    Morning all!

    There seems to be something up with how I am viewing the forum, it looks like I have read everything but I haven't.

    Any how.

    it is 85 days (12 weeks and one day) till my holiday which as I have paid for it is the reason why this month I am skint Mcskinty. SO WORTH IT!!!

    Plans for today include collecting a guinea pig from the other side of London (on the tube fun times!!) My girls lovely as they are, fight and grumble at each other - there is no blood but I feel one in particular wants affection and to cuddle up and the other one won't let her - they sleep at opposite ends of the cage and if I put toys in there they argue over who is in what (essentially which ever toy one goes in the other one wants, I feel terrible that they aren't having a good time). So I am getting a boy (he will be "done") and see how the trio goes. I have been reading that sometimes Trios don't work out but that was after I had agreed to take the new boy and well I feel I have to do something.

    My original topic, 85 days, I have free listing on E bay so once back from the travels I shall do that,

    Current debts are 750 on the CC and 1366 on the loan (can't quite believe that figure!) I have spent £26 this week and had 4 nsd. I am finally getting that thing that all the stuff I could buy will still be there when I am debt free (better late then never) and have tried so hard to think about everything I am spending. I have 3 weeks till pay day and have to pay for 6 driving lessons (6 x22=132) which I kind of have so long as I use the rest of my savings.

    I was so pleased - for months I have been putting money into accounts to pay for the union, the guinea pigs and Birthdays - well I have spent that money out of my normal money so I can use the savings now to pay for normal stuff (IYSWIM)

    This week tho I must focus on 1. going to bed early and walking a bit more 2. marking 3. post filing (nearly up to date) and of course the guinea pigs

    had better go eat, am starving

    see you all later

    Enjoy collecting the new guinea pig - watch out for tube closures over the weekend - they can really affect travel. dH is going to have to on a mission to get to the football today.

    I too am going to try and lust a few things on eBay this weekend if I can muster any kind of energy!

    Have a good day!

    hope that the trio works well, and that bringing him back on the tube isn't too stressful for him.

    :rotfl: it is only just sinking in for me that all this is as much about timing as amounts. Doh.

    Hope you and new piggie are both home happy

    Hi Buffy, long time no type.

    When do you get the test results from the doctor? Hope you're feeling better without so many bleugh days.

    Work seems to not get to you quite as much as it once did, but i can imagine is still very stressful. Hope things at home are calcmer now too. Were you able to continue with your masters? I agree with others who have said it would be a good idea to complete it. For the sake of 6 weeks study (or whatever is left now), you will have that to move forward with in the future. Hope it works out okay for you.

    I don't really talk about work much these days, it is unrelentingly !!!!! and I am deeply unhappy but there are no jobs and with all the cuts and acadamies as awful as it is I am better off there. Lately it has been very bad and I am too nervous to talk about it here in any case as the particularly horrible things are quite specific and would give me away.

    Things at home are up and down but generally ok and in someways better so that is good.

    I have some lovely real life friends I am spendign more time with. The Ex is a distant memory which does feel good to be finally shot of him.

    I just focus on doing nice things at the weekend and getting through the week as best I can. I adore the new guinea pig, he is a really lovely boy:D

    Money wise things are very tight but I haven't been spending much so I am doing the right thing. I am SO nearly there I can hardly believe it. I am itching to pay off the debt and see what happens next.

    the Masters is still up in the air. I couldn't go to the meeting in the end, had to speak to too many parents and then today I just felt so awful at work I came home early for the first time in about six months! have been asleep and feel loads better. I really ought to e mail the woman and apologise but have marking...................


    Best get on with some work
    Tea first.
