What does everyone have planned for this festive weekend?:beer::beer::beer::beer::beer::beer:
I went out with the girls from work (minus mardy pants) and had a great time. We had Woowoo and cheap Wetherspoon food and right laugh. We have decided to do it every month after pay day. Really, I can't tell you what a difference it makes to have at work place that I enjoy (ok, one small cog in the wheel but I am not letting it affect me anymore)
Have had 2 lots of good news this morning re. money-Thank you Sammy! That will all go to paying DH back for helping me fix my car and get started with Cambridge etc. I am very seriously concidering buying a new car-I always said I wouldnt buy brand new but there are some brilliant offers right now that I can afford monthly and DH said he is greatly concerned about the rust attacking the under carridge (sp?) of my car. It also needs 2 new wheels, the other brake sorted, a service, cam belt...the list goes on and on...I am looking at a Mazda 2. My friend got one for £99 a month with a trade in. Since I am working 70 hour weeks between Cambridge and my 'real' job I think I can swing for that. :cool:
Off to a party later once I do some cooking (DD and I are making a v special 'binocular' pie-her name for banoffee and a greek salad) and I am v much looking forward to it.
So, I will stop rambling now (Too late!)

Morning All
Finished my job yesterday and had a lovely lunchtime drinks with those that could make it. I was bought some lovely flowers (two lots!) and they smell gorgeous. Keep getting a waft from them - lovely! Also a ginormous box of chocolates that will come in handy whilst watching the football.
Glad you had a good time out Bunny, and no hangover - bonus!OD [STRIKE] £2600 [/STRIKE] £0 :j Loan [STRIKE]£9500.00[/STRIKE] £0 :j Car [STRIKE]£3150[/STRIKE] £0 :j Moving Costs [STRIKE]£1300[/STRIKE] £0 :j Savings £1150 :j
