    Just popped in to say 'hello'. I hated to think of you talking to yourself.
    I am very impressed that you have savings. I only have debts.

    I also loved your cake. It was my son's birthday last week and I put a photo on Facebook. It was very obviously a Tesco cake but my overseas friends were very impressed. I had to come clean to them.

    Thanks for popping over :) When you've paid off your debts, I bet you'll soon have savings though :) we don't have any debts anymore, so we're saving towards a house deposit :) Cake was very tasty, thank you :) and I LOLd about your T cake and admitting :p

    That's great about the tutoring, do you go through an agency? It's something I've been thinking about doing, but teenagers scare me!!

  • Will do! My life is so unexciting :o I don't know what I bother with a diary... :o

    Awwwww SF - you life is bound to be more exciting than mine:o:o (seriously!).

    I can go through huge gaps of not posting in my diary as day to day life during the week is pretty much a version of groundhog day :rotfl:- one of the reasons I started the weekly pots was to try to make sure I did write in it now & then.

    Pants to DH snoring :( my ex used to so know how disruptive it can be.

    Congrats on the savings :j that's a huge achievement :T:T especially with you not having perm work.

    I teach under 6's, so teenagers are utterly terrifying to me!! Maybe I should look into babysitting as an extra income instead... :p
