    morning everyone.

    Thanks sammy, that means a lot :) and how sweet to look for a FX fundraising run, I might even do that myself (did I just say that??)

    Ok, so the pity party is over. Time to bounce back.

    Today I'm going to phone around all of the local holiday clubs to see what I can sort out. If I have to fund the 1 to 1 myself for this holiday then so be it. Needs must and all of that, I'm going to start this course and I'll be damned if stupid people are going to stand in my way.

    Yesterday I was feeling that we were going to have to move asap, but this morning I feel differently. I will not be forced out of here because old people with nothing better to do than worry about the look of the neighbourhood want us out. So, Abs has a swing and plays a bit loudly at times. it's an hour a day, if they don't like it they can bloody well shut their windows. I am absolutely confident that I do the best job i can for her, she is adored and all of her needs (plus more) are met. No one can do a better job than I am doing and if they think they can, well, they are welcome to have a go for a week. We don't have the money to move and right now I don't want to, we will move when it is right for us and not the snotty busy bodies.

    Of course, if they want to club together and buy us a lovely detatched house out in the sticks away from civilisation they are more than welcome to. Otherwise they can sod off :)

    Oh and I'm glad you girls had a good night out at TT, it sounds like loads of fun. I remember going to a gig once (the day before one of my finals at uni). I said I wanted a quiet night because of the exams, but the next morning I woke up on the sofa with streaky bacon all over my leg, I was covered in glitter and had bright pink hair. I crawled into uni, couldn't see the exam paper because the words kept dancing about on the page, so I didn't write much (failed the exam... funny that:D). I was told it was a good night though and judging by the state I was in, I must have had a good time :rotfl:

    I had a similar experience with my Chemistry A level practical exam! I'd just met DH-to-be and as I was only just 18, not a very experienced drinker. I woke up in his bed (yikes!) covered in puke. He delivered me back home (and scarpered,sharpish) as my Dad was on the warpath...the school had called asking why I hadn't turned up for exam yet...I got there a little late but was completely trolleyed...only scraped a D....worst day of my life....
    Debt-free...and staying that way...
