    Ouch @ blister, that sounds nasty! I have this awful habit of making tea in just my undies in the morning, the number of times I have got splash burns is untrue but i still don't bother putting a top on :o.

    Is it this Thursday you go to Hungary? If so, have a great time! I fly back Wedsnesday so will try and get on that evening but I make no promises!

    See you sooooooooooooon :cool:

    Very happily married on 10th April 2013 :D

    Yes, it's this thursday, I can't wait actually, will be nice to see my godchildren:). Well remembered though! Hope you're enjoying your break too!

    Invested into a slow cooker,can't wait to try it tmrw! It will be fun:).
    Our letters are missing again, funny that we just ordered 3 things on Amazon and only one arrived. We know who takes the packages and contacted the landlord saying that we are reporting the person to the police and moving out as well if landlord doesn't change the lock on front door and doesn't stop previous tenant to come in through the shop downstairs to collect his letters. This is so annoying and it's been going on for a while, I really hope we will resolve the issue soon.

    Went for tutorial today but somehow it got cancelled and I didn't receive any letter about it. Not a happy bunny, I need to write my assignment tomorrow and was counting on help!

    Right, better get back to studying.

    Glorious Tuesday, only one more day of work this week, than off to Hungary. I have plenty to do today and tomorrow and really need to put my thinking head on how to achieve everything in 2 days. Unfortunately I'm doing the same mistakes with OU as before, leaving everything till last minute. I have an assignment due on Thursday but ideally want to post it tomorrow at lunch time and not to bother with it anymore. Section 1,2 and 4 completed, I need to write Section 3, only 900 words but plenty to say so not sure how to start even. I need to reference the study materials as well as writing about my current level of confidence,skills, etc but 900 words are not enough. Oh well, bring on lunch time and I will do it, I must do it.

    Today's and tomorrow's must to do list:
    • photocopy confirmer form
    • post confirmer form
    • buy cheese and bread for OH
    • buy eggs for work
    • put dvd on ipod
    • pack suitcase
    • print out flight and bus tickets
    • find Hungarian currency, but where is it?
    • do bills for flats
    • find old laptop and charger and take it to Hungary
    • email sister re boots
    • call life insurance company and find out what is going on
    • finish assignment,
    • reference properly,
    • claim learning outcomes
    • send it off latest tomorrow lunch time
    • print out instruction for slow cooker
    • go to the gym tonight/run 5km
    • go to the gym tomorrow night/run 5km
    • call nursery world and renew subscription
    Ok, quite a lot to do. Pay day is next week, I'm getting reduced salary as of October and because of a hitch it's gonna be even less than I thought it would be,mainly because in September I had an unpaid day off but they paid for it and they will modify payment for October. I should get around £1900, from which the first official payment of the loans are going out. I aim to do the payment on Lloyds and make appr. £900 overpayment on top of it, and do the payment on Tesco's. I think it is going to be a tight month,with credit card as well but we shall see, will update next week. I did so far 2 babysittings this month, that's 8.5 hours extra-a good £68.

    yeah all good here thanks! we also have some debt due to the wedding. only a small amount but enough to worry about.

    Still waiting for my accident claim to be settled. no closer than i was in March to be honest! they were quick enough to injure me! oh well!

    Yes everything sorted for the big day! just on the countdown now. off to bournemouth for my hen weekend on Thursday, then it will start to feel very real!

    Dream house is a good reason to take on a bit of debt i think! u worked hard to clear the last lot and im sure this will be no exception! xx

    Thanks Keza. Glad the wedding is ok, I'm sure you will clear the debt in no time.

    Strange that your insurance claim hasn't come through yet, hope it will very soon. where are you going on honeymoon? I can't remember, sorry.

    I'm off to see my parents this Thursday, will be in hungary for 4 days, my mum is so excited though I have lots to do ,seeing my sister and brothers:).

    I can't believe it's Saturday already. I'm flying back to the UK tomorrow but feel like haven't done anything over here though did a lot I guess.

    I sorted out some papers and the flats are all ok, spent lots of time with my nieces and nephew, bought them books and pjs for Xmas (as i'm not seeing them before Xmas). I had a good chat with my cousin and today I need to somehow manage to see a couple of people without being too busy. We shall see.

    Once I back, I need to concentrate on debt busting again and doing my OU, I will do some ebaying as well hopefully next week.
