    Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to me, Happy Birthday to Bluezone, Happy Birthday to me :)

    Scottish - I am due to go shopping tomorrow for the start of the challenge but the figure will be very low as my parents are sorting me out with a box load of food forr the new property as the cupboards are bare, but I'll still have to get my cleaning and washing items!

    hehe..who says it ain sweet in revenge land eh!! So pleased that the last phase is over for you & you can move on, no doubt a different person with lots of valuable lessons learned! Big hugs & welcome to your new life starting afresh with a birthday seems somewhat apt doesent it? As for those who criticise - you'll always get them just try & ignore it if you can...you know how hard you've tried & so do the people that count so just stuff em!

    It's almost a shame that he cant talk to me direct cos of the bail conditions as it would be quite entertaining!! :rotfl:

    Yes I had a great weekend ta.

    I got off my bum and did a few things, firstly I sold some camping stuff to a guy on a campsite who resells it (£50) and then a bootsale on sunday to clear some of my leftover booty stuff. I took 2 vehicles (mum & dad drove the other one). It was fantastic - £189 :):):):)

    Natwest have sent me a form to sign to get my new bank account so have signed it and sent it off then I can finally start afresh and bank my wages which the cheque is sitting at home on the side waiting to be banked.

    Mum and dad said they didnt want any of the money so I bought them sunday dinner in the local £21.50 for 3 of us - not bad I thought. I have also given my dad £150 to look after so I dont spend it - this is for me to save for a deposit eventually. He is going to put it in their savings account so I cant touch it - Great idea and I'm pleased although I feel 6 yrs old again!

    How was everyone elses weekend?
