Morning all!
Good news first, my student loan is in! :j :j :j I'll update my total in the next few days, when the payment clears on my card. Bad news, part of it is going to the garage as the flaming car won't start again. :mad: I'll clean the spark plugs later, see if that helps, if not, it's the breakdown lot again. Or can you call them when you're actually at home? I get a funny feeling you can't. Oh well, maybe my garage will do callouts. I'm not sure if work's open anyway, the voicemail came on after 2 rings which suggests no one's switched it off and someone should have been in by that time to turn it off. I'll see if I can get back to sleep, though I don't think the half a can of Red Bull left over from last night that I drank to wake me up will help. That and I have a lecture at 9am anyway. Guess I'm staying awake then. :rolleyes:
What's everyone else up to today?

PS For those of you who missed it, the essay is finished!!! :j :j :j

Well Elliot's school is closed so I won't be going anywhere today!
Don't know about Jessica's yet.
...Linda xxIt's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.0 -

Edit again - 1,861 words, within the 10% margin of error. :j :j :j Now to put it on a memory stick, try the car again and if it doesn't work, start walking for the bus. :rolleyes:

Morning all
Both DD's schools are closed, so yet more joy of them being home and bickering!
Got the letting agents coming to do the annual house inspection later so I'd best make an effort to run a hoover round.
Going to bung something in the slow cooker for tea and crack on with some more forms that need filling in...it's a never ending round of questions here lately."Start every day off with a smile and get it over with" - W. C. Field.0
