    Morning all, did everyone have a good weekend? Mine's been quite relaxing, got quite a bit of running in, a nice hill walk, and lots of food!

    Still off today but got interview this afternoon, nerves are really kicking in now. Any positive vibes around 3pm onwards much appreciated! :)

    Hi, can anyone join this? I'm kinda new to all this lol

    I'm excited as I have £23 in Dooyoo, £10 in a survey site, about to start clicking sites and I have finally got an arrangement on my barclaycard which is reasonable. It means my card will be unusable ever again (no problems there) but I'm starting to deal with things. Hope everyone is having a good Tuesday.

    Grr the hospital still haven't got the results from my Great-Niece's MRI Scan. My nephew (her Dad) is so worried and everyone keeps saying no news is good news, but he just wants to know one way or the other.

    20p per product = £14 a week ~ £56 a month
    30p per product = £21 a week ~ £84 a month (or in other words one weeks shoping at the new price)

    The clothes we ordered from Ladywan have arrived! Unfortunately I don't quite 'fill' one of them in the boob area! If anyone would like to buy it off me, I would happily post it to you

    It'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.
