    As long as you're ok thats the main thing :D Must admit i am the same - have been going through spells of not posting for days and then jotting something down - mainly because i have no updates either - my income streams all seem to have dried up :o - no 2nd or 3rd job for a while now, MSs seem impossible to get so my only extra at the mo. seems to be from the bay of e. I'm trying to post a bit more and keep motivated now as my birthday is in september and i desperately want to have cleared all my debt by then *gulp* but really need extra money to do it!

    Its also been hard as the house has been amess for months (main reason why i can't crack on with crafty goodies) Basically had some urgent maintenance work done which involved emptying the biggest room in the house - stuff from this room is now in every other room in the house except for the bathroom. This was done months ago as i say - but they did a rubbish job :mad: so the house had to stay in a state whilst we try and sort out how it can be put right :(

    Good to hear you are well hon - i'll pop back in a couple of weeks as i'm off on my holibobs soon :)

    Ooh, university college or part-time/full-time pre-degree type college?

    You know, if you are unemployed for a little while and sign up then, there's a fair chance you might be able to get help with the fees, depending on what you sign up for. ;)

    If you've not got a degree already (?), you'd get your fees paid if you went F/T (which is usually only a couple of days a week).:)

    I looked into it this year but the days varied each term and I can only change my hours once a year so couldn't do it unfortunately.:(

    Hello F-F

    Sorry, not been reading as much as I used to and certainly not been posting much either!

    congrats on the voluntary redunancy, that is the best way to leave a job you don't like.

    I was wondering if you knew how Kissjenn was doing? She hasn't posted for a while.

    xxxx
    Nevertheless she persisted.

    Oh, it gets SO much worse than that...if Fresian doesn't get back here soon, I'm going to let loose with The Really Bad Puns.
