    Ho hum.

    Looks like we're going to compulsory redundancies. And I've just found out a few things that I think are really unfair going on at school too :(

    Not feeling great.

    Off to SW to be told I've put weight on.

    Thanks - a bit more with it now - gained 1/2 a pound so not too bad.

    And feeling better about the work situation - what will happen, will happen so no point in being negative and dwelling on it :)

    Good news money wise is that I claimed £108 for travel expenses from the course I went on, on Sunday (40p a mile) so that'll be handy for car related expenses and means the money I got paid for the day (probably about £60 after deducts) can be used to either save, or go off my smallest debt :)

    So positive things have happened too :)

    What will be will be - it is all about how you go about dealing with it.

    You have been through worse, and it has made you stronger.....so you are well prepared in many ways for whatever happens.

    Exactly the same things happening at my place, not a good place to be at the moment.

    but equally as you say in your later post what will be will be.

    hang in there, you are sounding good xxx

    HI all

    funny things - I get one area of my life sorted but while I work on another, the first bit unravels!! Spending a little out of control - nothing terrible, but tihngs I don't really need, just want!!(scrapbooking stuff) been really enjoying doing the scrapbooking, helping with the stress, which is lovely. However, then the other things slip.

    Almost like I'm on the top of a very tall pile of magazines - balancing it all, but once I start moving, the magazines fly off and I'm running at full speed to avoid falling. NOt sure if I'm making any sense at all!!

    Anyway, got several things to do today -
    1. Book mobile tyre man to come and fit my tyre tomorrow
    2. Return parcel to PO
    3. Go to Thorntons to get present for student (money given by other students)
    4. Go to SW and fingers crossed lol
    5. Do washing (!!)

    Joy joy! :D Hope all are well and happy

    Hope everyone is having a good day. Getting some expenses paid in tomorrow, so that'll be a relief, so going to pay some money out to childcare etc so I don't fritter it away!!
