  • erm.........thankyou.........much blushing.......
  • God, I want to go out tonight. Last Saturday - open invitation to go and have fun, a dance and copious amounts of beer. I wasn't interested.

    Tonight I fancy going out. Ihave 0% chance of getting my OH to say yes, but I want to go out!!! Much stamping of feet and sticking out of bottom lip.


    The 'no, it will cost money' angel is wrestling with the 's+d it, you are working far too hard, relax and live a little!!'

    We're off to the school disco.

    £1 per ticket, secret is to get drunk at home, then go to school and have a bop. Thus sving £1.50 a glass for the worst wine ever :D

    Just pray I dont show myself up and get sacked, I work at school :o;)
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:
    Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
  • ooooh, now I am very jealous!!!! I'd love to go to a school disco - I fancy a night of Culture Club and Duran Duran!!!

    ooooh, you mean a school disco as at a school where you work?? ooooh, I thought you meant an old school disco at a pub!!!!!!!!!

    Our school disco will be fab. I get to spend the night embarrasing the !!!!!! out of my 11 year old DD :D

    Already had a few glasses of wine, off to straighten my hair now, then off for a bop :dance:

  • hey, when Dancing Queen comes on (would an 11 year old know that song these days?!), have a boogy for me!!!
  • £560 on AQA. Exact amount needed to clear my next CC - woohoo!!

    There's no getting away from it.....I guess I'll have to do some housework now instead!!!!!
  • Done some sums this afternoon and with this mont's AQA paying off a card and the bank charges when they all start coming in, Iwill have paid off all my unsecured debt and have £300 over.

    I don't think I'll see all my bank charges back until at least Christmas as I'm still waiting for court dates, so I'm ignoring the fact the moneyis coming back and i'm going to keep chugging on with AQA each month.

    I am still hoping to be able to be in a position to be able to up my monthly payment on my secured loan and reduce the term to 5 years in the New Year.
  • Have to be sensible for the next two and half weeks. My OU exam is on the 13 October and I have LOADS of work to do for it.

    I'm going to limit my AQA work to an hour a day during the week and then maybe just two hours a day at the weekends until I've got the exam over with. I've done £635 so far this month, so there is no pressure to add loads to it before the end of the month.

    At some point I will need to sort out my mortgage because it is going up from 1 October. I got a horrible deal when I signed and Iwil have to hang on until May 07 otherwise I will have a 4% redemption penalty. I asked on the mortgage board for help, but had no replies.
