    Morning Guys!

    Well I am having a mare today - have just opened a birthday card from my 'orrible sister in law, and having asked for some vouchers to get some new clothes for my placement in september, she has got me a ticketmaster voucher! Now I know I sound really ungrateful, but she know's I have no childcare so we don't really go anywhere - I'm going to see if I can find something I can take Xan to in the hols, but it's for £20 so am going to have to find more money to put towards something I didn't want to buy anyway!!! Anyway selfish rant over - but it's my birthday and I'll moan if I want to :rotfl:

    Anyway - no big steps today apart from...
    • Big fat lunch with hubs :)
    • Play my new DS Game :)
    • Large glass of vino once xan goes to bed :)

    Make £10 a day June 103.04/300

    Hi again,

    I've been really busy with work atm so haven't found much time to come on here. Unfortunately, I can't work for the next few days as the gearbox has gone on my car. :eek: :( Thank God for AA Parts and Garage Cover as I now get what would be nearly £500 worth of work done for £35. :j So I'm planning on spending the days while the car's being fixed (probably the rest of this week at least as the guy needs to find a new gearbox first) ticking off as many jobs as possible from my ever expanding to-do list, including looking for a non-driving job instead so this sort of thing doesn't happen again.

    Today I want to:

    Shower
    [STRIKE]Take OH to sort out HB.
    Have lunch in town.
    Use Jobcentre phone to call up about jobs.[/STRIKE] OH not up to town, will try again tomorrow.
    Wash bedding.
    List mini oven and pink boots on Ebay.
    Get recycling bag and bin in.
    Call EDF Energy about meter change. :D
    Find birth certificate. :D

    This week I want to:

    Write plan for week for therapy.
    Do half of total JR writing.
    Set up shredder.
    Sort through recent letters.
    Hoover hallway. :D
    Mop kitchen and bathroom.
    Buy cleaning cloths.
    Wipe down surfaces in kitchen and bathroom.
    Find 5 items to list on Ebay next Thurs.
    Phone call to change repayment dates.
    Attend interview (11am, Fri). :D

    I think that's everything. If I've missed anything, I'll add it later on.

    Happy Birthday Xans mum, hope you had a lovely day!!
    But oh what a carp pressie that was, I know I sound mean, but why buy something for someone that you know they will not be able to use. Why not try flogging it on ebay so you can get what you actually want?

    WOOOOHOOOOO!!!! On winning the Butlins trip, that is a great free birthday pressie!!
