Well it appears that the clearing the air seems to have worked, as it is much better today :j Will still take some time for us to be completely relaxed but has been a pretty bad few weeks and other person agrees.
Won another £15 on bingo this morning :j Not sure how everyone plays it but I just play all £5 at the same time - is that the best way to do it?
Have officially had a NSD today as well :j bought some things for work and got the money back, usually I would just forget about it but not this time.
Huge problems with OH's expenses as they haven't been paid and should have been early last week :mad: he is trying to sort it out but the CC needs paying!!
Have been a bit lax with my spending diary this week (took my eye of ball due to work stress) but I think we are well within our budget as hardly spent anything, although did have to buy a digi box. Have nice low cost plans for the weekend and have started some xmas shopping as well. Have got a lovely present for parents and grandparents that is more thought based than money based and I think they'll love it

Hi IMD
Glad you stuck it out with the work situation - Good for you, you will be much stronger for staying put and sorting it out :T
As for the marathon - Wow - you've inspired me to get out tomorrow morning. I'm a sporadic runner but have pre-registered for the GNR (and half of me is really hoping I don't get in).
Look forward to hearing how it's going!0 -
