I shall not be away for as long as I thought so things are looking up.. and I have apretty cheque in my hand.. :D.. apparently we are getting a reasonable amount each month from our bursary.. and just for a giggle I have applied for a few xmas temp. jobs.. see how I get on.. the extra cash would be very useful.

    Thanks all.

    I think its all about staying focussed, I easily get side tracked or "bored" but this thread is great for staying motivated, also a kick up the backside once in a while does help lol xxx

  • Just checked my 'present' drawer and I have more things than I thought - so hopefully will not have to spend too much for "that date at the end of the year".:T

    No nagging toots - it's not displacement activity - we have an international market this weekend and it's a good place to look for presents so I needed to check what I already had.
