Yes it has Birdie! It came yesterday I was meant to post last night, it's so pretty, thanks for finding it!
Dinah - When I do it depends on the other office girl I work with, she's just finishing her first year but I don't know if she's doing another year after this or not? Was thinking of a home study course or something, I could fit that in better around work and my magical ever changing hours!0 -
Are you planning to go full time at some point Cinny? Would have thought the course would be good to help you do that, and it'd be convenient to get all that out of the way before taking on the responsibility and expense of a house.
Is your dads business in building houses Cinny? Would have thought he'd stick to this timescale a lot better if its business rather than the bathroom which is non-priority!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Are you wearing it when you do your stall? I think I'm obsessed with cupcakes, look what I've found now!Yes it has Birdie! It came yesterday I was meant to post last night, it's so pretty, thanks for finding it!
I agree with Dinah that now is the time to get courses out of the way; when you're paying bills you never seem to get the chance to take time off work to go to school!Overcome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -

Ooh, thats pretty Birdie!!
I know that nows the time, it's just hard to juggle it at the moment with the other office girl as from what I've seen, the course only runs on one day and it's the same as her college day. That's why homestudy is always coming out trumps - plus from being homeschooled I know I'll be able to motivate myself to get it done.
So I'll look into HS ones tonight, and have a talk with the other office girl on Thursday about what she's planning on doing next year.
I love you ladies, you always give me a kick up the bum in the right direction. Like with the cake stall!
ETA: As much as I like cupcakes.. I think I'll keep them on the table (or top, or headbands) rather than on my skin! I'd love to have the right 'image' to pull them off. 1950s swing dresses and bright red hair!0 -
Hehe, just thought you might fancy a big cupcake tattoo
How cute is this for a cupcake idea?! http://www.examiner.com/x-10866-Austin-Baking-Examiner~y2009m6d12-Fandango-on-with-cupcake-popcorn-bagsOvercome the notion that you must be ordinary. It robs you of the chance to be extraordinary!Goal Weight 140lb Starting Weight: 160lb Current Weight 145lb0 -
I think everyone matures at different rates, OH moved out at 18 whereas I didn't even consider it until I was 21/22 and it still took me until 23 to do it!
I moved out at 18 and am loving it, I get on so much better with my family and love having control of food shopping and general household stuff. But my OH stil lives with his family and he's 25 this year. They do everything for him so I don't think he'd be able to cope with living on his own just yet!!
Only you know whether you and your OH are ready to make the decision to live together on your own

Ewww, I can't stand tattoos, think they look very nasty very quickly as they fade or body shape alters.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
