    Luc found your new diary and just wanted to add that I think you are an inspiration - I know that I do not know you as well as the others but it appears that you have overcome a great deal. Nathan and OH are very lucky to have someone who is as determined as you. Good luck and go girl and get all you wish for. Will keep popping back to push you on track when you need it, but me thinks that you won't need me. Take care Billie xx:T

    Lovely new diary :) Allotment/Garden project sounds amazing, hope it works out for you. Guess you could take on a small plot which gives you enough to grow something but not so big that its unmanagable.
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    That's what I thought, and I can also do some of the communal stuff to be involved in bigger projects (there are talks of a poly tunnel and cold frames being set up.

    Morning.

    Just had a call from student loans. Apparently my last payment didn't clear (HBoS:mad:) so I need to shuffle my few remaining funds and phone back to pay it. On the plus side it is my last ever student loan payment so will be almost £90 a month better off than last time I was earning.

    Now I know I am going to be earning I have asked Hubbles for a loan of £500 to avoid any last minute charges and will pay that back over the next 2 or 3 months (not because he's mean but because he has worked really hard to keep a float in the bank which will eventually be a deposit on our new home;))

    Going to visit the nursery we've picked again today. Hubbles wants a look-see and we need to hand in registration form and deposit. Then home (via Ms for milk and butter) to ironing and playtime;)

    No gardening today:(

    Hubbles is considering switching current account to First Direct to get the £100 reward.

    Can I do the same? Or will him doing it stop me doing it. A free £100 is not to be sniffed at!

    Luc we have been with FD for years and can highly recommend them - internet and/or phone banking with them is fab. XX
