    - Send letters to two DCAs
    - Pay something towards rent
    - Washing up to date
    - Clean piggies and clip claws
    - Read small print on car insurance

    For next week
    - get advice re bailiff situation
    - Pay something toward debt to nursery
    - Email about potentially accepting another F&F offer
    - BUDGET!!!!!
    - Nudge BT to get my landline sorted
    - Email ex again about him seeing DD
    - Send amendment forms to court
    - Keep sorting out books for sale

    Thanks Fay,

    I didn't get far yesterday. Hey ho. Must try harder when back home. I am now trying to figure out how to get funding for the ACCA. I got 4 units excempt so my estimate is that getting the certification would take me 2 years and £2,400.- :eek: Need to make some phone calls on Monday and then go to my employer with hat in my hands ;) Oh, must remember to look at the grant website I found some time ago if I can find an organisation that might help. Fingers crossed.

    What a pathetic attempt. Washing is done but dry washing not put away, piggies have been cleaned but couldn't find clippers so couldn't clip claws. Not a single present have been packed, card written or address found. And I sould leave as of now and nothing has been packed. AAAARRRRGGGHHHH!!!!

    So should I quickly pack and go or go and come back later to get the stuff :confused:

    Ok decision made - I will go and see to the dogs, drop DD off at her friends and then without her under my feet and without me worrying about the dogs can come back to pack.

    Oh to be more oragaised to avoid these last minute panics :o:mad:
