    NSD#7 for me today. Just as well since the mum of the boy I tutored yesterday conveniently forgot to go to the bank to pay me for the half term's lessons, and my pupil tonight cancelled at the last minute due to a netball match :mad: It really annoys me how these people treat me as though I am teaching their children for fun, not because I need the money!!

    Hope for a better day tomorrow.... am just going through one of those weeks when I feel as though everyone is taking advantage of me, at school and in my tuition.

    Still searching for that elusive NSD.........should be able to squeeze at least one more out this week. The paintbrush is threatening, though, so I think I had better brace myself.

    Well I can declare a rather unexpected NSD #7 today :jmet my mum for a coffee at lunchtime and had my eyebrows threaded back into two rather than a monobrow, however despite me protesting otherwise, mummy very kindly treated me :happyhear which I feel rather guilty about so need to do something extra special for mother's day for her.

    Spoke to eBay about the seller not responding to me and they have advised me to open a dispite citing item not as described (which I don't quite get but hey, if that's what they are suggesting...) have sent one more message and if no reply then I'll open the dispute tomorrow.

    OH rather worried about my trip to Taiwan next week due to the reactor in Japan - which I wasn't worried about, and now am..... grrrreeeaaat.

    I hate days like this. Went to get diesel at the lowest priced station according to Petrol prices only to find it 2p a litre more expensive than quote. No fault to PP as it's not an exact science but has there been two days in a row lately when petrol/diesel has actually stayed the same price??? :mad::mad:. Picked up DS from enforced after school club as the family are still all ill, then because I was late getting away from work and he was hungry stopped to feed him before going to Al*i for bread and milk. Mistake! :( Apologies for the rant, but not only not an NSD but a blinkin expensive one. :(

    Diesel: £25
    ASC: £16
    McD: about £7. (Not sure as they over charged me then realised and thrust a bundle of change in my hand!)
    Aldi: £3.97 (Cheapest stop of the day)

    Am now just repeating -tomorrow is an NSD.........
