Bit grumpy today because my PAD's to overdraft been returned to me!! They shut my account down and now wont let me pay them back...blighters! Must write to them tonight to find out what they are playing at and try to get a regular payment set up to somewhere to pay it off.
- check quidco and raise a query from car insurance back in August.
- do piggy clicks and comps
- check for some freebie cinema tix - not been on a freebie for ages cause dont fancy Harry Brown and that is all their seems to be
- eaten food from stores for all meals but am feeling a little peckish. Trying to decide between cereal and cup a soup, both in my desk drawer.
- ate an orange which lovely work mate left for me
- dropped off my series 7 of 24 to a mate to borrow cause I wnated to be nice.

morning all. hope you are all having a good monday so far. well done on killing edna fay. you have done so well.
i've got a week off this week and had decided to attempt to toilet train DD who's just turned 2. she was all up for doing wee wee on toilet like big girls and had a practice run when she asked to sit on the toilet. (she's fightened of the potty for some reason but loves the toilet!) but when i had a chat with her this morning about what we were going to do she said no and asked for a nappy on. on the up side she did come and tell me "ser ser need wee wee" (she calls herself ser ser cos she can't pronounce seren which is her name) and sat on the toilet but then asked for her nappy straight back on! so not sure what will happen about that today.

- tea from the freezer/cupboard
- Mr T. delivery due soon .....so many special offers !

Am toying with the idea of starting an OU course..... I want to have a degree before falling off the planet.
I should get funding for the first year at least (given my income/single parenting/DS being of school age) --- a 30 or 60 point course - any advice anyone ????Aiming to be debt-free, and have my degree, by 50 ! :j0 -
Today I have

wow crawley girl a 3rd job?? how do you have time for anything??
It's not as bad as it sounds... I work 37.5 hrs for one company, then do approximately 4 hrs a week as a support worker and then another 7 - 10 hrs for another lady as a support worker... keeps me from spending!
Maybe it does sound bad but it will lessen off after christmas and it helps in the debt stakes!Ever wonder about those people who spend £2 apiece on those little bottles of Evian water? Try spelling Evian backward.0
