad: I should be feeling very worried right now, but I feel far too :D today to let anything get it me.

    Hope everyone's having a good day and looking forward to the weekend now it's almost here. :j

    Mam didnt have a go? or moan? she been taking happy pills or what...lol she normally comes out with something like 'well maybe you shouldnt go out this weekend' 'maybe you shouldnt buy that pair of jeans' (even tho you never go out and you need jeans...lol)
    Im totally shocked at that :eek: but.....im not telling her im in debt n all, that will tip her over the edge...
    For every one else, our mam thinks we are the perfect family, we are the perfect children, never get into torouble or debt or anything like that, oh and i think we are both single cos no one is ever good enough for us! and i know we shouldnt listen and Bowski is alright with that but sometimes she does my head in!...this has turned into a rant...rant over :A

    Well done letting little Bowski go on the train on her own, i bet youve been ringing her tho?

    Kicking myself because I only missed getting a distinction by 4 lousy marks :mad:. I'm pretty sure I know where I dropped them as well & it was because I second guessed myself.

    I had no idea how much work was going to be involved & naively signed up for 2 courses at the same time (Business Studies & Personal Finance) BIG mistake. Won't be doing that again as they basically took over my life but it's out of the way now & at least I've got the certificate in half the time it would have taken otherwise.

    Well done Bowski- it's great getting stuff done...make one feel grrrrreat!:D
    And good result with mother! I like it when the parentals don't do the expected and are nice for a change :TThough i must say it does put me out of my groove sometimes...i like predictable

    I feeel you on the above nicnacnoo...only in our house we are the total opposite...father dearest thinks we are rubbishy, not up to standard leeches but like to pretend that everything is wonderful and we all get along great...Oh the vagaries of life! I tell you its put me off kids and families in general...
    Moving swiftly on....
    One of my fave cousins is coming up tomorrow for a weekend of misbehaving.:eek:..obviously within reason as her 20 & 13yr olds will be with;)
    Is it me being selfish but does being single make you less tolerant of those who have to take kids into consideration...its just sooo limiting when one wants to have fun...or maybe my life centres too much on fun that involves bars and non-family type places?:confused: At least we can do touristy non age restriced stuff. I'm not a very good aunty am i???:confused:

    Sounds like you've had a busy day

    Is it still washing/rinsing ok but not going into the spin cycle?
