Wow CP are you working all those hours in a row??

Yep! 8am-11pm (at least) on Saturday, then I sleep at the home, then 7.30am til at least 10pm on Sunday! An extra £100 towards my car repairs

Well done Kayleigh! I used to have that problem...chemistry taught me to write very short essays...psychology didn't like me doing a 2000 word essay in 1000 words :P

I may have some good news from The OU, fingers crossed for a positive outcome.

Got a follow-up clinic with my hand today, no more showering with a rubber glove on, hooray

well done Kayliegh

I'm still toying with the idea of doing a course

Ben 16 on the 4th feb, has decided what he wants to do in sixth form last night, he wants to do buisiness studies, economics, public relations for definate but he has to choose another too but he don't know what yet.

Its freezing here too

gonna update my sig in a minute and then try and work out a shopping list for food shopping next month, we spent 250 quid odd on food shopping so far this month surely i can get it cheaper than that, dh said the only way were going to get it cheaper is going back to getting food from icelands and filling freezer up instead of buying everything fresh.

I know there are a few of you that are earning a lot less than us a month and are managing fine and i'm sorry if i sound like i'm moaning, honestly i'm not!! just trying to cut back a little, but i think my lack of cooking skills and food preperations are letting me down.

Everyone deals differently with food budgets Claire, so don't feel bad. How many are you feeding on £250? Can your OH cook?

Hope it is good news from the OU Gemmzie.

How many of you are there Claire? Have you had a look at the Old Style forum on here, lots of ideas about how to eat cheaply and some easy recipes to try out.
