    i have five extra shifts in the next 3 weeks then one normal week then off to wales with the caravan that 500 in the pot though although not updated reckon i have made/saved about 2500 shame ive spent it all lol however we are now managing our money much better and although still have a lot of debt we are not sweating at the beginning,middle and end of each week so that deserves a hooray all on its own hoorayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

    Perhaps everyone is just having a busy day Evenstar! How are you?

    Jenna what an utterly miserable time you've had of it, keep your chin up, there is always light at the end of the tunnel!

    Elly you sound like you're thoroughly enjoying your livingroom, I'm so glad! Sure you've got a busy couple of weeks ahead of you, but then you can go enjoy your holiday and know that at the end of it you're coming back home to your love new room!

    *hugs* to all in need!

    Hey Jenna and Victoria its great to hear from you both.
    Hope things start to pick up for both of you soon.
    Elly sounds like its really how you wanted it all to be - very exciting and hooray about less debt and sweating. yay.
    Evenstar I think over the summer months we will find it is a lot quieter and more fits and starts too.
    how are the 50s ideas coming along. I love the coastal style idea - reminds me of your blog.
    Toots. woohoo its nice to see you. hope you are loving having OH back. any nearer finding somewhere to rent?

    Jo ,I tend to do something each year on my birthday and refuse to work whether it ends in a zero or not .lol I went to alton towers for my 30th and casino with just 2 of my sisters for my 40th . Presents dont really bother me but could i suggest a trip with the kids to see something local that you always mean to go and see but never do ,ie local waterfall,castle,zoo,google the tourist board they usually have offers .when oh is working i have taken the kids to zoo,safari, woods,beach, always with a cool bag with food to do whole day and if you are organised enough with the food thing blanket juice you could stay late on a beach build a fire and watch sunset probably would be better than the party thing oh dont forget the ghetto blaster lol and really thats an eighties thing to do
