    Well done Piggers and Toots for the new thread

    Boddy - I know about the 'last time' stuff - hope you manage to breeze through it

    I am so in this week. The last two weeks I've really done hardly anything. The house is evidence of that. I need to buck my ideas up...

    Toots - thanks!!!:beer: And thanks to all!:beer:

    Hubby wants to do architectural technology, basically its learning to be an architect! But he could also get a job as a clerk of works for the council. It's something he's wanted to do for years, but being in the army didn't really give him the time to do the coursework. So now we are back to normal life, he wants to give it a go. He's applied for part time so he can keep his benefits and not have to get a student loan. Might take him longer but it will be better for him in the long run!

    Me, I've applied for complementary therapy. Its aromatherapy, reflexology and counselling! I've applied for part time in the evenings and at weekends, so that if we both get the courses, then we don't have to arrange childcare. The only icky bit is I have a phobia of feet, so hoping this will cure me!!!:confused:

    Plus I got a great telephone call yesterday. I had applied for a motability car. I know I will miss having the benefit money paid monthly:eek:, but the freedom will outweigh anything bad:D. Plus I found out if I was successful I would only have to pay for my petrol, as I get my insurance thru it as well. Got the phone call yesterday to say I was accepted, and that I would be getting to pick up my car on 16 September!!!:j They had given me a date of my birthday on the 24th but told me it could be october. So I don't have too long to wait. It's costing me £100 but it was supposed to be £200! So I have managed to cut that cost down! And I get a brand new car every 3 years! Happy bunny:j:j:j!!!!!

    Well have managed to get all the clean laundry hung up in the wardrobes, just off to put DD2's clothes in her drawers. Then DD1's in her drawers and my step-daughters stuff in her drawers then I'm off to my bed!

    See you all in the morning!
    LBM - August 2008 - Debts then - £33390 :eek:- 2nd LBM - November 2009 - Debts then - £18500:mad:
    Current debt levels: OD £3860, Loan 1 £6091, Loan 2 £5052, Parents £260, Total £16133 :eek: As at 01 May 2012 - 51.69% paid off :j
