    will watch this space for your new idea..looking forward to that

    think it'll do you good to get a bit of a social life...it's amazing what we put off when debt busting and it's about getting the balance right at the end of the day

    See, we always think that finding a babysitter is the hard bit, but who's driving is definitely the biggie! Hope you win ;)

    We did have a good time even though I was driving as I lost the toss :j

    The reading scheme is easyread the kids really enjoy it we are on lesson 38 I think it is about 12 months altogether they reckon it is about 3 months to notice a difference but I have to say it is making a big difference already takes 15 minutes a day kids remind me to do it they don't have to be nagged which makes it a pleasure to do.

    Been looking for jobs again today decided to widen the search so have to re slant my CV for a job I have seen today which would suit me down to the ground but as it is local to me pays well and is term time only I expect a lot of people will be after it :( but it was the only one remotely possible so will see how it goes - what really annoys me is applying for jobs and not even getting an email to say sorry no go or at least a time limit after which if you don't hear from us you have not been successful - so rude - but I suppose indicative of the job market at the moment. Have to keep trying though as it doesn't matter how much I reduce expenses I can't eradicate the debt except by increasing my income had a couple of if only moments today

    My life seems to revolve around such moments at the moment :o

    Fingers crossed again for the job. Getting a job is bloomin' hard work these days. The one you're after sounds ideal. I shall send out a positive message to the universe for you (once i've finished my list :D) xxx
