Aww Zig, I am so sorry to hear of your terrible loss. I am thinking of you and your family. Huge hugs.

Oh Zig, that's awful awful news Can't even imagine how you all must be feeling right now. My thoughts aren't worth much, but I'll be keeping you all locked up in there. Although with the still fresh images of the doggers maybe that isn't the best place to be! x

Zig, If I can toss in my two penneth worth here. From my experience the couples who are all smushy lovey dovey over facebook are generally in cr*p relationships and don't want anyone else to know,.

So take solice in the fact that if on facebook their being like that, chances are the relationship is shakey and they'll be over before too long / are probably miserable as things stand.

Glad I'm not the only one who suspects that! One particular friend on Facebook is always posting nauseating status updates and then her and her boyfriend have an even more nauseating conversation about it in the comments underneath and I always end up wondering whether they're just completely putting it on.

Thinking of you Zig! I really hope youre okay it is such a shame it deffo should inspire you to make the most of life and should make you even more excited about going to australia because it is an amazing opportunity!

Its been very quiet on here over the weekend! Hope everyones going to be enjoying the sunshine!!! I've been craxy busy and been trying to work out budgets/organise my money now all outgoings etc have changed with the new house/job but it is pretty hard and I've lost some of my online banking login numbers grr!!!

I know you would post on here but I dont suppose anyones seen any amazing free quidco offers/some similar other way to get £50/£100 with little efffort? OH and I are struggling with him not working while he job hunts and something like that would really give us some breathing room..! What do you think MS would be like in the capital Dinah/NIM? any reccomendations / advice?

N.I.M

Zig, Really sorry to hear about your uncle, thoughts and prayers are with you and his family.

Tink, its probably doable, I think bare and react are very active down your way.
If you give me a PM I'll refer you to bare and Retail Eyes too, dunno what they are like in the capital but might have a few bits, and they have referral fees

I'm so very sorry for your family Zig, what an awful thing to have happened.

Sorry I've been quiet this weekend, uni application is driving me around the bend. Still, I think I'll get it in by tonight (except for my transcript of results which I need to call Newcastle tomorrow to get a copy of) so fingers crossed it is all okay. Just realised I didn't tell you about the nightmare Friday I had with the uni, but now doesn't seem the time.

I actually have less things crossed off than I've added since I made the list! At least it reminds me what needs doing, but there are never enough hours in the day.

I'll keep my eyes open for you, Tink! Is there no way at all you could do a car boot, or do you have old uni books you could sell on amazon/ebay? There's a £15 cashback offer from LoveFilm and £1 cashback if you sign up for a free graze box. That's all I can really think of atm.

If there's anything I can help with Dinah, let me know! If I lived an alright distance away I swear I'd come help clean or something. For the bedroom blind though, we used web-blinds for ours. It cost £180 to get 4 windows done, with 10% cash back through quidco. I think our bedroom one was about £50 so a lot cheaper than a local company we had to come quote us.

Hope everyone had a nice weekend btw! I've hated the heat so locked myself away in my bedroom eating soup and watching movies. WHY SO HOT, SUN?!
