Dinah, thats a real !!!! about NIMs hours, I'm sure you'll find a way to sort it. I agree with Birdie, maybe suspend the savings for a bit?

Have fun at the Wedding Fair Birdie! Will there be cake samples?!

Eyeing up the Cadbury snaps in the office, I've been so good all day! Right, will have to exercise my self control. I can do it!
Have a nice night everyone, off to bury myself in the last of todays work, keep me going till 5.

ETA: That wasn't a swear, promise! Just another word for bottom

I love some good storage too am so excited for when we have our own house and can put all OHs stuff in the loft haha. It drives me mad as is all on top of our wardrobes and looks so messy. I am lucky as my mum has still kept my bedroom as my bedroom at home so all the stuff i love but dont need i keep there. Loads of toys from when I was a kid and books and things.

Well the wedding fair was rubbish! There were cake samples but OH's Mum had fed me so much that I was too full to eat any! There weren't many people there and even fewer freebies so a bit disappointing! It was in a restaurant/ hotel type place but they didn't even have any bedrooms open for people to have a look at... isn't that a bit mad? They expect you to pay £150 (or whatever) to stay there on your wedding night, but you can't see what you're paying for!

The biggest joke was a woman who told you what colours suited you and helped to pick a colour theme (but nothing else!) and she charged £100 to do the bride alone, she could do a package to add more people! How mad is that? Stupid deluded woman, I'll tell you what colour I'll be wearing... white! LOL!

Well done for resisting the snaps Cinny, I'd never have managed it!

Sorry to hear the wedding fare was rubbish, but at least there was free cake lol.

OH has been lovely tonight, cooked me dinner and done all the washing up - very rare for him! All so that i could carry on revising as long as i needed to, bless. Feeling pretty ok about the exam tomorrow so have decided to call it a night on revising. May have a quick read through my notes when i go to bed but thats it.

Hope everyone else is having a nice relaxing evening

Shame about the wedding fair Birdie, shows that people can ripyou out of money with that woman though. Maybe i should go into doing something like that if it makes 100 pouds a time haha

Hi Ladies and Gent, Sorry to tell you are all upside down Dinah. I agree with TPA et al. you need to weigh up/balance life between happyness now and happyness in the furture. One should not be missed in order to achieve the other.

Oh roll on the weekend and then half term so that I can catch up, also it's Amber's christening on Sunday so that should be a really good day. I'm not sure if I told you that she has to wear a hip brace as one of her hips is not in the socket properly due to her being breach. Poor little mite. So she will have to wear it on sunday but hopefully it won't be seen under her lovely little frock.

Grief thats a shame for the little un to have to cope with. Hope you have a nice day though.

I just had a thought, if I did become painter extraordinaire, I couldn;t get a mortgage in two years could I? They won't let self employed people without x number of years of receipts.

Bank balance £200 overdrawn.... bad, evil month.

No, but you could start with part time, semi-pro sounds better.
