    Thank you all for your well wishes today! Kel - I am sure you will be fine hun :).

    Am annoyed as just typed a huge reply but somehow managed to shut the page down and lost it all :mad:.

    Am very glad the exam is done now, the stress of it was making me ill and I never normally get like that! I haven't slept properly for a few nights and have a really achey hand from all the writing :(. I am not convinced I have done enough to pass, I had a couple of questions where I was able to put lots of info but a few that I thought I might have done ok but then I had two really horrible questions where I might be lucky to get a mark or two, by the end I was panicking and was running out of time :(. I wont find out until August so am putting it out of my mind as I need to start revising for my other exam which is on Monday!.

    On to other stuff....

    It was OH's birthday on Friday and he liked his presents and even the game turned up in time :D. Was a bit annoyed that the case was damaged as it didn't say that on the auction but it works, which is the main thing! He decided he wanted to go to Bluewater shopping which is very unlike him as he hates shopping! I managed to spend just £9.98 on our lunch :cool:. I did get 3 nail varnishes in Boots but there were on offer - 3 for 2 and I had enough boots points to cover it :T. We then went out for an Indian which was absolutely gorgeous but OH wouldn't let me pay which was good for me but I did feel bad.

    Other than that I spent almost all weekend revising which was horrid as the flat was so hot but having the fan on meant my notes kept blowing everywhere :mad:.

    On the money side of things....

    I made about £45 on Ebay after fees which is great :j
    I won £10 on the lottery on Saturday and found out I had £6.90 in there that I didn't know about - bonus!! So have arranged to transfer that back.
    I got an expenses cheque from work today for just over £20 including the car parking money I wasn't sure would be approved.

    Did however spend £18 in Tesco last week for OH's card, cake, balloons etc which I did know I was going to spend so not so bad. My ebay fees came out but I had a little bit of money in my paypal account so it was £11.86 - again, couldn't be avoided!

    Sunday and Yesterday were NSD's and my mum bought me a big pouch of Tobacco so I shoulnd't need to buy any more this week :D. Was naughty today and bought some red bull and sweets after the exam but that was my treat for getting through it :rotfl:.

    Got to pop to Asda tomorrow for some food bits and will need petrol in the next few days but so far I think I am doing quite well! The man I paid for one fish tank light hasn't got back to me about buying the other ones even though it seems he has been back from work abroad for over a week, have messaged him about the one I have alredy paid for as I am a bit peeved he hasn't bothered! Fortunately I paid for it as goods through paypal which means I am covered if he is dodgy or wont send it - phew!

    Well, I think I am almost there! Going to plan some days off in summer holidays soon with daughter so OH can book them off too. Not in the office Friday as spending the day revising so tomorrow and thursday are going to be long days and I have lots of housework to catch up on :mad:.

    Hope everyone is well xx

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    I'm sure you'll be fine... it's normal to think you've fluffed it! Sounds like you're doing well with the money.. result on the lottery, I think it must be my turn this week!! I wouldn't worry too much about your housework, get your revision done in small bits and get some nice days out organised so you've got something to look forward to!

    LittleKel.. I was born in Barnstaple and grew up in Hartland. Beautiful part of the world, you're lucky to be there!
