    Hello everyone

    I am officially the happiest person on the board today as I have just finished my last exam and therefore uni!!! :j:j:j:j

    I have been dreaming of this day for the last two years and now it's finally here. Haven't a clue what to do next but not having uni to worry about has just lifted a massive weight off my shoulders (I think it was the same weight I had put on as weight watchers this week lol)

    Anyway today I have will:
    • checked banking
    • scratches
    • got a lift to uni with OH so saved petrol but I'm heading for a drink with my sister when she finishes work so I doubt I will save much
    • getting lift home with OH and have told him to do some overtime so I can stay in pub later so we both win :rotfl::rotfl:
    That's all, will be too drunk later to think about money so have a lovely day, it's still warm here so I'm thinking of perching in the beer garden!:beer:
