    I've hit my first £1,000 repayment xx

    :beer: I love reaching milestones like that! Well done. :beer:

    How was your tutorial? Where in Birmingham were you?

    Well done on all the shopping too, I've been spending but didn't manage to do so well. Spent £22 in boots, just on makeup. Oops.

    How is your neighbour hun? I know someone who lost their nephew recently too, he was only 6 months. It must be so hard and I guess people don't see it as upsetting when it's not your own children. Does make you think though doesn't it. xxx
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...

    We eventaully navigated birmingham, we were Corporation Lane, - thou nearly had a heart attack when we came to pay to get out, fair enough multi story, we were there 4 1/2hrs, nice took dad to cheap pub for lunch, the car park was £13.50........... Dearer than lunch!!

    Enjoyed it, there was only 4 of us there, and the one lady this is out 5th course together.

    The funernal is on Monday, spoke to her OH, he said she has good days /bad days, but think Mon it will sink it, bless her.

    Really makes me think how lucky I am with DD, told it would near impossible for me stay pregnant, and she held in for tooth and nail, little angel. But cheeky one at mo, she thinks its brilliant to swear in Arabic, thats flavour of the month at the mo.

    Did nip home via Argos, spent £30! but dongle for internet £20, then £10 on little nick nacks, the dog chewed the end of the dongle, just use a pay + go while away, keeps the computer sucure, not runnning round to find wifi! Decided 2mor is ebay day - got 3 carrier bags full to go on xx

    Quit day today, had my lazy sunday morning - lush, then listed 23 things on ebay, thou about half are dd's clothes - that gets reinvested.

    Got dd to sort out her summer stuff, just needs a few bits, better than I thought.

    haven't done any money orgainising, etc today, had another reaction 2ngt, granery bread, - my fault I didn't check what dad had brought, jabbed myself (3rd attempt) my nerves just went, paramedic + ambulance ready to take me it, but i said stay at home, just leaves a wheeze with asthma, so he gave me a steriod + ventolin mix - soon sorted.

    School tomorrow, then its run around day, nip to Argos and Boots, then that be me done and dusted, this months bills are coming in - so weekend be sort out payment dates, every little bit helps x

    I had a set of bloods taken 30th Dec, but apparently they got contaimaned in the lab, so had to go Mon for more tests, apparently there not being done at our hosp, there being sent to Wolverhampton - and thats about 3 week wait.

    Theres no real pattern, chicken tikka, granery bread, mint tac tac, wine, seaseme seeds.

    Went for a Curry Wed ngt everything was ok, just want to get an answer, everything at mo is trial and error.

    madam is a little behave for the arabic swearing, she thinks it brilliant, dreading if she says it at school, her class has a bully, she works away around the class, shes had a couple of runs in with DD, and last week DD told her my mothers a goveroner and shes in the next class, and she'll tell the headmaster!! whoops...

    What a weekend, Sat was tutorial in Birmingham, we drove past this car park 6 times, then realised one we needed to park in. Felt sorry for the tutor, as only 4 of us turned up.
    Very mse.... break time, found the free coffee machine.... and they had biscuits and all posh teabags, - so did a sample run, had this one lady on the course in stitches, didn't realise she was behind me!! Luckly shes knows me as its the 4th course we're doing together, so she did the same.

    Found a cheap pub for lunch, 2 pints, I had Gammon, dad had Steak and ale pie, - £13, then the best bit - returned to the car - parking exit fee £13.50!!

    Sunday - dad thought he was being helpful getting a loaf of fresh bread, but he brought granery - too late - aphalxiis shock. Got throught it ok, so weird but I was shaking and took me 3 attempts to jab, think last time was such a shock, but its steriods and allery tabs for a week.

    We had some gd news 2day, got physio appointment nxt week re my knee, and bless him, I must have the sweetest gp there is, I had anaphylxis shock Sunday ngt, full saga.... as dropping mates boys bday prezzie off, thought docs on wrote, can re-order direct - popped a note on the request asking for repeat allergy tabs and steriods, using my supply up, sods law couldn't remember the posh name, it was jabbie-pen, steriod - can you do the doseage and the allery ones. With a PS - Sorry couldn't remember proper names, bless his heart he rang this afternoon to see how I was and to say the prescription was ready. It sounds daft - it just makes you feel valued. x

    Can't believe the weeks flown by so quick, thou in dream land Monday day time, just got up before dd came home from school- once taken the epi-pen the next day sleep for England.

    No debt busting this week, - the money starts coming in next week, and out twice as quick!!

    Having a few probs with DD at school, they've got a class bully, apparently its been going on for good 2 yrs, and she works her way through the class - shes now started on DD. I'm not saying DD perfect, but we've had 2 ngts of her coming home from school absolutely hysterical. Popped into see the teacher, shes aware thats there a problem, but the issue - some of the other parents won't complain officially... but shes keeping an eye on DD. She was in such a state that she didn't go to ballet and tap, which she loves.

    Hit the dining room with avengance this afternoon, what started off as a 5min were check that draw, 3hrs later we'd finished, - even thou 4 carrier bags of junk, DD's wii stuff all tidy - had them hanging around - under the bed storage containers - put all accessories in one, games in another, all her spare stationary in another - how one child can have over 100 pencils!! I even ended up tidying her school bag - sharpered all her pencils, coloured pencils etc -got a flipping blister...

    I've been doing the OU study - now 2 weeks ahead with the sports course, (good as mth ago - got myself 5 weeks behind), just started the new business course, bit scary 1st level 3, the change in the work load scary, - looks like 1 week will take that long, my 1st assisgnment 2,500 words - feels like help - as thats normally the end of course assisgnment, but it be worth it in the end.

    Should get off my rear and do my bedroom - not got the motivation!!!

    Have spent some money - but have been very mse - needed some new swimwear for hols, and Evans / Ann Harvey looking at £30 ish for 1. But found a tankini (love the shorts style bottom) they were on ebay brand new - from the same brand that I got my cheapies last yr in catalogue clearour, pd £8 for plain black 2 piece, and £6.26 for a flower print, - they fit like a T, whilst leaving feedback - noticed the flower print the seller reduced them again to £4.70. Ordered another 2, with postage everything came to £30 but good news - had £20 from stuff sold on ebay - only cost me £10, V happy.

    Good news on Tunisia, there down grading the level and letting tourists go, so by July we should be all ok.

    Bless him, I have the nicest GP in the world, I'd reordered epi pen and steriods etc, couldn't remember the names- so added sorry at the bottom. I put the request in Monday, he rang Tuesday, to see if everything was ok, and he worried that I hadn't been in for a couple of weeks!! (whoops - I think I must live at the surgery!!), so funny, he's Indian, and you know when you say certain saying, I said "its as much use as a chocolate teapot" - he hadn't heard it before, trying to explain, he said my mum reminds me of his nan!! Poor man.

    Tomorrow - pop and see Uncle (mums side) as its his birthday 17th, but its also the 1st anniversary of my Uncles death, (mum side), and the anniversary of nan, it sounds daft, we take some flowers up to the crem, and put a donation for a charity.

    Guess I've babbled for England, be nice next week to see my payments going up!! xx
