    Rec'd a letter from HSBC today re bank charges, saying they are looking into the matters I have raised and will contact me with a full response as soon as he has completed his investigations - sounds like a standard letter to me!!

    Not much else happening in my world, doing a boot sale on sunday, but anything raised will go towards spending money for our holiday next month.

    Hi Tigz

    I am up and down at the mo. It feels like one step forward and two steps back, what with losing keys (then finding them after paying £95 to have a new set) the wayward son nicking fags and me having to pay for them! Now I have a really stinking cold so have had a day off work. Feeling sorry myself a little methinks!!:o

    Oh and my bezzie mate left me to emigrate to Australia! HUH! she went last night! Wonder if she will bump into MS London.

    I can't seem to get motivated to do anything at the mo except surf MSE!!!!!

    Enjoy the sale on Sunday. I have a room full of stuff that I don't know what to do with. I should ebay it really but again I don't really seem to have the energy. Let me know how your first day goes won't you:j


    Sorry you feeling up & down - hope more up now. Sad news re your best mate but think of the holidays.... get saving nectar points/clubcard points for airmiles.....!!!

    Hope you have a good w/end xxx

    Well tonight is my last night of an unemployed person... 2moro I will be starting work. Am bit nervous but more so about dropping DD off at nursery. Plus how will I cope without my MSE fix???

    Boot sale went well today, we cleared out our shed of bits, sold lots of books/CD's and lots of bits we had. Came back with £40ish after taking out the £5 they charge to have a site. Was good fun actually, will do another one towards the end of the boot sale season, aug maybe? So that's £40 towards spending money for our holiday.

    Hi Sammy, GirlRacer & OneDay

    I was exhausted the 1st 2 days!! lol Not had time to log on and post.

    Monday was good, information overload though and in the eve went out for a meal with BF and his family (his Dad paid for us all so a no spend - yay), DD didn't sleep well monday night so I was tired yest.

    Enjoying it so far though, it really feels good to be back out there, def made the right decision. Apart from DD cries lots when I drop her off, but she'll adjust to it I'm sure. Just need to let things settle down.

    Have a serious cash flow problem at the moment though, BF lent me the 1st weeks nursery fees, need to find another £115 for next weeks fees, £186 for bills/rent etc. I've got it all coming from various places but not sure when I'll get it.

    Sure will get things sorted.

    Thanks for the messages, was lovely.

    Speak soon xx

    :rotfl: :rotfl: Don't worry Tigz, my little one cries the minute I go to go out the door,but the childminder assures me that as soon as I have gone, she is all smiles. Just do what I do and RUN, as fast as you can.

    Don't get stressed about the money, I am sure it will all come right in the end, although i am sure it must be difficult at the moment. Just think of that first pay cheque.

    I have been paid today - I love it! Whereas I used to get paid and think ooohh what can I buy, I now think which debt shall I pay off this month. My next card is on Friday and that will be cleared. I CAN'T WAIT! None of the rest will be that easy though.

    Take it easy!!:rotfl:

    hope you have a good day,
