    Thank you so much for the birthday wishes! :D x

    I had such a wonderful birthday. Fifteen was incredible and it was so lovely to be in a little apartment with OH and just walk on the beach and relax. But back to reality now!

    It has suddenly hit me today that I only have 14 months before I finish uni so I MUST start saving seriously. I have an Amazon wishlist full of stuff but I need to weigh up what I want more - a house or stuff. I have spent a fair bit lately which I'm waiting to all show on my account so I know where I stand.

    My car repairs total £500, and I need to pay for car tax in a few weeks so that's £80. Plus £450 for insurance. Joy. But my sister owes me £300 so I'm hoping she'll give me that soon.

    On a more light-hearted note, I am loving Sophie Dahl's show and Desperate Housewives at the moment! And I wish Larkrise to Candleford was still on! :cool:

    Sophie Dahl's a silly cow! How did she do that Victoria Sponge and make it look so effortless? :angry: (I like her really!)

    Glad you had a good holiday!! x

    She made everything look effortless! I loved her pans and crockery and stuff :o

    Well my money seems to be all fine at the moment so not much to update really! I'm being very good and getting 2 cookery books I want from the library to see if I really like them first.

    I'm babysitting Quinn on Saturday on my own and I can't wait - he's smiling loads and he's gorgeous! So I won't be spending anything which will be good!

    I've just remembered though, I do need to pay postage to send some clothes and a bag back. I'm after a leather satchel type thing and I ordered one and it was rubbish. The search continues! :D

    ETA: I had an email from Tesco clothing with a code for 30% off (I'll post it if it's not a one use only thing) and so anyway for £70 I got:

    2 dresses
    1 playsuit
    2 bikinis
    3 cardigans
    1 tunic top
    1 long sleeved top
    2 vest tops

    Yay! :D Some of it is for my Mum though cause she never gets any new clothes.
