Its my second last day today and I'm full of the cold. Can't stop sneezing! Not sure if tarot money is paid today or tomorrow since monday was a bank holiday, but got nearly £14.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J0

Last day tomorrow. Snapped at OH, I did apologise as its just not me.
Was chatting to one of my friend's today and discussing what you'd need for a power cut. Got home put chicken in the oven, ten minutes later we have a power cut! Chicken (southern fried) ruined, so dinner was takeaway.
Right, better get off to bed or I'll be yawning tomorrow.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Lots of hugs Unix, hope the sneezing has stopped now.
:eek::eek: Oh dear to the power-cut and tea ruined...we have gas rings and an electric oven, so we can cope OK when the power goes off (all to frequently here).
Lots of (((hugs))) for your last couple of days at work, take care of yourself if you can, it's a traumatic time for you. xxx

We have gas ring but electric oven, since it was the pre-cooked southern fried chicken I didn't want to take a chance Keiss.
DIY friend popped in for a coffee on her way home. Sad last day, my head is pounding. Stress I guess. Why is it so difficult to book a training course? So many different companies trying to out-do each other and out-price each other!CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.

Doing ok, thanks. Getting ready for more moving (hopefully the last one for a while), and can't wait to be in charge of cleaning my own home once more (is that sad??).
Keep your chin up, Sweetie, and you know we're all here if you need us.

Its not sad Nora no. When the simplest of things are taken away from us we do tend to feel helpless.
Back volunteering today (I hate not being busy), came home with a new top for me (red, OH thinks its a bit bright but I like it) and a shirt for OH, and a brooch for my Gran. Both tops are brand new. So I got a bargain.
Sitting my exams week after next, so I need to start studying hard. Picked up some notepads today, already have highlighters just need to pick up page markers (mini post it notes).
Night out tomorrow, had planned on spending tonight giving myself a manicure and pedicure after dropping OH off. Could I be bothered, no.... OH texted he's not getting kept on at his job. So you can imagine how I feel at the moment.
Anyone want to buy Steps tickets? We bought them before we knew any of this was coming.In light of OH's news I feel guilty spending so much money on my course, but its non-refundable and it will increase my chances of standing out from everyone else.

Oh dear Unix, lots of ((((((hugs)))))) to you..life is rubbish sometimes.
Hope things improve for you soon...been fighting a lurgy, so not been on MSE for a bit.
Take care xxxx

Hope you feel better soon Keiss. We had a good night out and all the important people turned up except one (she's is having money worries at the moment and I had to lend her £10 at my leaving lunch on thurs, I know I'll get it back but will have to wait till end of the month). SS took us in to the do last night and picked us up (and he's not asked for petrol money! I did offer but he said no!!! :eek:). SS and OH had a row last night, I told SS how did he think we felt if he wasn't keeping his end of the bargain. He's finally cleaned the big bathroom. Not quite how I'd clean it but its done. I am pretty tired after last night, have posted some pics on fb. So I'm stretched out on the sofa watching cheesey sunday afternoon films.
On the money side I'm still waiting on my payment from Vivatic (£25) and trying to be as sensible as possible. SS (unprompted) has bought 6 pints of milk (I think this might be because I complained we'd gone through 2, 4 pint containers in a matter of 3 days. He's also bought a jar of coffee and he doesn't drink the stuff (we do and had run out!) so he's either up to something or he's realising how stressed we are (OH and I).
I back volunteering tomorrow, will try and resist all the bargains. LT, I will try and remember to post your card tomorrow sorry i keep forgetting. I'll also get some shopping tomorrow that means driving to a different town from where I'm volunteering but I have my discount card (thanks to my friend from my now former work) and money off vouchers so it'll still work out cheaper than using the supermarket in the town where I'm volunteering.CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera.
