Hi MiaowMiaow!

Just popping in to say hello.

Well done for passing your mock exam today!:T

Just quickly caught up on your diary.

I totally hear you on feeling a bit down today. It felt almost autumnal here this evening. I can imagine things must feel also strange with your bro moving out and the anticipation of someone new moving in.

I hope the revision is going well - not long to go now!

I'm also on the 1 debt in 100 days challenge so will be following your progress!:D

Thanks tearose:) hope the challenge is going well for you, it is definitely motivating me so thats a good thing!

Things to remember about car -

Tax - already paid for , waiting for tax disc to arrive in post
Car insurance - due 14/9
MOT - expires 07/09

need new rear numberplate - check emails re having already paid for this?

Plan of action re car-

1) contact number plate people - email sent - for some reason i paid for the numberplate but then never sent off my documents so did not get it and as this is now a year ago i am feeling pretty stupid! - will need new rear number plate to pass MOT I think.

2) MOT to be booked in for sat 3rd sep - also look into deals with service at same time

3) Research car insurance towards end of august - will sort when paid on 28th but still need to pay monthly DD.

it's good to get your car stuff planned, i nearly bu99ered up my MOT by going in a day too early to keep my original date, but thankfully they let me postpone it a couple of days. I'm fast heading towards my insurance, rescue and service and organising OH's as well.
