    Hi all,

    I had a really nice weekend. Went to stay at my friends in Sussex. We had a bbq and played rounders and OH played with the millions of dogs that were there. Sleeping in a tiny tent was not fun, might get our own if we go again as we borrowed this one. Managed tot op up the tan a bit this morning too.

    Jen - I think you should treat yourself before the new job. I get extra pay next month (backdated pay) so am going to treat myself

    I was glad diversity won too, think they deserved it

    Afternoon everyone,

    I hope today has been okay for you Jen. I have good news for once, I've got my old job back AND I had my first exam this morning which went fine...after my three whole hours of revision this morning :o. Even better, the last two big mark questions were on carbohydrate digestion, I thought I was talking out of my backside but now I've looked at the text book I actually wasn't. I'm in quite a good mood :).

    Thanks mm, the best bit is I'm really on the way to getting out of debt properly now :). I'm not including my student loan so I've got £3,500 left to get rid of, I should be able to do that by the end of the year hopefully :D.
