    Well done girls on all your wins over the weekend. Hope you managed to get soemthing from the TAB money Jen.

    Dirty Dancing was FAB, really loved it. The tour company we went with was a bit of a nightmare but we're home safe and it was worth going.

    That's a shame Jen, better luck next time.

    Wedding fair was good yesterday,sold a bit but handed out a load of business cards so fingers crossed. Think I've !!!!!!ed up my finances somewhere, should have an extra £100 in my bank that Isn't there, nothing has been take out so it's not that, I've obviously just added up wrong,meaning I have 300 ovedraft to pay off instead of 200 ...!!!! :-(

  • Afternoon all,

    Well done on your bingo win Jen. Are you not able to withdraw from TAB anymore, even if you win on the bingo? :(

    I'm panicking about tomorrow (college). I always sit at the front as if I sit further away I cannot see the whiteboard - I swear the letter move around!... but someone took my seat last lesson so I had to sit at the back and couldn't see! :( I'm going to go half an hour early to get the seat at the front... just hope I don't annoy anyone.

    Yay that's brill Jen- does that mean you can get that student loan for the house?
    Hope u get your seat CL, could you explain to your tutor that you can't see from the back? They might save you a seat?
    Has turned out ok with the money as had electric bill today and it was a lot less than I thought so have replaced the lost money with excess cash I had put by for that.
