    Hit the next target and now in the 2ks repayment.....

    Overall hasn't too bad - got through the family party without any probs, thou forget to order mum some flowers, so11am sunday morning, theres me in my pjs as Asda rading the flowers, spent £15, but got 2 bouquets - mum and gave the other to my aunty, and then took some flowers to the crem.

    Like bdays, one friend ftook me out for a meallast night, went to our local 2 for £10, had voucher for free bottle of wine, had a good natter, nice eveing, then next week, off to the theatre with dad to see a play - very mse - had half price tickets, then another friends taking me for an Indian.

    Financies - don't know whats happended its just been a nightmare of a month, - my credit ratings shattered anyhow, so rang 2 card companies and they have put me on a 6 month reduced payment, and my loan they've given me a months holiday, they asked did I want it putting to the end of the loan, said no - I'll dribble add to it over next 3 months.
    I guess Jan and Feb lived so tightly, didn't need much but this month, with having to pay £35 a month for 10 months towards Ou, and DD needed clothes, we didn't go posh, got stuff Primark, Peacocks, micking around footwear from shoe zone and school shoes from clarks- thou mum and dad pay for they £32.00, helps out, I've needed someclothes - all came at once, but the 3 companies I dealt with were really helpful, -one company said don't worry, you've come to us which is always better. I just needed a bit of a breathing space, but still pay some off. I've planned to just use the 3 months - thou can go upto 6 months with the cards, planned that 3 months should be enough if it isn't the option is still in place.

    Back to the studies, I will be so glad to get away, just got to the stage of tiredness of studying, I've always done courses straight after one finishes - get there, xx

    not a bad day today, did a carboot sale, but losing the hrs sleep, then getting up at 6am, got there about 645am, there was about dozen cars there already.
    DD - made £15, and I made £40 so thats going straight into the dolphin fund, thats tipped it into the £400 bracket, getting there very slowly.

    just came to a standstill with everything else, studying but not getting there - do what I can this week,

    While I def ended being 39 with a bang and a half, there was a agm at school for the PTA, I ended up opening a can of worms - not inteentionally asked if anyone else was standing for the position of chair person before I voted, that was it, there was screaming, shouting, one woman stormed out - shouldn't laugh (did afterwards) - worked out luckly on way out the 3 govenerors were talking to the head and said look the PTA needs to get its !!!! into gear, and after May half term, that we need to sit down and go through a year planner for the follwing school yr and put in events - he agreed (phew) - the schools spending the money - yet its not magiced from trees.

    had a good ngt tonight went to see a play, took dad, it was a bit weird black macarbe playwould be the best way to describe it, we were in the 3rd row and there was no-one in the 1st two rows!! but they said its sold out at weekend, thou broke a tooth on an eclair - such a silly thing, but be a miracle to get the dentist before the weekend.

    So def be starting 40 with a bang, I know they say life begins at 40.... just got 2 days running around (hopefully half be virtual) - want to get the trips sorted, and train tickets - saves pratting around with 2 cars and all that saga!

    After madam setting herself up with a facebook account that has been a saga in itself, - her 1 school friend was putting weird messages on, she put on DD and (her name) were looking for men.... how the heck they got me off the ceiling don't know, she only did it Sat ngt, found out Mon ngt, so got rid of a wack of it, locked down everything, but spent most of the day pondering, as she said at school they just forward messages and don't know what they mean, and with the court case saga, just can't risk anything that could be used against me, so closed it completely. Said if she does want a facebook account we would look into after hols.

    Had the lady round to help with DLA form, thou she send me some paperwork to fill in 40 pages...... she was here for 2 hrs and only got bit of the form, she said I can see you def need the DLA, and care but there refusing most applications, but don't worry we're appeal..... but in all honestly filling in the forms was a stress could just do without.

    We had ngtmare earlier in the week, the caravan we going to the boiler and burst and there was damage, but the good news the lady rang tonight and said its all fixed, so ok for weekend, - thank god for that we've got the plumbers / builders coming in Monday to do the bathroom, and thats a 8 day job!!

    Off to bed..... xx
