    Thanks Emz :)

    I have been told to take sunglasses as I'll need them after and possibly the next day too. I've also been told that I may need to go home and sleep for a couple of hours - I'm taking that as an order and having an afternoon nap!

    Very nervous but I am focusing at the moment on the Chinese that OH said he will buy me tomorrow evening :D

    Was it as bad as you thought?

    It was just as icky as I expected (but then I think all eye stuff is icky) but not at all painful and over so fast there wasn't that much time to think about it anyway.

    And everything is so bright and sparkly now it was well worth it :D

    Hoping the bloodshot eye bit is over sooner rather than later though, I look a bit horror movie-ish :)

    £6 to the CC today :)

    That's probably it for the payments from me until payday!

    I've been gone a while! :o

    I ended up off sick as screens were not agreeing with my eyes and then we had the long weekend.

    Been for the 1 week check on my eyes now and they are healing well and I can see at the top end of what they would expect anybody to be able to see at, so excellent news :D

    Craft fair on Monday was not so good :( I made one sale of £4! It was not well advertised and only about 10 people turned up so I suppose one sale was good. The person organising it did not charge for tables in the end though as it was so quiet so that's good. We decided to not be too down and look at it as good practice getting there and setting up etc. It also means I don't need to get so stressed preparing for the next one as I still have all the stock I need. Fingers crossed the one on Sunday goes better!

    In money news - I made a final payment of £250 to the Barclays CC so that is gone! :D:j

    Which is good as I am not happy with Santander and they are my next debt to be tackled. My O/D of £1,400 with them was on 0% so long as £1,000 moved through the account every month. I have done this yet they have suddenly changed the deal to charging me £1 a day up to 20 days, and took the first charge this month :mad: Lucky I have always left £100 spare in there otherwise I would have had bank charges too :mad: So, I have pulled out all the stops and put £912 towards it so far this month. Am hoping to see the back of that one in early July at the latest and phone up to tell the thieves exactly why I am closing the account!

    So, I am sub 5K and at 84% paid now! :j

    Hi Beccie

    Good to see you back. Great news about your eyes. It must have all been worth it :). Sorry the craft fair wasn't so good, but it sounds good that you made one sale with just 10 people turning up. I hope the one on Sunday goes much better.

    Yay to paying off Barclays and clearing a massive chunk of Santander :T. You're so close now :j.
