    Thanks hun - took him to the vets - doing much better but another course of antibiotics and another trip to the vets next week - so another £26. But the dentist insists I have paid, I insist I haven't so they are getting back to me lol!!

    Not done much today - bought a top up shop but made delicious meal of spag bol with enough for another 2 meals so that's brilliant (and lots of veggies in it too:) ).

    Want to pay more off debt but pacing myself - did think about magazines in spar but walked past! Got to pay breakfast club and dinner money this week for kids so that'll be £200 out but that's budgeted for so it's ok.

    Start Ou course this weekend :) Well, it officially starts anyway! Should be interesting - just another 2 days of work to go til then. Going to get an early night tonight- sleep is all over the place so I'm feeling tired most the time, but hopefully that'll straighten itself out soon.

    Wish I had more to report but life is pretty boring at the mo,

    I agree with that ..sometimes we need boring to take a breather to take stock.

    yes - that and drinking for me taxi, but I know where that took me and I'm not going there again! Perhaps it's the weather too...

    Had a NSD day today :) Which was nice. Also got a phone call from talk talk so looks like that's going through now which I'm pleased about - anohter £2.50 a month but wireless and smoother broadband as well as all the benefits I have now, so pleased about that. Will have to talk to T-mobile too as annoyed with the package I've got - it's rubbish and I want a cheaper one!!

    Now getting gas and electric variable bills each month, but it'll mean I'll be up to date and won't get any major shocks and can adjust when necessary too. Also getting the electricity tracker thingy coming as well.

    Waiting for my bcard bill - though it'll be in another 11 days or so - would SO love to clear that asap!! Then I think I'll ring DLAs to see what the balances are so I have a clear and accurate balance to work from for all my debts.

    Ebay (yawn) too this weekend- needs to be done and will give some more cash for bcard as well :) Checked online account and haven't paid the dentist so will put aside that money for when they do ask for it.

    Other than that, nothing much to report - woke up at 8.45am this morning - meant to be in at 8.30 NOT good, but was in by 9 (barely had my eyes open!) which is when my first proper lesson started!

    Hugs

    thanks :)
    My friend called round earlier with a cream cake - got full sugar rush and have now done whole kitchen, scrubbing the microwave and even moved it to clean under! Went so far as to clean the bins too - hope I get some sleep tonight!! :)

    Ah well, think I must be getting inspired by Hypno's flyladying today! :)
