the school hols are all over the place this yr, by our authority the summer holidays usually finish around 22nd July, but there in school for another 2 or 3 days.
You can always go into your local authority page, search education and then calender, your get this school year, plus most of the time you get the following yr, - the only thing that can change is pd days, - the authorities have to produce the school yr in advance as they give it to the ambulance and fire authority etc

Hi all:). Had half day today so i went to tesc£ and bought another persil liquid 54 washes £5.00 half price and the kenko coffee 1/2 price and i got a pair of work shoes half price at £7 nice too:) and needed.
A couple of people in work have been admitting to serious debt/money problems this week its so hard for everyone right now.:(
People just dont have spare cash! Hopefully though it will stop people organising work nights out!:rotfl: I am quiet open regarding my situation (except to some family) i offer help and advice and my experience to them if they want to know. I feel money problems should not make people feel ashamed it could happen to anyone.
3 years have nearly passed now since my lbm and i am so glad i took it i hand when i did. :T
Hope your all ok.

Sounds daft, but maybe bacause uve been so open, its brought other people to their lightbulb moments, as you say at least be less expensive nights out xxxx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx0 -
I hope your dad and step dad are feeling better.
I have always open with people regarding our situation although when we go on to a DMP I dont want my parent to find out so will be keeping quiet for a while untill everything is settled. My husband has a friend who is always telling us off for having no money and say's thing like but its only £10 for a few pints I chucked my cash card at him once and said if you can get me £10 off that I will love you forever he dont go on so much now, the sad thing is I can see him going the same way he has just got a loan to pay off his credit card but not cancelled the card yet, hes also just moved in with his fiance got all new furniture and they are trying for a baby he frowned upon me for re-using baby stuff but he don't get it.
Have a good weekend xElectric and Gas Predators 17/£700:j:j:j October make £10 a day challenge :j:j:j£155/£3100 -
Hi Happy i know a couple of people who have not had their lbm yet i can see it coming but they will realise soon.

Hi guys!:wave: well i have been awol for a while but dont worry i have still been leading the mse life!:)
I have been lucky enough that my dad has given me money for a new car(i am so very lucky) so the money draining stress bucket has gone! Just in time too as the tax was due and the new one is taxed:D.
It is such a huge burden lifted as on a dmp we would not have been able to get a loan (not that i could anyway):o.
Got a good deal on car insurance with agift voucher thrown in!:j.
What else can i say 3 years on and i really feel watching the money and budgeting is instilled into me. I even went back to mr t yest as i only got one of the bogof deal so went back for the other one!:rotfl:it would have bugged me for days! Thats what happens when you rush your shopping!;)
Half term so a few little treats planned orange wed, play dates etc!
Hope your all well
