    Ok so i've not posted in a while.. not alot has changed really.:o
    I'm now an Avon Lady and with the change in Tax Credits minus the income support top up I should be about £25 a week better off plus whatever comission I actually make (although knowing me i'll just spend it all on Avon stuff :rolleyes:). Still having appointments at the lovely job centre to try and get a 'proper' job esp since my job is really getting me down atm and I REALLY don't wanna have to go tonight but my new found love of nearly clear credit cards is making me that and the fact I want to have a go about not being paid my missing 9hours still, think it's about time my boss realised i'm not actually going to shut up about it :D

    House situation still hasn't really changed, I can't have any house I want and the ones I can have (that are approved by the council for some tenant finder scheme) are only really fit for rats if the last one is anything to go by!!

    Going to be very skint the next 2weeks getting card payments sorted and DDs paid when all I really want to do is go have some fun in the sun :cool: and go to ThomasLand :p

    Hope everybody else is having a slightly better debt-busting time than me!!

    Its a thomas the tank bit at drayton manor, my LOs seen the ads for it and since hes realised its a place he REALLY wants to go. Its not majorly expensive for me and him but its having to get someone to drive us there and probably get stuck paying for them too thats the issue! He doesn't really ask for alot and since hes thomas obsessed atm i would like to take him and probably my friends kid so hes got someone to play with who can actually fit on the rides! I soooo wish I could drive already!

    Oh ok, I don't think I've ever been to Drayton Manor but I have heard of it...

    Actually is Drayton Manor the one with a car thingys? I think I may have been with my Dad when I was very small. My LO would love Thomas Land she is absolutely obsessed too since we went to Thomas Day at the Spa Valley Railway which inconveniently is in the Car Park of the Sainsburys which is a 2 minute walk away from me. We have a joyful shopping trip every time...queue lots of screams of 'THOMAS, THOMAS, SEE THOMAS, PLEASE MUMMY PLEASE' lol.

    They do lots of Thomas Days at the little railway near us, they just never actually advertise them so we've never quite made it to one! I vaguely remember going to one when i was about 11 for my little brothers sake and absolutely hating it, the fat controller tried to talk to me and i ran away. I've never quite felt confortable around grown up people dressed up like that, especially the sort of costumes with heads, don't think i'll ever be taking the monster to Disneyland lol
