Debt free by 30? 6 months to go!

Blimey, it's bad when you read your own last diary entry and think "miserable cow, cheer up!" Sorry guys...:o...I'm going to blame pregnancy hormones. I've already had to warn OH about them and feel that the sooner I can tell the kids in my class the better because they must wonder what on earth is wrong with me!

Lesson observation is tomorrow so (once again) I have work to get on with so can't chat for long.

Moneywise, no change! NS day but no payment day too.

Hope everyone ok.

Just checked online banking and I have a lovely £533.52 in my account paid back from my student loan!

:j:beer::j:beer::j:beer::j:beer::j:beer::j

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Have gone straight to my credit card and made a £200 payment on that. Rest will clear my overdraft which I was due to be out of by next month anyway so it really helps, feel I can really attack the credit card from now on in!! Signature updated too.

Well done on getting that back and for clearing the cc. Also congrats on the pregnancy. How long did u have to wait to get the money back from the student loan company? They owe me some money back too.

It took about a week and a half from sending them the information so not too bad. Really pleased, was so tempted to save it but was nice to make another overpayment on the CC.

Not had feedback from lesson obs as was observed by deputy who has been pulled pillar to post today and by 4.30 I was too tired to wait around so came home! I think it went ok though, pleased it's done at least.

OH has offered to take me for dinner today, only to nandos but it'll be a nice treat as we haven't officially celebrated ourselves yet. It's a fairly cheap night out as we buy one refill drink to share and we have a loyalty card stamped to get some free chicken. :cool:

Reeeeeeaaaaallly looking forward to half term and a week off work. Two more days....

Hiya hun, well done on the over payment

I sent my application on Monday for Maternity Allowance so hoping to hear back from them soon

Hope you had a lovely evening at Nandos, me and hubby always convert our tesco vouchers to restuarant vouchers and thats our treat, we went to pizza express last weekend, and with our next lot were going to bella italia - yum yum xxx

Half term now can not come quick enough...

Today has been worst day so far with pregnancy as have experienced sickness, tiredness, aching, tiredness, sickness, tiredness, tears oh and tiredness. I guess at least it feels real now.

Got my lesson feedback today, and cried! I got satisfactory with good elements but this is the worst I've had in about 4 years of teaching so was really disappointed. I totally agreed with everything said and being an observer myself knew it would probably be that but I still knew I could have done better. Plus hormones didn't help! Another one under the belt at least and she was very apologetic, told me she knew I was a good teacher and thanked me for all my continuing hard work. Ha!

Ready for bed already, early night I think...a very rock and roll weekend of sleep ahead.

Loumac, you are so like me it's untrue! The lesson Obs I had last week (before the flu floored me completely) was graded as satisfactory with good elements - the worst I have had ever. I have been really frustatrated about the grading (think some of it was unfair as she commented that I didn't seem to know where the children were in the class...I don't actually teach that subject to the children so of course I didn't!!)
I know it's harder said than done but try not to stress about it - you're pregnant and have a lot to cope with already! And besides it's HAL TERM :j:j:j:j:j
