    Hi Sea
    Glad that you were able to sort out CCCS, but what about the DC A that you said were chasing you can you not just refer them to CCCS?

    Ref wallpaper you could post an add on freecycle for bits?

    Glad to hear that you dealt with the ex bf without alcohol WELL DONE. That is great.

    Ref the Dr's is it a practice where you can only see your DR, or can you see another Dr more quickly?

    Good luck with moving through 2010 and thanks for the praise for my quote in my sig. I did nick it off someone else cos I like it so much LOL.

    I want a job that is less than an hour driving away from my house! Are you listening universe?

    :) Hey all - awake early this morning as it was education sunday at the church attached to the lids school so off we went - they were so good as it lasted an hour and a half!! lots of singing though, so that was nice.

    Chev- CCCS all sorted, up my payment to £406 and the DCA are all sorted too :D Feel better about that!

    Hypno - thanks for the idea about the fabric samples - great idea! :)

    Taxi - the lie in was definitely needed! Especially as up and about early this morning.

    Well, still the housework to do, my mum has gone swmming with the kids and so that'll give me a good hour or two to get the house a little more shipshape and get washing done etc. (woopee!!!lol)

    Timmy is not smelling quite as bad now and is definitely returning to his old self, so has been rampaging around the house.

    Still working through the Lord of the Rings sized questionnaire form!! but not too bad.

    Back on in a bit when I've achieved something!

    Ooh - my life is exciting! Just bleached grout in bathroom and waiting a little while before scrubbing it off.

    Done a few surveys today - see m to be getting a few yougov ones at the moment, but still another £17 odd quid before payout!

    Foudn a few bits to ebay, so going to try to do that at some point today - that'd be handy money really.

    Nice to hear that you've sorted the CCCS and the DCA out as that must be a great big relief.
    You are doing great at getting the house sorted and great that you found some bits to ebay.
    All in all very positive stuff which is fantastic.

    ooh - productiveness!! This is great - finished bathroom tiles - a new lease of life as they lok great - the bleach/baking powder mixture nearly burnt my nose off, but the result is wonderful lol.

    Now started on my bedroom while washing and cooking tea, and have found lots of pressies for the present box, which will save some money throughout the year hopefully :)

    Best get on - a few more surveys done but as I don't drink, get screened out of more than I thought I would!

    Hi :)

    Today was a good day moneywise - didn't spend any of my cash - although I did make an order to avon, whoops! it was all sale stuff and I got lots of freebies for my pressie box. It was mainly bubble bath, shampoo etc so it'll definitely get used!!

    Tomorrow will be a little more expensive - got to go to the dentists and then to the vets, so about £45 odd I think altogether (fingers crossed with the vets mind!!).

    Still feeling positive - lost 6lbs last week and still trying to eat healthily, which is good because it's making me use the things in the cupboards rather than just pop out and grab more food from the shop, and then end up spending more of course.

    Not heard back from the lino man or the mortgage people - grr. Will have to ring tomorrow again if they haven't rung by then.

    Wish I had barclays online for the credit card so I could check it and then pay off little bits more - it helps to actually see the balance with me!! :D

    Anyway, enough from me - going to try to put up a chair tomorrow night so there are more seats in my kitchen!! :D
