    Hey all, you may have seen my thread I posted last week about feeling seriously down about my debts and whatnot. Things are looking good now, and I have a firm grip on it all, and have learned to be assertive to these people, and I would just like to say a big thank you to everyone here for helping me see the light and the end :) You truly are a great bunch of people, and as my surname suggests, a true Blessing! ;)

    And also, I have just received my application to become a Special Constable and it has been accepted! Wahoo!!

    Well done!! What lovely news to start off your weekend! :T

    Pooky did they have any success at young carers? :D

    DD2 is waiting to pop into the next session they have at school, the local group isn't very local and as I don't drive I just can't get her there.

    DD1 is to busy revising to worry about anything at the moment...her school has just rolled out the "let's make them sit GCSE's in year 9 instead of year 11" so she's up to her eyes in science notes.....one exam down, 3 to go this term.

    How's the fizzy straws and drinks thing going......or do I need to come slap wrists? :D

  • Ahhh, ok, I hope they have a great time tomorrow with you. Good luck to DD1 with her exams, hated my GCSE's, didn't sleep from the momment the first exam started till the last exam ended :o

    Good thankyou, 3 meals down, 679cal left so I will have some nuts/seeds and yogurt later ;)

    WooWoo reminds me of the Leeds meet back in Sept....2008! EEK!

    blimey......time goes by so frighteningly fast :eek: I was only thinking an hour or so ago that in around 6 weeks - it will be a year since Weybiza :eek:

    Had a call today to book an appointment with the pain consultant. He's also a consultant anaesthetist so hopefully he doesn't knock me out and do anything surgery related as I get in the door :eek: Mind you , with only a 30 minute appointment I can't see he'd be able to do much :rotfl:
