    Hi all,

    Don't normally post on the daily as I'm a busy girl but wanted to check in and let you all know what an inspiration you are!

    I also wanted to say know I've chatted on here before with a couple of teachers - hope you are all as lucky as us in Birmingham as we're off now for two days and then it's half term!

    I have now however got no excuse to get back on track with flying (I'll be looking out for your latest list moggins!) and get generally organised with phone calls and paperwork towards more moneysaving. :j
    Wandered away from the MSE track for a while but am back and on a mission! Debts cleared nearly £18k. Now to start saving ...

    welcome and hugs to the newbies (((hugs))). Ali I hope you get lots of help from people on here. I know its a hard time but I'm sure you'll be fine in the end.

    Yes, its official, we too have tomorrow off school as well, so thats good news except I've left my paperwork at school so I can't do any work this half term - (oh, shame!!!)

    Keep warm this evening all xxbbxx
    If you don't have something nice to say don't bother saying anything at all.

    :( oh no just had a text off a friend, he bought my old car off me (which I adored and didn't want to sell) and it's been crashed into, waiting for him to text back to see if he's ok as I rang but phone was switched off. Car went into back of him, saying that roads as they are and people forget to allow more breaking distance etc

    *edit* he's text back, damaged shoulder, probably just bruising and shaken but ok, poor car probably a write off :( sorry soppy I know but that car was my baby
