    That's sad about butlins, I stopped doing it a bit ago because when I withdrew I accidently forgot to leave any money in the account. Jackpotjoy has a free game though, I do that one.

    Hey

    Im feeling very down about everything recently! Lots and lots of personal things going on, plus I had an operation on Saturday to remove 3 wisdom teeth under general. I felt okish Sunday during the day and then during the evening I felt worse, and Monday I felt awful. I went to the docs on Monday and he signed me off for the rest of the week. I wasnt with it at all on Monday, and yesterday.

    Feeling a bit better today, but still achey and sore. My work is not going to be happy. They had a massive go at me for having 2 days off sick last year, so Im dreading this... they seem to hate me lol

    Ah well... and its ages until payday and again I am running low on funds (I know why, I purchased some bits for a hobby, that cost £120 :eek: and I bought anniversary pressie for my other half for the end of Feb, which cost £80... so that was the money I put in my savings... so now savings is £0 again... :( )

    Urgh,.... sorry to whinge!!

    :rotfl:

    Im sure I will be ok.

    I will go back to work next week and feel better for being there I am sure.

    On the up side we are now in February, which means another month closer to when I can apply for a mortgage... roll on 19th April... ;)

    How is everyone else??
