    Glad to hear the probate was straightforward and you're seeming a bit calmer now mins. I'll be sending good vibes for the revision... perhaps some extra hours in the day might help?! ;) ... and crossing my fingers for when the exams themselves come round.

    That's an impressive amount of shrapnel, you've inspired me to dig out my moneybox and re-start saving my coppers and bits, soon adds up doesn't it!

    Take care of yourself x

    Cheap? I'll have you know it was a Viennetta (on BOGOF!) :rotfl: .

    Thanks to all of you for your good wishes. I should really immerse myself in books for the next ten days or so but I will be popping in from time to time - you lot are my entertainment and far more gripping that 'Stenders these days!

    Had the lovely hot bath (with extra bubbles) and shall be taking myself off to my own bed shortly. Nothing like your own bed, is there, when you're so tired even your eyebrows hurt.

    Taxi - I take it your absence will be due to a well-deserved holiday. Have a wonderful time if I don't catch you beforehand and come back rested and refreshed and ready to rock on those debts!

  • Hi

    I've just had the sweetest message from lynsayjane wishing me well and telling me she posted on here with my best wishes to you all. LJ, you're a :staradmin to worry about me!

    Haven't been on for ages so I'm way behind the news of the DFWs. Hope all are well.

    The chaos has stepped up slightly here. I won't bore you all with details but suffice to say that nothing is ever simple and I'm up to my neck in various things. On top of which my job will end in the next few weeks so I'm back on the job search trail as well as everything else.

    I don't imagine that I'll be around for a good while as my next courses start immediately after my exams finish and we're on the home straight for the final exams in June. I think the little time I have at the moment would be better spent on qualifying than worrying about cutting corners and paying off debt asap. And, of course, we all know how addictive MSE is! I'd slap myself if I failed because I'd spent whatever spare time I do have having fun!

    Of course, I'll bear in mind what I've learned here and keep practising. You'll all get there before me, I'm sure, and good luck to you all.

    Bye for now

    Just want to say (if you pop back and read this of course)...good luck with exams and the next bout of studying.

    Also, very good luck looking for the next job too.

    Sorry to hear things are building up to neck level though....what can I say? Not much except I hope you can pick your way through it all and sort things out as quickly as possible.

    Lotsa love.
